“The Ferguson Rifle” was a good fictional story of a young man with one of those Revolutionary War assault rifles…..
I don’t recall the author, though.

That sounds like the one I had.
But it did it after a box or two of shells.
Slap the recoil pad to cock the second barrel.
While pointed down range of course.
I let mine go with full disclosure....

I do.
And sometimes turn it into something else first.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240417/d8e936b4e58399f707d8e788a8fc09b6.jpg

Last month a pair of them were doing “Synchronized Sex Swimming” for hours.
I’d never seen that.
Scratch that one off the bucket list[emoji16]

.22 Short HP is my favorite Bullfrog and squirrel round in revolvers and bolt action rifles. I brush out the chambers occasionally.

Try another brand to isolate the answer. If it splits also, that gun has a problem.
But it looks like bad brass to me.

Now you’re just bragging!
Both those rifles are nice,
Those Burris Mini scopes are good to go.
I had a Mini 6x on my BRNO K98/ Shaw 8mm sporter when it was my only deer rifle.

The part about welding the front half of a Springfield 1903 bolt to the rear half of a 1917 bolt is interesting.

I’ve gotten the “dry eye” from gas coming back a few times over decades of shooting.
I’ve been lucky; I wear Beretta shooting glasses now that I’m older and marginally smarter….

I’ve wondered if the 35-30 could be loaded using .35 Remington dies- neck sized only- but still.
I don’t have a 35-30 rifle or .35 Remington dies- so I’ll keep wondering.

The one Luger that I’ve owned was a 1923 Commercial Safe/Loaded 7.65 ( shooter grade)
I used 100 gr Speer Plinkers and had to use the maximum load for 85 gr bullets to get it to function.
Neat...

Lately I’ve been shooting an old large propane tank @ 100 yards( I vented it with a .223 first- the valve is open)
About 1/4” steel.
The 38-55 and 44-40 ring it like a bell!

Double A’s with 7-1/2 or 8 shot no matter if using .410, 20 or 12 gauge at the old O’Brian/Knox City hunts of my youth.

Long, long ago on a HOT day…I told my barely bilingual helper that “ I need a raise”!
He made a fist and asked “How many foots”?

If you get a chance, check out this rifle on Sarco’s website. Made for the Honduran market in the late 1930s by Bannerman’s.
Parts is parts!

The rifle should dictate the scope choice.
I like a straight 4x 1” scope the best for my hunting bolt action and semiautomatic.22 rifles. I’m currently using a Bushnell Sport view4x, a Valor...

I started buying primers around 1973 or so.
I believe that the Cascade diamond pattern box is pre 1970s for sure.
