Last year I purchased this Valmet combination gun for coyote hunting. This gun was last made in 1985. Mine was new, unfired in the box, still had cosmoline on the barrels. An advantage of the Valmet 412 system is the ability to adjust the rifle barrel to hit at the same point of impact (POI) of...

Just picked up a Remington 14 in 25 Remington with an old Weaver K4 scope. The gun is in good condition with an excellent bore. The scope is a very old Weaver K4, probably the same vintage as the rifle. The scope is clear and useable, but windage and elevation adjustments are exposed. The...

I have a H&R model 700 .22 Mag, semi-auto which I’m considering converting to 5.7X28 mm or a version of it. I re-barreled this gun two years ago with a Green Mountain 22" fluted barrel and thought about converting it then, but decided not to based on the cost of ammo. Now once fired brass is...

Still looking for loads for Lyman Mustang and Blackhorn 209 Powder. I've modded the BP and have absolutely no igintion issues. Also, re-worked the trigger for a smooth 2 1/2 # let off. But I'm looking for what works in the group department. I've tried Hornady 300 and 250 gr XTP's, 245 gr...

Has anyone use Blackhorn 209 powder in a Lyman Mustang Breakopen .50 cal muzzel loader. I just received my Lyman muzzel loader today and tried to fire it. Shot three CCI 209M primers and all fail to ignite the charge. Prior to trying to shoot I had cleaned the barrel and breech plug. Also...

Yesterday, I loaded and fired my first groups with CFE 223 in a 250 AI. These were fired with a double duty hunting rifle and long range F class shooter. I call it my spare parts gun. Built on a used Rem 788 ($150.00), used Kriegger SS heavy match barrel ($100.00) trimmed to 22", used Nikon...

Several years ago there was a post about gun rooms. Here is mine! I built my house about ten years ago. We moved in and continued to finish the inside for several years. During that time I just threw together some tempoary benchs and shelves in one corner of the basement. The last two...

Those who have an HK 630 or SL6 know it is next to impossible to find a 10 round magazine, since they have not been made for years. When you do find one expect to pay $100.00 or more. They are hard to find. So today I started comparing a 4 round mag to an extra AR 10 round mag and decided I...

Here is a sad story with a fairly good ending. In November, I purchased a H&R 700 .22 mag semi-auto in near mint condition. This gun was shot very little and had never had the stock removed from the barrel and receiver in 30 plus years. Here is a picture of it. I planned on using this for...

Hello, I've recently purchased a H&K 630, a gun which I have wanted for a long time. They were always priced to high. Finally found one at a local gunshop on consignment for $1,200.00. I couldn't pass it up any longer. It came with four 4 shot magazines, sling swivals, older Redfield LO-Pro...

Hi here is a picture of a old H&R 700, .22mag semi-auto that I just picked up: This is going to replace my H&K 300 which I want to save. The H&R appears to have been shot very little and no rust. Nynlon buffer slows little sign of firing. Action feels like it isn't even broken in. I took it...

First off, let say I'm a clean freak when it comes to my rifle barrels and guns. Just purchased an Arisaka 6.5X257 Roberts. $150.00 for a 50's or 60's well sportized rifle, with scope and sling. I believe these Arisakas had polygon rifling. Overall, the gun looks very good on the outside...

I have a Rem R-15 with 1:9 twist 20" barrel and want to work up some loads for it. What has worked and not worked for others in the R-15. Yesterday I took it to the range with some federal factory ammo, 50 gr HP. This ammo shot great out of my CZ 527 less than 1/2" group, but I was not...

Has anyone use suplus WC 860. My gunshop has a bunch of 8lbs containers for $80.00. He says it is equivalent to Aa 1680.

Has anyone experience in loading hunting loads in the .45 colt Taurus Thunderbolt pump rifle. I just picked up a use one with less than ten rounds through it. I had the barrel cut to 20". I would like to reload some 265 gr cast bullets for deer at short ranges. Anyone know how much PSI in...

Today I stopped in my local gun shop just to chat. The owner told me his FFL expired last Saturday. He had sent in his renewal, but instead of receiving a FFL renewal, he got a letter on Monday saying he could continue to conduct business. He called around and found out BATF is not renewing any...

Has anyone ever had a trigger job done on their Win 100, or know a gunsmith that will do them. I have several 100's. My goto gun during the deer season is a Win 100 carbine .308. I love this gun and just finished glass bedding the gun that tighten up the grouping, but would like to have a...

I just bought a HK 300 .22 magnum and I need a scope for it. I want to use it for fox and coyotes in upper WI where the shots are under 100yds. I'm retired and after paying for this HK and the holidays, my budget is shot. So I'm looking for a 6x42mm, as they are normally cheaper, lighter and...

Hi first time posting here. I'm in the process of refininshing a shotgun stock. It is stripped and the butt stock is at my gumsmith to have a new recoil pad installed. When I get it back I'll fill, seal and finish with Casey's products. Question is what do I use on the checkering to seal it...

Hey, has anyone ever built a vault out of a closet. I built a house with an extra closet that I had intended on siding a gun safe into. Lately I've been thinking about just lining the inside with several overlapping layers of tile back board and then 1/8" sheet steel, cover the inside steal...
