    You can't go wrong dealing with Simpsons Ltd. I was also happy with my transaction with Robert at RWS who posted above.

    Misfire

    Yes but dispose of it HOW? The thing that torques me is how much live ammo of all sorts I constantly find at the range on the ground or in the brass can. Rimfire and centerfire! Throw this stuff in the trash or on the ground and it can end up hurting someone else. My squibs get refired until...

    CMP M40 auction

    If I may quote myself from post 14 in this thread! This is what auctions are set up to do. Take advantage of the emotional and spontaneous reaction in human nature. Thats why these are not closed bid and why they run so long. I would not be surprised if other well known auctioneer tactics...

    Nope, I believe that is who would be praising divine providence. Love it when an ordinary ( relatively ) guy gets over!

    World record 600 yd. 5 shot group. 0.349"

    No problem here at all just felt you misunderstood the point of my post and thus the disagreement. Its the yin and yang thing, credit were due does not imply universal credit.

    World record 600 yd. 5 shot group. 0.349"

    Well I said MOST and I didn't say it wasn't an achievement. I was merely pointing out to the gentleman that this record setting accomplishment ( specialized as it might be ) was an accomplishment none the less and should not be denigrated. There was almost nothing in the demonstration video...

    Authentic as what? Looking at the listing and reading this thread shows this barreled action to be a US marked Rem 700 which per Marty was purchased by USAF. Nothing posted either place indicates it was ever the property of the USMC. I am not aware that anyone else typed this item as M40. ( data...

    What's your favorite WW2 and older bolt rifle and why?

    I like the swedes and the K31s, IMO nothing else can touch them on average. You can still pick them up reasonable. I love 03s but they have gotten stupid expensive. With Swedes you will have to load your own as M94 ammo is like hens teeth. K31 would be my recommendation because you can still get...

    I shouldn't read this thread.....

    The stock damage is typical. It is from the Swiss snuffys knocking the snow off their hobnail boots!
