I have a JohnUnertl 4 power Hawk scope. Would it be safe to use it on a 30.06 rifle? I remember having an old Weaver years back and being told it was for rimfire rifles only. I would hate to ruin a Unertl. Broadsword

Re: Vintage Lake City Match ammo value Thank you for the education. I guess I'll hang on to it for now. Any idea if a couple hundred rounds of .45acp made in 1939 at the Frankfort Arsenal has any collector value? I found them years ago in an old out building on some abandoned mining property...

Hey guys. I figure this is the best place to ask about this. I just came into a 20rd box of Lake City Match M118 ammo. It is in like new condition and unopened. Date is 1968. Any collector value here? Thanks, Broadsword

Re: Al Mar Warrior I put it on Ebay this afternoon. It's already heading up to $300.00 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230631613543&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Broadsword

I have come into possession of an original Al Mar Warrior fighting knife. It is brand new in the original box with satin black finish. Can anyone tell me about it? Is it a rare collectors blade I shouldn't use? Is the black finish more rare than the stainless? What might it be worth in today's...

Re: .338 WM / .338 LM Just curious. Picked up a Browning Medallion in .338 WM and didn't know the differences in the two. Thanks Broadsword

Could a Browning A Bolt .338 Winchester Mag be re-chambered to .338 Lapua Mag? Thanks, Broadsword

Re: Mosin Nagant Build question Anyone mind if I drag this thread back out? I'm looking at a project Mosin Nagant that will require a re-barrel as well. What I intend to do is have a rifle built that, from outward appearance looks like a WWII era PE sniper. On the inside I want to have a...

Does anyone make a high quality reproduction of the US M1918 MKI Trench Knife? Broadsword

Re: Rack is optional? My son says that is EPIC! Broadsword

Re: Looking for a good riflesmith Well, as it always seems to happen, my rifle has taken another direction. I'm now dropping it in a McMillan GP/HTG I picked up here on the hide for a song. Still going with the Williams bottom metal. I now have the 1966 ADL walnut stock and vintage trigger...

Re: Remington scope base question Perfect. Thats what I need. Does anyone have experience with the DNZ mounts? They're aluminum??? Are they strong enough? Broadsword

Is there a scope base available that uses all four receiver screw holes? I'm talking about the Leupold one piece and Redfield JR type bases not the MKIV or Badger type tactical bases. I know about the one IBA has on the web site. I'm just looking for something that isn't upwards of $300 Thanks...

I have a rifle project I'm working on and will be needing a quality gunsmith. I have a Remington 5R barrelled action I'm putting into a vintage 1966 ADL stock. The rifle will be set up with Redfield JR mount and rings with a John Unertl scope. I need a smith who I can trust to inlet the 1966...
