pshort, No waiting period on cars in California; heck, you don't even have to have a license, just bring money! Griff, the Camaro was originally a plain 327 two barrel with Powerglide. The cowl induction hood and rally stripes were added to make it go faster! :lol: It has only 96,600 original miles...

You can't go wrong with a 1911. I own several Colts, a couple Kimbers and a Springfield and all shoot like dreams. I carry each of them CCW depending on weather and swap them out for my Glock 19 from time to time. Never had an issue with any of them. My next one witll be a Ruger Commander length as ...

If you want gransforsbruks quality at half the price, Husqvarna or Wetterlings is where it's at hands down. The big question that you need to ask yourself is what you plan to do with it. Each axe (when talking about higher dollar axes) has a different profile made for a specific task. When you get i...

This was just moved to the front of my bucket list (post deployment) purchases. I see Ruger selling quite a few of these.

She is a beautiful specimen of what Leverguns used to be. Hopefully she shoots well.

For me it depends on the quality of the stalk. I shot one smaller than him but I had to sneak over 1000 yards to get onto him. I ended up within 80 yards of him after a two hour stalk. To me ,it's more about the hunt than the trophy. Exactly. One of the hardest animals to hunt in the U.S. Anyone ca...

I appreciate the education gentlemen. It's going to be awhile before I get back and am able to handle one but I am curious to see which barrel length has the best balance. I liked the 4.75 in of the Ruger SAA's but am told the Colts are a little lighter of frame (Rugers as you all know are overbuilt...

Well, this is yet another bucket list item that I have wanted for quite some time but haven't came across the right deal yet. I consider myself pretty darn knowledgable in many firearm platforms (have attended many armorer schools for Gov) but have zero knowledge when it comes to the mechanics and w...

Mich Hunter

It looks very similar to the Barrett 98B. I have no doubt Ruger will sell a ton of them at that price point. I just hope they come out with a 300 win or other larger magnum calibers. Their promise of "five-shot sub-MOA groups out to 1,600 yards" with a 243, 308 or 6.5 Creed may be difficul...

I keep a beater Marlin .22 up at our cabin for pest and such. It's well hidden in a false wall (log cabin) and never had an issue. Bought it second hand years ago and shoots pretty good. Everything else hardware wise is brought back out.

I had my hands on an original in Iraq at one time. It was pretty dang pristine and I ripped off a couple hundred rounds through it. I had no idea how it got there but would have loved to have brought it home. Many Remington Rand 1911 popped up in my possession over there as well. I'm more amazed yo...

Re-reading the OP, I have to ask how sure is he that the neighbor did the damage? I knew a couple of criminal "tree surgeons" who could pull off this type of theft caper ten times a month once they knew the property owner had not bothered to visit in years. I knew of a dock that had been ...

Yooper, This particular parcel that I am referring to is just north of L'anse in Pequaming. I am trying to find someone local up there that can give me an estimate on the replacement.

Basically to get to the short and sweet, I own some property in up sate MI (UP) and walked the property line this fall for the first time in several years.

I have about 16 years of shooting and smithing on them for Uncle Sam. I have also been through the Beretta armorers course. My opinion of them are…………..There are much better and simpler choices out there for their price range. Yes they did have slide cracking issues (still do) along with the falling...

Off of the top of my head, the torque specs are between 35lbs and 80lbs per T.O. Just remember to add a bit of grease to the threads as 7.62 is right in stating that it will fuse itself. Lining up the gas tube can be the hardest part for some along with setting the detent and springs for the hinge p...

I picked the Ruger 77 RS (gotta love iron sights) for around $300. The blue is deep and the rifle was hardly shot at all. Gun is practically mint. The only issue is it has a cheap Ramline plastic (won't even call it synthetic) stock that I can't stand. It is loud as can be when anything touches it a...

Mich Hunter

Going to ask here to see if anyone may have an answer. I recently picked up an older Ruger 77 tang safety in 338 Win and it came with a cheap plastic stock (aftermarket, not the paddle) that I am not a fan of. I am in the market for a new synthetic or wood but am only coming up with Boyds stocks. I ...

Please disregard, I was referring to the ejector not the extractor. Not enough coffee in the system today.

Wisners should also have them. There are two versions. One for the very early model that incorporated a screw on the receiver and the more common one.

I have been wearing gloves for years mainly for ease up of cleanup. Due to having to pack animals out for several miles, it may be a bit before I can get to some soap.

I need some input from those that have more knowledge on the early tang safety 77 Rugers than I. Basically, I am a huge Ruger fan like many others and I seem to stick with the brand on certain firearms. I am currently in need of a 338WM with iron sights and have been shopping around. I have a line o...

Thought I would shoot a string of offhand this morning, all went well until the 17th shot, which stuck a cartridge case in the chamber.

Don't lube the chamber. Did I read that the oprod is NOT bent? It appears that you have corrosion of the chamber which allows it to "grab" the case with sufficient force to inhibit extraction. That inhibits ejection. One might try a light polish of the affected area of the chamber after n...
