After several hundred various loads, the big gun likes .54cal sabots stuffed with .44Mag pistol bullets on top of 35gr fffg :) Made it in 1989 from a kit :D

It's a singleshot with a "TYROL" stamped on the receiver along with a styelized crowned eagle with a round shield with "TMH" on the shield. Stamped "Made in Austria" on the barrel and having Austrian proofs. Good trigger, godaweful sights, halfmoon extracter mounted on a rail under the bolt...

Hi Rich & Everyone else! I knew there was a reason why I kept this site bookmarked. Glad to see TFL up & running (again). :D

I have a little Swedish Cavelry Carbine that has never been able to hit the side of a barn at 100yds - even with the addition of the high front sight avilable as an aftermarket addon. Turns out from an aiterpretation of the stock disk that it was issued as a Gallery practice rifle ="B" for...

by the patent dates - 1901 & 1906 and the finish (Blued) and the grips (factory checked) and the frame (hand ejector ) and the 6.5"barrel length, I'm pretty sure it was preWWI production. But this big revolver is barrel marked '.455' but is chamberd for the .45Long Colt. It has a lanyard...

The Winchester 52 series and the model 75? Both are tackdriving target rifles, but the 75 was sold for a cheaper price. Where were the differences? Barrel, trigger, lockwork, stock, sights? Knowledgable help would be appreciated.:D

An opinion poll put up by a San Diego News station on wheather a law making Safety Helmets manditory for skateboarders and scooter riders under the age of 18 should be enacted, is running "No" 67%to "Yes" 29%, 4% "Undecided". The law, in the works in the California Legislature would be similar...

I have a little "Made in Austria" .22 Short single shot boltaction with a split bridge receiver, a seperate rail mounted halfmoon extracter like the Polish Wz48 trainers and a seperate safety mounted behind the bolt . The bolt is an enclosed head design and cocks on closing the action. This...

I vaguely recall reading that someone had reworked the little Steyer-Mannlicher carbines to shoot the 45-70 or .444. sounds like an intresting project. The little Austrian carbines are fun to shoot if you can stand the kick, but that milsurp 8x56R ammo they use isn't going to last forever. :(...

I've seen the rifles before, but this one is a Carbine + 18" barrel tubefeed under the barrel, Barrel band, a straight grip stock without a Monte Carlo comb - looks like an English-style shotgun, and it has a brass buttplate. Cant figure the "Gills machined into the left side of the receiver - 6...

I've used a single stage RCBS Rockchucker for a couple of decades, but heck, it's 150 miles away, and some guy at the local range GAVE me a Dillon RL-450 progressive press with all the attendent powder and primerfeed bells &whistles and Dies (RCBS Carbide) for .45ACP, .357/38spl and .44Mag. :D...

Just picked up a 2002 Mossberg catalog - the featured new product is their SSi "package" :cool: SSi Stands for Single Shot interchangeable !:) = One receiver with classic topbreak single shot configuration, nice wood, tang safty, automatic ejection, and a choice of 9 different barrels to...

I have the sabots, they are red plastic thingys that take .223/224 bullets. I'm looking to stuff 50 or 55gr SP/HP bullets in them and load them into .308 and 30-06 cases. Load data from my source was 'sketchey' and I'm trying to work up some loads for varmint shooting. Anyone have any...

For the number of centerfire rifles I shoot, a coat with the proper padding is the difference between fun and PAIN! :eek: I find a shooting jacket provides a level of comfort even when shooting rimfires and benchrest...I have very boney elbows that don't like being dug into dirt or a concrete...

Recently saw a documentary on coyotes that showed a rancher flying in an ultralight dusting running coyotes. The dogs didn't stand a chance...got the idea this was a depredation type shoot rather than sport but couldn't get a good look at what he was using or where the action was taking place...

Finally came across a scope mount for the M1 Carbine at less than the sky-hi prices I've found netshopping = gunshow. Took less than 5 minutes with a brass punch & tackhammer to get the back sight off and the mount installed in the vacant dovetale. :) Spliced on a Burris 1" Red Dot scope and...

Read a neighboring thread regarding a choice between .223 and .308's interesting, as I have both, but too - I have a .243 and a 6.5X55 and a 6.5X50 , and have owned a 25-06, all of these chamberings will do anything the lightweights will do, and can hold their own quite well with any of the...

I picked up a can for my 22 Hornet loads, and it functions very well with low chamber pressure for max loads, but I'd like to know what other calibers of rifle and pistol loads people are using this powder in.

Hi! Just joined & the place looks great;) I'm in the planning stages of a 'project' involving a newly acquired Universal made M1. I want to scope it and sporterize it to the extent of substituting a thumbhole stock for the military styled one. I'm having trouble finding a stock:( ...Anyone...
