Looking at a rifle in LGS that is a Mauser 98k action converted to .300 H&H magnum. My guess is whoever did this conversion had to remove material from the front lug, possibly the feed ramp etc. to make room for the longer overall cartridge length of the old H&H cartridge. It has a one piece old...

So, I'm really interested in this gun, as a shootable option to fill in a wwII collection. Being that 8mm Kurz is somewhat like hens' teeth around my neck of the woods, wouldn't .300 Blackout be the next best choice for maintaining the form / function of the 8mm Kurz round without affecting the...

Hi all, I am looking at IMR powder's "Handloader's Guide" and they list 59.0 grains (Compressed load) of IMR 4831 for a 150 grain ptd spcl. for the .30-06. My question is with this load, is whether it safe to back off the charge a hair - say 57-58 grains, or not. Is this listed compressed load...

Hi all, ATF charged my credit card on October 19th for my C&R license renewal. This is the first time I have renewed it. About how long should I expect to wait before actually seeing it after my card is charged? My current one expires in December and I'm hoping I have it by then. Thanks for...

I'll start it.

Has anybody bought one of these 20'' Remington 870 barrels manufactured by Target Sports that CDNN is selling for $69.99? Are they any good? Are these made in China? General Thoughts and opinions are appreciated.

Hi all. I'm making up for the serious lack of any "old west" style guns in my inventory. As far as lever action rifles go, I'm looking at two guns right now. A Marlin Cowboy in .45lc for ~$799 and an Uberti 1873 20 inch octagonal bbl .45lc rifle for ~$1050. To be honost, I really like the...

Hi all, What's a good front sight removal tool for a remington model 760 pump rifle front sight. Anybody have recomnedations and a link??? Thanks!

Hi all, This might be a crazy question, but here goes. I have a nice supply of Hornady 250 gr. XTPs. I also have a nice supply of Pyrodex RS (FFG equivalent). Does anybody know if this can be loaded together to drive these XTPs about 750 - 775 fps.? Most of the black-powder loads or BP...

Does anybody know of a good Inside the Waisband holster for an FNP-40?? I love the gun, but holster options are pretty low at least on Midway USA's site where I typically pick this sort of stuff up. Thanks.

Hi all, I'm not sure whether this thread should go here or in the general forum. Here is my question. My 1911 style pistol (Kimber Eclipse) goes with me pretty much everywhere. If the gun is "cocked and locked" for over a week straight will this harm the lock work, etc. Or for weeks on end...

Can you use a Winchester model 97, or more precisely a "Chin-Chester" clone thereof, in it's wwI trench gun guise without having to take the heat shield and bayonet lug off in CAS?

Hi all. Is it true that the loading gate should be closed last on a traditional (i.e. no transfer bar) single action army type pistol when loading it? I always knew that you should load one skip one, then load four, cock and close on the empty cylinder chamber, but I always closed the loading...

Picked up a Beretta Stampede the other day. NOT because it was my first choice in single action .45s, but because it was like new in the box and priced at $365 because the local dealer had a sale going on. So in other words even though I would have preferred to have done without the transfer bar...

Does anybody have a Beretta Stampede with the old west finish? If so, how do you like it? Is it durable? Can anybody post a few pics? Thanks.

Hi all. I loaded up about 50 rounds of 7.5x55 swiss ammo. The brass was brand new virgin brass from GRAFS (headstamped Grafs). The C.O.L. was fine on all of the pieces of brass. I did not run them through a FL sizer die thinking that virgin brass should be the proper size. I couldn't chamber...

Hi all, Been reloading for about 20 years. I've never thought about cleaning brass with a tumbler. But you can teach an old dog new tricks. What is a good setup to get? Can you use anybody's brand "media" in another brand's tumbler? My reloading equipment is all sorts of colors, RCBS green...

Hi all, Does the S&W 325PD use moon clips? Also what about the model 22 "Thunder Ranch" model? The last one that I have been looking at is Smith's reissue of the classic model of 1917. I am pretty sure that one requires moon clips I am pretty much a .45ACP fan and have been thinking about a...

If somebody could take all of the parts kits that are being turned into STG-44 "dummy guns", manufacture the necessary US parts, to create a semi-auto only firing replica, I think it would have a market for the WWII collector enthusiasts. I would make one of the US parts a 7.62x39 barrell...

Does anybody know who makes a scout mount that can attach to the rear sight base for a k-31 schmidt rubin rifle. I am looking for something that preferebly would not require drilling & tapping. Thanks for input.
