I was wondering why my dust cover had gotten loose... I just checked the rear-trunnion and I can see gaps on both of the rivets and the holes. Ser# J00053XX....

I think someone stated it's an 8-shot magazine... Just checking to see if there's any chance it's longer like the Yugo M-58 9-shot mag?

For $300, yes. A normal, mostly-matching Carl Gustaf M96 runs a shade under $300 bucks. A Vasteras sight is easily worth $40 (if not a few bucks more). If you pass - email me the dealer's info! ;)

I'm in. Where do I send my cloverleaf? LOL

Well, I haven't read every word in this lengthy thread, but I haven't noticed any mention Smallbore Cowboy Lever-Action Silhouette yet. The Marlin 39A is the defacto rifle for this sport, in which you fire off-hand 40/60 shots at 10/15 metallic chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams out to 100 yds...

Yea - J Frames are a 10 foot defensive weapon and a good one for it, but oodles lighter (assuming an Airweight or Sc/Ti) that a Glock will ever be. So long as you are comfortable with it, you'll be better off, but I'm a weight weenie.

Perfect info - thanks a bunch gentlemen!

No SUPER EXPRESSO MAGNUMO... Very plain Wingmaster. Good info so far - many thanks. --M

Can someone tell me anything about my 870? It looks to be a full-size 870 with a factory 20 Gauge barrel that is made to fit the larger 12Ga barrel port. Are the internals different than a 12Ga? Any special appreciation or disdain for them? Sought after or avoided? Thanks. --M

This thing ever make it to market?

Thanks for the info - although I've heard ammonia makes brass weak??? That right??

Guess what I found this year... Some D*mb*ss left his hunting ammo in the leather loops again and while a few cheap shells didn't mean much before, this time I left some rather expensive rifle ammo in the loops to crust over pretty good... I understand this Green Gunk is called Verdigris...

Yea - .308 WIN and 7.62x51 are not exactly the same. The 7.62x51 brass flows a bit into the .308 chamber and gets stuck. I have this same problem with my Savage 99's. I had a Lone Eagle in .30-06 and it was "neat enough", but fairly impractical. I switched to a S&W .44 - less weight, more...

I had it out at 15yds off the bench and it would just stay on a pie plate. I had an old Ballestar Molina .45 that put 2 magazines into a fist size hole shortly after.... it was sad... :banghead:
