Amazing what kind of crap the big boys can get away with, but then SAAMI is their professional association. Folks on the Swede lines have been howling about it for years. The European stuff is made...

Thanks RayinNH for jogging my memory! My head was beginning to hurt just tryin to remember Alladin; hope he's just gone into hibernation for the Wisconsin winter! Spent some time there as well as...

"Wolf Gold" anyone??? They just came out with their so-called premium rifle ammo @$7-9 mit boxer primed brass at Cheaper than Dirt, which is usually higher than everybody else. Same Yugo/Serbian...

Estimado Sr. BS, I'll second Sharshooter's congrats!-------even though my ageing computadora gagged for about ten minutes on that virtual herd of images. You sure got your 49 bucks worth hombre. ...

Finn45, that's a long c31" heavy barrel for that simple Handi-Rifle action. I had one as well as the 38-55 Target Rifle for 3-4 years. Rigged it up with all sorts of sights front and back, but it...
Deputy Al, I'm just jesting, of course. Under the pleasantly pernicious in fluence of our rangemaster, I have become a bit of a handgonne guy over the past year and a half, after being a 'rifleman'...
You guys are beating my newfound .380ACP passion to a pulp-----first I was pummeled by Starman's purple prose and now, even worse, the newfound object of my affection is being dissected by the...
Geeze Joe, you really are a .32 ACP freak(oops, forgot my Zoloft). Seems like sacrilege to me, putting one of them lil pills in my Ruger 32Mag SS. But, I have shot a lot of 32 S&W long in it with...
Thanks to all! As ole Will Rogers said, "We are all ignorant, just of different things." Some are just a little more loutish than others in expressing theirs.----- But, I'm sure, we are all doing...
So Dty. Al. where did you acquire this notion that the 32 ACP is inherently more accurate than the 380ACP????? Is that the ' conventional wisdom', your experience or je ne se pas de qua? Bring me...
My results have been a bit disappointing so far, using Water's Pet Loads article as a guide. Have a like-new version of the old Single Six with adjustable sights and a lil H&R 3" stubbie. Grooves...
Wayne, been shooting cast in Mak9s for years(separate event from "pocket pistol" just cause I wanna do it that way). In fact, don't mean to boast(heh, heh!), but I placed third in the 2nd Annual...
That's how I got into this pocket pistol thing! Got a Lil Keltec 380. It's recoil doesn' seem any stiffer than that of the 32, and it sure is a go-anyhere handgun, for those times when even the 44...
Don't know how I ever got into doing this, but it sure is challenging and fun---groups at fifty feet standing build character! Thought it was a bit esoteric----or just nuts---but have found that on...

I just about had myself talked into putting a couple ole 30-30s on consignment, since I never shoot them, a bolt and a single-shot that truly are accurate cast boolit shooters---consistantly under...

Scrounger, barrels are available through their accessory program; the post over on 'New Rifles' was the first I've seen on complete rifles. Odd sort of marketing, but some of the more perceptive(or...

Appreciate the info! Seems that the only Yugos I've been seeing around here have been the ones with the grenade launchers. Knowing that I'm a slow shootin kinda guy, one clerk pitched the easy...

Glad to see your post oksmle! Haywood speaks true on the twist--1:9.75".
The .310" rifling is a lot more user friendly than the .432" they put on the .44 Mag, and they have been making the latter...

Could you gents give me the 'short course' on SKSs. Never thought I'd be interested in one, but now that I have Savage 110 and Handi-rifle barrels in the 7.62X39, I'm thinking maybe I 'need' one...
Forum: Factory Rifles
Picked up a couple extra barrels when they had them on sale in September; one was in 7.62X39.
Guess that and the 500S&W are new chamberings for them this year. The boys over on Graybeard seem to...

Timely subject for me Buckshot, could you elaborate on "superb" and the loads that guy likes, even if it's with commercial cast boolits, in the 7.7?
Just as I was beginning to get a bit jaded on...
Dang, you shur done growed up fast, Victory Model-wise! Last I heard from you on the subject, you were talking about rebarrelin to 38 Special and callin it a Model 10. Must be the mature influence...
