Batt is and CW, you have goals. Well done. I’m on the hunt for the WSLs as well.

I agree on the Winchester design ethos back then being some of the prettiest produced. I have an 1890, two 94s, a 70, and a 1905. Saw a 62 with deluxe wood on the wall at a Kansas gun shop 2 weeks...

It's a Ruger 10/22 that's been fancied up a bit. All the controls are the same and the rotary mag looks like a twin. I'm not knocking the Ruger, but a lot of things can be done to these rifles with...

I’d throw Henry into the ring as well. Much easier to find, lifetime warranty, and I love mine. Action is smooth, either blued/case hardened/brass receivers, optional HEAVY octagon barrels.

Just wanted to say how nice and easy it was to do business with Wisner's. I was looking for an ejector for a Remington 788 in 3030. Not only was it in stock, they MACHINE the new ejector. The factory...
I have been staring and drooling at these little j frames!

Same here, got them as a bday present from the wife. Don’t know how I got along without it

I have 3 of the BSA Sweet 22 scopes. All are serviceable. Fairly clear glass and adjustable objective for parallax. On the CZ455, I have a Mueller 8-24 power that is parallax adjustable as well. It...

I think we all had the same idea. Cast up 25lbs of the ELCO boolit today. I’ll finish the other 25lbs next week.

I understand the seasoned barrel crowd and the clean every use crowd. I'm a mix. Some of my rifles only see lead rounds and they get patched but only brushed once a year. Two of my rifles get a mix...

I suppose that could be done with a strong 2 part epoxy. I hadn't thought of that, and that thought is a good one.

I'm not saying I don't invest in a 401k and a Roth IRA. I do. But I do look at most of my gun purchases with eyes on not losing money, including inflation. It's worked so far and has introduced me to...

I don't own one, but they seem to be a nicer 340. They use a threaded barrel like the 340, same as the newer 110 and Axis models. The bottom metal is the same and they are removeable mag fed. If...

I really love my Axis in 223 and think it deserves some siblings.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Ferg, if that's the case, I'm gonna fill the new safe with Axis rifles and wait 30 years! I just picked up a 340 yesterday and a 788 a few months ago and they aren't anywhere near the $65 they were...

I don't think graphite is gonna hurt the brass. I do however clean my tumbler bowl once a year. Lots of built up carbon and wax. Get some dish soap and hot water and scrub with a Magic Eraser...
I use a grease on the slide rails and locking lugs. I use the same grease on lever gun receivers, bolt actions, etc. on bolt actions u smear a ver light coat on the rails and a light colt on the bolt...

All this conference realignment drives me nuts. The teams are all going to the sec or big10. Some to the big12, but eventually it will all be those two conferences and everyone else will be left out,...
I wouldn't think it adds strength to anywhere that matters. Added strength in my mind happens around the top strap, crane, crane housing, and barrel threads.

CCI SV is my go-to for standard 22lr. It's what I use the most of. I used to used RWS for my CZ455. It was expensive and I wasn't shooting in competition and the difference wasn't worth double the...
If I had to have one pistol and give up the rest, the CZ75 would occupy the holster every day. Over the Glock, the Rugers, the Smiths, and the Colts, it would be the one I keep. Its stupid accurate,...

The ourside portion of the lock just turns counter clockwise to remove, this is done for replacing batteries. Taking the interior panel of the door off allows you to remove the base mounting plate of...

Got it. Just wanted to know in case I have a similar problem with the few I own!

The one I got is different than that link. It's bigger with a different lock and is grey.
