    Keeping dies tight..

    I use the lead shot under the set screw. I have a couple of die sets that have been set for 40 years and the lock rings have never moved.

    My brick of Super Colibri has the "no rifle" warning on the box.

    Aguila Colibri primer powered 22 ammo

    I regularly shoot the Super Colibri out of an old Mossberg bolt action with a 28" barrel with no issues. Great for getting the squirrels that have figured out how to get to the bird feeder. I have not tried feeding from the magazine. Past 10-12 yards no better than a slingshot.

    You are lucky. Our Bass Pro had 2 1lb containers yesterday and they were shotgun powders.

    Neat find today! Remington 600

    I have a Mohawk in .308. The older I get the more I like the lack of weight. It was one of the last produced. '78 or '79, I forget. It did not come with a rib.

    Securing 870 Express barrel on Wingmaster

    Yep. The wave washers were designed for this and work well for me. Regardless that it says 1100, it works just fine on an 870. http://www.brownells.com/search/index.htm?s_o=CalculatedDollarsSold%20%28Descending%29&k=wave+washer&ksubmit=y

    Ruger .44 carbine (Deerslayer) Should I?

    Down in these parts if one shows up for sale it lasts about an hour at most. They bring $500-$600 all the time. I had one of the original models that I bought used around 1973. Stovepiped every other round. Sent to Ruger and they overhauled it for no charge. After that it was totally...

    Rifle Stock Blow Torch Tiger Stripes [Picture Heavy!]

    LOL I have to agree with the spray paint thing. It would be fine but he burned the crap out of the wood in several places. These are just some old insurance pictures and they don't show the worst of it. I'm not even a synthetic guy but this was over the top. I may start trying to refinish...

    Rifle Stock Blow Torch Tiger Stripes [Picture Heavy!]

    Years ago I bought a Rem. 788 from an old boy that was getting married and needed money. He free handed it with a propane torch. Charred the wood in some places. I was embarrassed that someone would think that I was the one that hacked it. I bought a synthetic stock for it as soon as I could.

    Intresting observation about 25-06

    In 1971 the USAF transferred me from my home in Alabama to Montana. I found out really quick that my Marlin 336C in .35 Remington was not a plains and prairie gun. I put a Remington 700 BDL .25-06 on layaway and had it paid out in just a few months. Then I bought an RCBS Rockchucker and...

    Cataract surgery results

    Same here but the doctor in Bradenton charged me $3000 extra for the multi-focal. I'm 62 and don't need glasses for anything. Same for my wife. No glasses at all with the multi-focal lenses.

    Help with cataract surgery

    I am a 22 month veteran of Restor lenses and I have clear vision at any distance. I don't need glasses to read, to see the computer, and I can see the front sights on rifles and pistols...

    Any Nikon Slughunter Owners?

    I think you did just right. I have the 1.65 X 5 and really like it. IMHO most folks are over-scoped, at least for woods hunting.
