    Who may lead communion?

    Likely could, but should not. Biblically, the Christ appointed the Apostles to lead; they appointed others, and they, in turn appointed more as the Church grew. Without being dually called and ordained; they have no call and no Authority to administer the sacraments.

    This was actually a bit of hack-job; when I start in to add some vents into a $400,000.00 mold with a hand held grinder, caution and a clinched sphincter punctuate the seriousness, and the high stakes. different ball game than a $200.00 rifle.

    Busy, busy. Even in the cold.

    Still raining, and the frost is coming out of the berm; unfortunately the berm acts like a dyke preventing natural drainage. It sucks.

    Polishing helped a bit, I was also able to do a bit of shimming underneath the trigger spring screw reducing the pull by (guessing)30%, Second stage is about 1.5 lb. now. I'm now cleaning up the stock a bit; I stripped the shellac finish with acetone and have tow coats of tong oil; I want one...

    LOL, a pair of geese are nesting on our outdoor range; the lower end is under 6" of water; I expect a few flocks of ducks behind the indoor range; it is a swamp in a dry year.

    We use pneumatic pencil grinders at work for fitting inserts and components into molds and dies; we also use them for cutting vent channels in injection molding dies. I have both at home. Depending on the job we have carbide cutters, diamond burrs, stones etc. we can use.

    My friend has a TOZ 14 repeater but it was missing a sight. I traded my ring and post sight for a front globe sight. We mounted my sight on his rifle earlier today. I had to do a bunch of work with a pencil grinder and files to create a dovetail in the sight ramp for the globe sight; took...

    Very beautiful indeed! I have been to all those places. Military base at Medford, aka Medford Tank Range. A big ferry departs from Tobermory across Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island. Ontario highway 6 starts in Hamilton, goes north through Guelph, up through Durham to Owen Sound, through...

    It arrived Thursday, and after a quick clean and lube I headed for the range. Lots of opportunity for tuning... I initially found the trigger to have a long, gritty take up. Target 1 was me struggling with the trigger; once I got the "two stage" thing figured out (too many good triggers on my...
