    Dick, I think the best thing you can do is just send it to me and I'll replace it with a good single-shot Handi-rifle in .243 so you won't have to get new brass. It's all shiny and perfect and all,...

    Not a Mannlicher, standard stock length if that's what you mean. That's why the second stock won't work. That will make a 2-piece exhibition grade dream.

    Wood porn!

    Hey folks,

    I thought I would share a bit of "Wood Porn". Goodsteel is building a rifle for me, and this is the blank that the stock will be made from.

    Hey folks,

    As the person for whom the rifle is being built, I would like to weigh in. I am not on here often; I lurk more than I talk, but I enjoy my lurking and in the process I have met a...

    My deal of the year so far!

    Early war German 98. All matching numbers, $120. Thinking about color case hardening, butterknife bolt handle, set triggers, and a nice piece of fancy Walnut with some nice checkering.

  10. Hey folks, This isn't a bullet question, what do I have? Parker-Hale experts needed!

    Hello all,


    I think it's an M87. It's in about 99% condition, and has an "Ultralux" scope on it. The glass is identical to that of the Kahles that I have on my SSG, both are 6x42, but this...

    A sincere thanks to Goodsteel, not sure where else to put this.

    Folks,

    Maybe Quickloads is right and all our 10mm guns are wrong? It would be great if my 1076 could push a 180gr bullet at 12,000 fps or so.
