I didn't think those letters meant anything but my android still shows them. Whatever it's no big deal as they scroll away. No one has said it yet but thanks to you and the other moderators who keep this site going ! Your welcome, I help our ANY pro-firearm related site that asks for help, the list...

Does the PHPBB mean something? I do like the yellow colors showing recent topics. Shouldn't be there anymore they had a separate logo for a phone. phpbb is the software of this forum and the theme's never tell you which because someone well I guess it could be a security key. Anyhow we using the la...

This is how it looks on my phone ?Screenshot_20200510-115703_Samsung Internet.jpg

Well stuff people used phones, just fixed that.

I'm just going to toss another at you.
This one works all the same with the scrolling top etc.
I can only get so close to nothing changed

ok, I got another I had starting fixing before but this one seemed easier, I'll go back for a bit.

oh.... now I get it because the header doesn't scroll away. I kind of think it's a bit big myself, if we has a consensus on making it 1/2 of the height it is now would the non-scrolling banner work, or I'll go look for another theme that doesn't do that. There's a whole lot of them out there but fin...

Please reduce the banner at the top of the new screen so I can use more than 40% of my lower screen! Let stick with the new look thread I do want to help you. I didn't "force" all users yet, when I do I know I can flip certain users back to a old theme. If the author of the original theme...

Not to me! The header at the top takes up over half of my computer screen! I can hardly see the list of thread topics working with half a computer screen! Can we somehow reduce the header??? Please help me understand, I have two tabs in the same browser with each template displaying. I know this so...

And the links up top are back.

Well I got ZERO volunteers to try, so I'm flipping it and will watch if anyone screams.

It's cool are you making a version 1.1?
Little knobs on the big roller between the frot wheel and sides but the dog is a teeter and he rocks back and forth.
How IDK but I bet you could do it!

That looks like a Remington 1858, good taste!

There's a box at the bottom of each page just below "Post Reply" that says "Return to General Discussion". I just click it and it takes me back no problem. Very true, I noticed that but we all are people of habit and it's broke ;) The other problem is really a lot more of a prob...

I like it but I don't want people to jump up and down, can I have a few victims? I want to change your "style" theme to a new one, the old is not compatible with the newer version of the software we had to upgrade to. They haven't made and compatible upgrade and I have to twiddle with it a...

Interesting. Early in my career with USDA, I was in a field office in a small port town on Lake Michigan. Also located there was avery active USACOE Project Office.

No problem, see any problems yell.
Only thing I think there could be a problem with is the "style" and I'd just have to rebuild a new one but I hope not it's PITA.

Done.

I don't collect Colts I'm a Remington guy but... I had a 4 digit (civilian) model 1873 (excellent condition) that was shipped to prussia in a lot of 50 and returned because they were 44 S&W and not 44 Russian. They recut the cylinder (oval to rectangle) and shipped it out as new 18 years later, ...

There was an original Engraved Colt Paterson in excellent condition in Vegas around 20 years ago, he told me to pick it up when I was eyeballing it.
Price $319,000.-

More people shot and killed in Chicago so far this month than the virus has killed in the state.

I really need to upgrade the software soon, I'm busy I'm considered one of those critical guys so I'm working but if it just goes away with little notice (none) it's me.

Well you know how us "runners" do it, nothing more environmentally friendly unless you pick and eat it, well then again it comes out eventually.

Probably some of you guys are LE. My uncle was a state guy. He told me one time that in his training he’d learned that the instinctive shooter, maybe even one that had never even fired a handgun before, was the most likely to make a lethal shot. Makes sense that you guys practice instinctive. If I ...

You mean someone else likes weird 22's

Short distance and in a hurry, I don't use sights. If the range lets you, practice picking up the gun and shooting center mass on a torso type target fast at 7 yards. You may be surprised at how muscle memory can keep you on target pretty well. Do not expect to be winning any IPSC matches, but you ...

That's a nice carry, who uses sights on a carry gun?

I'm a hammer guy or I'd have one already, I'd like them to put that magazine into a compact P225.

I'm not a big reloader only black powder 45's but when I made my office into a gun room I lowered one of my file cabinets under the top (I have a complete cubical office from a defunct business) and I mounted my reloader on a 2x12 so I could slip it in the opening to use and put it away in the close...

patiently waiting..... there has been quite a lot of negative said about the sight, mostly from keyboard commandos who have never even held one but I am impressed by the thought put into it..... there is not much "new under the sun" as the unimpressed, depressed, wise old king says...... ...

This is interesting to me. In 1980 I read a magazine article about J.D.’s SSK Contender barrels. I contacted him, and wound up going to his home to pick up a 14” bbl’d Contender in his .375JDJ caliber. Iron sights. LOVED IT. Worked up some great shooting loads and a year later took it to Africa for...

SSK -- J.D. Jones' company -- is now owned by Lehigh Defense, and among their new projects is to re-create the original Thompson/Center Contender frame using better steel and CNC precision machining. Delivery will begin in May. I have had a number of Contenders and barrel sets over the years, and h...

Looking forward to a range report. I concur..... That newfangled sight is intriguing ! I just don't give top priority to sights on a carry gun. I want to bounce the center of the silhouette around at 30 feet without considering the sight. If I"m more than 30 feet away I'm heading left if I can...

I always like this one for beer math.

Unless that particular bullet is lubed with a black powder appropriate lube, you're going to have some fouling issues. If it's lubed with a petroleum based lube, your fouling will be very hard and accuracy will suffer quickly. Yes, 2F will likely provide better accuracy with its slower push, 3F wil...

Thanks, I'll try that. I signed up for the "Do Not Call Registry", but that doesn't stop anything. My wife got a phone paid for by the gov't (department?) and it has a nice screen that has captioning. Since I rarely get calls I just ignore the phone, but wife just glances at the captionin...

I didn't see anything obvious laying around on the system the other gif as also zero bytes.

Would color be better?

If the Lightning rifles are like the pistol actions, run away, they are a !@(#*&ASD to fix. i.e. not me.

My WAG is that they were developed for the military. As we all know,great advances in fire arms technology was during times of war. I am not a historian and most of my knowledge about lever guns is just amateur/in passing, but I believe the lever gun was developed during the Civil War, starting wit...

Back they it was hard to live if you purchases something it's because you needed it. This is why 1899 and before or typically well used and you can find some firearms that ended up in a bad caliber in much different condition then others. Including some say in 32 extra short that are often found in ...
