Hi folks, long time no be here. Hope everyone is doing good. Several years ago their was a discussion about the strength of the '73/'76 action strength and someone posted a link to an article on Winchester having fired one of these rifles with one toggle link removed with proof loads. Does anyone re...

Sorry. He is no longer producing them.In his mid-80's, he is now taking life more easy.

That's kinda what I figured. If anyone knows of or wants to sell one please let me know.

It's funny that guys that might make $20 per hour have no problem appreciating what our country stands for and guys that make more that $20 per second do.

I pray you're wrong Blaine, but I fear you're right.

the one in my Browning '86 SRC is the same two-piece type. Miroku is currently making an 86. So you should be able to use a part from that. Have you had any luck finding parts for a current Miroku Winchester 1886? The Miroku '86 is even different yet. It utilizes a split, flat, strut to accommodate...

On the Browning 71 the mainspring guide is a two-piece affair that "trombones" into each other inside the spring. The guide doesn't go thru the mainspring abutment, but stops against it. I'm beginning to wonder if we'll have to change out the abutment, guide and hammer for an original 71 W...

Hi guys. Haven't been around for awhile, hope everyone is doing well. I'm helping a buddy put together a Browning 71 348 parts gun that he picked up cheap at an auction. We've found all the parts that were missing except the outer mainspring guide. Midwest Guns Works didn't have that one part. I've ...

The Ross, would. If I knew more about the bolt flying backward, it may. The one's with the alleged bolt issues were the 1910's. A lot of these guns have wallowed out chambers and headspace issues. Out of the 4 I've bought in the last 10 years three of them have had both. They are very cool rifles t...

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. As I sit here typing this I look around the computer desk at my three companions that have been with me thru thick and thin for the last 8 years and dread the day I lose one of them.

Knife throwing, another skill I flunked at... :oops: I tried proper throwing knives but I was still useless, I had more luck with those Italian stiletto lock knives but the puny locks did not stand up to it well.

I've been piddling with renewing an old interest for a few of weeks now and Sunday evening the wife and 11 y/o step-daughter came outside to try their hand at it. Knife throwing.

have you handled the browning 85% .22 by way of comparison? it's out in .380 too. I think it's very fine, but have not shot one. I haven't. My buddy bought this one or I'd have probably never seen this one. The words "Gold Cup" disillusioned his eyes. The original designers of the Colt Go...

firefuzz

Manufactured by Walther under license to Colt. Says Colt Gold Cup Trophy on one side, that and the basic shape and operating controls are the only thing similar to a 1911 about it. Think I'd rather have a Chiappa and save a couple of hundred bucks, and I don't care for Chiappa guns.

You did right under the circumstances. At least it wasn't "CECIL". You know, it seems like everyone is condemning the hunter. He hired a professional guide service. It was they who did the misdeed. Yet some want to hang him. This sort of thing could happen to any of us who hire a guide se...

I just sold for a friend of mine a 6", blue, Python made in 1991, new in the box, unfired for $2,600. I honestly believe I could have gotten a little more for the gun, but she was in a hurry and I think panicked thinking the offer was going to go away. Her deceased husband had paid less than $3...
