    Your Fav. Vegetable Oil for Making Lubes

    Cottonseed oil is some pretty good stuff. I don't recall ever hearing it mentioned here. We use it during our fish fries. Cottonseed oil doesn't hold the fish flavor/smell as bad as other oils. It seems to work as well as olive oil for me. Cottonseed Oil: Uses, Side Effects, and Possible...

If I'm just shooting that .50 for fun and letting friends shoot, I will shoot .490 balls. They load easier. That being said...

    Anyone here ever use a lager bore ML for small game hunting

    Under lug help

    Yeah, I can make one. Could also just file cut in a dove tail . Was trying to find one like GM used. I have not called Dixie. I have noticed lots of the Italian barrels have them, like Lyman. I have a Sharon that also has these. I will try Dixie tomorrow. I did check their website a few weeks...

    Under lug help

    Does anyone know where I might find one of these? I am putting together a Green mountain 36 cal drop in barrel. The barrel was factory drilled and tapped. I have found everything but the screw on under lug. I called GM and they told me that they don't sell ML barrel parts anymore. TOTW...

    Removing the barrel on a hooked breech rifle for cleaning, yes or no??

    I always remove my hooked barrels. It makes cleaning them faster and easier for me. And I have never noticed a change in shot placement.
