Re: For some, the Holy Grail.... That's a fascinating story. As I understand it there were only 600 guns total before American Derringer started making theirs. Correct? Not very many are out there in collections then. I have a friend with an unfired, hard chrome LM4, purchased new with...
Re: I have a case stuck! My first was a 7 mag. What a learning experience that was! No internet in those days. My second happened 30 years later while showing my son-in-law how to reload. (good instruction, Huh?) So I showed him how to drill and tap the primer pocket and use the threaded...
Re: New Mexico I am in Rio Rancho, work on Kirtland AFB. I've been away from shooting for several years now, but recently built a 260 that is a work in progress. It's tough having time to shoot these days, but there has been some progress with the new rifle. I intended it for long range...
Re: My bench as it were My bench has gotten bigger over the years so I could be more organized and now looks just like a bigger version of yours! Some say organization is overated; I wouldn't know. Mike in Abq
Re: Fuggit... I'm shooting Hornady bullets. I hear you all! I haven't been shooting much for the past several years, but recently decided to get more serious about it. I'm still finding it hard to believe the prices. Fortunately I had a fair selection of components when I started back up...
Re: wifes mauser Nice rifles! I used the same Richards thumbhole on a Sako A3 in 220 Rocket. Seemed to make sense since it was called the "wildcat" stock. It's my pride as i did the stock finish myself as you did. I fitted it to my hand/thumb/fingers/cheek so it fits perfectly. It is a...
Re: Inherent accuracy of 22-250 vs 220 swift When I built mine I decided on the swift as well. Then I stumbled on an article on the 220 Weatherby rocket. It's what Weatherby chambered his 22 bore in before he developed the iconic double radius belted magnum cases he's famous for. It's...
Re: SMACK the SMILEY Fall 2009 ENTRY OPEN NOW! Got mine, Jason. Thanks. Now to decide if I will score better using the tac rifle or the shotgun.... Mike in ABQ
Re: Alternative bolt action designs. If I understand your description correctly it sounds like a Weatherby bolt. It has 3 sets of 3 lugs one behind the other and locks with 60 degrees of bolt rotation. Mike in ABQ
Re: What do YOU use to lube your 700 trigger? "...It's supposed to evaporate quickly and leave the Teflon behind. I am thinking of giving it a try." I used to use a similar lube on my bicycle chain when I did a lot of serious riding. The carrier all evaporates so it's not messy. Problem...
Re: Comoptics The Russian snipers took out a whole mess of the German 6th army with that "carburetor and needle valve" scope. However bad it was, they made it work.
Re: SMACK the SMILEY Fall 2009 ENTRY OPEN NOW! Let the embarrassment begin again! Paypal sent for 2 CF and 2 RF. Thanks for running this, Jason. Mike in ABQ
Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - Targets Due Aug 24! I was loading a lot of pistol ammo for PPC and silhouette shooting a while back and I was too lazy to set convert back to 308 so I bought some South African surplus to use as practice ammo. That stuff was great! It shot about an inch which...
Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - Targets Due Aug 24! This was the only brightspot on an otherwise disappointing lottery ticket. Hey DK, I had 2 rounds that wouldn't chamber as well during the shooting of this group. Now there's some evidence of galling on one bolt lug. Must not have been a...
Re: SMACK the Smiley SUMMER 09 - ENTRY OPEN NOW!! Glad I'm not the only one who blows targets. I set up and shot the RF target with my contender and wasn't too unhappy with the results. Then I went for the CF with my 260. A little hot breeze had come up and I didn't allow for it and fired...
