The inside info I have is on those receiving state benefits to attend gunsmithing programs at colleges. I have no reason to believe that any other program that is involved with the state (any state) will not be just as wasteful of others' money. There are two classes of people: Those who create...

"You couldn't be more wrong, The idea of TAOGART is to make it easier for people interested in the trade to get training, many can't afford to attend school out of state and the apprenticeship program helps get them tools and training through state and federal programs." That may be their reason...

The SAAMI 45,000 psi max limit is based on testing and experience. You might get away with pushing it, but is your face and the safety of those aroung you worth it? I am currently building a 96 Swede. It's gonna be a .250 Savage (SAAMI specs 45k max) on a Mannlicher stock, with a butterknife...

I use a GB offset broadaxe for timber-framing. They are functional works of art. I'd not part with it.

Treo says: "How many different ways can the MODS say "This issue will not be discussed on this board" before you realize that what they really mean is "This issue will not be discussed on this board" ? I'm mean I really don't get it Do the rules not apply to you?" Truthfully, I've not seen...

There is a legal dispute over the ownership of this site. Do a Google search: "oleg volk thehighroad" P.S. To anyone responding to this thread. Please be polite and call no names. The last thread on this was closed because some folks took the low road.

I figured the legal forum to be the place for this, so here goes: Anyone interested in assisting Oleg in his legal effort to reclaim his/this forum may contribute at the following PayPal address: [email protected]. If you are PayPal averse then you can send a check to him at: Oleg Volk...

Drama class Lone Star, I have to agree with you on the issue of "the other forum." Having been a member of both forums for at least a couple of years, I have seen no more ignorance displayed on one forum than the other. Also, I must say that the fingerpointing, us versus them types do remind...

Hello, and let me throw my two cents in. I have a 1942 "Tactics and Technique of Infantry, Advanced" that states each squad has in addition to the other nine men "an automatic rifleman with a BAR M1918A2; an assistant automatic rifleman and an ammunition bearer, armed with carbines". I hope this...

Hey Mtnbkr, I do believe that you have cast the proverbial iridescent, accreted particulate irritants before the porcinus. Or to put it another way: You may lead an equine quadruped to a body of the known specific gravity, but you may not forcefully induce him to partake thereof.

Wow, was that a pin dropping?

I have it, I wear it. I love it, they hate it. It is a quality T-shirt and has worn well for the last 1.5 years.

I'm not the only one! I was starting to think that I needed therapy because all I have taken to the range for the last 6 months are wheelguns. The P229 has been relegated to briefcase duty while the models 520, 19, and the Colt Python have been range regulars. Even my wife, who lusted for...

Q: What is the use of handguns? A: Ask my niece, who is currently being stalked by her 225lb. violent, mouth breathing ex-boyfriend.

I use my Simplicity riding lawn tractor with the four foot deck. That sucker (literally) will pick up most of the brass, shotgun shells and a good amount of the broken clay pigeons. Yeah, such use tends to wear the blades out pretty quickly, but blades will take a new edge and the time saved is...

I was hoping that someone out there could help a poor soul who is without a pricing guide. I have a shot at buying an early Model 25 in 25-20. It grades at about 80%. Missing the rear sight, but has an old tang sight (Marbles?). It has the really curved butt with the brass plate. I want to give...

I do not know about Augusta, but if you can get mobile you can come shooting with my family and I at our local range, which is about an hour from Augusta. In fact, I cordially invite you and the ammunition is on us. Heck, I will come and get you if you need a ride. We can cook some deer on the...

Mike, I know what you mean. I had a trusted and knowledgable friends' handloaded .454 round blow up while I was shooting. Scared me half to death, but it did not hurt his Ruger. I swear you could use those things as hammers, but you really should not! I had crud crusted on my forearms after the...

Taurus PT-22 for the kids. Their assessment was that it was doo-doo, and I agreed. I have never owned a worse firearm. The little Brazilian nightmare was replaced by a Walther P-22 and we are all the better for it. We went from continuous FTF to never FTF. We now subscribe to the don't buy...

Mk 38, 25mm chain gun (naval deck mount), or the mk19 40mm grenade spitting machine (also deck mounted). The m-14 ranks close to the aforementioned noisetoys. For civilian guns I would have to go with the first gun I ever owned, a Savage model 24 in .222 over and 20 ga under. No finer gun...
