Aurora, CO had them for more than a few years but there was an item on last year's ballot to remove them. It passed by almost 2:1. I was supposed to be effective Jan 1 of this year but they had them shut off by the end of November and most of the lights and cameras had been removed early this year.

Do what the Dr. tells you that you can do. If he/she says no shooting then don't even think about shooting until he/she gives you the go ahead. I had a cataract removed about a year ago with following PCO laser surgery. Don't know if this is what you had or not. But in reading up on what I had done ...

I see that you have been to the "sight in day" at the local range.

The January 2015 issue of the American Rifleman has a write-up on it on page 90.

When you are at the thrift store looking at pots for smelting look for cast iron or stainless steel. Aluminum gets weak when they are hot especially if there is a mechanical load on it. If it decides to let go you could easily have 20 pounds, probably a lot more, of molten lead going all over. That ...

A gunsmith bud of mine tells me those 1960-70's Winchesters have their barrels screwed on really tight. It's easy to bend the sintered metal receiver so be careful. Turning it in? Good luck.---6 Some are pretty tight. Depreacher, Welcome to the fire. You are on the right track with the 1" x 2&...

I've been using full lens readers for years with open sighted handguns although more recently I have had to add a 5/64" diopter on them to sharpen up the 50 yard targets. I have gradually been installing aperture sights on my rifles and now I don't have any with the notch type rear sight. A few...

Since that is a flat nosed bullet, you can probably just use a piece of quarter inch rod with the end filed flat as a top punch.

Leave enough clearance between the back of the upper barrel slot and the wall or upper mounting board you are mounting it on to accomodate the largest sight on your rifles. If you leave just enough room to handle iron sights and then decide to display a rifle with a scope you will need to build stan...

My understanding is that the National Match M14s were built with receivers that could not accept the full auto parts. Thus, since they were semi-auto only and never had the selector switch for full auto, they could be owned without the class III license. My gun club had 6 of these that were on loan ...

In the book mentioned above, look at the section on magazine tuning as well as the section on opening up the feed ramp. I have also found that leaving about .030 of the wadcutter ahead of the case mouth helps. The other thing I have done is to install Pachmeyer followers in all of my magazines.

If your tortillas come out two thick, just use shims made from soda pop carton cardboard until you get the thickness you need. Then you can adjust the hinges to give that thickness. On mine I found that the amount of slop in the hinges was enough to give me a good thin tortilla.

That is a nice looking press. I've found that you have to get them both flat and thin. The thinner the better. I made a press from pieces of 1x10 lumber based on pictures that I found on the 'net. It works fine but doesn't look near as nice as the one above. You just flatten them with the press. Whe...

I've got two straights that were purchased several years ago. It took me a little while to learn how to use them and care for them. Now I use one or the other almost every day. It takes more time than using either an electric or a disposable razor but the straight makes for a much more enjoyable sha...

When I used a rolling pin or a dowel to roll them out they looked like either Texas or California -- I couldn't get them round. I finally made a press out of a leftover 2x12 board I had. There are plenty of plans on the 'net and even videos of how to make a press. I use a cut up Zip-loc bag so they ...

I asked the grillmeister who does his thing at our Regional Matches how he fixes his. He said that he boils the brats in beer and onions for45 minutes at home. Then at the matches he grills them on a gas grill. Betcha can't eat just one. The toppings include grated onion, cheese, pickles, relish, ca...

A friend of mine made his barrel vise jaws by drilling an oversize hole in the wood block, centering the barrel in it, then filling the space around the barrel with bedding compound. After the compound had set up he removed the barrel and cut the block in two. This gave him a set of jaws that were c...

Especially with the possible tie to the Olympics this might be a job for the History Detectives.

At least you could see if they would be interested.

If a post sight will work for you look at the Marbles Sourdough sight. Get the tallest one, install it and start filing it down. It is plenty wide so you can narrow it if you want to. Brownells also has a Marlin front sight that is .385 from the top of the dovetail to the top of the sight. Your choi...

I guess I need some education as to how a police agency would link your e-mail address to either your car registration, car license plate, or your drivers license. I just renewed my drivers license and didn't have to give an e-mail address. We have to send in the renewal form with a check to get our...

The hardware store didn't have the .035 wall tubing, but the hobby store had tubing with a .049 wall. I got some and opened up 1" with a 7/64 drill for the cable and then used a 9/64 drill to open up 1/2 inch of that for the part that is tapped. After tapping it, I cut off the 1" piece, cl...

The Lyman numbers are: 7349003 for the 30S 7349002 for the 30L 7343006 for the 31S 7349005 for the 31L. If you have an M die and just need a plug, Lyman sells them as parts for $4.00. If you have the long die body and need the long stem (plug holder) to use with a case shorter than about 2 inches, L...

I too am just now starting to cast for rifle calibers and have chosen to start with the 30-30. Lyman catalogs a number of M dies. They generally use either the short M1 body which is about 2.88 inches long or the long M2 body which is about 3.35 inches long. For 30 caliber, you can get the 30R plug ...

Always remember that while dogs have masters, cats have staff.

Go to the Library and check out Leonard Lee's book on sharpening. It goes into all types of sharpening in more detail than you could imagine. Many excellent photographs and drawings if the sharpening procedures. He makes a very good case for the water stones as well as silicon carbide paper on glass...

Because of their ability to make fine adjustments, I would put receiver sights and scopes in a different category than the rifles and shooters using only ramp adjustable rear sights. For a fun type shoot use paper plates as targets. Three points for hitting the flat part of the plate and one for hit...

I have the Acu'rzr for .222/.223. Is the one for .224/.225 available separately without the rods? If so, what is the cost of that part only?

I HAVE A FEW LEFT... $40 POSTPAID.... BEST I CAN DO... THAT'S ABOUT THE COST OF THE BRASS AND LABOR... PACO

A friend of mine is an electrical engineer. His wife has a term for the 95% of the population who are not engineers. She calls them "real people".

Toilet paper, kids clothes, an electric generator and extension cords.

I've had progressives for about 20 years now and wouldn't even think about using regular trifocals. They work great for me for normal everyday activities--but you were asking about shooting. I have no problems with using them with scopes, red dots, or aperture sights anywhere from 10 to 200 yards. I...

When I work as a RSO I use a pair of the electronic muffs. When shooting outdoors or indoors with a 22 rimfire I use a pair of 29dB muffs. Indoors with centerfire I add a pair of the disposable non-foam plugs under those muffs. After shooting, I put the high powered (well over 50dB of increase) BTE ...

Does the earnest money go directly to the seller? IIRC the last time I bought a house (quite a few years ago) my earnest money went into an escrow account and the seller could only get it if I backed out of the deal. A friend of mine bought a house where the previous deal had gone sour. When he foun...
