    Can anyone tell me what I have here - old bolt action ID?

    Wow thanks that was fast. Serial number dates it to January 1918. Needs a new pad and the barrel crowned (has some big gouges). But the bore looks good. Blueing is good, no rust. Bolt cycles well, but is a little stiff, even after some oil.

    Can anyone tell me what I have here - old bolt action ID?

    Can anyone ID this rifle? It appears to be a sporterized military rifle, but I'm not sure what kind. Only other markings (without taking scope/stock off) are E's on the bolt, bolt release, and safety, and I can see the top of what looks like "EYO" in script on the L side of the reciever. Scope...

    Tinnitus remedy

    Don't forget. The placebo effect is real. Which is to say that a placebo doesn't create an imagined benefit, it produces a real benefit. Still a placebo though.

    Tinnitus remedy

    Well, muffling your ears makes the head taps sound louder, which helps with the masking effect. And the more elaborate the procedure, the more likely suggestible people will think it works... But don't mind me, I'm just an ear doctor.

    Tinnitus remedy

    This may give temporary relief because it is distracting. Focusing on your tinnitus makes it louder. Listening to something else makes it quieter. Masking is the best way to deal with tinnitus. There is nothing magic about tapping your head...

    Open Carry Segment on "The Daily Show"

    This thread just goes to prove that people hear/see what they want to. If you thought it was pro-gun, or even balanced, you didn't get it. Was it funny? Yes. Did it outright mock and ridicule the open-carriers? Yes.

    What is your personal favorite Ammo for a 22lr?

    Federal bulk for plinking. (probably 90% of total rounds I shoot) Lapua Master M for ego-building tiny groups at the range. CCI segmented subsonics (quick shock) for exploding squirrels without making much noise.

    Gun goes to a Gunsmith... you find it was used and dirty

    Um, how about talking to the guy? Ask him how much he shot it and why. You know, communication.

    how to deal with gunshot wound

    Just to add to the above debated- it is indeed true, we tourniquet limbs in the OR all the time. We monitor tourniquet-up time very closely, but times over 2 hours are not out of the realm of safety. However, threat of thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism are just as great as threat the the...
