    Here's one for the record books

    Okay! Customer comes in, says he has a squib or two stuck in the barrel, asks can we get it out? Sure. Start checking, and find at least 10 ring bulges in the barrel, after measuring from the breach end and the muzzle end we determined there was an obstruction at least 10" long in the bore...

    Does anyone here hunt pronghorn in Wyoming?

    I am trying to plan a hunting trip for my son. This will be his first big game hunting trip, so I thought pronghorn would be a good choice since they are a pretty easy animal to bag, IME, yet still hard enough to make it seem like a real adventure for an 8 year old boy. I have never hunted...

    444 Marlin?

    And now for something completely different. I have always liked the idea of the 444 Marlin, ever since I first heard of it. It's just a neat cartridge. Always wanted a 444 rifle. [/URL][/IMG] I know, I know. You opened this expecting to see a Marlin lever rifle. Too bad. Never wanted a...

    Rifle training

    Hi guys. Just a general question, trying to get a feel for interest. A friend of mine (USMC scout/sniper, 20-yr SWAT instructor, tactical shooter, long range shooter) has authored a book on rifle marksmanship from basic to very advanced, and is going to print the book and offer it for sale...

    Question about pre-ban upper

    I have a customer who wants a flat-top upper for his Colt SP1. Who makes and sells one? I have seen the Del-Ton upper assemblies, but he just wants the upper receiver and switch out the barrel and parts from his other upper.

    Question about Lithgow M1 rifles

    I had a customer bring in a Lithgow (Australian) M1 rifle. I have never seen one, and this rifle is in very nice condition, much nicer than the average US M1 I see regularly. Any info on this rifle would be appreciated.

    Obama's gun control announcement

    By the time you read this, it will be in the news. President Obama is making an announcement right not about gun control. Letters from children to sway the harder hearts, but I have no doubt this is just the beginning of the effort.

    Remington's newest economy rifle

    Remington just announced the Remington 783 on their web site. Looks like a rework of the 710/770 model, but I have not seen any details yet. It looks like the econo-wars are heating up!

    Project gun- What should I chamber it for?

    Here's the deal: I was just given a DWM 1893 Mauser. The barrel is not pretty, to say the least. The stock has been chopped and the action is pieced together from several different guns (serial numbers on receiver, bolt, magazine, bolt shroud, etc, do not match). So it is a project gun...

    A little bit of eye candy for you folks

    A few jobs I recently completed. Enjoy! Remington 700 in fiddleback maple, absolutely beautiful piece of wood! Winchester 1886 Lightweight Rifle XX Fancy American black walnut. That is a really nice piece of wood. Something a little less classic and a little more fun. Remington 700...

    Savage 99 production date?

    I am trying to find the production date for a Savage 99 takedown in .250-3000 Savage, serial number 3334XX. The rifle wears a Koll Morgen Bearcub 4X scope in Stith Mounts scope bases/rings. Any information on the scope will be educational to me, as I have never heard of either the scope or...
