    Californian Tiger Shoot

    Anyone heard what the Old Bill in San Francisco were using when they dealt with that tiger? I would hazard a guess it was a shotgun with rifled slug.

    Nikko Sterling Silver Crown.

    Are these any good? A mate has a 2.5 pistol scope, old, but in good condition. I am looking for a reasonable scope to put on a K.98 using an S&K scout mount. I'll work out the price with him, but I would like to know if anyone has any experience of them for this use, positive or negative.

    Bipod mount for a Mauser K.98

    I found a system on the net which shows a bipod mounted on a stock K.98 using a setup which slides onto the bayonet boss. Now I can't find this again. Does anyone know who makes them? Does anyone have any experience of them, i.e. are they worth it?

    Hogue overmoulded Stocks.

    Anyone have any experience of these? I have a Ramline stock which after 600 rounds of 7.62mm / .308 is showing some cracks. I am looking for a replacement and these seem satisfactory. The very best to you all for 2007!

    Recrowning

    Quick question. A recent review I read in a shooting magazine was very positive of two examples of a rifle (AIA Mk10). The only reservation was that accuracy was indifferent. The author stated that when he examined the muzzle both had been poorly crowned. In his view a simply re crowning job...

    Export advice

    I am a British resident and certain American goods have become hard to come by over here. I have spoken by phone to one American firearms dealer, who told me that he was unable to send me certain items because, due to Post 9/11 U.S. legislation, they were classed as weapon related and could not...

    Fg 42

    Any one out there owned one or fired one? Lots of threads recently about how WW11 kit would compare today, so I thought I would throw this one into the mill.

    .44 Magnum or .45 Long Colt?

    In 1997 I, along with everyone else in the UK, had to hand in their pistols and accessories when the law changed. We were given some compensation but that is another story. I kept about 500 empty .44 Magnum cases and a set of reloading dies with the intention of getting a lever action rifle at...

    Cheap rebluing

    Hi guys, here's a basic question. I have a Yugoslav K.98 I want to refinish. It's a pretty good shooter and has non matching parts, a good barrel and excellent bolt closure. The wood work is quite knocked about and there is very little bluing left. Before I shot it I had to clean a lot of...

    Mauser Action .44 magnum.

    I came across an old French shooting magazine, (From 1998) and it had an IMI advert showing a bolt action rifle in .44 magnum. It looks like a Mauser 98 action and uses Desert Eagle magazines. Has anyone one out there got or seen one of these? I have tried emailing IMI but so far, nothing.

    Mojo Sight systems.

    Has anybody used these? I want to upgrade the sights on a Mauser 98K. It's a Yugoslavian arsenal refurbished model, not an M48. Another option would be to use a Burris Scout scope I already have, with a mount from B square or from GunAccessories.com. Any reviews on the above welcome.

    Polish M44

    A dealer I know is offering Polish M44's at a pretty decent price. They have the side folding bayonet and he can get me a sling and stripper clips. I have read that the Polish made ones are pretty good. Can anyone comment?

    Corrosive ammo

    Any top tips for cleaning after shooting corrosive 7.92mm and 7.62 X 54? The obvious of course is 'Don't shoot corrosive ammo!' But it's cheap.

    MP40 question

    Can any one answer this question for me. I am told that the German MP40 submachine gun has a mechanical rate reducer which holds its rate of fire to 550rpm. Apparently this made it very controllable when fired (full auto only). I have never handled or fired one, but if I ever get to Knob...

    WInchester 94 or Rossi

    Has any one any experience of the Rossi lever actions? I have about 1000 .44 magnum cases and a set of reloading dies burning a hole in my pocket. The regime here has banned pistols and revolvers so I am thinking of a short barrelled lever action rifle. I was rather taken with a Winchester...

    Utility Scout Rifles

    I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has a Utility Scout on any action , along the lines of “The Poor Mans Scout Rifle”. I have owned Mauser 98’s since 1985 and a couple of years back had one modified in line with Ashley Emersons blue print. It is 7.62/.308 Winchester and now has...
