Very good info, thank you all. I talked to the smith, he's reputable and aware of making threads concentric to the bore and doesn't need the can. He does jobs for a few guys here at work, I just wasn't aware of the process. I believe I'm in good hands. Thanks again

Interesting, thank you. That Ruger might be the ticket. But my CZ would be awesome too. Would the gunsmith need the can along with the rifle for this job? I don't have one yet.

I'm wanting a .22 LR bolt gun with a threaded barrel. I have a nice CZ 452 bull barrel varmint. Would it be wise or practical to have a gunsmith thread this rifle's barrel? Or should I just buy one already threaded from the manufacturer? It wouldn't necessarily have to be a CZ but a quality...

After searching, this one was made in August, 1975.

Okay, just got home and it doesn't appear to be anything super special. It has pressed checkering and just says Wingmaster model 870. Ser. No. is T221XXXV if that helps. It has a full choke 30" barrel. The front "bead" on top of the vent rib is about a 5" tube with what looks like a 1" orange...

From what pics I've searched for, it probably is a TB. I know little about trap and skeet, but from what I understand is that trap guns are set up so the shot pattern is above point of aim for rising targets? I learned that about 2 min. ago searching around on here. Also don't know the...

I'm at work so no pics now and I don't remember the exact model no. Thanks for the replies, will try to get more info. Thanks again.

Hi all. My son, 18, recieved a very nice 870 Wing Master 12 guage when his grandpa passed. We went out to bust some clay pigeons for the first time with it the other day. When bringing up the gun to fire, the stock doesn't let you get your eye low enough to look down the vent rib. Is it called...

I missed a Franchi 48 AL the other day, it went for 200.00.

I bought one of those new back in 1985 from a friend/dealer at cost for 175$. It is by far my favorite and best shooter, and I have many .22s. Thinking about getting the Volquarzen trigger upgrade. You will love it.

Hi guys, I picked up an Aimpoint 3000 red dot scope yesterday at a small town gun show for 50 bucks. Are these any good? I have a Colt AR flat top that I might put it on but I'm kind of confused about how to go about it. Wouldn't the front sight post be in the way? Is there some way to mount the...

Thanks for the reply, I called CZ USA earlier and they said it would be fine in this rifle to shoot both, a CZ 527 FS. On Bud's Guns, when looking at 527s, nearly all say .223/5.56 NATO in the descriptions. Is there anyone out there who owns a 527 in .223? Is 5.56 stamped on any of the...

Hi all, my buddy just picked up a CZ 527 with a Mannlicher sp? stock and Leupold VX II glass. I told him to get it because all the ones I've seen anywhere are good to shoot .223 as well as 5.56 X 45. Well, I ordered 1000 rounds of Lake City ammo from Ammoman to split with him before I saw the...

I have the opportunity to buy a Bushmaster Varminter with the 24 inch barrel, fired only a few times for 800.00. It is like new and comes with some accessories and soft case. The one at Bud's Guns says stainless. Are there other models of Varminter? What is ya'lls opinion of this rifle and is...

I've just built up a 10-22, barrel, stock, trigger group, extractor, nice scope, you know the works, and will sight it in this weekend. Could someone tell me why people recommend squaring the bolt face to a .0425 rim depth and also pinning the firing pin so it cannot raise up? How do these mods...
