He was a longtime member of the old forum and last I heard he was activated. Steve was a collector of old Winchesters and fairly knowledegeable. As I recall he was instrumental in bringing attention to a gun dealer from the UK that was fraudently selling guns that didn't belong to him. Steve happene...

Yea, I would say the General is a Bowie style. that new one is a sweet chunk of steel. I am very partial to knives that can be used as machetes and axes.

Good for you, sounds like a really nice rifle all the way around.

I was sitting here telling the wife how the 2 pre-Norinco 1895's in the safe were going to be worth 3 times as much as I was scrolling down the first page.

Sometimes it hurts to be right.

I'm not going to say how much, but I've used over 40gr of 4895 in the 45-70 under a 405gr bullet. Using that as a rough measurement from memory, I'm pretty sure there isn't room for 70gr of 4895 without a bullet, much less a 500gr on top of it.

OI I did try Varget but it, along with the 4895s, 3031, and a few others, were all dropped early on in the testing as all were too bulky to achieve what I was looking for in the test. When OS asked about 3031, I went looking back through my records and evidently I did not even keep the pages on the...

I'm not sure I understand the bile being vented with regard to this fictional character and his fictional situation, even though I understand that the underlying premise has a basis in reality.

We had 3" fall this morning. We are well over 150% of normal snowfall. Our temperatures were extremely low even for here (-40 without wind chill), and for a much longer period than usual. We have had so much snow, wind, and cold temps the buffalo and cattle ranchers up here hav really struggled...

You got it Jeff. I just transferred out of a unit where some of the guys motivation was to avoid deployment. Didn't go over well with me.

I have taken a couple elk at 400 yards here in CO and the 300WinMag chambering I use is by far the most popular chambering around here, in fact I can only think of one buddy who doesn't use one, and he uses a 7mag. Flat shooting magnums rule around here because when you get that hard to find shot, n...

It would be cool to have a 'table of applicability' for powders which showed not load data, but just 'applicability' in the form of one plus for 'ok' and two plusses for 'good' three for 'great' and maybe a star if it is the 'original' powder the round was developed with. The cartridges could be li...

it does look like the military is coming back to its senses though as they're feilding the 6.8/6.9 to replace the 5.56. who knows...they may find their way back to the 30-06. No, thats a myth. The 6.8 has been tested by the Army a few times, and special ops tried it out, but the 5.56 is still stand...

Thats a good price to be sure. I would be interested, except I'd have to ignore the 3 local bison ranchers that are going to be practically giving away hunts this spring due to the bad winter.

Does that price include the animal?

sore shoulder

Mike, I have a Ford F150. In that truck the trapper has no "handiness" advantage over the 20" barrel gun. However, in the wife's XTERRA or my mom's Subaru wagon, the shorter gun has advantages. Which is what makes an underfolder AK so very nice. Much shorter than a trapper, with 30 r...

here in the wonderful "golden state", for one to possess an AK or it's variants is against the law. california DOJ has a code that's 99 pages long describing 'assault weapons'. i agree with old ironsights. i'll take the good ole m-14; leave the .223/5.56 as a varmint round. it does look l...

I have several options open to me. However a suit is not one of them. It really isn't worth the effort. Contacting the owner again is not going to be productive.

I am no gun snob. When my .357 Marlin was stolen, I replaced it with this: That'll teach em. :lol: Sorry to hear about the lost Marlin. I dont have mine either, sold it to a forum member down in TX when I enlisted, needed some cash. I see by that target you must have gotten the only accurate AK eve...

Then proceeded to tell me about the Forster hole drilling jig he used. How the barrel was held in V-blocks, how the bottom of the receiver was used to level the action and index the drill fixtures.

Thanks Johnny, I did some googling and ran across most of that info. Looks like I found the perfect truck gun.

Eagles, wow, what a patient man you are. I admit I'm a little more than curious who the smith is, as I have some work I'd like done to a rifle that definately requires a smith and I was considering one of the fellows from the old Leverguns homepage. I sincerely hope this turns out well. Sounds like ...

Scott, as I recall those hunters were allegedly just out checking on their blind and only one or 2 had rifles. That incident also supports the popular beleif that people tend to freeze up in a high stress situation,instead of becoming proactive. Obligation to retreat is one of the most cowardly lega...

I'm wondering if the reason some of those sniper rigs don't have the stringing is smotthness of bore? Aren't those fire lapped from the factory? This would theoretically mimic the additional lube a bullet from a cold clean bore having lubricant residue and the resulting velocity increase, and conver...

Take it back to the shop Joe, let them deal with the smith. However let them know you will not accept another set of holes in the barrel. If it requuires a new rifle, so be it.
