Look what Maggot just found.

I had been wanting a lever action rifle because...lever actions are cool. Lusted after the new S&W 1854 in 44 Mag. but the 44 isnt that great of long range cartridge.

And I'd been wanting aa .22 because...affordable (unless you get really serious), but I hate the cheaper new Savage's and Ruger's, mostly short barrels and the mags are expensive, cheezy, and dont last well...in my experience.

So I was a bit stumped, and then I stumbled across the:

Marlin 39 A, lever action .22 caliber. 24" barrel and great holy moly no mag, reliably tube fed. Made in 1941 in what I'd call overall good condition. Small spot of rust on the receiver but other than that good to very good. I got a deal because everybody was afraid of the rust. May just be an abrasion or somebody tried to sand it. Dosent concern me, for me this isnt a collector, its a shooter. The funny looking line in front of the receiver is really a finely fitted machine work, just shows up bad in the photo, maybe the flash. Range day tomorrow.

If you know anything about these, wisdom welcomed.

Likely the Earliest Marine Sniper Rifle that still exists, from 1909

I thought you guys might like this one. This rifle has a lot of historical value to the Marine Sniper program. This is likely the earliest Marine Sniper rifle that still exists.

If you are not aware, the first "official" US sniper rifle was the M1908 Warner Swasey. It was adopted in 1908 by Army Ordnance and was made by Springfield Armory starting later that year. The first production run of rifles, past a couple test rifles, were in the 352xxx and 353xxx serial range.

Basically, the whole premise of the Marine Sniper program started when the Marines decided to buy a handful of these first Army sniper rifles in 1909. This is the first time the Marines had tested an "official Sniper rifle" and from this ground work, it lead to the official Sniper program in 1917.

A neat point about this rifle. This is likely not only the earliest Marine Sniper rifle known, but it's also from the very first block of official Army sniper rifles produced. So it really served as the beginning of the sniper program for both branches.

Originally, the mounts for the Warner Swasey sights were staked on the inside of the receiver by Springfield Armory. Once the Warner Swasey sights became outdated, it was common in the era to remove the mounts and make the Snipers into a standard service rifle. Reading Ordnance docs of the time, they stated the staked screws were hard to remove and it was easier to just cut the mount off the receiver and leave the staked screw heads in place.

Even though I have never found the serial list of the 1909 shipment to the Marines, everything I have ever found leads me to firmly believe this was one of them. They would have for sure been in this serial range. I did find this rifle's serial number on a Marine Document from 1929 but it does not detail on the document if the serial is a SA or RIA number. But the odds are highly in favor that it is my rifle after the mount had been removed and it became a standard service rifle.

Looking at the rifle it has likely been rebuilt several times by the Marines, with the last time during WWII. It is a pretty stereotypical early WWII rebuild with a 1942 Sedgley USMC barrel.

Even though all that still exists of the original 1909 Sniper rifle, is the receiver, it's pretty likely the entire Marine Sniper program started here.

So far, this is the only known Marine Model of 1908 Warner Swasey that exists. There is one in the private collection of the Marine museum, but the receiver isn't original so I imagine it was put together for a display.

I feel very honored to be the caretaker of this rifle, and the legacy it left behind. I just wish this one could talk.

Prince George County PD runs stolen car ring

Login to view embedded media
The scandals even involves , wait for it - the gay female Latina DEI hire that the department celebrated during g woman’s history month.

Appears they were stealing cars- Mercedes specifically from an Airport rental service . Hot riding them around for a while because who’s gonna pull them over ? And then selling them to the local chop shop for about 25% of market value .

They cut out the middle man and didn’t hire local thieves or entrap them into stealing 30 luxury cars - nope did their own leg work to ensure max profits.

Where they messed up- they could have just “suspected “ the cars came from the proceeds of crime and taken them under civil asset forfeiture and auctioned them for full market value .

The Parker Hale M85 is a British bolt-action .308 sniper rifle, with an effective range around 900 meters. It fires from a 10-round detachable magazine, and weighs 12 pounds, telescopic sight included. The rifle was created after the Falklands War by Parker Hale Ltd in response to shortcomings in the contemporary Lee–Enfield L42A1. Although the Parker Hale M85 manufacturing license was sold to Gibbs Rifle Co., it has not yet resumed production. History. The M85 took part in a British Army trial to see if it could be used as a potential sniper rifle, along with the Accuracy International PM, Heckler & Koch PSG1, SIG Sauer SSG 2000, and Remington 700. The rifle lost by a slight margin to the Accuracy International (adopted by the British Army as the L96).
The M85's range is about 600 meters and has an 85% first round hit capabilities from 600 – 900 meters. The weapon also has a silent safety catch, a threaded muzzle for a flash suppressor, and an integral dovetail rail that accepts a variety of sights. d. The fiberglass stock is made by McMillan.
ANSWERED QUESTIONS:
Barrel is 1:10. Yes, the action is pillar bedded with acra-glas with hex head action screws so you can set the bedding tension with a torque wrench. Barrel is 24.5", same as the original m85. Match chambered, and action blueprinted by LRI (long rifles, inc.), none better. Groups will tighten up with a better shooter than myself.

Hating these Hornady 105gn BTHP Match 6mm Creedmoor bullets for reloading

I'm reloading some of these Hornady 105gn BTHP 6mm Creedmoor bullets in brand new Aphpa Brass. All brass was prepped. Using the L.E. Micrometer seating die with a K&M arbor press. Also using the L.E. Wilson expanding mandrel. Neck tension at .001. When seating these bullets I am getting an indent around the tip of the bullet. Called Wilson and the recommended I use the VLD stem. So I ordered one and swapped out the standard stem for the VLD stem. Same thing is happening putting a deep ring around the tip of the bullet when seating. Called Wilson back and they told me to send in the stem with a couple bullets and they are going to mod the stem to the bullet under warranty. The tech I spoke with says he does this quite often with the VLD stem. It's funny because I had also reloaded some with the Barnes Match Burner 105gn BTHP with the standard stem and I'm not having this issue with the Barnes bullets. I thought that it might just be the powder charge of 39.6gn of H4350 being compressed but I'm at the low end of the scale.

Has anyone ever had any issues like this and what was the result?
