I have a rifle in .38-55 with a .383" groove diameter, and it also wont accept a bullet seated in the case to chamber it. Rather than butcher the chamber I seat bullets out to touch the lands, and...

Reline might not be an option sometimes as these often have lighter barrels that might not have enough metal to drill out for a liner.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Neither did I! I happened to just check as I put in a "notify me" for the .22 barrel during their July sale, and knew it wasn't going to get filled during that sale. Surprised me too that they did an...

Got my GM .22 rifle barrel yesterday and the exterior finish is so smooth it's ready to blue without any work! GM always does a nice job on exterior finish, but this one is really over the top!

Not that tough to find, especially if somebody bought a gun chambered in it and was looking for ammo. Unless somebody did a lawyer written warning stamped on the barrel it's not that obscure to find....
Forum: Single Shot Guns
If it was mine I'd change the gun to a different, milder chambering. You can download of course, but someday somebody is going to shoot a factory load of unknown pressure.
Check the action for...

Had to sell the jet to buy more single shots!

They are rings, but usually referred to as external adjustment target rings. A number of big name target scope makers used bare polished aluminum rings. Unertl, Fecker, Litschert, and Davis all used...

In between another kitchen partial remodel I got the barrel off, polished, and rust blued. Used Mark Lee Express Blue so didn't take a long time between applications.

When I showed it to a friend at the show he told me he'd seen it before the show opened, but didn't even look at the price tag since he figured it was likely too expensive! I told him it's always...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I would have expected the same here also Charlie. Maybe not with issues, but usually around $2500 and no scope. I think a Litschert 10x is around $450-$550 when I see them usually. So $800 for a...

Thanks!
If I hadn't decided to not have my tables at the show this year I might have missed it! I rarely get a chance to look around the show if I'm stuck at my tables.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Yes, it happens often enough for me to still feel it's possible! This one was a grand total of $1350 with the scope.
The new to me Hepburn Match A from the show.

We had our annual 2 day Collectors Arms show at OAC today and Sunday. I didn't set up my for sale or trade tables this year as I wanted to peruse the show and not be tied to my tables. Turned out to...

GM's barrels are already fairly priced, and great quality. But take 25% off and they're one of the best gun bargains around.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I want a heavy full round barrel, so I'll keep it full sized. It should finish out about 26"-26.5" and I've got a new semi inletted forearm, or maybe a good used forearm that I'll fit to the round...

Just posting this to let people know I just saw that Green Mountain has all their barrels on sale at 25% off for the month of August! I was checking to see if they had my .22LR barrel in stock yet...

Long ago I had contacted the London proof house about old proofed guns, and the first thing they told me was their records only went back to post WWII as they too had been bombed and lost records in...

Got a return email from the museum at Birmingham, and was told all their records were destroyed during bombing in WWII. Why it took so long to tell me this when they were told when my Ballard was...

That's what intrigues me also! Considering the era it's a very advanced piece of machine work to do and repeat exactly the same for many of them!

.32-20 has recently reemerged at decent prices from Starline. I bought another 100 pcs. just to increase my stock since I own 4 rifles and 2 pistols in .32-20. It's never out of stock too long before...

Large frame Martinis are even better when converted to a great cartridge like the .45-70!

I wish there were any junk boxes at our shows still! Used to be a bunch of guys who would put out boxes of parts, and always found good items in them. Sometimes enough good items for me to make an...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
For your barrel/cartridge I'd consider a .32-20, .32 S&W Long, or a .38 Special. All great choices, although my prejudice would be towards the .32-20 chamber!
