I have a CZ 527 Hornet, very accurate with 35 grain Hornady vmax and Lil Gun powder. Getting close to 3000 fps, great red mist factor. Also, I have a Savage 23 in .22 Hornet, it likes the 4227 powder better and shoots almost as well as the CZ, which is pretty darn good for a rifle made in 1932. I ha...

Winchester 67 Youth, purchased new by me at age 8 or 9, this would have been about 1948. Still have it.

From recent experience, if you buy a Marble's tang sight and it wont get enough elevation for you, just send it in to Marble's and they will install a taller staff and send it right back to you at no charge. Best to call first.

I live in Yuma, AZ in the winter and Lander, WY in the summer. I am retired and dont do a darn thing!!

Very inspiring post indeed, thanks very much.

Too bad we will never see these things in the MSM.

You fellers need to know one of the major downsides to being retired: You wont have the weekends to look forward to anymore.

I have had absolutely no problem with mine, it has become one of my favorite rifles.

Firelapping will do absolutely nothing for your problem, your problem is in your loads. I dont know exactly what it is, but it's in your loads.

Well guys, I have my first weapons audit at 8:30am Thursday. Two LEOs come around inspect my safe, rifles and ammunition. They want to make sure my records, their records and what I actually have are all consistent. This is a random thing and I have no idea what to expect. Will let you know how it ...

I have two smaller safes by Liberty, a 30 gun and a 24 gun.

For your generator, you might look at the Onan's that run on propane, since you will have the propane right there anyway. Also check into a dedicated panel for your water well pump system so it operates independantly of your main system, might be more efficient. Also, most people I know who have gon...

Kind of a long shot here, (levergun pun!), but you might check to see if the cartridge guide spring is catching and hanging up the fired case. It is the flat spring above the chamber that guides the cartridge into the chamber. If they get bent down they can catch. Happened to me about 6 months ago....

At one time when I was still in the service back in about 1976 or so, we put in a solar hot water system. Worked GREAT, reduced my power bill by about 80%. Always had 80 gallons of hot water, water was so hot it had to go thru a cold water mixing valve to get it down to a safe temp before it went to...

OK, I finally looked it up the back of the Blue Book. Wards was Western Field. Almost all made by Mossberg, Savage & Stevens.

Other stores with "store brand" guns included Coast to Coast, Gambles, J.C. Penny.

I still have a brick of Montgomery Ward's .22 shells, must have had them since the 1970's at least. Wards and Sears not only had their own ammo brands but sold firearms with their name brands as well. Remember J.C. Higgins store brand shotguns sold at Sears? I can't remember Monkey Wards store bran...

It does it with an empty case, so I dont think it's the bullet. It does it with brand new cases or resized ones. The cases are about .012 under max.

OK, fellers, I have closely examined this rifle again for all the potential problems you have outlined. I am convinced it is just the extractor riding up over the rim of the case. I guess maybe it will get better if he just shoots it a lot.

I have a saddle ring carbine 25-35 with a Lyman tang sight. I use it for prairie dogs with the 60 grain Hornady. Really smokes 'em, great splatter factor.

Your description raises several questions for me... before I could formulate an answer beyond what you've been given already. Have you fed the cartridges into the chamber from the top, by hand? If so, do they slide in easily, or are they stopping before the rim is fully against the breech of the ba...
