    Shooting My New to Me, Winchester SL 1910, .401

    Hi there, I'm starting to shoot my 1910 SL. This gun is a direct blow back rifle with an extremely large and heavy bolt. I made brass from 30-30 cases and have some Western 250 grain lead bullets. I drilled and tapped it for a scope base and have a Burris Mini 4X scope mounted. Load data...

    For Fun I've been Shooting My Savage 219 Rifles

    For just play, I've been shooting my old Savage 219 single shot rifles. I have them in .22 Hornet, .25-20 and .30-30. I've got plenty of ammo for all three. But going to try loading some light weight spitzers in the .25-20 since it is a single shot. Missing one rifle from my collection in .32-20.

    Beware of Global Firearms Suppliers, Scammers

    Global Firearms Suppliers is a scam site. I got took by them on a pistol purchase. I should have known better, but wanted the pistol to round out my Beretta collection. When it wasn't delivered as specified, I tried contacting them for two days. They would not respond to my chat posts or...

    Browning Hi-Power Value

    Hello there is another post here asking a similar question, which I did not want to hijack. I'm trying to get the feel for the value of my Hi-Power. It is a Belgium Browning. I've had this since the early 80's. I picked it up in a trade. It has adjustable rear sight and a gold color...

    Added Another Savage 219 to My Collection

    I couldn't help myself and bought another Savage 219. Last fall I bought a Savage 219 in .22 Hornet. It had an engraved receiver and I couldn't pass it up. Bought it for under $400.00. Then in December after reading more about the 219's I decided to get a 30-30 Win barrel for it. I eventually...

    Winchester Low Wall, Built By J. Dewey, NY

    Just read a post on Winchester Low Wall parts and it got me thinking. In 1965, I was 15 and bought a Winchester Low Wall rifle in .218 Bee caliber. The barrel was stamped, J. Dewey, NY. I think it was re-barrel, not sure, but it was a great little rifle. The owner collected vintage muzzle...

    Fired Two Boxes of 9mm Out of my Aero Survival Rifle Today

    It is winter and I don't shoot as much as I would like. But today I fired two boxes of ammo out of my Aero Survival rifle. I mainly wanted to try out the trigger. When I got the gun the trigger was just awful, 8 plus pounds and very gritty. I've got it down to a crisp 3.5 pounds now. I...

    Winchester 100 Carbines

    My favorite deer rifle is the Winchester 100 carbine in 308 Win. I have a lot of suitable deer rifles but the Winchester 100 carbine is by far my favorite deer rifle. The 100 carbine was made with a plain stock, but many years ago I checkered the stock. I bedded the stock in a four step...

    Crazy Prices of Used Scopes

    I like to put gloss scopes on older vintage rifles, but no one makes gloss scopes any more. The remaining option is to look for used rifle scopes for sale on EBay, Gun Broker and else where. But the prices for good old American made scopes - Leupold, Burris and Redfield are crazy! Some are...

    European Combo guns

    There is another post here about a BRNO gun. Brno guns are well made and will last a life time. I had commented in that post and did not want to hijack it. I'm posting pics on two of my European combo's. The first is a Sabatti 12 ga, 2 3/4" over 6.5 X 57R. A great and pretty gun. I bought...

    Cleaning Rifles, Shotguns and Pistols

    I'm pretty rigid in cleaning my rifles, shotguns and pistols; before range time and after, before hunting season and after. My deer rifles are stripped and cleaned before hunting season and after, even though usually there are only two shots fired - a fowling shot and a kill shot. My most...

    Teslong Bore Scope

    About two years ago I purchased a bore scope off Amazon for less than $50.00. At that price, I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised at the quality and what I could see. It was very easy to see where copper was stuck to the rifling and where it wasn't. Easy to see rough rifling or rust...

    Glass Bedding the Winchester 100

    Hi, Recently there have been a few post mentioning the Winchester model 100 as alternative to modern semi-auto hunting rifles. I have used several Win 100's for deer hunting for many decades. These are my go to deer hunt rifles, and I have many guns. The one most often carried is a 100...

Calibers include .22 LR, 9mm, 357 Sig, 40 SW, 10mm, 45 ACP, and 460 Rowland. I fired it today, shooting about 2-2.5" groups with my...
