During the early part of WWII the marines bought a bit over 300 Model 70 target rifles to test as future sniper rifles. This is one of those: The CMP has it on their auction site. http://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=1037&n=Winchester-Model-70-USMC-46874-30GOVT06 It ain't gonna go...

The club I belong to put on a gun show here in Newcastle, they were short of volunteers so my wife consented in helping me with security at night. After noticing the high prices and scarcity of ammo and reloading components during the first night I seen my wife talking to the guy running the...

This was listed as a Model 70 Target Rifle, Missing Parts. I figured what to heck, I have some Winchester parts so I won the auction. Turns out all it was missing was the bolt. 308 Tgt Barrel in Win Marksman Stock. I had a bolt so got out the head space gages. Really tight on the Go gage. New...

REF other post about the Heritage Rough Ryder. I was at a gun shop picking up some reloading supplies when wife found the little Rough Ryder in 32 H&R, laid it on the counter and said it was cute and wanted it. I bought it for and here is her target, 18 rounds at 15 yards. Her other targets...

If one has read many of my post they would know I'm a big fan of one hand shooting of handguns for SD purposes. This time I'm talking one hand shooting when you only have one hand. I was contacted by an individual who wanted me to help him load, shoot, and carry a handgun. He assumed it...

Fixed my neighbor's tractor so he brings me a thousand each of 38, 357 and 30-30 once fired brass. Don't know where he got them, don't care. Anyway he came over today to get me to replace the hydrolic rams (he had the rams) and decided to pay in advance so he gave me 2000 pieces of 9mm once...

Has the same demisions as the S&W Sigma. I'm looking at an holster but the size list doesn't list the Sigma, but list several glocks. Don't tell me to buy a Glock, that isn't the question. Nothing against Glocks its just I don't want a gun I can't shoot cast bullets in without having to buy...

Reportedly, DHS sent out bids for these so called "Do Not Hesitate" targets of what appear to me of normal people in Self Defense situations. I don't normally buy into the "conspiracy" BS, but targets of pregnant women, senior citizens, and a mother and child in a playground, concerns me...

Many house republicans signed a letter to the president stating they oppose and will fight any future gun laws. http://lummis.house.gov/uploadedfiles/second_amendment_ltr_to_potus_final_signed_1.24.13.pdf If your congress signed the letter (mine did), thank them, if yours didn't sign demand to...

You need "Three readings" (votes) in the Wyoming house to get a bill through. All three of these bills passed their second reading, one more to go. Guns in Schools: Upon passing any CCW holder in Wyoming can carry their firearms in K-12 and colleges and school activities. Gun State: No...

Wyoming has changed its laws regarding what is legal for hunting. For Deer and Antelope size animals, you can now use 223s and 357s. 17 cal and 22 magnums can be used for turkeys. http://wgfd.wyo.gov/web2011/news-1001268.aspx Now I have to get more tags, I was gonna try a muzzle loader for...

I know BP builds up in the barrel as it's shot and the barrel needs swabbed every couple rounds (I swab mine after three rounds). What do you use in cold weather. Normaly I use warm soaky water or TC's mixture. Both freeze. I was shooting yesterday and it was right around 0*. Its a pain to...

"Firearm Protection Act" HR 0104 Wyoming is going to make it illegal to enforce any more federal gun laws. http://legisweb.state.wy.us/2013/Introduced/HB0104.pdf I love this part:

Since I'm always looking for something else I don't need or have any use for I decided to get an inline Muzzle Loader. I don't have much experience with Muzzle Loaders and didn't find out they didn't use normal precussion caps until I ordered my TC rifle. They talk about 209 primers. I have...

Writing letters, voicing our opinions work. Cheaper then Dirt got a lot of negative e-mails and comments on Facebook (including from me). I just got an e-mail from Cheaper then Dirt stating they are going to resume sales and shipments of firearms. Keep up the pressure folks.

The president just announced he is going to push for new gun laws, AW & High Cap mag bands. Please understand if we get these new laws, we can't blame the president, we can't blame anti guns groups. We are to blame, we can stop it, and stop it now. There are over 100 million gun owners in this...

I managed to get a few pictures of my Krag Christmas Present before wife raps it. Barrels great, action smoother then a prom queen's thighs and based on what I can find out from Joe Poyer's "The American Krag Rifle and Carbine" its all orginal. Gonna pop a few rounds too before she gets it rapped.

Been looking for a "good" Kreg for a long time, but I don't want junk, I don't want modified, I don't want a cut down rifle. Well today I found the best, nicest 1898 Kreg 30-40 Rifle I've ever seen. NO modifications, not drilled and tapped, no buggered screws, Old but 100% original. Problem...
