There was one on Gunbroker a couple of years back that had been rebarreled to .300 Savage, and included two clips modified to fit the Savage case. It also had the right side receiver bridge modified...

Bah humbug. Maybe Uncle Larry Potterfield needs to open a few retail stores.

Richards does still offer a small ring 98 stock, listed on their action inlet page. Rifle-stocks.com.
TbG, I chono'd several lots of that ammo too, in a 29" barreled Turk and got similar results....
That new Bersa looks good. I may have to learn Spanish to understand what is posted on that great looking website.
Thank you.

303Guy: Grafs offers that PRVI bullet and some other suitable bullets, soft point and fmjbt. I have no experience with those bullets but may try them when my supply of other jacket bullets runs out.

Hello Redneckdan. I live in Spring Creek, across the hill from Elko, and the main bedroom community for Elko and the mining industry. I have a little different take on the undesirable elements here...

I am saddened. Bruce was a gentleman who gave of his time and experience freely, a truly great gift. He addressed others respectfully and seldom showed anger or displeasure. May God hold him in...

Mrs Urny is in Missouri, so I was able to vote no beans without precipitating an uprising. If you have to have beans, homemade pork and beans is the way.

I never met WILCO, so don't have an opinion. I voted anyway.

Thanks for posting the article. Aluminum gas checks are something I've been wanting to try, but the projects pile up, and making my own just isn't of that much interest. Glad to see there's one...

xssights.com offers a sleeve type mount that fits where the old rear sight used to be. It will work fine with your rear-sightless barrel. Click on the Mauser tab and look at what they offer if a...
I agree that saving 10% or more lead per shot is a good objective, and the mold chosen is probably a good one for that. A light recoiling load for the grandson is also a laudable goal. Hope you...
Farmershooter, did you try shooting the original configuration boolits as is without gascheck to compare with the new ones? Just wondering how much of an accuracy improvement is likely by milling...

Good points Love Life. Every generation has bemoaned the changes, perceived or real, in the next, and the next, as long as you care to repeat. I heard from my dads generation what you are hearing...

That would be a shame Ben. It's visually and mechanically one of the most appealing American rifles on the market. If it goes, the collecting crowd will shortly price these out of a lot of hands.

I guess I like a little more salt, so add the salt called for in addition to using bacon drippings. This mornings batch was excellent; but what more could you ask of a simple and quick recipe?
Have to put my .02 in on this one.
Commander .45 ACP
New Frontier 7.5" .44 Special
Cobra 4" .38 Special.
All by Colt.
Of all the gun writers, Skeeter was the best read for me. I am more...

My wife and I bought a 75 acre farm on the Ozark Plateau in Southern Missouri for this very reason. Actually she bought it while I was working long hours in Nevada's gold mines. She found a place...

You might spend a little time at www.castbullet.com. Juniors website has some good articles on the .30-30 and cast boolits. Time there is time well spent.

Thanks Char-Gar. A lot of information, usefully arranged.
Harter66, we won't be too far apart then. Between us we might be able to get something going.
Not only would we like to see more of you come to our shoot, but more shoots like it in other parts of the country would be a boost to the cast boolit community. We will relocate to southern...

Hot dogs and hamburgers, home made pork 'n beans, macaroni salad, ham fried rice, fruit salad, and various chips. I forget the other stuff.
Those mushrooms sound wonderful, Gianni.
