    Imperial Sizing Die Wax

    I used to use the liquid lanolin alcohol recipe that is everywhere on the 'net but have switched to just using liquid lanolin. I put a few drops on my palms and roll 4-5 pieces of brass between my palms, I add a few more drops about every third set of brass. The reason why I use this method is...

    FRF2 Sniper Rifles for sale

    They have to given how many times they get dropped, you don't the weapon to be inoperable after being dropped and picked up by your foes that just would not be the French way. Maybe I should re evaluate my statement about ugly, maybe French guns look good when fondled by a metrosexual wearing a...

    Boyds offers a lot of bang for the buck, some are a little fat but they can be put on a diet with a belt sander or rasp elbow grease. If you like the kids erg go ahead and re stock it who cares it is your gun, time, and money.

    Dialing in a M70 - what does it take?

    I believe they retain most of their mass, although I have not recovered a hammer bullet after shooting an animal the last bear I took I hit quartering towards me and the exit was just beyond the rib cage. The exit was about 2 inches in diameter. It was not a big bear but the gun was sizeable a...

    Dialing in a M70 - what does it take?

    I would recommend trying Hammer bullets as they seem to be very insensitive to jump and I and others find they are very effective on the animals that get hot with them. Most people find it very easy to find accurate loads, I have used them in my 375 Ruger and a couple of 30-06 and I found loads...

    Are Mechanical powder measures fading in popularity?

    I don't have nearly enough fingers for that method, and having the open flame around powder might cause me to lose a couple.

    Pre '64 receiver for custom build?

    I have bought pre-64's recently for about $700 in good condition. I did not know three-position safeties were available. I did not say anything disparaging about Defiance actions in fact I bought a few of them early and I really like them on my comp guns. It is easy to say anything other than...

    Pre '64 receiver for custom build?

    In my mind one highly desired feature for a hunting rifle that the Defiance action lacks is a safety that locks the firing pin. The trigger you install on the Defiance will provide the safety by locking the trigger. We rely on safeties on our hunting guns so many hours that I like the...

    opinions on this barrel quality

    When we buy rifles that are complete for less money than it costs to purchase a premium barrel blank and have a good gunsmith install it how can we expect to have a barrel on the rifle that is without blemishes? There is a reason why cut-rifled barrels cost over $300 and it can cost the same to...

    Help identifying .270 win rifle

    Bolt shroud looks a lot like a swedish mauser either a model 96 or 38, same action 38 is the carbine version. The pre-98 Mausers, often referred to as small ring Mausers, are not thought to be able to handle modern high pressure rounds, the 270 definitely falls into this category. The swedish...
