Rimfire ammo is a holdover from the beginning of cartridge development. It's just not the best way to make a cartridge but it is economical . I agree if you're talking about plinking/hunting ammo, but not match ammo. I guarantee as you double the price per round the QC improves to the point of weig...

CCI ammo, in my experience, is the cleanest. Remington is the dirtiest.

The same applies to both manufacturers QC......hence the Remington "Thunderdud" reputation.

I'm a commercial pest inspector. I see some really cool "pest" stuff. Bed bugs to bats. I was doing an inspection at new structure, on a family owned hop farm/processor. 100 acres has been in the family since 1906. The newest family member that is operating it has created the coolest, indu...

A gun library employee told me that 7 people have to inspect and sign off on the 4473 before you can take it out of the store. Corporate Attorneys.....

It's a nightmare buying an antique also. Last year I had to get the gun library to bring out books to prove it was a "legal" antique. It still took almost an hour to pay.

jdad

Like any other receiver sight the knob on the end of the bridge is windage and the one going into the base is elevation. The big screw on the side of the base is for tension while going up and down or to allow you to remove the bridge.

jdad

I prefer a tighter fit over the first round to keep lint out of the action.

I looked at that one a couple of times also while doing my rounds. Glad you got it.

Everything I was really interested in was priced way above what I was willing to pay and the dealers didn't want to budge more than 5%.

jdad

You buy junk it stays junk.

Think of the money and time you need to put into it so that it becomes a shooter. If you just spent that amount of money up front you could have an original condition shooter.

jdad

Karl,

You found the reason I switched to N110 from 2400. Higher velocities if needed and a whole lot less flash, blast, and soot.

jdad

I'm about your size and I have no problem with a Sig 938 in a Recluse pocket holster.

I had an XDS in 45 and got rid of it for the reasons you mentioned. Too bulky and heavy . I still tuck my shirt in.

jdad

I was able to handle and drool on this rifle last year while over at the Dog's house. I feel real lucky when I get to check out the "one of" and unique special order rifles.

1. List the rifle as "Hunting Rifle".
2. Describe it only as a "Level Action".
3. Payment terms are "COD".
4. "FFL IS NOT REQUIRED".

He had no problem cashing my MO right away, but did not mail the sight for 6 weeks. When it arrived it was nonfunctioning. I called and said I was sending it back. We got into a "discussion" and I told him that I paid for a "working" sight. He ended up sending me about a 30% ref...

If you bought a Winchester rifle today, made exactly like it was in 1950, you would probably pay from $1400 (current Miroku price range) to $4000 (Big Horn Armory price range. Those inflation calculator flawed. Location and need is everything. You're probably going to be close, but this is an origi...

I've never owned a 10mm, but I want one of these. But, I have learned (mainy with automobiles) not to buy a 1st-year model. But I want one. Hasn't most of Ruger's reacll issues been with triggers on their stirker fired pistols? I don't remember hearing any SR1911 issues. Anyone?[/ [/quote] ...........

jdad

It's a Ruger. It'll be recalled before someone is hurt.

jdad

I knew someone back in CA and he emphasized that size was proportional to value. I remember Redwood, Walnut, and I think several Black Oak projects he had.

My son in law gets Benchmade knives supplied to the US Navy SEAL team. When he was visiting here a few years ago we went out to Benchmade and he dropped a couple knives off that had seen hard use. They asked if he'd prefer a replacement or repair? He had taken them on a number of missions and told ...

jdad

$1000 for a Ruger? I'll pass.

jdad

Both sold for less than I thought.

jdad

Benchmade, Gerber, Kershaw, Leatherman, etc are all within a 10mile radius. That looks to be a sharp area, fer sure ! ;) . You can tell when the companies have their warehouse overstock sales. A lot of the manufacturer's have a 3 day event and sell their knives at 50%-70% off, to clear discontinued...

I had some business in Oregon City, so I figured I would drop my EDC (Osborne Axis, assisted mini Barrage) for service. It was pretty dull and the assist was gummed up. Dropped it off on 6/13 and it arrived today via UPS 6/16. Awesome service! They replaced every torx screw, spring, etc and sharpene...

Your original post is where you put it, in the Winchester forum. http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=941641 All they asked you to do was just go to the index page, scroll all the way down to "Classifieds" and post a "WTB". Rimfirecentral is pretty easy going, bu...

That piece of paper certifies the provenance that it was tuned by the master. It will add value. How much? My guess 10%-15%.

jdad

You did well! Glad you were able to use the stock set.

Amazing condition for their age.

Hey Doc,

You do realize that you posted to a 3 year old thread.

jdad

I've been playing with it for the last 2 days. It does not like 2400.....surprised me too. 3" five-shot groups was the best it would do at 50 yards. The closer to max I get with 4227 the tighter the groups get. Pretty impressed so far. I'm at 9.5gr right now, so I'll try 1/10 increments up and ...

jdad

Receiver is the same design. It didn't change until 1947 with the round bolt 336.

jdad

So here's why I was asking.

The Speer book uses their 46gr jacketed FP
2400 - 8.3gr MAX
4227 - 9.8gr MAX
4198 - 14.2gr MAX (compressed)

The Hornady book uses their 45gr jacketed HP

2400 - 11.2gr MAX
H110 - 11.9gr MAX
4198 - 13.9gr MAX

jdad

Thanks Six, The Sierra 46gr I have is specifically made for the Bee also. I'll stick with the small rifle primers and give 4227 & 2400 a try tomorrow. It's just a range toy, so I'll play with the steel critters. Doc, I found plenty of Hornady brass, at a real fair price, at Gunstop.com. $87 ship...

Ok, so I got a NIB first year (1990) 1894CL, for what the MSRP was in 1990. Also picked up a mint 1983 Leupold M8-4x for $20, to mount on it. It was a dumb luck day. I've read all sorts of load data, but it doesn't seem to be inconsistent in the manuals. I have plenty of new Hornady brass, plenty of...

jdad

All they are doing is taking a NIB 22" barreled 1895, case coloring and refinishing the wood........and charging $1300.

jdad

Holy stuff Vall, almost ready for a new safe?

My office is across the street from Royd. I'm sure you knew he filed for bankruptcy a few weeks ago. I heard the liquidator consigned his stuff to Mark.

jdad

That's half of what mine sold for, AT AUCTION, about a year ago.

jdad

We just finished over 160 days of rain. You get it all at once, we just get it for 8-9 months continuous. The rain normally stops July 5 and we get summer for 6 weeks, then it starts all over again.

jdad

If that's one of the Italian reproductions, then have at it. You won't hurt or help the value.

Your gun, your decision.

jdad

It's either leaving the country, going into a private domestic collection, or a museum. Serious bidders.

.....and you'll find old Stevens rifle's with "22-9 1/2" instead of 22 WRF. Stevens didn't want to advertise for Winchester. 9-1/2 grains of black powder was the original loading.
