:eek: I have a bunch of 8x56R cases (with the dimpled primer!). Mil surplus dated 1938 with a nazi eagle and swastika (sp?) on the head stamp. I dont even leave the empties at the range!:eek:
I bought some commercial reloads (Minute Man) some time ago # 45 out of 50 kicke like a mule, jammed the cylinder and when I got the cylinder open thr primer fell out and I had to use a rod to get the empty case out. I only use reloads from a very good and careful friend.
Contender 45-70 (handgun variety) with a 16 inch barrel, satisfying clang from 50 yards away. ONCE! it's just too muzzle heavy to hold for long with one hand. Recoil wasn't too bad.
In the good old days the only Bobbies armed were rare. (#10 Downing St
and places like that). When circumstances warranted they were armed
with whatever surrendered or otherwise available guns they had.
Used to be a great sight, Bobbies in uniform, one with a us military holster
complete...
I had a great one too. The only two new guns to come into the house
were hers. She even got her hunting license and we both helped out at the Hunter Ed. class for several years. Sadly the Lord did an early recall, I miss her.
Why does everyone want imported firearms.
Isn't the average member of this board at least
a little patriotic? How about American guns for American
military?
Swedish MilSurp 6.5x55 has a mild steel jacket no copper coating.
Apparently that's the way the Swedes have being doing it for years.
My Carl Gustafsen (?spelling, I'm not opening the safe at this time of night to check) still has a great bore and its about 90 years old.
Hmmm a few oopses there.
".9mm", ".12ga" .9mm might wound a housefly.
.12 ga is something along the lines of naval big gun
The "." was on every caliber description
When they unpacked the 50 cal one of the hosts was
standing uncomfortably close to the business end.
Oh yes, the owner told...
There's been a lot of discussion about dry fire on the Ruger forum
recently http://www.rugerforum.com there have been occasional
broken transfer bars attributed to dryfiring. The majority of folks there
say that there's no problem. I've dry fired my Rugers with no broken bits
but I'm...
Hollow point and soft point ammo vs ball. Military use is restricted to ball.
Hunters get to use HP and SP. 'Taint a fair comparison.
Then there's the question of recoil. Troopers of old complained about the
45-70 govt round.
My guess is that they use whatever ammo is in the "hidden" house gun that the bgs steal when you aren't home. There is no safe hiding place from bgs and children.
Poe 9999,
I feel that if you feel strongly enough to post here you probably
should not keep the gun. Trade or sell. I have several milsurp rifles
and have no problems either, but that's me, follow your feelings.
My late wife and I went to the Gun Store to pick up a .22 revolver. We ended up with he picking out a new blue GP100, 4",full lug and fixed sights. I got a slightly used Redhawk (never thought I'd own a SS gun!!). Never even looked at the .22. Anyway now its mine (on paper, at least, its...
Diamondback, conjugal visits with the gun only. She's a very good friend but spoken for.
Thanks for the welcome, It's more than a full time job just reading all the posts here ... I tried.
Diamondback, I like your logic. Dinner, drinks etc.with a lady costs the down payment on a nice gun. I used that logic on myself and have a $600 MIG welder.
Back to topic six years ago 6" model 19 with x2 Burris scope 98+%
$250. Don't have it any more, a very special lady friend fell in...
I had to go to http://defensereview.com then scroll down
to the article on Dread, open the article and download the
video onto my computer. Ran fine then. It was a little
disappointing - lots of animation.
I have Quicktime but couldn't view on line. Maybe the
free version is missing...
I read, on either here or the Ruger forum, that you can use an
empty case with teeth filed in the ‘open’ end with a small
triangular file and a handle of some kind soldered into the
primer pocket. Just check for burrs. This shouldn’t do any
damage to the chamber (brass cases only)...
