    Help!! Rear Sight socket head screws

    This ^ Use blue or purple NOT red. In very generic terms. Purple (222) is for small machine screws - removable. Blue (242) for large machine screws and bolts - removable Red (262) for things you do not want to ever take apart - only removable with heat Green (?) permanent stud and bearing mount

    Hot barrel?

    I have way too much experience with this. As Contender mentioned IHMSA shooters don't have the luxury of time. I had a very early KS411N (Stainless Bull BBL 44 SBH) Early enough that I expected a tapered BBL not the new bull. It arrived in the fall. I shot really well that fall. 35-38 at every...

    10/22 Take Down Scope Zero

    OK I am not familiar with the 10/22 TD. That makes the question where does it take down? Does the bbl and scope stay together or do they separate? As my mind slowly wakes up I'm guessing the scope stays on the receiver the same as a non TD mounts. If that's the case you will probably lose zero...

    BONK!

    I cannot imagine how much that hurt. I’ve seen a train moving slower than that barely hit about 8” of bumper on a truck and throw it 50’

    .22 handgun accuracy...

    I shot a Single Six in silhouette. 3.5" at 25 yards means I'd have never hit a ram. That'd be rough to keep INT status.

    .22 handgun accuracy...

    You violated the rule of magazine articles. Or the author did. Distance and group size are supposed to be pages apart. Example. First page - "In our testing this little super gun shot great groups of 3.5 inches." Last page of the article in the weird single paragraph closing. "At our...

    Run up the bidding

    Ok I looked at it. here is the order and what happened. Also, you can't bump the bid if you are on top. It only ups your auto bid. This is the chronological order. Edit- I'm going to add $ to make it clearer Starting bid that shows publicly on screen is $5 lot 45 Auto bid x...

    Run up the bidding

    A couple thoughts. Is the time stamp the same? The other may have kept bidding and underbid due to the original auto bid bumping to meet his attempts to bid. I have on occasion bumped my auto bid after second thoughts on the original bid.

    How much sunlight does Anchorage get?

    I celebrated the 4th of July in Circle back in 1969. Being a kid it was awesome to still have sunlight at 11;30 pm.
