While it's nice I'd be more happy with a fully restored 1964 CJ-5 with a full metal Kelly Cab !

You guys are calling it a Gladiator, i kinda thought it looked like a Jeep Commando front end too ---- We had a 1968 Jeep Commando my dad bought new . The grill on that looked like a CJ-5 grill and the later ones looked like the later Jeep trucks . The only thing that had a grill similar to a Gladi...

Dunno about who's making what now but when Dakota was making the high dollar ones you could get it in 25-35 and 7-30 Waters . If I'm not mistaken they offered it in 219 Zipper as well !

I do like the retro Gladiator front grill

Since I was around when they were making Gladiators with that grill

My hat's off to the Italians. With overall costs that surely must equal or exceed those in the U.S. and a bad exchange rate to boot, they've built an entire arms industry around building traditional American arms. It's a sad DISGRACE that these companies are not in the U.S.! I have one Chiappa and ...

I know this sucks but sometimes you have to spend the $200+ for the forming dies, especially if you have a tight chamber---big deal---we think nothing of spending 2 g's for a rifle but quiver at the $200 cost of a set of dies. That right there is reason enough for me to buy the correct headstamped ...

Still think I'll get a set of gauges and some reference books .

Well once again I am over the urge to buy a Garand !

I usually get this feeling once or twice a year !

This time after seeing how much trouble it would be to get EXACTLY what would satisfy me and the $$$ required to acquire it I kinda cooled my intrest a bit !

Seems to me someone told me recently that Ed Shilen set up Bergera's barrel making line or whatever one cares to call it .

Marlin QC was asleep at the wheel while they putting out the FG's.Now they sell for more then new.Like olyinaz if there was a 1892 in 41 I'd be there with a big smile on my face, even bigger if it was a trapper. Davidson's had MArlin make a limited run of 41 Mag's that had 16 1/2" barrels , la...

I appreciate a bolt gun myself- I have five- three Remington's ,one Winchester and a Savage- as well as 7 lever actions and a Contender carbine with 22LR, 223 and 30-30 AI barrels. Hunting has been a journey over the last forty years or so, I started with a single shot, moved through a lever action...

The only thing I regret after getting rid of the 1894FG that I had is the fact that I never got around to trying the Lyman 41 cal gas check mold I had for it ! But at the time I was having fits trying to find the correct size gaschecks as I didn't know about Gator Checks then . Anyway I would like t...

What about the FG model and what are they going for now? i can't find one anywhere, I sold my LNIB 1894FG about two years ago for about $600 if my memory serves me . I think when I sold that rifle it had been shot maybe 75 times . And had no dings , scratches , marks etc ! They had also ceased prod...

I had one of the 1894FG's for awhile and killed 3 deer with it . And while it did an adequate job I can't say I was overly impressed ! Alotta folks will disagree on my summation of why I wasn't overly thrilled with the performance . But here goes nontheless ! On ALL 3 deer I shot with the little rif...

Wow , I'd like to take one decent moose before I leave this earth !

Personally the Sako's I prefer are all pre 1980 or so

It kinda depends if you want a collector gun or a shooter. (good shooter that is :D ) As most of us know, collecting Garands is like collecting other classics----the earlier, the better---the less (in numbers) variations--the better. Condition and originality is paramount. :wink: A good Springfield...

TC Contender carbines in Australia are not much different in price guns like Sako. European firearms are much cheaper and often of better quality than the Rossi etc. I am not going to bag out the Handi rifle- I have used them and they are fine utilitarian firearms- but I am a bit of a sucker for a ...

To anyone interested, setting up a GB account is simple, but DOES require a credit card, since they charge $1. The reason for the credit card is, since there's no way to differentiate between buyer and seller acounts, for GB to be able to collect their commission on a sale. . So do they collect fro...

Yep live steam, but i`ll just run it on air. When you get that thing cranked up full speed , you need to get u a hotplate and take an old coffe can and pour an ounce or two of steam cylinder oil in the can sitting on the hotplate so you get the true "aromatic" effect of a live steam engin...
