Numrich, gunpartscorp.com Jack First Or the auction sites and you might find one. I had a 43 in Hornet, friend of mine wanted it real bad so I sold it to him, dont think he has shot it yet- that was a dozen years ago. Couple weeks later I found a LNIB #1 in 218, bunch of factory ammo with scope. Go...

Found one in Down East Maine yesterday (North of Ellsworth) at a fair price BUT no magazine. Told the store clerk to keep it on hold till next week since I'll be back in the area next week for work. Just started to look around for one but they are hard to find. Any suggestions?

I did have one years ago that based on the book and online they were off by several years. I noticed over the years by reading other forum messages and articles the older it is it's difficult to pinpoint the exact date. To know for sure you need to have it lettered from factory or someone that's rep...

I was in the same boat with my Savage 99 until Pete44ru had good idea on his sling setup. I wanted it in leather so I found one online and just came in today.

Takes seconds to put on and take off. Like it a lot!

Would pony up on building a 358 Winchester upper!

More on a M14 chasses though...…..

I hear you. My stomping grounds aren't far from yours, I don't think. East Carry Plantation, East side of the pond. It seems ever since Westinghouse bought out Plumb Creek 2-3 years ago they have gone back to some areas that been harvested 4 or 5 years ago to re-cut. Doesn’t make a lot of sense :|....

I agree with Six. The .358 would be my squeeze. As for the sling, I can go with or without. It's too easy to have the rifle on your shoulder when it should be in your hands. Shots come quick sometimes. I will admit though, they are nice to have. :D Keeping the rifle in hand is a must especially whe...

Mainehunter

Nice. You did good. Classy 99s for sure, MH. Gonna hunt em' this year? Coming right up...... Yup! Both are coming up with me up to camp. I’m set for the 358 for cast loads but need to try out loads for the 243 Win. I’m going to add a 2x7 Redfield scope on the 243 Win since there have been some new ...

Looks great! Who did the stock work? jb 8) Macon Gunstocks out of Warsaw Missouri. https://www.macongunstocks.com/ Nice people to deal with and was recommended by someone. Was surprised how quick the turnaround was since they posted a 4 to 6 month turn around especially with checkering services add...

So after a few weeks back in July going back and forth on the butt stock dilemma on my Savage 99F in 243 Win, I decided to swap stocks between the 99F in 358 Win and the 243 Win. I ended up sending the 358 Win out West to have new custom set of stocks made for it. 013cc8475e67428913354463ad8ae659d06...

Been doing that myself for the past couple of weeks!

I was hoping to get out to the range today but work was calling me

Better luck next time I guess.

I've been wondering if sized 000 would be practicle as cheap plinkers in the 30wcf.... That's doable! My grandfather kept a really nasty looking single shot 30-06 in the barn for my grandmother to use for pest control. I think he used 00 buck but can't remember what powder he used. Probably one of ...

My 80 CJ5 is hanging low but I'm running 33" for tires so the clearance is pretty good. When I compare that to the 67 CJ6 it doesn't hang down as much so it seems. I do have the offset Dana 44 rear and Dana 27 front axles on the CJ6 but some day I'm planning on swapping the front axle because t...

I had some spare time earlier today to get to the range and try out some factory loads. I dug out a partial box of Hornady Interlock 100 grain and some Hornady SST 87 grain reduced loads out to 100 yards. As expected groupings were around 2 1/2" with both loads. I did mount a Redfield 2x7 scope...

Even 135 bucks is cheap fix considering what you have invested! True! I have no problem of spending that. I'm seriously considering it. I've seen other places have them for a little bit less. The only thing which is not a big deal is they are a bit oversized that will need to be fit and finished. A...

Let me look through my stash of stocks. I know I have the forearm but not sure about the butt. Thanks! :D $69 gets you a walnut replacement from Boyd's...

Mainehunter

You have an inexpensive hunting or truck gun there. Would it be me, I'd fix the crack then put a recoil pad on the stock to bring it to a proper length, then go shoot it. See if the barrel wear is or is not an issue. Then go from there. You really can't hurt it any taking it into the field, that's ...

The other day my wife mentioned that one of here friends relative passed away just recently.

Years ago when I was traveling a lot up to the "County" I did see an accident similar to that but the smallish cow went right through a Ford LTD!

Through the front windshield, out the rear window and fell back on the pavement. Fortunately, the driver made it out fine!

I have a good pile of Black Locust trees that were cut up to clear some land years ago by a good friend of mine who is a forester. He thinks the trees were planted at some point since they aren't native to Maine. Comparing it to Hornbeam "Iron Wood" as they call it up here, they are simila...

Congrats OldWin!!!

Looks like you'll have another rider and spotter when you hit the trails in your jeep!!!

I do like the D30 on my CJ5 but the AMC20 rear is a different story. It still had the original two piece axles running 33's which I was a little nervous running that big of a tire. Switched to one piece Moser axles but had a hell of a time to get the pre-load right on the bearings :x. On top of that...

Mainehunter

Hey Jeepnik! I do recall you were trying to buy your neighbors CJ6? Any updates on that??? I'm assuming the front axle on your CJ8 is a Dana30? Specs?

Mainehunter

Next time your stopping by at the Red Onion in Rangeley, they make a killer liver and onion dinner with all the fixing's. The best I ever had!

Guy just a couple miles from me had a nice CJ6. Someone on this board is building one right now. Can't remember who it was. I agree. Never been a fan of a V8 in a Jeep. The 258 and the 4.0 were probably the best. The old 225 Dauntless wasn't too bad, but I prefer the inlines. The 4 bangers are ok i...

I use to service them back in the late 90's for several years. The one service call I will never forget was an obese patient got stuck coming out, they too pressed the panic button.

I know reading from other gun forums guys aren't too pleased with Hornady brass. Biggest complaints are primer pockets loosening up on 6.5 Creedmore after 3 firings.
