    I would like to put together an upper and would like some help on sourcing parts and the options available for what I want to do.

    My dad has recently asked me to help him make a will. Caught me by surprise and I really don't know where to start. I have been doing some research but haven't really answered my own questions. There is a large house, some acreage, life insurance policies and money in various places...

    Personal fitness milestone...

    I just rode ten miles on my bicycle today! I was disgusted with myself and started to get serious about it. I was tired of fixing my old bike and it was interfering with my pacing so I went and bought a new one. Best thing I have done for myself in quite a while. I started off at about 3...

    Front sight install

    How do you insure that a new front sight ramp such as a NECG will have the same contour as the barrel? There is not a radius or measurement given. How do you know the concave part on the bottom of the sight will fit the convex barrel without a gap? Do you lap the sight? Lap it anyway...

    Finding a small scope...

    It seems that every rifle scope I see has a huge bell on one end and about 24 different power settings on the other. Is there anywhere to find a "no frills" straight, 1" tube, 4x or so scope for a reasonable price? ($100-200 or less) I have a ruger m77 30-06 lightweight, all weather that...

    What gun for Japanese Beetles?

    I was having serious thoughts about loading up with birdshot this morning. My strawberries and fruit trees are really hurting. I have bagobugs in the neighbors yard, they are making a dent but the onslaught is huge. I have resorted to hand picking them and putting them in a clear bottle to...

    45-70 powder

    What is the most versatile or "old reliable" powder for the 45-70. I have mostly marlin lever action rifles, shoot the 1895 the most. What would give the widest range of bullet weights and load choices? I know this is a broad question, but if you were going to buy a large lot of powder...

    Are these worth anything special?

    I have four of these 20 Colt Magazines, I was wondering if they may warrant any kind of premium for what they are. They are all in this condition, perfect except for normal finish wear. They have the metal followers and Colt floorplate as pictured. Thanks for your help.
