i found a couple of videos on YouTube for sharpening the reels. found the kit at ace hardware.
basically you brush the rubbing compound on each blade of the reel (not the bed knife) and run the reels in reverse. works well, but probably not as well as having each reel sharpened individually. -
didn't seem to take me any longer, except when the grass was too tall.

used one for several years on a small lawn. wouldnt recommend for much over a quarter acre
you don't want to let the grass get very high. two weeks without mowing will make it extremely difficult to cut. have to keep it sharp, which is fairly easy with rubbing compound.
grass does look much better cutting with a reel, but i ended up going back to a gas mower after a couple of years. (when we started having kids and free time became more valuable) -

different response from cooper today:
"Thank you for contacting me regarding possible firearms legislation in Congress.
I share your concerns because I am a gun owner and, like tens of thousands of Tennesseans, have a carry permit. Like you, I know many law enforcement officers who risk their lives every day for our protection. And we all have families whom we love dearly and whom we want to keep safe from violence.
It is too early to say what gun legislation will move through Congress. The President is pushing Congress to act, as you probably heard him say in his State of the Union Address, saying that each of several different ways to reduce gun violence deserves a vote. He mentioned more background checks, stopping straw purchases of guns for criminals, and keeping our police officers from being outgunned. He said that "Each of these proposals deserves a vote in Congress." He did not try to tell anyone how to vote.
I think the President is generally on the right track with this approach. More background checks are particularly interesting because the National Rifle Association has supported them in the past, a poll indicates that 74% of current NRA members support them, and the Republican Leader in the House, Rep. Eric Cantor, recently said that background checks need to be stronger. Apparently 40% of gun sales today involve no background check. Because Republicans schedule all the votes in the House, Cantor's comment could be significant.
The Feinstein bill to ban the future manufacture of certain types of "assault weapons" has received most of the media's attention, but Senator Feinstein has expressed doubts about whether her bill could pass the Senate. House passage would be even more difficult, according to most observers. No one is seriously proposing banning or confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens.
I will do my best to study any pending legislation and to vote in accordance with the U.S. Constitution that I am sworn to uphold, including, of course, the Second Amendment. My guess is that no votes will occur until this summer.
Let's stay in touch as the issue advances. Thanks again for taking the time to share your views with me.
Sincerely,
Jim Cooper
Member of Congress" -

i have my great grandfather's mossberg model b .22 rifle. i haven't done anything with it because it really shows its age, and has an EXTREMELY light trigger.
1. i know that it is/was an inexpensive rifle and parts are hard to come by. still, it has sentimental value and i would like to see it restored a bit and brought back to life.
2. is there a gunsmith in the nashville area that you would recommend for such a project? -

Posted on another thread:
In a Tenth Amendment move, all the Governors of the various States have to do is declare that all non-felonious able-bodied men and all volunteer women between the ages of 18 and 80 in their State are members of the State Militia, (note it on their driver's license or HCP card) and are authorized military style and quality firearms, ammunition, and related supplies, and the feds can go pack sand.
late to the thread, but IF members of a militia were to be exempt would that include the federal militia? i was wondering about the "militia argument" the anti-2A folks like to use so i looked up the US code regarding the militia. seems that every able bodied male US citizen between 17 and 45 years old is a part of the federal militia. here is the code:
-CITE- 10 USC Sec. 311 01/03/2012 (112-90) -EXPCITE- TITLE 10 - ARMED FORCES Subtitle A - General Military Law PART I - ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL MILITARY POWERS CHAPTER 13 - THE MILITIA -HEAD- Sec. 311. Militia: composition and classes -STATUTE- (a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard. (b) The classes of the militia are - (1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and (2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia. -SOURCE- (Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 14; Pub. L. 85-861, Sec. 1(7), Sept. 2, 1958, 72 Stat. 1439; Pub. L. 103-160, div. A, title V, Sec. 524(a), Nov. 30, 1993, 107 Stat. 1656.) -MISC1- -
