    Front stuffers and pumpkin slinger picture thread…

    Thank you for showing this rifle. It is a work of art and … as a Range Officer, I prefer a wooden ramrod for the safety check🙂. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.

    long lost Hebrew hammer

    Back in WW2, a batch of .30 cal ammo sent to the Pacific theatre reportedly fouled so badly that only the Johnson rifle, Johnson LMG and the Browning 1919 could use it! That sort of ammo tolerance has to be a point in favour of the Johnson system.

    Vintage gun cabinet restoration.

    Beautiful work. Saving a piece of first class joinery.

    Hunting & Fishing Your “go to” hunting rifle?

    Good combo. Do you tend to leave the scope on it's brightest setting for dawn and dusk hunting?

    More not snipery, but vintage

    Sorry. Addressed wrong person. Bit worn out, coming up to Christmas and bouncing between work sites. Have a good week!

    Kimberly 82G. I assume that it is the standard American 3/8" groove designed for target diopter sights.

    By the way ... what is the dovetail type on those rifles?

    I really want to build one of these...

    Good test. If it went perfectly, you would probably be worried. Thanks for the updates.

    Ballistics of 7.62x54R and 7.92x57 ammo

    Decades ago, Norma made an 8mm Hollow-point target projectile that was reportedly based on the sS 198gr projectile. Din Collings RIP told me that it was an excellent bullet. I suspect that obtaining a packet of those projectiles would be almost as difficult as finding .577 Rewa ammo!

    Are you getting a pony or sled dog to pull it along?

    I really want to build one of these...

    Long time since I had to cut fuze safety and crimp a detonator to the fuze BUT six (6) inches might be a tad short for the first length off the roll. Too late at night here, to drag out my old SME supplied information.

    Good solution for ‘porch pirate’ issues, after you steel plated the front entrance of your house😁.

    French FRF2 Sniper rifle

    That sounds good. I suggest that you post them in this thread and that you also start a new thread with the title: French FRF1/FRF2 manuals and related documents. I will, meanwhile, happily practise my French comprehension with the first document. My surname is French but the relevant...

    Excellent resource. Thank you.

    Early Designated Rifleman

    No issues with lead cleanup. Makes me wonder if some of the smaller Swiss ranges could change over to crossbows where they cannot afford to upgrade lead containment.

    JH Hall Rifle Build.... It's vintage... if not totally snipery...

    Are you going to dress up as a US dragoon, like Phil Spangenberger did for his Hall rifle article, many moons ago😁?
