Re: OT, any Mauser guys here?

My guess would be 1909 Argentine because of the adapter for the bayonet. If it has a stamp of "clasped hands" (handshake) then you know for sure. Looks like either a calvary or engineers carbine from the length, can't remember which one didn't have the muzzle cap off the top of my head.......

Re: OT: AARP What The Heck.

I've been getting stuff from AARP, Medicare/medicaid, for years. There was an invite for an educational dinner that I told my wife we should really go to, but she didn't want to go, I guess that it's for the best, considering that we're in our 30's....... (Every time they call, I tell them, maybe th...

Re: OT - Powder Scale Accuracy

Well...... I had an RCBS electronic for all of about two hours 15 years ago.... I throw light and trickle and I *really* didn't like that it took 4-5 kernels of powder (imr 4064) to register a change. On the 5-0-5 one kernel is a visible difference.

Re: .45acp V. .357---Let's Settle This Once and For All

Keep in mind that if it works on a beast, it'll work on a man. However, if it works on a man, it might *not* work on a beast. I agree about the .45 Colt being the historical favorite, but that was a 250gr at @1000 FPS. The .45 ACP is a bit less than that, but not much. Now, an old three screw in .45...

Re: Rossi 92 in half-round half-octagon...

Interesting.... I have the same one.... I was batting around the idea of trimming the barrel to 18", but maybe I should keep it as is.... "but honey, now I *need* another one" :mrgreen:

Re: Gimee Gimee upgrades... Rossi M92 gets some

Here's another tip for the Rossi's. Replace the mainspring with a Wolff spring. I'm pretty sure that the right one is a 19 pound Ruger Blackhawk mainspring, but I'll have to check..

Re: Mauser Question

Hello all, well, I just checked (30-06 thru an 8mm Mauser) the round does clear, but the magazine box would need a little more length.

Here's some food for thought.... .257 Roberts
less kick than a 25-06, and heavier bullet than the .243 (I'm assuming *feral* hogs, they're tough)

Re: Mauser Question

Just another plus for the .243, 1) you won't have to do anything to the bolt face 2) I'll check with my GEW 98, but I'm not sure if a loaded '06 round will clear the reciever on ejection or if it'll hang up. 3) There *shouldn't* be any problem with feeding, but if there is, it'll be an easy fix (not...
