+1 on the .22. I found my wife made the transition from my .22 to my .38 & later to my .357 Mag. easily after becoming very comfortable with the smaller caliber before moving up. However, every individual is different. My brother is still uncomfortable with a .44 Spec., yet he has shot...

IIRC, the speed of sound varies with altitude due to atmospheric density, and sound is dependent on an atmosphere to transmit the pressure waves/vibrations. Without an atmosphere outside of the cartridge/barrel/combustion chamber, does this limitation still apply? I mean, because sound cannot...

Wow! This has been so obvious for so many years but noone will say it! If only politicians would/could see what it is they have created! Azidiot

Mine, too. Except, for me, the financial situation will not permit me to retire. If only my work could be so fullfilling and satisfying, I would not wish to retire. As it is, there is too much frustration and agrivation and too little satisfaction. I'll just keep my head down, though, and...

Gearhead-1: I have used it on a number of weapons, mostly rifles. In my experience, it works quite well. Definitly make bore cleaning easier (with proper precaution!) and things work smoother with much less oil. However, in each of them, and especially the smaller bores (.224, .243...

:D Apparently, arrogant condescention overrules sarcasm and irony. :neener::neener: Please! Get a grip, Pax! :) Life isn't 100% serious! :D Cut 'em some slack, would ya'? Azidiot PS: None of us are getting out of this life alive. :D :D :D

He did a pretty good tough guy in "Serpico", too. Azidiot

I did nearly the same thing trying to remove the screw from an old faucet washer stem clamped into a vise. I remember thinking "If this thing slips...." Yup. Sure did. The Phillips screwdriver went clear through the fat part of my thumb quicker than.... well, you know. It came out twice as...

Done.

Jim Keenan, Thank you for the information. It is very helpful. To help satisfy your curiosity: This particular shotgun was my grandfather's. My dad inherited it in 1963 when his father passed away. I inherited it in 1995 when my dad thought it needed a new home. At the time the...

I have a M40 that had a malfunction loading from the magazine which detonated a shell with the bolt half open. The bolt is broken and some small parts damaged. It has been suggested the Model 40 was subject to a recall in the 40's or 50's. Does anyone have such information? Where would I...

Thanks, guys! This what I needed to know. I think I have a chance to turn this Bubba-ed one into something functional and less offensive. Right now, it's pretty tough looking. Thanks again! Azidiot

Jim, Thanks for the tip. Any idea how the '93 / '94 compares with the '96? I can find all kinds of references for the '96 "small ring" Mauser, but nothing so far for the '94. Thanks again, Azidiot

I had a Brazilian Mauser (1894) that has been worked over hard by Bubba given to me. Bubba did a half decent blue job and rebarreled it with a sporter barrel, but the stock work(?) would make a wood butcher cry. I would like to put it in a synthetic stock, however, I am not finding any after...

Poper, Great story! Please have a 'shot' with your dad for all of us next year. Thank you. Azidiot

Waddison: THAT'S AWESOME! I hope the same may be done for me! Azidiot

In the two attached photos, there are seven antlerless carcasses in the truck bed. At the time, though we had hunted 1-1/2 days, we still needed 3 deer to tag-out. 24 hours later, we had two more antlerless and one 3x4 Mule Deer buck which filled all ten tags (two per person). Due to lack...

Bartkowski, I have a pic of deer in the truck, but it is too big for the attachment limits. I will try to reduce the size and re-attempt attaching again. Actually, the 334 yard shot was not all that difficult. I had time to sit and get my breathing under control. Shot was taken at my...

I had 1 Wyoming tag and two antlerless SD deertags this year. Filled all three. Shot a small whitetail buck at 128 yards in the Wyoming side of the Black Hills and two antlerless plains mulies in South Dakota. Lots and lots of walking! A very long drag in Wy. Ufda! Long shots in SD. Deer...
