My 25 year old brother in law called my wife today and said his water is turned off. His girlfriend and her young son live with him. It's $200, which too me, is not something I'm willing to loose or have in the wind for weeks and months. He says he gets paid in two weeks, and so does his...

Just received my one piece interupter/ejector from Finland. It fits and works, and frankly doesn't look like it's ever been installed before. Guess Finland must have pallets full of misc spare parts for Mosins. Heck, it turns out they are still issuing a Mosin Nagant based sniper rifle in...

So, dumb question, is the interrupter the only thing that holds the ammo in the magazine from springing out? There is an area on the back right top of the magazine that looks like it has been knotched out. I've read about "Finn anti jam" mag modification but never seen what it actually was...

Got it put together. Wrapped some 240 grit sand paper around a screw driver handle and sanded to fit the round receiver. Hopefully I get a chance to do some shooting with afternoon. Pics or it never happened...

Are hex receiver stocks and round receiver stocks suppose to be interchangeable? I got the friends stock last night, and this morning I tried to put it together. Seems like the hex has some more material removed at the rear. Or I'm doing something wrong. I could of coarse carve some of the...

I have (had) 10 hens since about April. About 3 weeks ago, a single hen (Rhode Island red or production red?) got lazy, sick acting, and after about two weeks finally died. At first when we noticed she was sick, we separated her, and gave her her own water and food, thinking maybe the others...

Pictures Don't know how well the pictures show it Can't say people didn't tell me to just go buy a complete gun, and maybe I should have, but you know how that goes. Sure it's not the first or last time I went against good advice

My mother in law just baught a old used 50cc Chinese no name 4 wheeler for my son. It ran when she bought it, and for maybe 5 minutes the next day. Then it died. So, yesterday, I put fresh gas in, checked fuel flow (good), put brand new battery in it, and checked the plug. When I put it back...

There used to be a pretty good thread about Ammunition a few months ago, until it turned into a religious and political fertilizer fight. So, maybe we can try again, without the fertilizer? Acedemy Sports sells some pretty darn well prices 7.62x39 steel cased, Berdan primed, under the name...

It's 1894, found the numbers and all on bottom of reciever. I asked my 9 yr old son, what year do you think this gun was made? "1998" 104 years off... Edit: next to the date (1894) there is what looks like a "C" in a circle and at the front there is a serial number that matches the barrel...

Ok, here's some more detailed pictures. The one is my drawing of barrel symbols, numbers, ect. I know the B means Belgium, the D means it fires 7.62x54r vs 7.62x53r, and the serial numbers match on barrel, receiver and bolt handle. The receiver has only 3 or so markings. The left top...

Here is a picture of it. It's hard to get any pics of barrel markings. It's pretty ugly, guess I just got a bit over excited when I found out it wasn't just a regular production M91/30.

I got a Mosin-Nagant, from a 1/2 uncle in law, that he threw in a roll off dumpster when cleaning out an old house. The barrel is ruined and the stock is done. The marking seem to say it's a Finnish M39 made by Sako (I think) and has a barrel made in occupied Belgium in 1942. So, this gun was...

I have a simple 2 wire 240v submersible well pump. I've had some problems with burnt contacts on the pressure switch, so a couple months ago I replaced it. Now, I'll admit, I might not have had air in the bladder tank perfect (approx 28 lbs) and I did play a bit with the pressure adjuster nuts...

I have water filled 12.4-24 AGs on my L285 Kubota. On of them is slowly leaking air and water around the valve stem. I don't know the name for the part, but it's like a nut holding the stem tight against rim? It's plastic nut with a crack. Is that the reason it's leaking, or is it an...
