Movie Theater Midway Movie
From the trailer it sounds like it is the story of Ens. Frank O’Flaherty and his gunner, AMM1/C Bruno Gaido. Good story with sad ending. Gaido saved the Enterprise on 1 Feb 42 when a Japanese aircraft attempted to crash into Enterprise...Gaido left the catwalk and climbed into the rear of a...- Dan M

Range Report Federal GMM 185gr Juggernaut
Lapua 185 Scenar .308 ammunition has always shot well for me out of a TRG-22 and would be a good control to rule out the rifle. It chronos around 2475. Than being said...If you can chrono the GMM it should readily apparent whether the ammo is the problem.- Dan M

Steyr SSG 69
This is why we shoot 10 round groups if you want an honest assessment of what the rifle, anmo and operator can do...speaking for myself, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.- Dan M

Steyr SSG 69
That SSG will drive tacks...in other words it will shoot to the ability of the operator. Check out the Optics PX...both the Kahles scopes for that rifle are up there for sale...a 6x ZF69 and a 10x ZF84- Dan M

Steyr SSG 69
I think most would agree that shooting 5 shot groups is the minimum...10 shot groups garners better data. I usually use a Harris S with a Pod Lock or if I am really trying to eliminate me as a factor, a machine rest and heavy rear bag like a Protektor DR bag. This is 5 Berger 105 Hybrids out of...- Dan M

Steyr SSG 69
Don't own one but have done some shooting with them... light weight and accurate. The trigger guard is a weak point, prone to cracking.- Dan M

Could be marked 1894, 1895. 1896 or 1898...looking at pics on my iPhone..makes it harder to evaluate images vs monitor. Hard to tell if it is the first 8 in the date of last 8 from 1898.- Dan M

Probably an 8...look along the same plane as that number to see other traces of the original stamped markings. The 9999 was hand stamped and not original...isn’ In the correct location as well.- Dan M

Not an original s/n. Receiver markings have been polished out. You may be able to see vestiges of the original markings using strong light and looking at the receiver at an oblique angle.- Dan M

Premium gunsmithery on a U.S. Springfield Armory M1898 Krag Jorgensen
Sorry, confused the two rifles depicted. Model 1892 US krag rifles weren’t marked with the word model, just a date. The Model 1901 rear sight and correct handguard shows the rifle was modified. How long is the barrel? Model 1892s originally had a flat muzzle crown, and were fitted with a...- Dan M

I am not tracking you on that...stocks were never serialized. The final acceptance stamp JSA over the year (J. Sumner Adams) will be on the left side of the stock and a script P in a circle on the bottom of the wrist. Occasionally stocks are stamped with rack numbers.- Dan M

I should have posted earlier. P-14
Also, all Pattern ‘14 rifles were initally marked on the side of the receiver...Eddystone rifles were marked ERA over the serial number for the entire production run. Winchester rifles were marked W followed by the serial number in a single line for the entirety of mfg. Remington rifles...- Dan M

First one I have seen with the Remington Manufacturer’s marking right above the s/n.Too bad that one wasn’t in better shape...I have two Eddystone Pattern ‘14s in like new condition. Same...- Dan M

Sidearms & Scatterguns Mle. 1935A. Anyone have one?
What you are looking for is the French MAC mle 1950 in 9mm Parabellum. Mechanically similar to the Mle 1935a but designed for the more powerful cartridge- Dan M
