    FNG from Germany

    I was never much of a fisherman. My dad would wake me at 05:00 on Sundays and ask if I wanted to go, never any notice and sitting on a bank was not for me. 45 Years later I met my wife who is an avid flyfisher. Now I am enjoying that, in some ways it is like hunting. We live on a famous fishing...

    FNG from Germany

    The neat thing about the Fastback in High School was the fold down rear seat and the trunk access panel

    Bore brushes?

    When required (hard fouling) I use bronze brushes. Don't buy those spiral things, they can't engage the crud. Cutting is controlled tearing, doesn't matter if it is paper or steel. When you look at cut steel under magnification you will see it is not as smooth as it looks to the naked eye. If...

    FNG from Germany

    Nothing against you or your family but I am battling with a gunsmith in that area (Illertissen). I was forced to take a Shiloh Sharps to the proof house to get a German proof on it. It failed because the chamber was too tight in all dimensions (SAAMI vs CIP). This forced me to give it to a...

    FNG from Germany

    I spent most of my military/civilian career outside of the US. Lived over 25 years in Germany (mostly Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemburg) and visited more than 40 other countries for work. My wife works for an international bank in Hessen (Frankfurt) but fortunately is able to telework. her family...

    Long Range School (midwest)

    Ok, so what precision (moa) do you think is required to be responsibly shooting at game animals? So, is that too tight for shooting at live animals? I believe the F Class target for 600 yds has an X-ring of 1/2 MOA or 3 inches, is that not correct? Back in the 1980's there was a group in...

    What torque screwdriver?

    There is always someone trying to sell a gadget to improve your rifle/shooting ability. In the late 1980's we had a guy show up wanting us to buy his scope level. It was a plastic ring with a glass level that was supposed to be inserted between the ocular end of the scope and the scope cover...

    Nostalgia

    That is great. As a 13 yo my first experience with reloading was for an M1 carbine circa 1968. If you need a challenge try loading that cartridge.

    Long Range School (midwest)

    JJ; "You're kind of just parroting stuff that's said every time the subject comes up anywhere." So if I am and it diverges from your opinion does that make it wrong? When someone can show me they can place every shot within a 6" circle at 600 yds on changing terrain and in changing weather...

    What torque screwdriver?

    "Most guys with screwdriver types have no idea if it’s accurate or not." City boy mentality: Blind trust. For a mere 6% accuracy I would rather invest more in training my right wrist with 16oz curls!

    Long Range School (midwest)

    Great guys cannot turn a shooter into a phenomenal shot in one course. Long range shooting at enemy combatants demands no ethics of ensuring a clean kill, hunting does. Again, I have nothing against shooting at game form long distances but the shooter needs to be competent. Should we in this...

    Long Range School (midwest)

    I have no problem with long range shooting of game but as a former Special Operations sniper instructor none of these courses are going to make you the sure-shot 600 yard killer they advertise. Just because you can place a shot in the 10-ring on a known distance range at some course does not...

    New Warne Skyline Lite Bipod

    I don't like that lever hanging off the side. I would rather have a bit more weight and go with an Atlas.

    FNG from Germany

    The car is a Fordenstein. Jan 65 production, block is a 79 302 from god knows what. Motor is full of other makers stuff. Lunati cam, AFR heads.... I have put about $4k into the front and rear suspension to make it go around corners nicely. The TA radials are crap for driving but I have hem on...

    What torque screwdriver?

    I prefer a small 1/4 or 3/8 drive torque wrench, much more flexible in use and for holding what I am working on, I really like the Bisley vice from Lothar Walther. It has one set of jaws padded with cork for holding delicate stuff and good hard jaws to hold other things. The jaws can be rotated...

    FNG from Germany

    At my age it is hard to consider myself a FNG. I once had a guy come to my team that immediately told everyone he was not the FMG because he had been there before. I told him him I didn't care, no one on the team knew him so he was the FNG... I live just about dead center in the Schwarzwald...
