Try to get some of Mel Tappans writings and books, he was the guru of the survivalist movement in the 70's and early eighties. Jimmy Carter created a lot of small businesses for people selling canned foods and such. All pretty much disappeared when Ronald Regan took office interesting times. Good Luck

Has anyone heard of these for brewing up hot liquids or tea? Seems to be an interesting item. Double walled pot, with fire pot on the bottom, chimney passing through the pot. Seems to be popular with some, claim while light they can be bulky. Been around for a number of years. Seems interesting. Jus...

Just try a high Ice Water Enima. Makes everything else seem fine.

Hope you get feeling better.

My father started losing is eye sight when he was around 92 years old due to his age, plus he had limited mobility, due to a bad knee. He managed to hang in there until he passed away at 98. He was concerned about having a proper self defense pistol. Now he taught my brother and myself to point shoo...

I remember when they tried to introduce the Darrdick, was supposed to be able to fit into carbine upper so you had the possibility of the a handgun or a rifle. When fired the tround would eject out of the right side of the cylinder. Magazine loaded from the top, pushing down on a spring until it was...

The 243 is ballistically similar to the 30-30. Of course it shoots flatter. Check out the energy each puts out kind of interesting. ATB

These were declared a destructive device due to the diameter or the rocket projectile, plus they cost a bunch to make the projectile, was made of drawn and spun hardened steel. I think the inventor was wanting to get some type of goverment contract. This was when things were getting hot in Vietnam. ...

I believe they were all a 1-16 twist. This was meant to be reloaded with lead which was very popular at the time it was introduced and for those wanting to use blackpower, not trusting the then new smokeless powders. The industry pretty much decided to stick with this set up. I THINK. good luck mayb...

Check out the Cast Boolit forum. They have done and continue off and on a run or Group Buy's of slightly oversized bullets of favorite bullets from the past. One was called "Ranch Dog" which was for a .44 bullet around 310 grains or a bit larger, supposed to run around .433 to .434 diamete...

Cliff

Only one thing I can add is when you remove the bolt, make certain the ejector which located on the left side of the action wall, doesn't fall out unnoticed and seen. They come out easily and go back in prior to reinsertion of the bolt just as easy. Good luck.

I recently purchased several M.O.L.L.E. Shoulder Shotgun Scabbards from Sportsman's Guide. They are listing them as for a shotgun, but they work very well for me on my leveractions. Price was right about $25. Not leather has all kinds of straps for carrying on pack racks, or over your shoulder. Hold...

Didn't anyone tell you the secret handshake? Are you sure you are remembering to double clutch at the proper times. How fast are you turning the crank on the wizzoo? Are you left or right handed? I am not sure of the rest of the stuff you should know, something about when to press certain buttons wh...

I have read that France bought bunches of the 351's for use in the trenches in WWI. They were very impressed with it. Don't remember the source, numbers involved or what type of ammo they used. Just a bit of trivia.

I have found the rusting is a problem. I also found that oiling the rifle after use with pyrodex it is best to use ATF. Never had a rusting problem since. But be certain to clean it as described first. ATF appears to stay and is one of the best gun oils for this use. ATB

I thought I would weigh in again on removing rust. I recall some people recommend boiling the rusted parts, if they will fit into a pot. Get the rusted parts up to the tempurature of the boiling water and leave it there a while. This loosens the rust, then after removing it from the boiling water an...

Phosphoric acid (sp) available at paint stores will remove old rust and anything else that gets in its way. Naval Jelly is very good for removing rust. The commercial rust removal products all work good. I believe they only attack ferious (STEEL OR IRON) metals as well. Just check with a paint suppl...

Finland broke away from Russia when the communist came to power. They confiscated all the arms and munitions the Russians had in Finland to arm their new army. In the Winter War they completely dismantled the captured Russian rifles, then rebuilt them in their arsenals to their standards. It is said...

The problems with the lower numbered 03's was due to improper heat treatment of the receiver steel. It used to be done by very experience persons at the arsenals by judging the color of the metal when heated. With WWI production ramped up and newer inexperience personal they found they were burning ...

I don't know how well it would work on a large surface, but toothpaste does a very good job as well. It was a trick I learned from inmates in a prison where I worked. They would clean up watch faces, sun glasses etc. Just took time which they had plenty of. Also found to polish or get a fine finish ...

Sounds like it is a new facility. Based on my experience I would say, stay away from any psch. units. Problem at my prison, the professional staff causes more headaches, offer no control and will get in your way if something goes south. Every have to pull staff off you back when you are trying to br...

I find a fondness for a Lee Enfield rifle. Can be worked over to a light weight sporter. You can find them in .303 and some from India in .308 (aka 7.62 Nato) you can cut down the magazines for five rounds. Scope mounting isn't bad. Very quick actions. I have seen some nice sporting (if you want tha...

For keeping you sling on your shoulder you might want to look at a narrow sling. In Europe many use a sling with a width of 3/4 of an inch and some even use a half inch sling. This digs into the fabric of the jacket and keeps it from slipping free. I have tried it and it does work. The big cobra sha...

I suppose if you wanted to stick with a rimfire, you could build it in a 41 remington rim fire used in the old derringers. Still plenty low powered. I will be quiet now. Good Luck.

I seem to remember when beavers were reintroduced in England everyone thought it was great until they began doing what beavers do best. Building dams. Seems they were flooding out some pretty fancy housing developements and similar areas. Gotta love them.

I have a CrossBreed cross draw for a five inch barrel. Great holster, compact and carries close out of the way.

A buddy in Gladstone, Michigan sent me a letter that states Marble Arms is making a third generation developement of the old Marble Arms Game Getter firearm. They claime they will be making parts for the original 1908 and 1921 models as well. These are a 22Lr and 410 combination gun. were outlawed w...

I am sorry to hear this. Hope he heals up okay. Growing up in a rural area such accidents were not uncommon. A lot of people I knew had had bad accidents and seemed more common back then in the 1950's. This doesn't make you or him feel any better, but hope it works out for him. Besides he can have a...

Just remember you get to go home at the end of the day. Be firm and fair in all your dealings and it works. Not a bad job. I did it for 23 years. Always leave the job when you go through the gates at the end of the work day. Contratulations.

Follow the doctor's orders. I was watching a program last night on PBS, called "A Salute to Veterans". A USAF pilot flying C-117's on a long hard schedule during operation Iragi Freedom developed a blood clot in his lower right leg due to the hours pushing him along. They wound up after tw...

I seem to remember an article in the "American Rifleman" magazine some years back concerning the 22LR. Back in the 1930's everyone was questing for the most accuracy for the 22LR. The manufacturers offered, primed unloaded brass, and a wide selection of bullets for possible use. I remember...

I remember Elmer Kieth wrote up that Marlin was going to bring their 336 out in the 300 Savage. He was excited about it. It dropped off the horizon and didn't mention it again IIRC. I think it was also mentioned in his book "Hell I was there."

Cliff

Good Looking rifle. Will be waiting to see which cast bullet load you work up in it. I have two Marlin's in 35 Remington and a Remington 600 bolt action. Haven't tried many casts yet, but thinking I will try out an older Lyman 290 grain RN GC design I happen to have. Good Luck.

I believe that Phil Sharpe in his book, "The Complete Guide to Handloading" did a very good section on headspacing. He did extensive testing concerning headspacing and it does explain a lot. He worked primarily with the 30-06 cartridge and had acess to a Browning machinegun which had a scr...

Sounds like those contractors are the same ones we use in Florida for road work. You see plenty of places they are doing widening, new roads, interchanges, etc.. Only the machinery, no workers and nobody working it. Usually takes years for some work. Only two bidders for the entire state have the ne...

It depends Nath on whether or not you are using organically made ingrediants or those nasty man-made ingrediants.

Some good answers given. Another approach would be to use onion skin paper, I think it is called 7 pound. Forms well and about the thinest paper while still tough. Use it like you would any other paper. Some people also use tape, similar to masking tape, but is called Freezer(sp?) tape used to tape ...

35 Remington was brought out in the Model 8 at the request of the Belgium maker of Browning Arms, designed by John Browning. They wanted something to compete with Mannlicher's little carbine in 9X56.

Your safest bet is to contact your local or State fire marshall's office. They have the details on how much and how it should be stored. The amount varies with the quanities same as for where it can be stored. Most places are reasonable in their demands for proper storage. The information given by t...

I have found the ClipDraw device the best way to carry my Glock-17 and Glock-21SF. I find the ClipDraw is great for carrying the 1911's as well. Low price as well. On the Glocks you need their trigger plug as well. No bulk or movement with a good trouser belt, carrys high and tight against your side...

It seems to me I have seen a holster or two advertised in Dillon's Blue Press catalog for concealed carry of a Colt single action. Didn't say anything about fitting a Ruger Blackhawk.

I used to see a few Benelli double barreled, Box locks with matching carrying case in 8 guage new for sale at several stores just outside of Chicago. This was back in the 60's but before the GCA-68.

What would be interesting is to them do an assignment to write a paper on where we or mankind would be today if there was never any violence happening anywhere in the world at any time in history.

I think J. Reed has hit the nail on the head. Back in the day I was a RTO in the Army and in extreme sandy dry soil we would put up our antenna with a spider ground wire system.

That would be a nice rifle. I did see a line drawing of a concept Gremmer built on a Remington Rolling Block action. Never heard if it done however. I think it was the book "40 years in the Hawken Load". Good Luck.

From what I have seen on the various military ships there is two helm controls. Depending on the age most have some sort of wheel as mentioned, newer one use a joy stick or roller ball. They all are linked to the internal system of electric-mechanical systems to control the rudder. If the bridge is ...

O.C. spray works by pain and blinding the assailant. I worked at a prison and had the fun of getting sprayed in training each year. As mentioned the spray or mist cone type works well, but wind can fire it back at you. A foam is great. Hard spray is good as well. I have found the tear gas sprays are...
