Off Topic--Side Lever
While I was in town today, I stopped at a pawn shop that I hadn't been in in a while. They have a Winchester Model 670 30-06 in the rack. It is the short carbine with hardwood stock, iron sights and an ugly camouflage paintjob. It looks like it would be handy carbine. Do any of you have any experien...

Re: Grandpa's Rifle ... and it has a lever!
That is a special gun for sure, Jim. J. Stevens and Son made a lot of "utility" guns back before 1915. They were tools for the common people. I have my Great-Grandpa's old J Stevens 16 ga single shot that he used around the farm. That gun had to put game on the table as well and it is very...

Re: Broken/stuck 22 short case
Great solution. Now the question is WHY/ HOW did said case part company...? I can't see it was an over pressure since the case capacity is so small... headslace excessive? Maybe a NO-GO & FIELD gauge is in order. If itis in spec for headspace and was my rifle I think I would polish the chamber....

Broken/stuck 22 short case
Maybe somebody has experienced this and has a easy solution. I bought a Model 1873 22 short (made in 1889) a few years ago. The person that sold it to me said it would shoot but not extract the hulls. I glanced at it and could see the extractor was gone and figured I could get it going pretty easy. ...

Get a Teslong instead- less money and much better resolution.

Re: Winchester 94 Commemorative 30-30... is good?
Tallboy, I have a regular 94 made in 67 that has the stamped lifter and have never had a problem with it. It has had a lot of rounds through it over the years.
As far as I am concerned, I would not let that or the fake brass (I don't remember what it really is) stop me from buying on.

Do any of you have any experience with the Lyman Borescope? I was looking at the reviews on Midway and they are mixed. Of the 12 reviews 8 gave 5 stars
and 4 gave 1 star because they couldn't link up to the unit. Nothing in between.

Joe, I have seen your posts on other forums. I have a 375 just like it and I need to get it out and shoot it.
Do you like that lace on recoil pad? I just bought one off of Amazon similar to that that I have installed on my Browning 1886 SRC, but have not shot it yet.
