Well done RR

M1 carbine.. 15 rnd mag.. Rem soft points ..one in the spout..safety on..

What Bramble said!

Ben_Rumson

You might try resting the rifle over a rolled up sleeping bag..the rifle settles in nicely for support & cushion the rifle under recoil....nylon covers let the rifle recoil backwards smoothly.. The highth of the bag will probably put you in a more upright position... you may need to raise your r...

I'd a politely said he was doing a good job with his kids but it is really bad form to handle a firearm with folks down range..Folks down range might think you are going to fire off a round and probably won't take kindly to it..& that would be what I would have to think if I looked back and saw ...

Ben_Rumson

JDL Interesting..Sounds dicey with a live round in the spout..

Ben_Rumson

Accurate & a Take Down too!!

When my bottle of Rem Oil ran out I put STP in it & never have looked back.. That stuff stays put for a long time..

Last year IIRC, a school teacher was killed by one .25 bullet in the brain from a 11 year old kid..

Ben_Rumson

Differential hardening.. Is this a deliberate process then?

Ben_Rumson

Was there a cloud of white smoke, accompanied by a sulpher smell when the note of the report changed?

Ben_Rumson

Thanks cutter.. good to know

Ben_Rumson

I noticed the other day the difference in bluing color in the frame where the back of the bolt locks up.. Did Savage use some special hardening in that area ? Or fuse some other steel on for the tang?

Ben_Rumson

Did I read it wrong somewhere or is it true that the tang safety models can't be de-cocked..unlike the the lever safety models?

Ben_Rumson

Reading the post about the 94 Winchester action tightening up was interesting..Pins bending, wear issues in on the different parts...... This caused me to wonder what kinds of action issues is the Savage 99 known to have that stop it... I'm new to the 99 & so have only heard of one so far.. weak...

Thanks

I've got a old (1920s mfg) Spanish 25 auto..Buffalo Brand.. Features it has are amazing....Grip Safety, Magazine safety, Trigger Safety, Internal Hammer.. I've always read that the Spanish pocket pistols are junk..This one sure functions fine & I don't see any abnormal wear on the working parts....

bump ttt

Ben_Rumson

5" low wont require but about 35 thou taken off the top of the front sight if you've got 24" between the sights.. about 7 thou per inch @ 100.. You can wack the front sight down twice that, but your rear sight will still be pretty close to 3/8ths" anyway..

Ben_Rumson

awp101 OK, I'll go that..

Ben_Rumson

Very nice rifle ya got there for a good price...
I saw a Deluxe 1894 w/old reblue today @ $2950..Features I remember were:Pretty wood w/checkering, Take down, shotgun butt , half mag, 26" barrel, 2 leaf folding barrel sights, Winchester tang peep..Seems a little steep for a reblue...

Depends on the engine. Not all radials are rotary.

I thought in a Radial engine, the crankshaft moves, but the cylinders/engine is stationary, and in the Rotary, the crankshaft is stationary & the clylinders/crankcase/engine rotate..

+ 1 for Waldo Pepper! Love it when Waldo pulls the cotter keys that held the wheels on the Jenny & the consequent ditching in the pond.. NO Comp Graphics THERE!

Saw a new Sav 99 PG walnut stock set @ LGS, price is low $55.00 Buttstock w/rubber Boyd's butt plate & forarm.. No obvious blems..Any input on their stocks would be appreciated, especially if you've done a 99 with one..Thanks Guys

Ben_Rumson

Right! "Wings" that was the one I was thinking of in my first post.. "FlyBoys"... Aside from the rotory engine problem Ji mentioned..It seems the only plane in the Hun inventory was, what else, but the DR-1 Lol.. The Zeppelin attack rocked! Also had a problem with English/Euro St...

Hells Angels and the name escapes of the other one that used genuine WWI planes in it too..IIRC it was Gary Cooper's first film..He was a bit player in it..

Ben_Rumson

Joe.. I don't think he has enough front base to work with on a carbine.. He needs to come down 3/8ths''... That's why I suggested looking at another reciever sight or going to a tang sight.. Sounds to me like the holes for the receiver are too high... :( I know that Lyman receiver sights require D&a...

Ben_Rumson

Check around & see if there are lower reciever sights?.. Go to a tang sight?

Ben_Rumson

That young'un looks like a happy camper to me! Ran 50 thru the IBM not long ago..Use it in place of my handguns anymore..

since I can't see the sights on most of 'em well enough to keep from embarrasing myself..

Ben_Rumson

Nice report Kirk.. Glad you got the rifle back up & running..Looks very encouraging.... It's probably barrel harmonics as you suggest... OTOH moving the rest farther forward decreases the amount of pivoting you get between your shoulder & fore arm...
Good luck

Ben_Rumson

Not only did the trigger swing with the lever, they also had the buttstock attached with a through bolt..Not a bad feature by today's standards..but weird back in the day..

Ben_Rumson

Thanks!! Always like the Rollers

Ben_Rumson

Over tightening the screws won't cause the power adjustment to freeze up, but bending the scope will..caused by misaligned mounts..either from top to bottom or from side to side..To test for top to bottom alignment.. With the scope removed and the lower ring halfs still on the rifle, lay a straight ...

Ben_Rumson

Thanks Don.. Yes, Not the weather for a drenching!

Ben_Rumson

I hope I didn't miss it somehow, but at what distance were you from the jugs? Great report.. good stuff ... Thanks

Not at home presently, so cant post any pix.. but I have one that was sporterized in Europe a long time ago..Completely new dark walnut stock, shotgun butt plate, fine cut checkering @ wrist & forarm, horn shnabel, cased shotgun trigger guard with finger hook, double set triggers, express ramp 3...

Nice looking rig...Should the concrete turn out to be a problem, perhaps a large size aluminum cookie sheet would fit the bill..Give you a nice lip to keep things from running off, should disaster strike..

A crusty straight grip mod 99 300 Sav w/broken at the wrist stock, 26" barrel for $375.. & use the action to make something cool.. Mebbe a 35-300 Sav wildcat (more juice than the 35 Rem but less than a 358) or find a late mod mag rotor & go w/358 Win.. Them 99 actions seldom wear out.. ...

I can see the need for a Big Lube bullet in a rifle or carbine.. dont see any need for it in a revolver...I run a specially sized Saeco .452 180SW with ALOX all day long thru a Rem replica 44..Cylinder binding has to do with how well the pin is protected from fouling..not the lube on the bullet..

Ben_Rumson

I want one!

I silver brazed a piece of drill rod into a Lyman mold to defeat the hollow point feature..Brought both halves slowly up to temp setting them on the element of an electric range for a while... then playing the propane torch flame over both halves as I made the braze..

Back in the 70s I had a mint 71/84 that I traded off for a Colt New Service chambered for 45 Colt... I shot the 71/84 w/CIL 43 Mauser.. It shot nicely with those soft slightly hollow based .446 bullets..Clop clop as I cycled the action..Gettin all gunny just thinking about it now...Even ran a couple...

My 541S w/a trigger to die for.. It likes SuperX solids ..Bottle caps at a hunnert one time when I had a 20 power target scope on it.. The 1.5 - 5x Leupold is back on it now..Zillions of ground squirrel, no tree rats tho..

Nice work Kirk & nice pistola... I'd wager if you annealed the brass your velocity would go up a tad & accuracy would improve.
