A friend of mine had a house fire last year and ended up having his house rebuilt. All in all, it worked out for him after all the fuss but he had a rifle that was a casualty. He has an old rifle, a first year 39A by the S/N from what I could find out, that lost a lot of bluing and ended up with som...

Here ya go. Good timing.

I bought a .475 BFR a little over a year ago. All I can say is it's really nice. It's put together better than my Blackhawk Hunters. It's not quite Freedom Arms level, but really, what is. The bark isn't that bad. Haven't shot any full-house loads, only the Hornady factory ones, but to be honest, it...

Or you can just remove that ugly thing, weld it up, and reblue it. Can't tell mine was even there on my .480 Ruger. :D http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x229/raven5_cc/Pumaboltsafety.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x229/raven5_cc/Pumabolt1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x229/raven5_c...

I show I normally watch, Bones on Thursdays, had a bad one this week. The body was found in a tar pit or something or other and the victim had been shot. They drug the pit and found various items, one being a gun. It was stated that it was a Ruger Mark III, and could have been there since 6 months a...

I'm trying to find a hat in the style that Eastwood wore in Unforgiven. It looks similar to many Outback style hats, such as a Cattleman or Territory style, but I was wondering if any experts out there knew exactly what style this was, and maybe brim size. Better yet, anyone have one like it? http:/...

Nice rifles. One of the great combat rifles actually. Mags are pretty cheap ($3-$5 each or so) since so many were produced. Basically a clone (with some improvements) of the HK 91 rifle, which is a clone of the Spanish CETME rifle before it. I'm currently deciding on a 'combat' rifle in .308 and hav...

Thanks much.

I don't mind the angle eject so much, but hate the dern safeties.

When exactly did Winchester start with the angle eject? Was it a certain year, started at a certain serial number (or there abouts), or dependent on caliber/model?

What about the rebounding hammer, crossbolt safety, and tang safety?

I remember when these came out, but they didn't interest me then.

What are your opinions on this rifle? Anyone have one? About how much do they go for now?

Alright, not to change the subject, but who all makes '92 style, pattern, copy or what-have-you rifles now? Also, who markets them, or will market them? Who's quality seems to be the best now? My 'dream' rifle is a .454 or .480 take-down model. I'd like a stainless model as well, but a blued and cc ...

You know, I've always wondered if those Ruger .44 Mag rifles could be converted to .45 Colt?????? :?: :?: :D :D The .45 ACP is doable easily enough, if they'd only do it. They aren't exactly new to levers, although they are kinda ugly honestly. Something midway between the '92 action and '86 action ...

Actually guys, I think you're barking up the wrong tree when it comes to hoping for another company to make a .454 rifle. I believe Ruger might offer the most success of asking a company to market one of those. If you all remember, Ruger did wonders with the Super Redhawk in .454 by just using the C...

Trying to find a copy of American Rifleman around a year ago, maybe two, that featured mil surp rifles turned into hunting rifles. Talked about the Enfield and Mauser 98, can't remember the others. Fear I loaned that copy out since I can't find it. :cry: I know it isn't more than 2 years old. The au...

Wow, I've been debating the semi-auto .308 thing for a year or two now. Every style and design has it's pluses and minuses. I've done enough research on the subject to fill a small woodshed. Love wood so the Garand and M14 style just do it for me. Like the others however, plastic has it's place. Dow...

I'm not an alarmist, however I am a realist. This PC trend/movement that is happening is going to be the end of us as a nation. The U.S. used to stand for something. What that is is slowly eroding and being forgotten. Just take a look around and rather than just accepting things as news of the day o...

I've always liked hats and have had a few Stetson's (couldn't afford anything other than regular shelf models at the time and fitted to my head). I'd like to get a hat but can't afford to spend several hundred on one. I wouldn't/couldn't wear it everyday so it is really a little extra for myself; ki...

Of all the things that our military does need, why are they starting with something that doesn't? What about the M4 carbines? Beretta M9? Just out of curiosity, though, it has to be staggering the number of M2s that would need replaced, considering the number of platforms the old girl is used. (Is t...

Hobie,

Could you elaborate a little? (or a lot ) Never heard much on the subject.

Here's a .480 rifle question I've had for a while. Why doesn't the .480 experience much of a gain jumping from handgun to rifle that the .45 Colt, .454, .44, and .357 do? Those others, if the test data is to be believed and most is from some very credible members here and on other boards, seem to ex...

I've got a blued .480 and really like the handling of it. I don't reload as of yet, so I can't offer any loading advice of my own, and I don't have a chrony yet so no velocity figures for you. Not wanting to step on toes or come off as a jerk, but a little clarification. Only the original .475 loads...

Glad to hear he's recovering well. Sounds like he is a real fighter. Having twin boys of my own, I can only imagine what you and his mom felt seeing him like that.

God bless you all.

I don't think it is such a bad thing. I wished they had saved the Winchester plant. Remington has and does make some very nice rifles and shotguns. The 700 is legendary as is the 870, 1100 and others. I'm not a big fan of their new imported rifles with the Remington name on them but that doesn't aff...

9422 Sold

Puma 480 still for sale

I finally posted the pics. I really need to sell these although I hate to. Thought I would post them here first before Gunbroker or other forums.

Winchester 9422. It is the .22 LR-L-S, not the magnum and has the checkered stocks. Very nice stocks. Bought it in late 80's if I remember correctly. I've shot a few hundred rounds through it and that is all. It is in mint condition with one exception: there is a very small ding on the right side en...
