Front Man

In would prefer to use a soldering iron if I had one. Thanks for reminding me.

I apply the flame to the screws ends, from the inside of the dust cover, this way it has to heat less metal, because the very end of the screw is where the action is. Yep, that's even better.

Good book about the gun culture. It is a lot like Rand's Atlas Shrugged. My favorite part is when a retired attorney comes back from Africa and can't believe the changes in the last 20-30 years.

I loose my phone in the car because it slides into too many nooks and cranny's. If it were thicker and heavier it wouldn't do that. Mine design would be an inch thick coated with radio active isotopes! What kind of battery life could you get in a 1" thick phone!?

It isn't the color, it's the number. I think I am using 222 MS (it is red) right now. There is also a primer Loctite suggests you use. A propane torch flame on the head of the dust cover screws will loosen them. That's what I do anyway. FM

I would think Titanium is hard enough you can glass bead it as often as you'd want?

Only thing I could see wrong with them was they are too thin.

US Cellular had them ready to roll last week. I want one.

Dell has refurbished PC's and PC auctions.

I live on Outlook, I could imagine not having it. One of the features I like is having my Contacts catagorized and having email distribution lists.

Several freinds of mine have iPads and from what I have seen you won't be disappointed with one. And I have never owned an Apple product.

Yep! Thanks!

Shoot faster; that wil get the temps up

86 yards at a rabid skunk with an old .45 comp gun. Had to have the sights so high I couldn't see the target when I broke the final shot. Fun! Who said open guns weren't Practical? FM

I thought the D7000 was relatively new, as in less than 2 years. We have one, and yes, it's very good. And if you've already got lenses for a Nikon or a Canon or whatever, you'll want to stay within that brand. (I'm not a big fan of conversion rings.) The D90 has been around a long time and has gone through many different updates, and apparently is also a solid choice. If you go Nikon (and this may be true with the other vendors, too), DON'T get a "kit", that is, a Nikon package made up of the body AND a lens. It seems convenient and attractive, but the Nikon "kit" lenses are consumer grade and have a PLASTIC! mounting ring, and it doesn't take much for the lugs on the ring to shear off! (Happened to us!) Buy the body and a GOOD Nikkor lens separately. That is what I understand, get the camera body that will work for you and spend the money on the lenses.

VR-28 lens for Open. Half Jackets with 1,25 magnification for iron sites. Wish I had a light grey lens @ 1.25 too. If I had it together money wise I would try Rudy's because of their activity in our sport. FM

My first press was a 650 when they were brand new. Had primer issues (upside down) and got rid of it for what I paid for it. Replaced it with a 550. Cost of conversions was another issue I had with the 650. I didn't have anyone to coach me on bench requirements; I was totally out there on my own. I plan on getting my 550 rebuilt someday soon and going with a 1050 someday. My gun builder uses a 650 and loves it. FM

If a city doesn't grow it dies. We have to grow; but after reading everyone's response I do agree it has to be incremental. Maybe 1% -2% per year should be the goal. We don't need everyone from the other trigger sports; we need people from other sports. I think Steel Challenge is a great way for recruiting new members. Especially through schools, Scouts, and 4H type of activities. Target the youth and they will bring their parents;-)! Just some random thoughts and I think we are the on the right track. FM

I have some older guns plated by Checkmate that look the same as they did almost 20 years ago.

Is the RTS advertised in Front Sight new as the ad implies?

Can't help you in .40. My preference is 115 & 124 XTP's. Since I am not loaded with $, I use 115 JHP Winchesters in .355.

Caught the last 5 minutes last night; just in time to see someone get swept by a competitors rifle ! Kind of lame kind of fun... We all know the generals past.

Like! Good Times Mike! Heck, of all the names tossed around in this thread, Byfield is about the only one still actively competing!! (Except Leatham, of course.)

I got the 2 plus extensions too and never bothered to increase the round count. Are they really $30 now? Wow!

Guys; I forgot to tell you thanks for the information! wgnoyes has convinced me that it isn't for me. Yet. Thanks everyone!
