That's what I was wondering, -will wet remove the blue without leaving streaks? -how do you get the 'tight spots' without getting cross hatched looking metal? -do you follow up with a polishing wheel or something? I guess I need to find a nice gun refinishing how-to... I took a lot of woodworking cl...

What is the best way to strip and polish?

For that reason, I have better luck with a 6 o'clock hold for a more precise aiming point. w30wcf That's a new one on me? Care to elaborate? What he is referring to is holding at 6:00 on the bottom of the target so that more of the target is visible to the eye: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1/...

thanks for the heads up.... Better than nothing (which is what i have now!)

Great ideas guys... Thanks!

I have some spare parts for my granddads K98 Mauser he brought back from WW2. An extra bolt, ejector, front wood band, etc. In any case I live around Houston where the humidity is always about 300%. I'm concerned concerned about these parts rusting and I'm wanting to put them in some container... So...

Thanks for the links...

There is a University that has program that will try to reconstruct a website from the archive.org content... It says it could take days to weeks. I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

Great job! That's going to be a great shooter when you get all the kinks out.

FWIW, this place has them way cheaper than anyone else I've seen...

Don't know if it's a misprint or they're out of business... But they have 2012 on the page... I'll give it a shot.

$200!? That's a steal! Good job.

I purchased some of these SPFN/CANN .257 speer hot-for bullets to shoot in an old Winchester 25-20... I also have an old 25-35 I posted about ages ago. I haven't shot either one yet! http://www.speer-bullets.com/ballistics/detail.aspx?id=23 Anyhow, I'd like to hear anyone's experience with these rif...

Not to say I don't like he current board... Still better than any other forum I've been on... But it's certainly not the same as the old board...

What I wouldn't give to have all the posts from the old forum. I bet there was more content there in a few years than all the years of this follow up forum. If anyone has a backup of the database or the raw forum threads, I'd be more than happy to do the work to rebuild the content. I tried to downl...

Yeah, that's where my mind went with it.

I just received my 444 Marlin back from Marlin repair shop. I had the Micro-groove barrel replaced with a Ballard rifled one. They charged me $155 which included parts, labor and return shipping. Only problem was I asked them to return my old barrel. They did not return it. Only shot it at 50 yards...

chadbr

Does anyone make competition barrels that work and look 'correct' on 94's or 92's?

I would love to get a tighter chamber for my 45lc.

chadbr

Those are great -- I need to go cut some horsehair... I would love to try that.

chadbr

I'll be very interested to see how long they stay in business "this time" with those prices...

I can't imagine who will buy them...

I have to wonder if the Remlin issues were "1.0" problems? I looked over at the Marlin Owners forum and most of the issues seem to be from mid last year into early fall. Very few reports from this year... I can understand the first few runs being 'rough'... Esp. with new facilities and emp...

Yea - it's the 1st time it's ever come lose shooting... almost lost the screw!

Just want to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Blue loctite it is.

Thanks guys.

chadbr

Looks fantastic... What did you use to polish?

chadbr

Thank you.

Chad

chadbr

Should I use loc-tite on my cylinder release? Or just torque it down?

chadbr

Links to order?

I learned 2 things in one thread! YES!

Made my day - thanks for the info.

Is it possible to shrink the chamber? Like relining a barrel? Would love to tighten the chamber on my 94 in Colt .45.

chadbr

You have to be on Facebook - and I'm guessing a Facebook "fan" of Colt... but there is some very cool pictures of some guys taking a Colt 1877 Bulldog Gatling gun through it's paces at SHOT show 2012. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.216006461825166.51040.109481702477643&type=1...

$1700 for a 94 30-30!?!?!!?

Oh my...

do not buy...

Send phone number and location to me. I will make sure it's disposed of properly.

Looks good... Love the 99.

chadbr

I purchased a 9422 w/ case coloring and custom "tex00nn" serial number. It's a fantastic rifle.

I think they do a mix of everything... But the one experience I had was positive.

I've also made several phone inquiries that were satisfactory...

Regards... Chad

I'm getting a wild hair... somehow thinking "one of each" sounds reasonable...

Anyone seen any reviews of the "new" Winchesters? Build quality? Fit and finish?

Just curious --

I enjoyed it !!!

Western + special effects. Not much to complain about there...

I remember about 4 years ago I went to our local Gander Mtn. and there were at least 10 rifles on the racks (several of them Winchesters unfortunately) with rust on them. There is no excuse for a weapon to be rusting on the rack...

Do you have a line on some at a good price? I was thinking I would try this: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Sellier-Bellot-8mm-Mauser-Bulk-Ammo-with-Dry-Storage-Box/753202.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=/catalog/search.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Nt...

Anyone have any experience with this brand? in 8mm?

I have my Grandfather's K98 he brought back from WWII - but I've run out of ammo (I only had about 30 rounds to begin with).

Most the 8mm I see around is S&B, but I have no idea about their quality.

Any opinions?

Thanks, Chad
