Al, how are you doing with all that water? Hope all is well. Mort

There is a ton of advice here for improving your shooting but I have never seen anyone address flinching. I'm sure most people here don't but if you are in doubt here is a way to find out. When I was in boot camp qualifying your range instructor would sometimes hand you a M1 clip with a...

Given this age group I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with this, and doing case prep has become a problem. Anyway I went ahead and bought an electric case prep machine and it helps. Not perfect but helps. I don't get around like before and didn't mind killing time doing case prep,. but I...

I have been wondering since I first saw your name here if you are related an Army officer that served in North Africia 1942/43. I had to give it a shot. Thanks Mort

I was recently going over a Mauser catalog I purchased from Stoeger Arms sometime back. Besides showing what was available the emphasis was on "Original Mauser Magazine Sporting Rifles" as opposed to those offering rifles with Mauser actions. I know FN and Husqvarna did this and I'm sure there...

https://imgur.com/d6B4qlT https://imgur.com/UBbq3TE https://imgur.com/KBo5qsK https://imgur.com/Xz7jZpr I found this wrench in the bilges of a ship in drydock. It looked a little rough, but I took it back to the shop to see if I could clean it up. Glad I did. The wrench felt...

I posted this story here sometime back on Benchrest. You might find it interesting. Sometime in the mid to late sixties my racing buddy and I were at a gun show. He was looking for a 45 as I was looking for a Luger. He found his 45 enclosed in a wooden box with miscellaneous accessories for...

Hey Tim, thought I would show you a couple of pics on where I shoot. This is just above part of the Snake River Canyon and about an hour from home. One picture shows where I'm looking when the shooting starts. The short dark horizontal line way out there is a rock outcrop. My little distance...

This protractor was passed on to me at the shipyard. I had little use for it, but hung on it because of the transfer of ownership and date. The war had been over for 20 years and this was still floating around the machine shop. When people retired they often sold or gave tools to friends in...

This recently cleaned-up wrench which belonged to my father has some interesting characteristics. One side reads, The Billings and Spencer Co, Hartford Conn. USA, and the bottom has the numbers 1111 725 B. Flip it over, and the large end says 3/8 cap and 3/8 S.A.E. The small end reads 5/16 CAP...

When I was working at the shipyard, I was taught how to scrape by a tall slim good old boy from Texas. He was easy to get along with and had a lot of patience. We were doing high-pressure steam casing flanges for the aircraft carrier Midway. There were four boiler rooms so we had 8 casing...

Jackie, you asked in a previous post what I felt like prior to going to the doctor. My symptoms won't fit everybody, but I know another person who shared my experience. You are tired and have very little ambition. I thought I needed more or better sleep. The kicker for me was shooting ground...

Just read that these folks are putting together a bill that would make the state exempt from some federal laws. It covers land use, gun control laws among others. Mort

This is a little long but worth watching. Check it out. Mort YouTube: Heather Mac Donald | The Diversity Delusion

When I was working in a machine shop one of my buddies had a Gerstner machinist toolbox. I loved that thing but couldn't afford it. I ended up buying an 8 drawer Kennedy. I kept the Kennedy covered and it still looks like new. The Kennedy roller cabinet looks it's age. Was looking through a...

I bought 100 large rifle primers last summer for $3.50. I also wanted to buy 1000 CCI 450 primers but they were out. I tried Cabella's in Boise but no dice. I went online and everyone is out of stock. I got word the CCI 41 military would work as well. Could only find them on a couple of bid...

Tool Post That Is! Mort

I don't watch that stuff for obvious reason's but found Ricky Gervais opening monologue on U Tube. I loved it, and I think you will too.....check it out. Mort Gervais has done several Golden Globe Awards. The one you want is 2020.....Hollywood will never recover.

To those who gave the most.

Riggers When you are working in the trades it is often said the other guys have it easier then you. Of course, sometimes it's true and sometimes it isn't. To witness riggers moving heavy machinery from the engineering spaces on a ship topside or to the flight deck is an education in itself...
