Otto, There are many reasons why you may get fouling towards the end of the barrel. Here are a few, Bullet weight may be wrong for the twist of barrel. This is not normally a problem, but coupled with a defective or worn barrel will cause this. You may have a poorly manufactured barrel. The barrel i...

Swab the bore with the Hoppes. Let it sit for two hours. Run a patch through it, and swab again. Don't hurry the Hoppes. I have used it, and it will work. If you want a fast way to remove copper, buy the outers foul out kit.

Someone has a big problem there. Looks like they are coming out of the woodwork.
Could do the same with the gophers around here.

The ABU De-Luxe, if in as new condition will fetch at least 500 bucks, and possibly more.
The 6500c standard edition 40 to 75 bucks maybe.
I never liked the ABU's that much myself, due to the air brake they started fitting. Non the less, they are a very good quality reel, and do have a following.

p.s.
Any of the full immersion soaking methods that use water based solutions(caustic hot tank), will need to dry out completely, as the wood will swell from its original size. Depending on where you live, temp and humidity, you may want to air dry it for two or three weeks before finishing.

I think I would soak the thing in laquer thinners. Go get 5 gallons of gunwash thinner from an automotive paint supplier. Make up a tray to hold the thinners and lay the stock in it. It will get a lot of the crud out, and may drive some of the stain deeper into the wood, but the overall effect will ...

Bullets, primers and brass will not get cheaper in the future. Look back over the past 20 years and tell me what has got cheaper. Now compare how far a dollar goes, or better still, your paycheck. Plan for the future and buy as much as you can afford now. I stacked up 8 months ago on bullets, powder...

If you are referring to the big safety button on the side of the receiver, then yes. The early models did not have this feature.

Same story here Mike. I used to frequent the Del Mar Gunshow, but have not been there in 4 years, and that visit was to check and see if there had been any improvement for the previous 3 years. I think I will never set foot in one again. I stopped going for the same reasons that you and many others ...

I had my extensive training over 20 years ago. Took about 30 seconds. It went like this. lesson part 1.This is a 30-30. The rounds go in here. Work the lever.

The car in the pic, was mcQueen's pride and joy. It is an XKSS, which was a limited production, more rfined for road use version of the d-type jaguar. It fit in between the c-type and the e-type(xke). From memory, I think it is a 1957. Bumpers, windshield, an soft top, and possibly a heater was adde...

I was in a bar one night, and my buddy said '' Hey, that girl has got her eye on you." So I turned to look. He was right. She had one eye on me, and the other on the door.

I got a strange look from a girl once. She was so cross-eyed, that when she cried, the tears ran down her back.

mescalero1,
The form dies I use take them down to 250- 3000 before I size to 22-250. I prefer the 22 cal, as there seems a bit better selection of bullets to choose from.

Don't over cook em.

Woah, that pic scared me.
Take a look on you tube. there is a guy on there tearing up a 1000yd target with one of those things. They can shoot real good with the right ammo.

Everyone should have at least 1 22-250.

Good eating. When I was a kid in england we used to pull in tons of crab as a by-catch when fishing for cod off the south coast. We would shoot the trammels in the early evening, and pull them in the next morning. The guys used to hate cleaning them from the nets. There were so many of them, we used...

Reducing the base size will be the most difficult thing. A couple of thou wont be too bad, but more will be tough. You will have to live with the length.....seat the bullet out. Reduce rim size with a lathe or use a file and drill setup. Bullets can be had here..http://www.customcastbullets.com/ You...

The EGR valve also acts up on those things. I am not sure if it has a water heated EGR vave, or vac operated. Make sure the radiator is topped up. Check all the above first. If that does not fix it, check operation of egr valve, and possibly replace it. If the vehicle has plenty of power for towing ...

Check all vac lines for an air leak. If they have never been replaced, change them all. A quick check for leaks is to squirt berrymans, or brake cleaner onto vac hoses( you will hear a change in engine rpms if there are leaks).....check intake manifold around the base...also check for air leaks arou...

Old Savage,
I cant say for sure, but if you have an octagonal barrel, they are a lot more nose heavy than the 20" barrel. Maybe lead was added to balance the rifle, with the added bonus of felt recoil reduction.
I would balance the rifle to my own needs. I guess its a matter of preference.

OK, you have noticed it.

I have not heard of any plans to scrap or replace the IMR powders with the Hodgdon powders. I have loads worked up with IMR, and when my supply runs out, I will just buy more of the same.

Jayhawker, Thanks for the link. Check out page 4 . Exemptions at the bottom of the page. I wish they would simplify all this, and make it easier to understand. Ask a cop about the laws, or a gunshop, and they probably could not give a correct answer. If you think CA firearm law is confusing, take a ...

Jayhawker,
That is not correct. Private individuals within the state may do cash and carry without a FFL.

some info for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_4473 Depending on which state you live in, you may be required to use a FFL for all, or just certain transfers. State to state transfers require going through a FFl dealer. Here in California, the only FFL exempt transactions are for muzzleloaders...

For my style of shooting, a chronograph is not vital at all. I go for accuracy using published load data, and always stay below max charge. I look for the most accurate load out to a max of 300yds. 20 or 30 so feet per second spread makes little or no difference at close ranges. Long range out to 10...

I have thought about getting the 30 carbine blackhawk for many years now. I have never fired one, but had seen one in action in the hands of a very capable shooter.

I was using XP until about 6 months ago without a problem. Maybe the problem lies with the version of Internet Explorer.

I like it, although too pretty to use in the field. Looks like it belongs in a collectors cabinet. Plain guns suit me fine, and I dont mind them getting a little wear from use.

Its a shame winchester or usrac did not put out a set like this in their later years. I would think they could have produced such a set for $3,000 or even less, based on the 94 action.
Maybe one day, miroku will do so.
