  1. webers are the way to go. you can smoke, grill, cook direct and indirect very versatile cooking machine. i've cooked alot bbq over the yrs...backyard and competition to commercial sales.  everything from custom horizontal w/vertical upright mobiles to southern pride rotisserie pits and down to the webers and most of the prize money was won with the weber kettles. once you learn them you won't need anything else.....take care of them and they will last many, many years.  JMHO

  2. Beef is also expected to nearly double in price this year, according to a local butcher. There is a cattle shortage that is driving prices up, so I'll be buying some beef to freeze and can.

    very true. i use eye of round whenever i get the chance to make it (jerky), it went from $1.98 to $3.57/lb like overnight. keeps hovering around the $3.30 mark, been this way for about 3 mths now....insane! only thing that doesn't go up is your money....obungo's plan.

  3. Lol...reminding me of when I cleaned my 91/30. At 2:00 am I decided to get in the shower with the barrel to get the cosmoline off. The wife walked in and freaked out. I used industrial strentgh simple green and it worked perfectly. Be sure to disassemble the bolt with caution and that you reassemble within specs so your firing pin doesn't protude too much and pierces your primers.

    thx for tip on simple green. thinking of considering a polymer stock for, basically gonna be a beater. like the ideal of reaching way out with this old fellow...didn't have anything in bolt action in centerfire....plenty of SA so i'm thinking this is going to be alot of fun! took it out just after dark and shot five rds thru and man this thing is LOUD plus impressive fireballs to add to smiles. amazing how something as old as these are that still have the pep in them as they do. overbuilt to say the least.

  4. have you tried American made ammo in it? the reason i ask this is i have a s410 and bought a case of the 3" Rio ammo and had the same problems you speak of. you could load the 4 rd mag and the first one would chamber after that hopeless. once i switch to any American made ammo....problems were non existent. same with 2.5 ammo when using the 2.5 magazine. in my case it was the imported Rio ammo.

  5. this is what the 1" ACE pad looks like on the bonesteel folder. screw holes line up with no problems, takes a lot bite out of the V12.....a lot more pleasant to shoot. crappy cell phone pics....too lazy to get the Canon out.

    chg that to a 1" from being a 1/2"....wasn't paying any atten when i posted this.

  6. looks like pic 3 is the factory hammer spring, if you replaced it with another after market spring could be your problem. most folks use the factory hammer spring in the conversion....i think i would put that back in if it were mine. no need to chg that out...i never have.

  7. Looks like I never shared the arrival...

    Nice stock, eh?

    Hope to get it out this weekend if it's not too cold. After, looking forward to customizing...

    bought one of these also but in 5.45. took it out of the box looked down the bbl put my hand on the upper forearm with a little authority....and it cracked completely in two laugh.png!!  knowing you have to replace these when buying them but they are "out the door stocks".

  8. thanks guys for the info. already have my guide, (had a set of B@T's but can't find them) was looking for a bit and tap only. have broken taps before and was thinking if i went with higher quality parts this may be a little better avoided. anyone that has broken these totally understands why higher quality is desired!

  9. has anyone dremeled off the mounting block for the front factory hand guard, if so does one see any ill effects from removing it? doubtful if it will ever go back to its org config....the mount in question is behind the FGB. really don't see no reason for it to be there since the factory wood was junk....this is on a 5.45 square back BTW. looking for some opinions before the the dremel goes to work. appreciate any replies  032.gif
