Hello, folks, Not gun related, but I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm trying to help a friend put a compressor in a garage that has three-phase electrical power. I'm pretty good at residential wiring, and understand the basic concept of three-phase power supply, but I am no three-phase expert ...

Yes, I prefer manuals, especially in snow and ice. Much more control. And I still prefer manual hubs and shifter on my four-wheel-drives. 2008 Ford Ranger 5-speed (my daily driver) 2011 Jeep Patriot 5-speed (wife's daily driver) 2003 F250 Superduty 7.3 Diesel (camping, towing, hauling truck) It's in...

Brownells came to mind as soon as I read the first couple sentences of your post. I have had very good luck with them, as others have already attested to.

Thom is a fascinating author who does a lot of research before writing his "fictionalized history" novels. I think he holds as true as he can with the facts while filling in the unknown gaps as it "could have happened" to bring history to life in a form we can appreciate rather t...

Yes, there will be some small amount of air trapped in that line. Not desirable but almost impossible to avoid without bleeding under pressure. The good news is that air is compressible and will "equalize" to the pressure of the fluid, so the gauge will read accurately nevertheless. Good l...

Great news, glad you got it to work out!

Is your barrel a replacement or a shortened factory barrel? I think most of the recent Marlin factory 1895s are 1:20 twist, some may even be 1:22 but I am not sure. I am afraid it is going to be tough to stabilize a 500-grain bullet at subsonic muzzle velocity with a twist less than 1:18 or even 1:1...

Prayers, sir, for him and you/your family. Teenage kids are tough at times, to put it lightly.

I switched my few "online" pictures to JPGbox too after tinkering with it for a little bit. Here's an attaempt:

Thank y'all for the tip!

Woodtroll

had I been in the situation that he introduced himself into; especially if the focus of his attention; immediate and intense gunfire would 've resulted. I've no use for those that presume they have the right to impose themselves in the manner that he did several times. I'd be curious as to which in...

I do enjoy the books very much, but am a fan of wry and dry humor. I like the show too, but you just can't take it too literally. Wonder when the last season will show up on Netflix?

Woodtroll

I have no recent experience, but the man who used to run the company (John Schoffstall) lied to me repeatedly about my rifle and cheated me out of money by raising the final price which had been paid in full FIVE YEARS prior to delivery (after he promised a one-year delivery). If he is still in char...

Woodtroll

Thanks, everyone, for your help with the scope mount questions! I really appreciate you taking the time to educate me.

Take care,
Regan

Woodtroll

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: JWM, how did you achieve the "scout scope" mount on your rifle? I have a pre-ban Springfield M1A that I'd like to mount a scout scope on. As I'm getting older I've had to put scopes on a couple of my leverguns, and the scout scope concept solve...

Woodtroll

Thank you, sir, for taking the time to reply and to accompany it with pictures! It certainly is helpful. I cannot find the mount listed separately on the Springfield site; I guess it would require the new handguard along with it as well. I'll do some more digging when I have some spare time. Thanks ...

Woodtroll

What type of mount did you use to get the scope into the "Scout" position, please?

Woodtroll

Wonder if the wood has absorbed any of the salt from the original contents? Might pay to keep a close eye on anything metallic stored inside for a while.

That being said, neat find!

Woodtroll

Prayers for a good outcome and speedy recovery!

Isn't it great that most dogs and many women share that same trait?

I really enjoy reading about Drifter's progress - thanks for sharing!

Prayers up, Mr. Quinn, for a quick and complete recovery. I sure have learned a lot from your tests and write-ups over the years.

Woodtroll

Very glad to see he is doing well! There is no gratitude like that you receive from an animal you treat well. This is my favorite thread on here right now.

Woodtroll

Thanks for the giveaway, Old No7! Very fitting that this went to a naval veteran. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Woodtroll

I'm interested too, please count me in. Thanks for the opportunity!

Woodtroll

You both will be on my nightly prayer list, Bill. It seems to me that it would be tougher to watch a loved one go through that than to deal with it myself. God's blessings to y'all.

Woodtroll

Thank you, friends, for all the input. I will take a close look at the Wiha tools, as it looks like the Swiss watchmaker's screwdrivers are a little out of my class (in price and ability)! :wink: Will probably pick up the Kobalt set too just out of curiosity, since it is inexpensive but recommended....

Woodtroll

Hello, friends, Like the topic says, I find myself in need of miniature screwdrivers more and more often, and sometimes the $3.99-a-set Harbor Freight ones make it hard to do precision work. Where would I find a decent set that would not chew up the screws I am working on? I don't need an extensive ...

What a great surprise to see Mr. Brad O'Connor on here! Thank you for taking the time to visit with us! The very first book I ever bought with my own saved-up money was Jack O'Connor's Complete Book Of Rifles and Shotguns . I would have been about 10 or 11 years old, I think, at the time. I still th...

I'm pretty sure that fox is a variant of the red known as a "cross fox". At one time their pelts were highly prized. I've only been able to make it to Alaska twice, but have loved every minute of it. I sure do enjoy your photos; they really do convey a "sense of place". I know th...

Continuing to pray for God's grace and blessings on your whole family!

Woodtroll

Done sir, God's grace for all of you.

Woodtroll

They don't list them on their site that I can find, but I would send a picture or two to Crosscut Saw Co. in Seneca Falls, NY: http://www.crosscutsaw.com/ I'll bet they can point you in the right direction, and may even be able to identify the blade. Plus, they have lots of really neat saw stuff to ...

Woodtroll

Done! Best of luck to you.

Prayers up for you and your family.

Woodtroll

We will keep Daily and all your family in our prayers. Our dogs, too, are part of our family, and we certainly sympathize with what you are going through.

Woodtroll

It makes me sick to think of all the diseases, pathogens, and pests we have imported from Asia and similar countries! For one thing, if we would learn to leave well enough alone, we would still have chestnuts, hemlocks, and Fraser firs in our forests, but we would NOT have these hideous Asian stinkb...

Woodtroll

Praying for the best possible outcome for all of you!

Woodtroll

Sounds like a great guy who actually got to "live"! Prayers up.

Woodtroll

Prayers for everyone involved. God bless!

Woodtroll

Will do, sir. God bless you and your family as you face these trials.

Woodtroll

Thanks, everyone, for all your help. There is a lot of very useful information here that we will try to absorb and use for our planning. Thanks also for those who took the time to offer messages and phone calls for individual discussions- I really do appreciate that. Based on some of the things we'v...

Woodtroll

Thanks very much for the input and advice, folks, especially those who made specific suggestions. I work a 24-hour shift so I can't always get back here to reply, but I really do appreciate all of the help. The only time and place I have been in California is in a fire camp along the Big Sur in Augu...

Hello, friends, Although I live towards the east coast, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to visit the Big Sur area of California as a wildland firefighter early in my career (and that’s been YEARS ago!). I thought it was a beautiful area, although of course much different than my Blue R...

That's a nice looking rifle. I would love to have one in .22LR!

I would gladly buy any model of C. Sharps I had in my hands and could inspect for myself, if it didn't come straight from C. Sharps. I would never, NEVER order another rifle from them, EVER. They promised me a year delivery on a standard 1874; it took five years, and even though I had paid in full u...

Very glad to see that he is doing so well!

Rat traps (the kind that look just like oversized mouse traps) baited with peanut butter will take care of that problem in short order. They DO lack the penetration of the .45-70, though!

I like it, which is wierd; I am not really the target audience.

Well, I would never hold that against you. I like it too

- it IS a unique song!

Woodtroll

Steve Earle the "Scope Guy" I have the highest regards for!

Steve Earle the "Entertainer" just about the lowest. I enjoyed his early music, but his anti-gun and anti-USA political stance insure that his music is never played in my home anymore.
