I picked up a sporterized(Golden State Arms- very nicely done)No.1MK3 Enfield in a gun trade a while back and am just getting around to tinkering it up. It's a good shooter and the bore is in excellent shape, so I'd like to put a scope on it. Here's the rub, though. When it was sporterized...

Well, I just finished up my recent project, a Rhineland Arms conversion kit based Delisle replica, and let me tell you, what a nightmare. The barrel was good except for a sharp ridge left in the chamber area, easily remedied, but initially causing minor feeding problems. The magazine adapter...

'Cause it seems like I've been waiting kind of on the long side for delivery when they said they were shipping 'em out two weeks ago. Not ticked off yet, just curious. And, my faux-delisle project is stuck in mid-stream because I need measurements off the kit parts to work up my end caps...

OK, it's been a long winter up here in Maine and we get a little stir-crazy when the range is under several feet of snow. So what's a guy to do? How about building an unusual scout rifle? This one is almost finished. First I found a Carcano in 6.5x52 that did NOT have the gain-twist rifling...

I recently got interested in Carcano rifles and picked a few up cheap. I got a M91, and M91/41, and an M91 that had been hacked up, but was reasonably nice. All are in 6.5x52. I did some reading and found a few things that were pretty interesting. Most 6.5 Carcanos have a gain twist barrel...

Howdy! As some of you know, I used to be a Bushmaster armorer and I have extensive experience with the AR15/M16 family of rifles. Some of you also know that I have pronounced preferences for light, handy rifles, which the AR is really getting away from. However, I promised myself no...

A guy at work recently asked me about a Wilkes-Barre shotgun. I had never heard of the maker. He brought it in and it is in very good condition, maybe 50% well executed engraving, bores are in excellent condition, damascus barrels are not rusted or pitted, wood is VG-excellent. Seems like a...

So what it comes down to is this. I shoot pretty well with a Browning High Power, acceptably well with a Glock, and passably well with revolvers. I want to improve with the revolvers. I'm trying to round out my own shooting skills, and I have never shot IDPA before. There is a range nearby...

Hello all, I just picked up a Colt 1908 pocket hammerless in 25 ACP and am looking for some info. The finish is in rough shape but the gun operates flawlessly, easily keeping a three inch group at 50 feet. The little thing is fitted like a swiss watch! The serial number is in the 1125xx...

Just picked up a NIB Jungle Gun and thought people might be interested. I had read here and at TFL about spotty performance and unusual reloading procedures, so I wasn't expecting much. The reason I got the gun was because I prefer a tang safety on my rifles and shotguns and thought if this...

I have been reading here and at TFL and can't find much to fit my new Mossberg Jungle Gun 9200A1. I know it takes the same stocks as a 500/590. Some seem to say a Rem 870/1100 mag extension will fit, nobody is saying which sidesaddle will fit. These are all I'm looking for, the gun shoots...

I'm trying to talk myself into replacing my carbine - style rifle with a shotgun. I need some help doing it. I've always liked carbines, but the fact is that for the shooting I do I think a shotgun may even be superior. My carbine shooting is almost always at 100 yards or less, hell, usually...

Need a little help making a decision! My battery has always included handguns, rifles, shotguns, and some type of carbine. I'm trying to talk myself into simplifying things slightly and doing away with the carbine. In my area and situation, shots would be limited to less than 100 yards...
