Thanks for the feedback. I bought the gun new in 2004 and only have around 1000 rounds through it. I called S&W and they gave me a return label for it so I sent it back to them for repair.

I have a 629 Mountain Gun. The end of the hollow ejector rod and the pin inside it are getting dinged up really bad. So much so that this weekend I could not make the cylinder release work and had to take it home, pop off the side plate and use a flat blade screwdriver to gently force the pin...

I have a very old Lyman turrent press I use for decapping brass prior to cleaning, trimming and sizing. I have "gotten into the flow" several times and failed to get my fingers out of the way in time. Ouch!

As you can see from my handle, I'm in hot & humid Alabama. I use Breakfree all the time. I also put some dessicant in the safe and use a Golden Rod dehumidifier. I've never had a speck of rust. You can get dessicant at just about any craft store. They use it for drying out flowers and stuff like...

I just went through a similar effort. I built a new house and moved into it and then worked on painting and fixing up the old house. Sand and paint all the trim, doors, crown molding etc, paint all the walls, install new kitchen countertop, etc. I ended up going to the local decorating place and...

I took my daughter up there a couple of years ago on spring break. There are some great wineries outside of St. Louis. Be sure to check them out. I also belive there is Davie Crocketts or Danial Boones Homestead just outside the city.

We moved back in march and had the same experience. My wife went to the PO and got the same speil. She said give me the change of address card and the clerk got all upset with her and told her he would have to verify her ID in order to submit the form. She told him that wasn't a problem as she...

I vote for Alexandria. I stayed in the Residence Inn there several times and really liked it. The Metro is just a block away. Where ever you stay, try to make it close to the metro as this is the easiest way to get around in my opinion. Also, there is the George Washington Masons shrine in...

My wifes card was stolen several years ago. They charged over $20,000! They ordered a $7000 pool table to be delivered in California. She was not liable for the charges thank goodness. I couldn't believe the CC company approved all the charges!

We had lots of feral cats at an old house. I got a cheap pellet gun, low power, and popped them with a pellet when I saw them on the property. I used pellets as BB's would penetrate and the pellet would only sting real bad. After a few weeks it was funny to watch them come across the neighbors...

When I get unwanted solicitations in the mail with a postage free return envelope I take everything they sent me, including the original envelope and stuff it in the return envelope. I usually quit getting stuff from them in short order.

As far as the retreats go, it sounds bad that the companies are spending money on this. But, they book a lot of hotel rooms, buy a lot of food, buy airline tickets, pay performers, bellhops, taxi drivers, janitors, maids, etc. Now a lot of that has dried up and a lot of people are having a hard...

I've only been in a couple of Bass Pro and Cabelas, mainly the ones out in the Phoenix area when I was TDY out there. I ended up buying several guns from the Gun Library in Cabelas. Just have your dealer/club send them (FAX) a copy of their FFL and you are good to go. I found that they were very...
