    A question for Steyr M95 Experts

    I love my Steyr M95 Carbine -except when I shoot it :rolleyes: (it's kind of a love/hate relationship) :eek: Seriously though the bolt is a b***h to operate - I've used (almost) all lubes known to man-kind (or at least to me) but it is still hard to work. Not so much pushing it forward but...

    The next step: Flintlocks?

    Now that I have a percussion rifle and pistol, I may want to get a a flintlock rifle and pistol (it may be awhile don't know when - down the road through). I can get a flintlock rifle from the place when I got my percussion gun but they don't carry flintlock pistols - any suggestions?

    Took a non-shooter to the range

    (Sorry for the late post - been busy) Last sat my son and I went out to our favorite range (in the bay area). A few days before my son asked me if it would be OK to bring his friend, who never ever shot a firearm (FYI - both are over 21, so ). Of course I said yes-any chance to take a...

    Last after I got back from the range shooting my new black powder (which was a blast btw!) and was cleaning it. I was almost done, I ran my final patch through it (that had a bit of oil on it) and when I pulled the cleaning rod out: NO PATCH! (I had run out of my reg patches and was using other...

    Scout-Scope recommendations

    I several milsurp rifles that have the the standard rear sites on them (like this): I love them but as I get old-er, (mid-50's) it is getting harder and harder to see them. This is esp true with my Yugo 24/47, those rear sites are tiny as hell (the yugoslavs must had some great eye site!) I...

    Dispite my best efforts

    I have few "brown spot" inside my single-shot black powder pistol. Doesn't too serious, so how git rid of these areas before it turns into a bigger problem. I've drubbed the hell out of after my last shoot, and ran a few patches with oil down the barrel. So what did I do wrong? :confused:

    Milsurp Bayonet Storage

    Over the past few years, I've collected a few milsurp bayonets but really didn't have a place to store them (besides sticking them in a box). So yesterday I came up with this: [/URL][/IMG] This is the initial version - improvements to come later but for right now this will work. So what do...

    2nd (follow-up) shots - Your thoughts?

    I dislike putting another round into a animal but I know as a ethical-hunter - necessary. When I first started deer hunting, I learned that lesson the hard way in my 2nd season of deer hunting: My Dad and I was sitting on the back side of swamp (we knew people would start moving around about...
