    Absolutely No Live Ammunition In The Training Area.

    The situation must be addressed and quickly resolved before I'd enter the room again. I sometimes have doubts trusting myself without visually checking at least twice, so why should I put myself in with folks which don't follow the simplest of requirements for safety purposes.

    Old single shot 12 guage

    Elebenty-seben ducats. I like old single shots and want to see it at the least.

    If you could only have one semiautomatic 22lr

    I'm gonna stick with my old 550-1 because of it's reliability, SLLR ability without a hitch, and also the amazing accuracy for an old inexpensive rifle. I also like the feel it has at my shoulder. There's better, prettier, and more costly, but I just happen to be really fond of this one for some...

    Browning Auto 5

    My A5 came to me from my paternal grandfather and it was bought by him long ago. Of course the handguard is cracked. According to the serial research I've managed to do it was produced in 1928. The varnish has softened and lends itself to scratching easily. Overall the bluing is very good with...

    Why do I do this to myself?

    870's are an excellent flavor. I've a couple and could certainly find room for more. Especially one in 16ga.

    Question for G43 owners.

    Restore as well as you can, shoot, clean, preserve. Honestly, I would have it out of the safe more than in it because I couldn't resist handling and admiring the piece. There's just something about those rifles which mesmerizes me.

    Building a ppsh41 from a kit

    As I said early no good. Mine from three years ago is done very well on both trunnion and receiver. The barrel is original also.

    Building a ppsh41 from a kit

    I've had a build languishing for several years now. Cold Steel makes/made the trunnion and %80 receiver at reasonable cost. Their early attempts were not so good but the later are GTG. You'll have to decide on hammer or striker fire, also 9mm conversion doesn't go real well to my understanding...

    To re-finish or not?

    Nice. Clean and shoot.

    Inherited Winchester Model 12

    Grew up shooting mine. '29model 32"full. I haven't shot it in probably 30yrs. or so. I love it and don't want to put any more wear on the old gal because I want some left for the grandson.

    Compromise?

    Subjugation.

    Why have both .223 and 5.56?

    Now you're making me google and go measure.

    Building a 22WMR from scratch

    Buy a milling vise for it and make sure you've plenty of time and patience to go with it.

    Nylon 66 Worth It?

    A friend bought one in the 70's. He ran that thing fiercely for 20 yrs. and sold it for more than it cost. Never through brick after brick did it ever fail, also it was far more accurate than my 10-22. I'd love to get my hands on one, but not for 4c. Nylon/white diamond it was.

    Mak 90s: matching #s, polished triggers?

    The drum is windage adjustment. Not too many AK's are spot on when populating the barrel.
