What process do you use to turn .243 into 6.5 Jap? If you have already posted it, let me know and I’ll look it up. Thanks!

I have two of them that also fail to fire on occasion. I was told by one of my gunny friends that there is an additional pin that I need to check. The way he described it, this pin is somewhere in the bolt assembly and that it will fall out during regular operation of the rifle. When it...

I really enjoy that show! Make a good list for things you want so you can fill it! I always need some parts...they have them. I started a Thompson centerfire build and always find more stuff to add to it. Any accessories of any kind can be found there. If you are a hand loader...

Well, the line did look long but then some folks came out and sold tickets to those who had exact change and we went right on in. Am having a really good time so far... Couldn't even cover the whole lower level yet! Folks seem to be really interested in my Ruger p90 but not at all with my...

I am one of those folks who LIKE gun shows, so if you do not, please do not feel you have to waste time replying. We have several good shows here in Amarillo, three per year from from the club I am in plus about 4-6 more with about 110-120 tables each show... but this weekend I am attending...

I'll add to it... I don't flinch when shooting my .41mag, but I do when I shoot a .44mag... Makes the .41 superior in MY hands!! :neener:

You want to approach the vendor before he starts to put everything away...It may be an hour or two before the show ends. If he is resigned already to hold on to the gun til the next show, he will be less likely to deal on it. In fact, if you go in early on Sunday in this part of the world, the...

I find that I can get a better value if I can find a trade, instead of a sale. And yes, I am one of the EVIL gun show vendors, but I still like to go to sales in which I do not have a table, putting me on both sides of the issue. :)

The meat destruction is one of the primary concerns that I have when hunting. I will wait for a "quartering away shot", one that has the animal turn away from me , then place the entry of the shot behind the near shoulder with the path of the bullet going through the lungs and the heart...

Held a left handed double barreled shotgun that had a curve in the stock that brought the action in line with the right eye...Apparently made for a left handed shooter who was right eye dominant. English make I think.

My reason for a pump is different than others, I suppose. I like the sound! :eek: When someone racks a pump, the sound is very distinctive and I hope that the BG will take off for the hills when he hears it! :what:

It also may depend on the gun...there are some manufacturers of guns built this year that I would not shoot more than 5 times!

Daly DDA .45 (manufactured by BUL, in Israel) Those Israeli's seem to have some experience too! :)

I appreciated the opportunity to bounce my ideas off of you. I wound up taking a few pieces for sale, at prices that got some serious consideration, but the real action that I got into was in trades. I traded an FAL for an AR15, and a Ljungman for a Ruger 1 in 7mm mag with a cheap scope...
