    saddle ring mod

    I saw on the Hide, or perhaps somewhere else, mentioned a mod that replaces Marlin's cross bolt safety with a saddle ring. Any body know were this is available? That safety is the most bothersome thing Marlin ever came out with. Liability, I am sure. I forget it half the time, and when the...

    Annealing

    Recently obtained a Mauser in 8mm Mauser. All the ammo I find is rather pricey for flinging downrange, or it is corrosive. I have a good supply of 30-06 brass that I want to turn into 8mm M, but I do not have the means to anneal it. Any one in the Dallas Ga area, within 30-40 mi, that can...

    "Enhanced"

    So the women nowadays have plastic tits, inky shit scribbled in their skin, and scrap iron hanging from ears, nose, nipples, navel, and labia. This is supposed to enhance their beauty? Not in my consideration. I relate it to jungle tribesmen who mutilate their body for the sake of vanity. I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Safariland Holster

    I recently got a Safariland Model 1000 front break shoulder holster for 1911 type autos. It's condition is fair to good. Can any of you give me an approximate value? I need a shoulder for my Sig P220, but I do not like the front break.

    7.62X54R Brass

    Could some of you suggest where to get 7.62X54R Brass? My mind has gone more blank than usual. I tried Midway, but all they had listed was Norma, and that at over a buck each. Out of stock anyway. Thanks, David

    Hunting & Fishing B.o.a.t.

    I'm 72 years old, and I just got my very first motorboat. I'm having to do some restoration on it, and now I know that it is true that a boat is just a hole in the water that you throw money in. B.O.A.T. is for Bring Out Another Thousand.... Actually, I'm not spending a whole lot...

    Inventory

    Last week I went to visit a friend in Florida. His neighbor had died about a year ago, leaving several guns, (divided by the kids), and a large amount of reloading stuff. His wife told my friend that she wanted the reloading stuff out of the shop, and she didn't want anything for it. I helped...

    Annealing in the oven?

    I am fireforming 303 Brit to 410 shotshell. To do this, I have to anneal at least 2/3 of the case. Using a propane torch is time consuming. I can accept annealing the entire case, head and all, because of the low pressures I will be working with. Will a typical electric oven get hot enough...

    Loads for Garand

    Just yesterday, I got a new Springfield Armory Garand. Like new, anyways. I have almost no experience with the Garand, but I understand that it is picky about what it is fed. Do any of you have some favorite loads? I have several bullet weights from 125 gr to 200 gr. Any help?

    Gunsmithing Mauser Turkish

    I just picked up a 93 Turkish Mauser, and have started breaking it down for cleaning. The barrel seems to have a full length shroud around it. The barreled action seems too light for the barrel to be solid, about an inch in diameter. Is it a shroud, or am I just stronger than I think? If it...

    Hunting & Fishing Twins!

    My wife and I were at table this afternoon, and I saw movement out the door. Two beautiful spotted fawns. One lying down, and the other browsing in the weeds. No more than 25 yards from my dining table. Outstanding. I hope their still around this Fall!

    looking back

    Just finished off a bottle of Jamesons, and looking at some medallions I have gathered over the years. A 50th anniversary Red Rider Medallion that I got out of the stock of a well used Red Rider BB gun. !988 edition. Here on my desk I have a Cobray belt buckle that pre dates the weapons...

    Maggie’s Get your kid into archery

    I got this in my e-mail today, and I think it is a little funny. Around age 10 my dad got me one of those little badass compound bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our land sticking arrows in anything that could get stuck by an arrow. Did you...

    303 to 410

    Some time back I read that the 303 British brass could be used to make brass 410 ga shells. Anyone know the particulars?
