I betcha four or five such incidents could lead to "flinching"! taa, cs :D

Thanks, all. 1982 eh? Thanks. I'll get that book (catalog) and maybe won't be posting new questions on old, well-known subjects! Good thing I don't embarrass much! "Big" instead of "medium" - oh, the shame of it all! And I am usually a stickler for correct terminology! Anyway - I am...

I mean the list of manufacture dates of the S&W Model 19's? I'd look it up myself if I knew where to look. I just bought my first big-caliber revolver, a 357 6" model 19-5. It is in great shape, came with a nice brown belt holster and I paid $230.00 for it. Curious as to the year. The...

That is a fine-looking .32Rem. Boggles the mind when you think that the factory wood was like that! Are you using the .30 brass for your re-loads? The experts all said that the .32 rem was no good for accuracy. They said the same thing about the 150grain .35Rem. Don't know about the .32...

"Playing a trombone", yeah, that is more of a description of a pump-action. I can't think of a better way to describe that long-recoil method. It is the same principle (basicly) as the Browning A5 shotguns. Only the Remington 8s and 81s have a barrel surrounded by a couple of springs and that...

Remington Model 8 and 81 were years ahead of their time. Big, heavy, slow slugs that were touted as capable of taking anything on the continent! And they did! I think the guys carrying them were better in the bush than the current crop of hunters. Most of them lived where they hunted and...

Hooray, you are responding and paying attention! Now, if you could just picture me as a kind but stern uncle - lets go over a few things. From your post : Fired from the hip to guard against eye and face ... Replaced the bolt ... Old Peters amo had backing out of the primer ... Friend...

Thought my rude posting (about insurance) would jolt him awake. All he has to do is pay attention to the replies here and wherever else he has posted and he can tie the rifle into a tire, get well away and around a corner or behind a tree and touch 'er off with a cord. Then he will have a...

I need your Social Security number for the life insurance policies I want to take out on your stupid ass. taa, cs :D

I think the point Petzal was making was similar to the Browning Sweet Sixteen made in Belgium and the ones made later in Japan. On their own, each looks very nice. Side by side, the ones made in Belgium are seen to be not just very nice, but very, very nice! The Begium makes also suffered...

Without some kind of name or model number, you just aren't going to find out. Same bunch that made them for Western Field made them for Monkey Wards. taa, cs :D

The trigger is a red-headed stepchild, slap it! taa,cs :D

Since the idiots running the military ordnance have once again decided that giving troops the option of full-auto is a waste of ammo, every full-auto the troops can get ahold of, gets grabbed! The skill involved in firing full-auto is gained very quickly, you just don't have to empty the mag...

In regards to the constant quest for greater accuracy with standard hunting rifles, I would highly reccommend reading an article in the December 2004 issue of "Accurate Rifle". Nothing very complicated, no "polishing" with valve-grinding compound. Gives the feeling that "hey, I can do this"...

Getting onto shakey ground as Brownells uses different terms than Browning. But not to worry, I think what they call the screw, rear, - is actually the pin. Anyhow just get one of each - except for the trigger plate for crossbolt safety! Egads and gadzooks! Those things cost some serious...
