    Show us your Guns!

    A couple more things, Major. Minwax Mahogany Red is an excellent match for the shellac used on those. Also, if you pick up a Model 44, the sights are regulated with the bayonet extended. The sights on the Mosins are excellent, especially if you find a Finn. And the interrupter mechanism in the...

    Nick, congrats on a fine rifle. Many from then have rough chambers, so here is a trick if you have sticky extraction. Get a 20 gauge brass brush, wrap it in brass wool, soak the whole thing in acetone or mineral spirits, chuck it up in a hand drill and scrub the snot out of it.

She looks at me and states "I hate it it when you use that word." Took me a second to realize we were suffering from a failure to communicate...

    Best city for vintage living

    How to travel with hats

    I just leaned my seat back an inch or so, draped my hat over my eyes and relaxed. Worked pretty well for a 2 hour flight.
