Hmmm, I don't know, the OD green might be a little over the top.

I did have at one point a 1899 CD (not 99) that came with a rare 26" barrel. I was pushing Hornadys 110 grain spire pointed bullet with ease well over 3000 f.p.s. ... I was easily hitting targets out to 500 yards and accuracy at 100 yards was less than an 1".Mainehunter Your description i...

Another place that has a surprisingly good gun shop is Boulder, Colorado. I can't think of the name of it right now but it is close to the Pearl Street hippy extravaganza open air market. When I first found it, I remarked to the owner how surprised I was that he had such a great shop. He told me tha...

That's what I thought, BUT... funny enough to forward to all of my friends!

Wait a minute, I thought that it was against some kind of law for you californians to have cool guns!?
I really like that rifle crescent buttplate. See if that 38-55 is floating around. I've have a few 9mm that they could pick from.

Very nice, and one heck of a good deal!

damienph

That Shikari is still worth the $120 that you paid. $480 for the model 95!!! .30-06 and .303 British are the two calibers that I would most want chambered in that rifle. Good for you!

For those who snoozed.......you lose. Supplies have dwindled down to expensive premium stuff. When Targetmaster has run out, the world is out of ammo in circulation. Does not matter what the cause is--it will be a year (with no more scares) before things return to normal.----------Sixgun That is &q...

Tom Selleck, one of my favorite actors; I wish that he would have played Jack Reacher instead of Tom Tinkerbell Cruise.

Heck yeah, I've used worse than that.

Mine is a 1901 in 7mm Spanish Mauser. Very accurate and fun rifle to shoot.

damienph

Gun porn! :D Finally had a chance to grab a pic of the Rossi 92 that I found at what I thought was a great price last month ($299) and while I was at it I set the Para hi-cap 1911 I picked up yesterday in the photo too. I "need" another 1911 like a hole in the head, but I've always liked ...

I've never been able to replicate it but the factory load that shoots best in my 03-A3 is PMC 180 gr SP. I've tried several 180 gr loads and so far can't match it.

damienph

I also like the load that Joe Miller uses: 150 gr Remington PSP, 54.0 gr W760, WLR primer, Winchester brass, OAL = 3.195". Don't know velocity but is very accurate (at least consistent) in my two sporters; SC 03-A3 (1943) and SA 1903 (1928). My 03-A3 avg 3/4-1" (scoped), my 1903 avg 1-1/2&...

Joe,

My comments about the house and the landlord and the clutter was presented to you through personal experiences of mine as a former landlord. Just an observation and a possible cause for problems between tenant and landlord; not as a criticism.

I sincerely do wish you the best.

Joe, Your wife asked you a serious question that deserved an honest answer from you. She needs to know that you are at the point (because of the overwhelming amount of clutter) that you would seriously consider leaving all behind, including her, because of it. Being completely honest with her, in my...

My wife has had the surgery performed on both wrists, not arthroscopic but cut wide open. The results were absolutely amazing. she has been wrist pain free for about 10 years now.

I forgot to mention the P.O. Ackley manual are interesting too. I'd be careful with the data but it is very interesting to read about all the wildcats. BD The PO Ackley books are very interesting. But you're right about verifying his load data. That is true of load data in any of the older manuals,...

I registered mine at the county courthouse back in '76 when I got out. No perks as far as I know, no discounts, no card, and certainly no pass on the CCW class.

I only registered mine because the VA guy told me I needed to.

I have several (close to 20?) manuals. Some, I rarely use; the ones that I use most are Hodgdon's, Hornady, Nosler and Speer. I have also tried several of the loads from Ken Water's Pet Loads. It is so much more than just a handloading manual, it is one of my favorite firearms books. The PO Ackley s...

Thanks If I could find a way to produce QUALITY, and affordable lead free bullets, that expanded reliably for the 375 I might keep it as is, but after several years and untold hours of working on it, its still not easily done, thus the caliber swap idea. There are a few 30 cal lever suitable offeri...

A 38-55 with a 26" barrel sounds sweet! JES did a good job turning my Marlin into a .356. I think you are going to like it. .. Yea its the gold plated centenial model. Not worth much as a collectable, and I hate to have safe queens. Since I am planning on turning my 94BB into a 307 for a littl...

I am not against it but haven't had anything chambered in it since I gave my last SKS to my son. Would make a good deer cartridge in a short action bolt gun. That CZ should be a good one.

I started when I got out of the Army in 1976. Newly married, going to college on GI Bill, a good friend set me up with an old Texan C press, an original set of red (instead of newer yellow) Lee powder measures (dippers), an Ohaus powder scale, and lent me his dies until I could buy my own.

I love those Constellations too. Saw one at an airshow, got to tour the inside for $1.00. Kind of small inside. What impressed me the most is when it was coming in, they touched down, the pilot reversed the pitch on the props and that airplane stopped on a dime. Most amazing thing I ever saw. Those...

The frenzy to buy hi-caps while you can is really getting out of hand. Kel-Tec PMR30s are SELLING in excess of $1000. There is one on Gunbroker that just sold for $1600.

What a great gift from a great wife! (and family). Glad to hear that your new job is working out so well. Hope that you and yours have a prosperous and blessed New Year.
I've always thought those were cool rifles in a great caliber.

The little Savage bolt gun can be very accurate. Weakest point is usually the trigger pull. I have a great fondness for the Remington 8/81. Have two 8s -- in .30 and .35 Remington. Agree with Mescalero on the recoil of the A5. Not much fun with heavy duck loads. The bolt rifles of the Savage 340 ty...

It's therapy of the finest kind. +1 I find it very relaxing and a great stress reliever. I never figure my time into the cost of something that I enjoy. Chores, maybe; hobbies, never.

I don't know enough about them to say but it seems to me that $650 would be fair. Without your three boxes of ammunition, your asking $600 or less. I haven't seen a Lee Speed or a BSA Commercial for sale for less than $1200 on any auction site recently.

I have an Armalite AR-10 and a AR-180 that was to be used as a short range carbine that after shooting a few times at the range and killing a couple of deer with the AR-10 changed the EoTech to a 2.5x 10 scope as it shot to well at longer distance that the red dot would do.
