Mr. Keenan: Thanks for your indepth reply to the original question. My comments regarding the number of shots i stated, is from many years of talking with barrel makers, benchrest shooters, & gunsmiths. Each of the possible variables you stated cannot be underestimated. Atta-boy jim !!!!!!

Mr. Eagle: You are most welcome sir !!! The vibratory cleaner & walnut media will clean & polish the cases somewhat. However, when you dump out the walnut & replace it with treated corncob media, the brass cases will look like 24k gold after a few hours !!!!! The home-brew "sonic cleaner"...

In terms of $$$$ it is not of any great value, but if it is safe to shoot, works reliably, & it satisfies whatever you need it to do, then shoot, maintain properly, & enjoy for the remainder of your life and then pass it along before you pass away.

Mr. Dawg Remington officially declared this rifle species as "obsolete & no new parts being made"----several gun stores in the houston area have this clearly posted at the entrance to the 'smithing shop. They were & are still very difficult to work on for the average shooter, thus people...

Mr. Jester: Your comment regarding my use of liquid carnuba auto wax on firearms, was your intent an "atta-boy" or a "i can't believe someone would say something that stupid on this website" because i can assume either. If that is a "dis" directed at what i said, then you are in direct...

Mr. Truth: The problem is not with the magazines, but with the "spring follower"---followers are cheap compared to the price of new magazines. Brownells & gil hebard guns sells them in steel & plastic.

Yo kenneth !!!!! One of the main reasons i like the "homedics" massager, is that the intensity of the vibrations is adjustable from mild to wild !!!! The one gallon size plastic pickle jars & the square containers that "claussen pickles" are packaged have worked well for me. They have a...

Gun safe About 20 years ago, a deputy sheriff passed away in my home town. A buddy of mine went to the estate sale & bought a big "fort knox" & a big "treadlock" for $500 each. I bought the treadlock & "yukkk" the officer's little poodle & schnauzer has peed repeatedly on the front door. I took...
