    Securing your land phone line.

    I hate to tell you guys this, but if you splice around the demarc (NID), you're defeating a fairly important safety feature. The NID is there not only as a demarcation point between the customer and dial tone provider, but acts as a fusing device (even though there are no fuses in the new ones)...

    turk mauser re-chamber

    Check out Kuhnhausen's book on the Mauser series rifles. The only tro I can recall is the 30-06 is longer than the 8mm and the magazine well in the Mauser needs to be enlarged to handle the additional length. Other than that, I don't think there is a problem. Jack

    Replacing powder in surplus ammo

    Results are in As promised, here's what transpired at the range (the back yard). All the rounds shot beautifully! All I could get was 50 yds. to a target but they all hit within a 5 inch circle with a couple of flyers that were probably my fault. After all, it was 20 degrees outside and...

    Replacing powder in surplus ammo

    OK guys, here's the skinny. I tumbled 50 rounds last night and pulled the bullets tonight. Out of the 50, 2 had no powder in them! The others had between 42.6 to 43.5 grains of the ball powder. I'm not going to measure any of the remainder, take too much time and I got the answers I was looking...

    Replacing powder in surplus ammo

    I've had some old West German surplus 7.62x51 NATO ammo for about 8 years. When I got it, the cardboard boxes (100 rds per box) were stained from moisture and the brass was corroded and tarnished. I've fired some with mixed results, bad accuracy, 1 squib round (got lucky and noticed it) and real...

    Moving to Wyoming!

    Fletchette - Welcome to Wyoming. You shouldn't have any problems with the gun laws (actually, the lack of). You will have to wait 6 months for a concealed carry permit. You need to take a 4 hour class, fingerprints, and a background check, takes about 2 months max after applying...

    2005 Brady Grades Are Out. What's Your Report Card Say?

    I love Wyoming; never been so proud of an F in my life. Scout26- the only training is a 4 hour class, prints, and a background check. I would think that's worth an F- at least! V4Vendetta - Those photos are beautiful, but they are the Grand Teton National Park, no firearms...

    Bill seeks to allow Wyoming hunters to carry automatic weapons

    Coming from Wyoming, here's the deal as I understand it. It is currently illegal to hunt with an automatic weapon or suppressor. In a lot of locations, the only place to shoot is in the national forest or state land. By default, if you are caught with an auto or suppressor on state or...

    If WY "VT Carry" Passes: lowest Brady.org grade ever!

    Regarding the first post. The only training for a CCW in Wyoming is a 4 hour class, lecture only. No handgun skills at all. I think this is the reason it's not honored in some states that do require range time for a CCW. To paraphrase Mel Brooks: "It's good to live in Wyoming" :)...

    SHTF Shopping

    Wife and I sat down with the 2 daughters and figured out a menu for a week we could all eat and agree on. Basic concept was one full meal a day with snacks to fill in the gaps. AFTER figuring out the menu, then we went shopping for food. It's pretty basic. Pasta, pizza (home made, not Red...

    Remington 700 Problems

    I had the same problem on my 700. Used Leupold bases and rings(medium). When the Burris scope went on, all the elevation adjustment was needed to zero. Ended up shimming .010 under the rear mount ( 2 piece bases). Don't know why but that was the fix for me. Jack

    Best SONG involving guns

    Can't believe no one has heard of "Don't forget the guns" by Cheryl Weaver. It was originally an anti gun song but it sure sounds gunny to me. Jack
