I just sold a M44. I was going to put a Scout scope on it but changed my mind. I have a small Limbsaver slip on buttpad that works fine, also an ATI stock that slips right on(also on 91-30). You can have both for $50. If any interest let me know. Also have the scout scope mount and an LER...

I was looking for a bolt-action 30-06 or 308 to have as a plinker/shtf rifle. Did a lot of searching here and other forums. Was looking at new from Buds or a decent looking used locally. Found a nice used Howa 1500(asking $399) and a used Savage 111 with scope(asking $319) at a local shop...

Thanks for your replies. I think I will buy the electronic muffs and try them out next time I get out shooting. I will try them first without my hearing aids in and see how that works. Really like hearing that pling/clang. Thanks again.

I have searched several forums and did not find what I was looking for, or maybe chose to ignore it. I am an old far--guy with hearing loss, wear hearing aids etc. One of the main joys I get/got when shooting is hearing the "pling" noise when I hit the metal target. But wearing rubber plugs...

I have a PT-145 and a PT-111, both Millenium Pro(3rd gen). Both have functioned perfectly. Have about 700 rounds thru the PT-145 & about 500 thru the PT-111. Have had trouble getting use to the Heinie sights but I am an old man and slow to change. Both are good pocket pistols(cargo pants)...

There has been a lot of discussion on this subject on the Saiga-12.com forum. One member was trying to modify a 20 round mag to work but have not seen any offered for sale. Tough enough finding 8 round mags.

Mooseman: No corrosion problems. T/C rep was just against using military brass as might be thicker etc. Just trying to avoid problems as my "toys" money is limited. Thanks

I am thinking of getting a T/C Encore pistol/rifle in 308 for plinking etc. I have a supply of Port. and Australian 308 to use up and wonder if anyone has used surplus in theirs. Tried a search here and on TFL but no real help. One guy stated he used South African in his Encore rifle and did...

Leupold use to make a grip panel replacement scope mount base. I bought one 2-3 years ago. Just replaces one of the factory plastic grip panels. Can still use the iron sights. Sits a little high but I like it.

I had concerns too about corrosive ammo a couple of years ago but found out through some websites that it is not really a big problem. I got some corrosive 7.62x54R and 8mm from AIM Surplus and/or J&G Sales. I used the ammo in several Moisin-Nagants and Mausers without a problem. Just be sure...

Thanks for the input. Understand your point but I am trying to find a yearround setup that will work in 115 degree days during the summer. Due to my age and the general area the fannypack won't stand out. Many "geezers" wear them. Have carried a Sig 220 and 229 in a fannypack but want to try...

I would like to ccw a 4" barrel revolver such as GP100, S&W686 or S&W28 in a fannypack such as Eagle's or similar. Is this possible? Has anyone ever carried such a setup and if so how did it work? Don't have the revolver yet and thought I would get some input first. Any opinions welcomed. TIA

I am going to setup a reloading bench using two wood file cabinets as a base. My choices at Home Depot for a top are 1) kitchen counter top 2' x 6', 2) a piece of laminated pine 2'x6'x1 1/4 or 3) 3/4 inch plywood cut to 2x6 and double layered. Seating span is about 30 inches. Can those...

sm, Thanks for the info. Sounds like a good "tool" and I will try it. Was really looking for ways to minimize the "ring" buildup which I thought came mainly from the melted lead from the base of the bullet. By using only FMJ or at least base jacketed bullets I was hoping to avoid lead...

I just bought a new Marlin 1894C in .357/38spec. and want to avoid the "crud ring" in the chamber by shooting only FMJ 38 specials, WWB. This is primarily a fun plinking rifle but I want to be able to fire 357's without extraction problems etc. In a handgun I was always able to use bronze wool...

Got a catalog selling Mauser VZ24 actions, new 308 barrels, stocks etc. I have been looking for something to do ( indoors) gun related and thought about building up a VZ24 in 308. But is this something an average guy can do or am I looking for headaches? I have taken apart and cleaned up 15...

Bought one new last week and paid $260.

Can the XD-9 subcompact be carried as a pocket pistol? I know there are "smaller" ones but wonder if the XD could be carried in a cargo pocket? Anyone who has one please give an opinion. TIA

I am thinking about buying a bolt-action 308 fun/plinking rifle(no hunting). Either a Ruger, Savage or Tikka probably. I have a lot of surplus NATO 7.62x51 from Portugal. It shot well in an AR-10 and a Saiga. Any reason not to use this ammo in a bolt-action rifle? I did have a tough...

I recently got an RWS model 34 with scope in .177 for about $230. It is sold as a "demo" but with full RWS new warrenty. Found a lot of good info on the Airgun Forum and other sites. Like most things it is almost a matter of personal choice and budget. Many choices available; .177, .22, .25...
