    Gewehr 98 Rear Sight Option?

    You'll have to do a little right-angle trigonometry based on your known high point-of-impact at 50 yards. This will tell you how much higher your new front sight must be to bring down the P.O.I. to where it needs to be. Numrich offers an assortment. Order several different heights and return...

    Pump Pneumatic for a Kid

    Five (5) pumps on a Benjamin (formerly Sheridan) are plenty for through-and-through shots on aluminum cans. Don't shoot innocent birds, however. It's wanton cruelty.

    Sheridan 5mm/.20cal Air rifle

    Are you familiar with Pyramid Air? In 2012 they sold me a Benjamin CR 397 valve repair kit for my beloved 1963 Sheridan Silver Streak 5mm multi-pump pneumatic rifle. The repair restored full original power. The kit's price was $28 and came with a numbered full schematic drawing of the rifle...

    One of my favorite .22LRs

    Outstanding groups at 50 yards. You could write your name with this .22 !

    One should check their inventory before reloading a caliber.

    500 rounds = reorder point? That's 25 boxes ! Are you reloading for MG-42 or something?

    Reloading start-up

    Did you know that CCI Large Rifle Primers measure 0.126" in thickness, compared to 0.129" for both Federal and Winchester? This is why I've settled on CCI primers.

    What lube do you like for the pivots on your folding knives?

    I use Al Cass FAST Valve, Slide & Key Oil. It's clear as water, odorless and light. Available via Internet, since there are few band instrument stores anymore.

    Does anyone know when Mauser stopped making rifles in the White..

    I can't follow your thinking. Your Oberndorf 1894 receiver isn't in-the-white at all. It's blued.

    Swedish Mauser Model 1896 Question

    Why do you mis-spell "Swede" as "Sweed". Is it your pet name for the M96?
