    Why we support Palin -- We're rednecks (said with respect)

    I've read the relentless liberal attacks on Palin. While I am no mccain fan, I do take umbrage at these attacks on Palin. I think the reason why is two fold... 1. I dislike the hypocrisy of liberals who claim to be for women's rights while attacking a historic choice for a woman as a GOP VP...

    Mosin Nagant Head Space Question

    I have a Mosin Nagant M44 built in 1945. She is in good shape, barrel is very clean and rifling is in good shape. It was suggested to me to check the head space before I fired it so I purchased a No-Go and Field gauge. Since the gauges I purchased require the extractor pin to be removed from...
