I have an old German scope that is in perfect condition except it is missing the cap that goes over the windage adjustment. I have the other one from the elevation adjustment. Does anyone know where I might get a new one manufactured? I can use the one I have as a pattern for the new one. I...

I had an informative conversation with Bob at Freedom Arms today and learned something new. I was at the range this weekend with my 7 ½ inch Model 83 in 454. I was shooting light cow boy action loads (250 grain RNFP over 5 grains of Trail Boss) through my 45 LC cylinder. The gun was shooting...

I bought a 1964 vintage Browning Medalist a month or so ago. The gun is beautiful and the weights and tool came with it. The case was badly damaged and the loading block, key and documentation were missing so I got it for a very reasonable price. I finally took it to the range today. From the...

I am getting ready for a range day tomorrow and sat down and made a list of things that need to go to the range with me. My range is an hour away and often as not I forget something that I needed or wish I had with me. I usually shoot bulls eye but do some rifle and tactical shooting. For now...

A couple of decades ago I took a beautiful Hipower off a bad guy. It had what looked like a nickel finish but with a hint of gold to it. It had beautiful wood grips that really complemented the metal finish color. It wasn't an over the top pimp gun, the gold or yellow coloring was subtle as...

Anybody have any history on Waffen Dschulnig in Salzburg Austria. My Dad bought one of these new in Germany in 1963. Beautiful rifle Mauser action 30-06 with the original claw mounts and German scope. I'm trying to find out more about the company. The business still exists but their web...

I have a hankering for a Smith & Wesson 52-1 or 2 but to confuse things I come find out there are 952s out there that are interesting as well. I shoot bullseye but won’t be using either of these to compete. Which ever one I choose wont get more than a couple of hundred rounds per year. I...

I'm looking at scope mounts for a model 56 Mannlicher Schoenauer. I have found three options the Watts Walnut two piece mounts, and the EAW mounts. The one piece side mounts wont work as I need the separate receiver front mount to cover some ugly poorly done mounting holes that will have to be...

At what point does a reconditioning become a refinishing? I just took delivery of a Mannlicher Shoenauer model 56. The metal is very good the stock is tired. Very few dents, the only cuts are in the top layer of the finish. Some of the finish is flakey and on the sharper edges like along the...

Folks, I am new to reloading. I built a few hundred 45 ACP, LSWC loads for bulls eye competition and found a good load for my particular pistol so I understand reloading as far as that goes. I am now attempting to build loads for my Freedom Arms 454 Casull. I need somebody to check my math...

I was considering purchasing a modern (tang safety) model 94 Winchester with a 20" octagon barrel today. In looking it over I noticed the band between the magazine tube and the barrel looks like its made of plastic. It had what appeared to be a molding seam running the circumference of the...

I need a little help. I just took delivery of a new USFA SAA a couple of weeks ago and ordered it with unfinished one piece walnut grips. In order to install the grips I have to remove the grip pin at the bottom of the trigger guard/front strap. This is not a roll pin; it is solid. I gave it...

I went by my aunts the other day and she surprised me by giving me my Grandpa's old gun, a Rohm RG24 in the original box with the sales receipt, the half page two-sided pink paper manual and a box of "Revelation Super Range Cartridges". He paid $29.95 for the gun, $0.77 for the rounds and $1.24...

I just put down a deposit on the USFA SA Revolver in 357. I have a couple of questions I hope some of you might answer. First off to narrow the responses, I won’t compete with it, round count will be relatively low (100 per outing…500 per year). I'm diligent about cleaning (therapy) First...

I recently acquired a Freedom arms model 83 premium grade in 454 Casull. I've decided it needs a stable mate. After some looking around, it seems that what I have in mind doesn't exist but the components do. How does this sound... A Ruger No. 1 International in stainless steel chambered in...

I'm getting the urge to spend too much money on a Freedom Arms revolver in .357. My question is will the .357 shoot .38 ammunition like all the other .357s I own or is it necessary to have the .38 conversion. If it will shoot .38s with the .357 cylinder what is the advantage of the .38...

Folks, I'm assigned overseas and will be returning home this summer for a visit with a nine-year-old boy who is due for his first rifle. We will be spending time in the Bluffton, Hilton Head South Carolina area. I'm looking for a range or an open piece of ground for my young man to shoot for...
