Re: Rifle destroyed. Shooter safe.

I wouldn't doubt one can fit a 7mm/08 cartridge into a 25/06 chamber. Saw a guy fire a 7x57 (which is longer than a 7mm/08) in a 270 once and he would have pulled the trigger again if I wouldn't have stopped him after seeing gas escape from the action. The case looked a little strange too as there w...

Re: Vaccination Cards

My main reason for supporting a vaccination program with COVID is that I don’t see any way to stop the governor and MDH’s continued acts without it. So, am I understanding this correctly - you are promoting vaccination for political rather than medical reasons? That there are no other routes to tak...

Re: I can't find any

...t took in one sleeve each of Federal Match small pistol and standard CCI small rifle primers. N How many primers are in a sleeve? Not familiar with that term as applied to primers. And glad to hear some are hitting the shelves at least. Bitter Bastard A sleeve is 5 bricks of primers. In other wo...

Re: Rights restoration

I didn't think it was possible for someone convicted of a felony (and some lesser crimes) to have their gun rights restored except through a Presidential pardon which would only apply if a Federal crime. Has something changed lately? Minnesota and other states have provisions for the restoration of...

Re: I can't find any

Or, keep your eyes and ears open and hope you luck into some. Last Thursday the store I work at took in one sleeve each of Federal Match small pistol and standard CCI small rifle primers. Neither lasted long once they hit the shelf. It's the first small rifle primers I have seen in the store since A...

Re: 276 MAG Carlson

Give it back. It is a money pit if you can do the work yourself and a black hole if you have to job it out. It sounds like someone had a personal wildcat made up which was not uncommon at one time. One could make a cast of the chamber to get some idea on the case dimensions and where to start in reg...

Re: How's The Deer hunting Going?

Opening weekend was a bummer, the weather was too warm and all I saw were the same doe and fawn on Saturday and Sunday. They were not to be seen Monday. Grabbed lunch at the cabin each day and saw up to 7 deer in the yard midday. No antlers but that is common. Filled an antlerless tag on Thursday be...

Re: NICs denial?

The most common source of denials - not delays- that I have seen has been due to how the purchaser answered questions on the 4473. There are a couple that result in an automatic denial depending on the answer. The second most common cause for a denial was a long forgotten offense that currently excl...

Re: I want to borrow a 308 for a few shots

You aren't going to see much, if any, difference in recoil between a 270 and 308 - they are pretty comparable in that regard. There might be a slight difference when comparing 150 gr loadings but it would be fairly minute. I shoot both regularly and I have seen nothing to convince me to choose one c...

Re: Unloved Handguns

I have several that meet the various criteria. First is a Mossberg Brownie. 4 barrel, 22 LR pistol in which the firing pin rotates between the barrels rather than barrels rotate to the firing pin. I need to pick up a reproduction of the push rod/extractor which slides into a pocket between the grip ...

Re: The violence extended to the suburbs.

There was also a bank robbery where an officer was shot near BigDog with the perpetrator being killed not far in the other direction as well. Then there was about a two year stretch of muggings in Southdale itself. Plus, numerous muggings in the parking lots of Southdale, the Galleria, and other nea...

Re: Body armor demonstration

I guess the rules of gun safety don’t apply to stupid people. I disagree; I questioned the efficacy of his armor until I saw him do those demonstrations. We know that Kevlar works now, but 40 years ago the idea a material as thin as a shirt would stop a bullet was more magic than science to most pe...

Re: Firearms and physical disability

Pretty much as you are doing now- make do the best you can. I can't help any more than that as my disabilities were less debilitating and of less duration.
