So we have this old Remington 788 .308 that we are restoring and at the moment it is disassembled. I was cleaning the metal parts that we are keeping and went to take the bolt apart and think I messed things up. They wont screw apart because I skipped the step of cycling the bolt so the gun is cocked. Now the firing pin assembling is stuck in the current spot, it should be up further in the bolt plug. First thought is ok just stick everything back into rifle and cycle the bolt. Well two problems with that. 1. The trigger we have is disassembled and in pretty bad condition, not sure if it can be used. 2. When I go to slide the bolt back in, it only slides in backwards. How can I fix this situation?

Reading the judge’s ruling, even though he didnt over turn the state’s law, he did provide some great arguments that may help future cases shoot these laws down. One specifically was how the social media requirement violates 1st and 5th amendment rights. He went on for 20+ pages on how the law is bull crap. So I am confident the state bit off more than they can chew… no way these hold up, especially if one gets to the SCOTUS. sucks now but this wont last Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now they cant arrest me, these laws are dumb but these cases are pretty badass! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good luck, look forward to pics! My buddies and I are going to Gloucester in 2 weeks for an all day haddock run. Staying in the same hotel/bar that was in "The Perfect Storm"... may or may not have been a good decision lol

Bowling Pin finish is a technique Remington did back in the day to waterproof seal their stocks, also brings out the grain nicely. Here is my grandpas old Ithaca 12 gauge my brother just did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

90! Thats awesome! I have a Remington 788 .308 that turns 50 this year. Love old guns! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I acquired an old Remington 788 .308 from a late family member. From what I have read they are pretty good rifles. My brother repainted the stock in a dark walnut and is going to seal it in the bowling pin style soon. The scope is trash and in need of an upgrade. I want to put a Leupold VX-5HD 3x15x44 on it. I found a compatible rail shown below. My question is what size rings do I need to buy? Also opinions on switching out the trigger for this bad boy. I think after it is all said and done I will have a pretty sweet little rifle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can see that being more reasonable but for ~$1000/year I would want to have that land for myself... seems like it could get overhunted pretty easy with 8 guys.. that means i get 50 acres lol

That is roughly $750/month (for 12 months, not actually hunting months) For that based on current super high mortgage rates you can buy some land for $100,000 at that price. Once my kids graduate college I plan on buying some land and subscribing to the food plot page and learning from all you pros... until then its public land for me baby!

I plan on winning, so you can just save me the trouble and Venmo me the prize money now

First Question: Are there any gunshop/sporting good shop owners on here? If so what is the process going to be come Sept 1 with regards to ammo sales? Second Question: With regards to the gun safe requirements, how is that going to be enforced? Cops cant just walk in without a warrant/just cause right. Third Question: Ammo registration.... what about those who reload? Where is the information on a state website with instructions on how to be in compliance? Where are the forms I need to fill out. Fourth Question: If I buy ammo out of state, how do I register it? Fifth Question: I have my rifle in the truck sitting on my backseat I and run into gas station to grab a coffee and donut before I hit the woods... did I just commit a crime?

What happens Sept 1?

I'll play if you need a 12th... hopefully Corey is ok though

Every property is different. The key is to figure out over a long period (couple years) how the deer/buck cycle works for your specific area.

Thanks for the insights, I didn't plan on sitting much at all which I guess means I am somewhat on the right track. We are going to be in the lower half of the park for ML as well, I will keep the blueberries in mind. What other tactics/guidance has led you to success over the years up there in the big park?

Im not taking my money out for another 25 years… just gonna keep putting 10% in and hope we dont have a recession in the year 2047 lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My roommate at Officer Training School was a traveling nurse who was taking a huge pay cut to join. I asked him why at 35yrs old was he doing that. He told me because he was tired of dealing with shitty people and having bosses motivated by not how effective drs/nurses treated patients ailments but instead by how “good” the patients rated their experience. This ties in with my post, the lack of personal responsibility in this society is creating issues. Now some of you will argue that the military today is motivated by the wrong things as well (see Afghanistan). From a 30,000ft view you have a point but down at the lower levels where I operate, the majority of people are awesome Americans and I love working with them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

100% the education level of population is the most important factor when it comes to a flourishing society. It is a three part process though 1. Nuclear family needs to provide a secure and solid foundation that develops a sound moral base. 2. Education system needs to properly educate students to develop the critical thinking ability to function in adulthood. 3. Community as a whole needs to be designed to enable proper social/community skills. In order for that process to succeed it requires one key ingredient that is rare these days in our country, personal responsibility. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got my bachelors degree for free on the governments dime by using tuition assistance while on active duty. Still have my GI Bill to give my kids, they get free school and a housing stipend. It sucked being away from home but now I am in the Guard and kids are still young.. worth it imo. Anyone has kids/friends considering joining the service feel free to DM me.. I’ll give you the non-recruiter advice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
