    Fairly common to bend a Mauser/Pre-64 Winchester extractor if you're trying to do anything other than allowing it to feed from the magazine. Laying a shell on the follower without snapping it down and then trying to ram it home will bend the extractor sooner or later. The bend will happen in...

    Sharpie color a case and see where it's dragging. Polish accordingly. Might need to move the mag box lips in or out as well. You sure the extractor isn't already flexed/bent where it engages the case head?

    Bolt is rotated 180 degrees and now it's trying to fling empties down/in to the left instead of up/out to the right. - - - Updated - - - True, here's the most common culprit: The tail section of the bolt isn't seated into the recoil return spring cup. Wrong: Wrong: Right: Right:

    3. Your bolt came out of your rifle just fine, but, now it won't fully close. It'll go in past the bolt stop but stops just shy of being able to run the bolt fully forward and turn the bolt down into the firing position. What happened?

    Fair enough, however sometimes it's nice to fill a few bbl with cleaning foam then patch them out the next day. - - - Updated - - - That would indeed suck. Only 1 gun. Pfffft, that's like having only 1 fishing rod.

    2. You've taken your semi-auto shotgun apart to clean all of the dust out from early goose season. You get the barrel off, trigger group out, get things cleaned up and re-assembled but now for some reason, the bolt will not retract. It's stuck and you can't get it to cycle back. There's...

    Pretty close. Each bolt will have the last 3-4 numbers of the rifle's serial number engraved on it. It's typically on the bolt body (not the handle) towards the back end.

    Season is coming, sighting in scopes, cleaning barrels, etc is upon us. 1. You've got 2 of the same make/model bolt action rifles and you take the bolts out of both to clean, bore-sight, whatever. You get distracted by something come back to the bench and can't remember which bolt belongs in...

    Duck Opener Redemption

    Straight honey will perk up a fatigued dog more quickly that anything else I've tried assuming of course that the fatigue isn't induced by dehydration. A small squeeze bottle is enough for 4-5 "perk-ups" and if you forget the honey in your hunting stuff, it doesn't stink to high heaven when you...

    Politics is voted @ the ballot box. It's much easier to support or not support everything else's because you can do i every day. Volunteer time and/or contribute resources to that with which you agree. Withold same from that you don't. voting with your wallet is powerful.

    270 vs. 30-06

    1st and foremost, they both suck. The Remington sucks less because it doesn't have that 2-stagishness that the Savage has due to the initial take-up of the stupid blade in the middle before you get to the real trigger shoe. Timney or Shilen for aftermarket 700's for me when need be, but, I'm...

    270 vs. 30-06

    Fun? Fun you say? Keith and O'Conner argued this point as the spokesmen for their loyal gaggle of readers in print monthly for over 30yrs. You don't think we on NDA can resolve this in a couple of days with posts that are a sentence or two rather than 5-6 pages each? I really do hate the...

    Remington cartridge designers oughta have the nickname "Two-Time" after the 244/6MM and 7Rem Exp/280 debacles.

    270 vs. 30-06

    How's this spelling: 6.5 "Fad"moor Accutriggers are for those who are completely unaware WTF a "good" trigger feel like. Hint: It doesn't feel like an accutrigger, nor anything approaching 2-stageish.
