Ooh! I get to play now too: I have limited space and decided to build one of the "reloading bench on a Workmate 225" benches. Built the thing out of 3/4" plywood held together with 1/4" dowels and wood glue. The shelf is set deeper from the top to keep stuff from rolling off; with some...

I lurk, but ask questions when I don't know and offer information when I can on The Firingline.com 1911forum.com Fish

I'd rather be sure than say the "as far as I know." Washington code is available online and a simple Google search suggests that under RCW 9.41.040(2)(iii) if you are older than 18 years of age (and meet all of the other criteria outlined in the WCA), you can possess a handgun. Provided you...

Fantastic reply, ArmedBear. I vote for a shotgun.

I've had my second amendment rights restored in Tennessee and have successfully been included in the Voluntary Appeals File (VAF) that the BATF maintains. Petitioning the State court of TN for the restoration of my citizenship rights was relatively simple; applying to the VAF was more of a...

I'm not sure if he had an option. At the time, the bear was chewing on his legs. In retrospect, I'm sure that he would rather have not had to deal with the bear at all, but in this instance, shooting the bear in the head and neck was really all he could do. Steven

An acquaintance of mine, who used to be a backcountry outfitter in a SW Montana wilderness, was attacked by a grizzly bear during a guided trip. Both his client and himself were mauled quite severely. While the grizzly was--quite literally--chewing on the girl's face, my acquaintance was able...

The follower is in place but the rounds just don't want to "catch" on anything to hold them in place. It has not been rechambered for another round. Unless anyone has any other ideas, I'll take it in to a smith. It's probably something incredibly simple that I'm not explaining correctly...

That's the thing; I can't even get one round to stay in the magazine. The spring in the magazine just forces it back out. Any help would be appreciated. Steven

As a new owner of an older rifle, I went to the range today to put get familiar with my purchase. One of the first things I noticed, though, was that I couldn't load the magazine. I bought a 1962 Remington 700 .30-06 with a blind magazine. In trying to load rounds into the magazine at the...

Ask and ye shall receive: I'm relatively new to high powered rifles (this is my first), so here's the question: in the bottom picture, what's the hole for that is immediately in front of the breech? Thanks - Steven

I picked up a Remington 700 .30-06 the other day.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that the CMP sold ammo. Ultimately, I'd like to find the round that this rifle prefers, especially if I have my first elk in the crosshairs this fall! On their way! I've had to spend this beautiful late-summer weekend indoors writing. Believe me, I'd...

Excellent explanation. But I'd add to the ammo spent the time spent in going to/from the store or the money spent in shipping the scope back. Even though I'm still relatively young, I realized a few years ago that I'd rather pay more for a quality product and keep it for a lifetime (or...

Rangerruck, I paid $400 for the whole shebang. Hopefully that won't make you cry! There may have been better deals to be had, but I felt like I got this rifle and scope for a song. It was exactly what I wanted and a great price to boot. The scope is a fixed power 6x. I don't believe...

Just thought I'd drop a line and say that I bought a new (to me) rifle the other day. I bought a used Remington 700 .30-06 built in May of 1962. Other than a bit of dust, the action is smooth and the bluing is almost perfect. To top it off, the rifle still has an old Bausch and Lomb scope on...

I generally buy for function rather than as a collector. For example, I had been saving for a high-power rifle for elk hunting for some time and bought a beautiful used (first year production; older than I am!) Remington 700 .30-06 today. Next up will likely be a back up to my Glock 22. After...

Maybe you missed it. Citizenship rights, as defined by the state of Tennessee are the right to vote (which is discussed in a different code section), the right to sit on a jury, the right to hold public office, and the right to purchase and possess firearms. While these words aren't...

Exactly. I started reading this thread and had nearly finished it before I realized that it was almost three years old! Even though the ATF is congressionally prohibited from investigating whether or not a felon should regain the right to purchase and possess firearms, that felon can...
