A friend bought 3 of their "target scopes" against my advice to buy 1 GOOD scope. They all self-destructed within a year due to the
vicious recoil of the .223 AR15. Reticles collapsed in a heap...

3 in the 14th Virginia Cavalry, here. All 3 wounded in action, my g-grandfather imprisoned on Johnson's Island since his capture at Winchester, VA, Sept 9, 1864.
Mighty glad to make your...

Years ago, I read an extensive thread (possibly here?) on converting 8x56R Berdan primed brass for 209 primers, back when the M95 Straight-pull
Mannlicher rifles were not common and the original...

Call me a heretic, but my pristine, early Savage 23 with a perfect bore (.25-20) got a nice set of Unertl scope mounts added.
They are period-type, and it makes a heck of a nice rig. The purpose...

.25 ACP. Mystery solved! :smile:

Yes, Please!! Anything you care to share, especially about factors affecting accuracy. Thanks very much!
John

Rodwha,

Well said, and I wholeheartedly agree!

Real life ain't "perfect" at all times...

Graf and sons in Mexico, MO import the proper diameter bullets and brass for the 8x56R. Many of these rifles have significantly pitted bores, so I'd be sure to clean his THOROUGHLY and see what...

Sounds great! Thanks for sharing!!

I started with the M16 in 1977, and have shot them extensively in competition and otherwise, and still consider the original GI 20's with aluminum followers the best ever made. I've seen them take...

Very nice indeed! Any suggestions on how to find these if you don't know a roofer?

Thanks,
John

Based on my experience with 'em, you were spared an ordeal...

I had one of the Kleinguenther Deluxe K-22 rifles back in the 80's. As per their reputation,
it was EXTREMELY accurate, shooting 1" average or better at 100 yards for several 5-shot groups with...

Hi, Chargar,

I enjoyed reading your post and was curious as to which powder you used?
Could there have been a typo? I'm not familiar with 337...

Thanks.
John

I have seen recent production rifle powder that was baked in an oven at 125 degrees F for 2 hours, three times as part of a lab test to check for degradation.
The powder turned from standard...

Williams does indeed make a Foolproof just for the BB94; the back is machined to match the
extra-thick portion of the rear of the receiver. They are well-made sights... much better, in my...

Good info, John Boy,

Thanks very much!!

Hi,
I've not used a Lee Perfect Powder Measure, but have heard they can do very well with fairly large granule powder. I've read reports where their loose tolerances (that make the larger-grain...

Howdy! Interesting info -- How does one buy the Heilmann sight? I've not seen one listed for sale.

Thanks,
John

A gunsmith friend of mine got into prairie dog hunting, and settled on getting 2
identical SS Savage 110 single-shot, heavy barrel, laminated stock rifles. One came pillar bedded (this was several...

MAN, it sure can be accurate!! In the .223, some of the tightest average group sizes I've seen have been with the original AA2200, out at 200 yards. Velocity
wasn't as high as some other...

Why not just start with .25-35 brass? It is readily available and no expensive form dies required...

John

Hi, folks,

Does anyone here know of a good source for Mosin Nagant parts?

Thanks much,
John

Guys, those pictures of that wonderful, wide-open country are just killin' me. I can only imagine the opportunities y'all have for long range shooting. VERY VERY nice!!

John

Interesting idea! I don't have any experience with walnut hulls, but a friend used to load up his .22 Lever-action with CCI snake-shot, and then go "wing shooting" in his barn, shooting wasps out of...
