Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

Re: Sinking of the Coventry
Might it have been a Frigate? IRC Sheffield & Coventry were the only destroyer lost. What I can recall with fair certainty is that we were touring a destroyer. What I can remember about it definitely looks like the type 42s after looking at some pictures. Edit: I revise the statement in red. I did ...

Re: 1928 Tula 5 line 91-30 worth $200.00?
Even a typical, common refurb, non-matching, would likely fetch at least $200 in shootable condition, probably at least $250.

Re: Area 51 to be raided by civi's
Yep. This will be a disaster. It's easier to get inside the White House, since it allows tours. They have firepower all over to protect it, and that's a place they're willing to let you in.

Re: Sinking of the Coventry
It's too bad modern warships can't take hits. Do you remember the name of the ship. Unfortunately, I can't recall the name. It was interesting, though. We were fortunate in the tour since we were first in the line. We got to yack a good deal with the officer about the ship. I remember a helicopter ...

Re: Sinking of the Coventry
In 1984, I was a kid at the world's fair in New Orleans. A British destroyer was briefly moored there and the officer giving the tour said it had a sister ship sunk in the Falklands.
My guess is that it was this one. The turrets on the ship give me a sense of recognition in my old memory.

Re: Buying and selling
It's crucial to know the gun involved, as well as the "going rate." Also, it helps to know the profit margin a dealer will be likely to get if he takes the gun in on a trade. Something I've noticed from prowling around gun shows: I sometimes put a rifle on my shoulder just to see what someone in the...

Re: Sporterized 1903 Found Locally. Help Me Decide...
Agree. You did good.
The simple fact is, they make excellent hunting rifles, and that's part of the reason so many got sporterized.

Re: How many hours of work to make a Mauser Receiver
I suspect its related to manufacturing capability. I would reason it is far more for production tooling costs & setup than capability ... Think about it, as an example, when the Thompson/Center factory building muzzleloaders (straight profile barrels) in NH burned down, the biggest obstscle to any ...

Re: Cheap ammo & value of rifle.
This is a question answerable by basic economics: price of related goods as a factor of demand. If related goods are expensive, it means demand for the product will be less. (and vice versa).
