Rifle #4 has been sold
Price for carbine reduced to $600

I got some brass I'd through in

Hi all,
Regrettably, life things have happened at home and I'm looking to sell my handful of Mauser 1871 variants. Being 1871 Mausers they are all classified as antiques requiring not FFL transfer...

Greetings all,
Growing up I remember hearing that the "Cleaner" in Williams Cleaner Bullet meant that is scraped fouling along with it while it went down the barrel- a noun. Recently I learned that...

Still available

Hi all,
Got this in a trade a year ago hoping it would spur me into finally taking up reloading. Long story short, I never found myself using it. So I'm hoping to give it a better home where it can...

Much obliged for all the input, folks. I guess the whole line that "rifled muskets were far more accurate than the smoothbores that had preceded them" is a statement wholly relative to that...

Hello,
For modern conical shooting, it seems that most twist rates are 1:28 or thereabouts. Rifles from the Civil War were in the neighborhood of 1:72-something now considered best suited for round...

Yikes, I'm really glad I happened to scrub the shell out of the chamber, a visual inspect didn't reveal it.
My understanding is that these barreled receivers were from Gewehrn1888/05s, so firing...

Oh for sure. I'm not setting up these barreled actions to take 8mm Mauser. Gonna put chamber adapters in them for pistol calibers and/or make some very odd looking muzzle loading squirrel guns.

It was just a barreled receiver so no bolt, unfortunately.

Hi all,
A little while ago I posted that I found a bullet stuck in the bore of surplus 1888/05. Yesterday I had some time on my hands and decided to scrub that batch barreled receivers down. ...

Oh and I should add, those are for the nog standard English makes. RTI (who I'm not a huge fan of, full disclosure) last I checked charges a $100 premium for a Savage or Long Branch.
Had a Long...

The new No4 mk1 milsurps hitting the market now sold from the big C&R vendors start at 350. Ones in respectable condition are hundred more. And those puppies seem to be selling well.

Echoing what Outpost75 said, and I would be that person if you're interested, of course.

I took a look and the heel is definitely jacketed. I guess that makes it all the more curious— I got the barreled receiver direct from Century Arms. This batch apparently was (at some point, at...

Bore shows no damage from the squib or anything else. Just a bit cruddy from having sat around with one end plugged up. I'm still flabbergasted that there as a bullet just sitting there. Has anyone...

Ran some figures on it. It's 27.54mm high and, at its widest point, 8.15mm around.
Weighs 173 grains.
The copper jacket that engaged the rifling looks stripped away in places, leaving a shiny...

Hi all,
I've been working on a series of projects taking old barreled receivers and trying to make them functional firearms again.
In my most recent acquisition, an 1891 dated Loewe 88/05, when...

It's long been a goal of mine to build my own gun from gathered parts cobbled together. I recently purchased a number of old barreled receivers of some 19th century bolt actions. French Gras and 1871...

First thing that comes to my mind is maybe it had something to do with heat. The rounds in the mag would be exposed somewhat to the heat generated by the round being fired and if you're doing fairly...

So in the month you've had it, how do you like it?

I love the M1 carbine. It's old tech, so that comes with the need of a bit of extra attention (keep it lubed).
It's handy, intuitive to operate, light. The only downside to it (as I see it) isn't...
