A big +1 on Moras to play with. Try looking at http://ragweedforge.com (scroll down a bit) to get a good feel for what Moras, puukos, and leukos are out. They start relatively inexpensive and go on up. They are excellent quality for the price. Another big +1 for Bark River. They have a...

Mors Kochanski, Cody Lundin, Ray Mears, Ron Hood, and of course Jon Weiseman's SAS Manual are all good resources. A couple web resources include http://www.survival.com/IVB, http://www.knifeforums.com, http://tions.net/CA256EA900408BD5/vwWWW/outdoor~03~000, and http://bushcraftuk.com...

rummage...rummage...lessee eyes, ears, spare of both for other folks, pens, pencils, first aid kit, tampons for any bullet wounds, multitools, allen wrenches, CLP, canned air, AR cleaning kit (have had to use it as squib and stuck casing remover for other folks on the line), bore snakes for...

I don't carry a purse or a man-bag. I carry a possibles bag. Concept having evolved from blackpowder shooting, where a bag was carried containing flint, powder, shot, etc. I use the concept while hiking for the quickly accessed items - binos, ID books, snack, etc. My satchel for work is...

I am not certain of the validity of this, but it's a story that warms my heart non-the-less. Some time ago, a local PD went on strike. As a result, crime went down. An ensuing expose inerviewed a criminal, asking why the apparent holiday since law enforcement officers were not in the...

hmmm, schmutz under the extractor star and the star binding. I think HankB may have a point. I was trying to think of something other than that, but no luck. My father had a Super Single Six .22 that the tolerances were tight enough that the cylinder got gummed up after a couple hundred rounds.

Folks, please don't forget the second part of the dilema. WIFF stated also that "even with the shells out the cylinder still would not turn." Unless the bashing of the extractor caused a misalignment, there may be another issue here. Thoughts?

LP is a member of one of the local Game and Fish Assocs., so he's able to take me as a guest occasionally. Otherwise, Hap Baker's or Elk Neck for rifles, a couple local and Eastern Shore places for clays, and Continental for pistol, still. It's been a while since I was able to shoot anything...

Heya, PAshooter. I changed my name a while back from Solomon Short, I started feeling silly. It was nice to run into you at the show, an unexpected surprise. LeadPumper and I decided to go to the York show, not the Frederick Show, since it's only a little further away, twice the size, and in...

Actually, Faithless, I think this goes to prove that in the land of the blind, the eyed man is NOT king. He is something, at best, to be pitied and put up with. At worst, he is to be ridiculed, droven off, or destroyed. After all, he's constantly making crazy claims that have absolutley no...

wallysparx I'd like to add to the hot ammo/brass expansion bit: CCI Blazer ammunition, being aluminum hulled, won't contract nearly as fast or as much as brass and can be a real bugger to extract, especially in full powered .357 loads. :banghead: BTW, glad to hear you enjoyed a 686. I...

Well, a good time was had by all...two of us. Leadpumper and I took care of much therapy today. Pity no one else could show. I made a sign and everything so people could find us. Oh well. Note to everyone - if you don't want to spend ALL day at the range, don't go on an October or...

Transport of arms into the state is doable if staying at a friends residence, as you'd be storing the weapon there. Further transport would be as described, back and forth to the range (don't stop for beer or a bite afterwards). Techniquely, it's doable if staying at a hotel, but I'm not too...

Sidearm...not recommended. OC...nope Knife...folder under 4", places like courthouses don't like folders that can be opened with one hand - if that's a consideration. Kershaws OK. No switchblade. Butterfly OK, single sided only. Don't know 'bout fixed blade.

Even though you were using consistent ammo, could this batch have been out of spec, or no longer "in-spec" for this weapon?
