That Browning finish is actually quite easy to take off.
Problem is, it I'd also tinted to hide the low quality wood.
I take it off anyway and go back with a satin finish

About a year ago I sold a LNIB Browning B92 in 44mag It was the model without the saddle ring. I never fired it much but it was an incredibly smooth action This week I was told by a friend that he spotted a used BROWNING 1892 in 45 Colt. I am not familiar with this. I was under the impression that ...

Tycer, are you talking about transiting ATL or leaving from there?
I'll be going through ATL from DFW to JNB next month with 2 checked rifles. Fingers crossed.

Don't put a "buy it now" price on it. Some idiot will end your auction then back out when they realize they can't have it in their jurisdiction. Then you HAVE to relist it on GB and finally sell it there to get your commission back :evil: Start it at the lowest price you will accept with b...

For what good quality paint or epoxy costs, you could almost put new sheet metal up. That is, provided you could do your own labor.

You might try a light acid wash on the shiney parts before painting. Don't breathe the lead fumes.

Yes, it's enough. Unless you like to watch HD or 4K. Then I'm not sure. I watch Netflix on the lowest resolution to save my bandwidth. I'm on satellite so I get a limited amount of 12k download.

I already had some Rem Oil wipes in a canister, so I ordered some Ballistol individual wipes. I sighted in a couple of rifles yesterday and used one of the wipes on both guns. Did a good job. I did this in the kitchen. And I'm still alive. :D The wife didn't notice the smell, so they passed a very i...

I have used Rem Oil wipes before and they worked well. I just didn't realize there were so many choices out there nowadays. The Rem Oil wipes I have came in a canister, so they did dry out a bit. I guess I could have borrowed off of Sixgun's idea and put some of those in a heavy ziplock bag, along w...

I'm headed back to Africa this fall. It will probably be warmer than it has been any of the other times I have been. Packing weight is crucial, so I won't be taking a full gun cleaning kit.

Anyone ever get stung by a Cow Ant? Big ol orange and black fuzzy ant? When we were kids, we were always told to avoid the cow ants and they would sting the fire out of you. I was showing out to my brother and cousin and picked one up... one time . I picked up the cow ant and said, "See they w...

We have had plenty of years with much more total rainfall than we have had for the past 2. But I have never seen it spaced out so "perfectly" like this. It rains to the point of running off, then quits. Then as soon as it looks like it might dry up a bit, it rains again. It usually takes a...

You had them hold the guns for you until you accumulated 3 or 4? Yeah why ? Because you didn't mention where they charged you for storage. I must be special no one ever charged me for storage .

They sell me quality NEW rifles and pistols at prices below list price. Maybe 4 new pistols and 3 new rifles in the last three years.

Thanks to all who responded and gave advice. I usually do hunt with different ammo than the Hornaday, and all other ammo i have tried has fed fine.

The .270 ones are the highest priced right now.
They were so unpopular that the unsold ones got rebarrelled to .405, so the existing .270s became scarce.

The timer already exists. It called a yellow light, which simply means that the light is about to turn red. As long as the light is not red, it is legal to cross the white stop bar. Once you are across it, you control the intersection until you clear it. You have the right to confront your accuser. ...

Don't waste you time buying a .375 bullet mould.

You will need a .377 or larger.

One of the earliest Decoration Days was in the South, but it was freed slaves honoring the graves of the Union Soldiers that freed them.

One of my Browning 71s had a bent firing pin. It would fire if the lever was cycled, but if I ever let the hammer down, then cocked to to fire, it would not. Can you take pencil or punch and lightly push on the back of the fire pin and make it protrude through the face of the bolt? Or do you feel re...

Sandbags are typically placed under the action, where a bipod is out on the fore end. Harmonics and balance point will change your POI.

Buy a Lyman Cast Bullet handbook and read it.
Then buy a mould and get after it.
Then read the handbook again.

I say if you want one, buy it.
But for the price you could get 2 others, maybe 3, in .444, 45-70 and/or .44 mag.

Contact someone in the Forsyth Gun Club.
They may have a local source.
But unless you get in on a bulk buy, it may be cheaper to mail order than drive to Miles City or farther.

20" Barrel, 325 Swift A Frame gives MV of 2,189 and ME of 3,458 ftlbs. Is that a mild, standard or hot load for the .500 S&W? Honestly it doesn't sound that impressive if that is out of a rifle. The old .405 Winchester will push a 300 grain bullet at 2200fps out of a 22 inch barrel with le...

With virtually no atmo to speak of bullet velocities should be higher and allow easier escape velocity . I guess your gun might need an oxygen tank to achieve optimum ignition.
