update I recently talked to the landowner,and he said HE didn't mind if I hunted,But HIS ELDEST SON,who now manages the farm for him,wants to lease the area to some out-of-area "hunt-club" members.I told him I could understand,if it was because of the guy I wanted to film my hunt,and he said it...

double check Have you checked to see if the serial #s match,and things weren't swapped out with his other rifle? Any thing is possible !

Any chance it might be a signal shot/flare ?

One VERY BIG don't,is DON'T leave a live round in the chamber! These weapons were noted for accidental discharge,as several GIs found out,after sticking them in their waistbands,pockets,etc.The small bar at the side will let the firing pin snap forward,if any pressure is applied to it.Any German...

NO,Suzukisam,the only thing i left out,was that I couldn't go out the first 4 days of the season,because I had to take care of my customers at my business,first.I did find out,later, that the same guy has gotten caught there,and across the road,2days later,and tried to use my name for a...

For the past 28 yrs,I,ve had the priviledge of hunting a large area of farmland.I've taken great care to cultivate a great relationship with the land owner,and his family,and even helped on their farm.Last November that all came to a screeching stop.I had asked permission to have a "friend"...

Hey,Wylie1! Your Buckhorn has the same stock as my Hunterbolt magnum,and I have a tip for you.The rear (comb/butt section )of the stock is hollow,and I found that it actually "flexes",when fired!I made a long,honeycomb brace from composits,trimmed it to slide in,and epoxied it.No more flexing!I...

My .22lr Russian trainer,and my .380 Femarurt37.Also like to shoot my .303 British,and my 3 "smokepoles".

I'd agree with Unistat,exceot I've seen PETA stickers(you DO mean People Eating Tasty Animals,right?) AN 8,maybe.

The AR-7/explorer was a take-down,and stowed its parts in the stock.They were available in .22lr,and I believe the military had one for pilots,in .32? They actually were pretty accurate,and when stored,they floated!

Seriously, I'd use the 22lr,out to 100yds(scoped),and maybe even a .22wrfm. I've spent some time in AZ,hunting jacks,and they can be a bit hard to kill,at times!Either way,have fun!

Welcome! As for the gun...hey,this is America,and you're American,BUY WHATEVER YOU LIKE!!!That's what's good about it...no-one can tell you what you should,or shouldn't buy.Judging from that uniform,you're earning that right!SEMPER FI!!

Romanian mods The magazines on the Umc's are as stock, 5-shot. As I said in my post,I combined the stock mag,with another,and using the follower spring from a 10-round (an old one I picked up from a gun show,yrs ago),I cut the UMC mag 3/8"below the locking lug.The second Umc mag,I cut Even with...

I've browsed through a few other sites,and several posts dealt with the Russian/Romanian .22lr training rifles.Most of them were unhappy with the performance/magazine fit/availability of parts,etc. I bought one of these rifles,4yrs ago,and I love it!After a good cleaning,I mountrd a Tasco 3-9x40...

I was raised in a rural area,And without a dad around,my uncle and older brother taught me aboutguns,at the age of 5.I'v been married 3 times,and my present wife and I some times hunt or target shoot together.I've got 9 kids,5 grankids,& 3 greatgrandkids,and I served in the army for 9...
