I have personally never used a peep. After trying one I found it distracting and a pain. Keeping a consistent anchor point has never been a problem. With plenty of practice a consistent anchor point comes naturally...but then again I use to shoot instinctive. I believe practice develops good form.

He probably would have been alright if she didn't bend over for a drink. Some times that is all it takes

Think about heading one lake east. Seneca has some huge perch early in the year. 1&2 pounders are common. Usually right after the smelt run. Haven't been out or heard if the smelt are running or have run yet.

I did a similar project a few years ago myself and I doubt very much you will finish something like that in a year working weekend & nights. Finally said screw it, sold the house,and built new.

CongratulationsTo add to grows' advise.....Plan real good and do it right the first time. Nothing worse than having to go back and change things after the fact. If it is done right the first time you can look back with satisfaction and move on to the next project. Houses are BIG money pits and can be very frustrating and expensive but it can be rewarding in the end.

This would be correct...There are more than enough gun owners in the state to control their destiny by simply getting out to vote. The fact that they did not is why we are stuck with Cumo and the safe act. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

Kutos to all the shed hunters that have found some horns but I gotta tell ya....it really saddens me to see all the nice racks being found with the bodies still attached or near by. Seem like a lot are not following up with the tracking job and some nice bucks (and does) are dying needlessly.

I think that is why they call this a free country. Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that Michelle Obama’s 2014 trip to China cost American taxpayers $362,523.53 in air travel expenses alone. The First Lady, her daughters, and her mother spent March 19 – 26 in China, in a trip highlighted by extended visits to some of the country’s most popular tourist sites. The Daily Mail reported that: “Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite.” The 3,400-square-foot suite included a private steam room, and in-room dining for six. much of the Obama family’s time was spent at popular tourist sightseeing venues. According to Diplomat.com, “The First Lady, daughters Malia and Sasha, and mother Marian Robinson visited Beijing’s Forbidden City and Summer Palace as well as the Great Wall, the Terra Cotta Warriors in Xi’an, and the Chengdu Panda Base.”

You are absolutely correct my friend. Unfortunately "the people" are just as messed up as the government and everyone is going in a different direction with their own agenda and no common ground. The closest we came and will probably ever come to being united is when the country voted Trump in. Now that he is in we are beginning to find out just how far apart everyone is like. Crap like this Dem State Rep Warns Illegal Immigrants About Upcoming ICE 'Raid' http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/03/29/michelle-dubois-democrat-state-rep-warns-illegal-immigrants-ice-raid-brockton: should not be tolerated just like Maryland wants to become a sanctuary state after a teen was raped by two illegal immigrants. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/03/20/maryland-girl-allegedly-raped-in-high-school-bathroom-by-two-teens-at-least-one-here-illegally.html My question would be 1) Why & how are they here? 2) Why are they in our schools? Without solid ground and common values this country and our government will fail. Trump nor anyone else will be able to stop it.

WASHINGTON As America’s first family enjoys its eighth and final vacation in Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ annual trip at $3.5 million or more. In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records. Her is some more reading for ya if ya get bored: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidential_trips_made_by_Barack_Obama_during_2016 Obama’s Travel Cost Taxpayers More Than $96 Million January 3, 2017 2:45 pm President Obama's travel expenses cost taxpayers more than $96 million during his time in office, according to a report from the watchdog group Judicial Watch. The group obtained documents from the Secret Service and Air Force that revealed President Obama's travel over the last eight years totaled $96,938,882.51.

North Dakota Joins Eight other States
Steve D replied to Steve D's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Wasn't that easy for them either with two young kids and both of their families here. He had a collection of AR's and was afraid to go out and shoot them because like many others he didn't register them under the safe act. Being a fairly young couple they couldn't keep up with the constant tax increases. She was able to land a good job and they found a house to rent twice the size of theirs here to rent for 1/2 of what they were paying here. There house here sold fairly quickly so now they are money ahead and enjoying their life in a new place. -

My neighbor just sold his house and moved there last fall. They moved because of the NYS gun laws and taxes. As soon as they found work off they went . Says he doesn't regret it a bit. -
Mossberg 500/535 - Travel Broken Down?
Steve D replied to jmark's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
I understand your dilemma. What you need to check is whether or not the spring can come out that way. I believe if it comes out it has to be removed from the magazine end. -

I see now but does your spring come out when you on screw the barrel? -
Mossberg 500/535 - Travel Broken Down?
Steve D replied to jmark's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
You could be right...some of the older ones did have the screw that stayed with the barrel. Looking at the picture closer the 590 & 835 have the cap and the,500,505, 510, and the 535 have the take down screw. I know on my semi Mossberg the spring can't come out with the cap off because a retainer keeps it in place. The only way the spring can be removed is on the receiver end from the magazine tube. -
Authorizing constitutional carry along with (Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming) Thursday, March 23, 2017 - 10:00pm BISMARCK, N.D. – Governor Doug Burgum today signed legislation allowing law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed handgun if they have possessed a valid North Dakota driver’s license or state ID card for at least a year. The “constitutional carry” authority provided under House Bill 1169 applies only within North Dakota’s borders. Those wanting concealed carry reciprocity with other states must apply for a Class 1 or Class 2 North Dakota concealed weapon license, for which the requirements remain unchanged. Current law only requires an applicant for a Class 2 license to complete an open-book test, at a cost of up to $50, and undergo a criminal history records check. Class 1 licenses require firearms training and additional requirements. Both licenses carry a $60 application fee. Under HB 1169, anyone who is eligible to possess a Class 2 firearm license and has had a valid driver’s license or state ID card for at least a year may carry a concealed firearm. Law enforcement officials recommended the state ID language, as well as the bill’s requirement that anyone carrying a concealed weapon inform law enforcement of the weapon during a traffic stop or other contact. Someone who has been convicted of a felony or crime of violence will still be precluded from carrying a handgun under this new law. Individuals who initiate the purchase of a handgun from a federally licensed dealer are still required to undergo a federal background check, which runs their name and descriptive information through three national databases. “North Dakota has a rich heritage of hunting and a culture of deep respect for firearm safety. As a hunter and gun owner myself, I strongly support gun rights for law-abiding citizens,” Burgum said. “House Bill 1169 allows citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution. It also is consistent with the North Dakota Constitution, which declares in Article I that all individuals have the inalienable right ‘to keep and bear arms for the defense of their person, family, property, and the state, and for lawful hunting, recreational, and other lawful purposes, which shall not be infringed.’ ” At the same time, Burgum – who has a Class 1 concealed weapons license that requires applicants to demonstrate firearms proficiency – noted that neither the existing Class 2 requirements nor HB 1169 have a firearms training component. He encouraged anyone considering carrying a concealed weapon to enroll in one of North Dakota’s many certified gun safety courses. “Gun ownership is both a right and a responsibility, and that responsibility begins with individuals and families,” Burgum said. No law enforcement agencies or groups testified against HB 1169. A representative of the North Dakota Peace Officers Association testified the bill is more enforceable because of the provision restricting it only to North Dakota residents and the requirement that those carrying a concealed weapon must inform a peace officer upon contact. “I ask legislators and law enforcement officials to closely monitor this new law with a continual focus on public safety,” Burgum said. The bill does not change the places designated in law as off-limits to conceal carry, including schools and publicly owned or operated buildings. House Bill 1169, which passed overwhelmingly with bipartisan support, takes effect Aug. 1, 2017.

Mossberg 500/535 - Travel Broken Down?
Steve D replied to jmark's topic in Guns and Rifles and Discussions
The "screw thingy" should be separate of the barrel and not part of the barrel. For what you are trying to accomplish I would un-screw it, remove the barrel and put the cap back on the magazine tube WITH THE spring retainer. When you are ready to use it remove the cap & ring, attach the barrel and reinstall the cap & ring to keep the barrel in place. You might want to read the owners manual that should have come with the gun. -
While I use all three I like the ladder the most but MY favorite one would be the one the deer walk by while I am there.
