I have a M1A/m-14 barrel marked MFR. what company is this? Thanks, Pat.

I was at the MAX show today and a vendor had a Redfield 3x9 Accurange M-40 scope. The scope tube and bell was green colored but the front bell portion was a little lighter shade of green. The vendor said the scope must have been repaired in the field. The magnification ring was black. The scope...

I had Nick from Grand River Tactical make me a tactical guncase based on the AICS 2.0 bag to fit my short barreled single shot Sako pistol (similar to the Rem. XP-100). I've had the bag for about 8 months and it is a wonderful built bag. But I should have had Nick put in a padded divider. Gun...

I have a Springfield M1 Garand which appears to have all Springfield parts except for the barrel. the only markings on the barrel are: SPA SPT PN PA. These markings are where the usual barrel markings are stamped on Garand barrels. The serial # of the rifle: 28253xx. I used my CMP throat...

I had the opportunity to be at the WV Cabella's last evening and peered through their EURO brand rifle scopes. I looked through the 6-18x50mm and the glass was superb. I'm not kidding. They are fully multicoated and have etched reticles (Duplex or EXT) the EXT reticle has a series of lines and...

Does anyone make custom cleaning rods in either a Stainless Steel (coated or uncoated) for specific lengths and calibers? PAT.

I see on this forum and may other forums that have a fiream selling section where some people are trying to sell their very expensive rifles and handguns with a label like this: New fiream just 20 to 60 rounds through it to function test. Are you kidding me..... who buys a fiream from a gunmaker...

My reloading book does not have this caliber. what is the trim length for 6-5x47 Lapua. Thanks. PAT.

I have a large bolt action pistol in 6.5x47 Lapua with a 15" Walther barrel and is topped off with a Zeiss Conquest 4-14x50MM scope. I'm looking for a soft tactical case without magazine pockets or hard case to fit. Dimensions: Pistol is 30" overall length, 15" high and 2 1/2 deep. Sort of looks...

In an earlier post I mentioned I have a Sako L-579 Medium Action round top receiver in the white. I'm thinking of making a pistol with this receiver. I'm thinking of 6.5x47 or .358 Mag. I've eliminated .22-250, 6.5x284 and 7mm-08 since I have these calibers in other rifles and TC Contender. Any...

I picked up a complete Sako L-579 barreled action in the white in .243 Win. The serial number is thre digits: #190. The receiver top isn't tappered. Looks Like Mauser action to me. The barrel appears to be new an dated 08/02/83 and PMK on the underside of barrel. Is this a decent action for a...

I just got my hands on a Marlin 1895 45/70 Caliber. I'm looking to scope it with a low powered scope. This will be for hard hitting brush gun for distances of 100 to 150 yards (maybe 200 yards). What scope choices will be good and tough enough to handle the 45/70 recoil?

I have a chance to buy a Dillon 550 progressive relaoder complete with with .45 cal and 357 Mag. dies for $350.00 that was used only a couple of times. I don't know a lot about progressive reloaders and have been shooting .45ACP and .357 Mag a lot more and it's getting expensive. Is this a good...

I was at the range today finishing up shooting my SA M1A NM & Bushmaster AR when a guy arrived and noticed my M1A and commented that it was nice and that he had just bought one from Gunbroker for $1,600. While walking out to the 100 yard line I explained to the guy that his rifle should do about...

I do not have an FFL. If I sell one of my rifles to a person out of state can I ship my rifle to an FFL dealer of the purchaser’s choice to complete the transfer? Or do I have to use an FFL in my state to ship to purchaser’s FFL? I live in PA.

I got a chance to use my Iron Brigade Armory Sniper Shooting Platform today. For my first time I shot from a solid bench. Since I wasn't shooting prone I had to use a piece of 2" foam underneath the platform. I was shooting my M40A1/USO ST-10 combination and using Fed. Gold Metal Match 168...

Anyone get their hands on the Weaver's new Tactical scopes: FFP 3-15x50mm, mildot 30 mm tube or the 4-20x50mm. They call these the Super Slam Tactical series. The only place I saw prices was on the Firing Line Inc., website. $753.00 for the 3-15x50 and $840.00 for the 4-20x50mm. I know these...
