    Questions about a possible Alaska move.

    Alaska Airlines allowed me to check 2 dozen handguns packed in Pelican type cases. I had long arms packed in a smallish safe and shipped via moving company. Ammo was driven through Canada but they do have some limits on type of ammo and the amount. Good luck. BTW I spent 19 years in the...

    Different ammo question

    thanks Thanks for the input. I guess I do worry a little bit about opening a battle pack only to find unuseable ammo. My luck has been pretty good with the stuff that I have though. I remember some Guat 5.56 battle packs a while back that were hit or miss. Some of it tarnished and with a...

    Different ammo question

    Would you use your battle packs of DAG and SA 7.62 x 51 before you start using newer factory ammo? Save the battle packs because they are sealed? I keep everything other than battle packs in ammo cans with desiccant so I expect that I can store it for quite some time. I’m just curious about...

    Gibbs Import Jungle Carbine

    Gibbs The Gibbs versions are usually built from a No.4 and usually shoot well in my experience. There were reports that the flash hider might follow a round downrange on occasion. I've collected Enfields of all kinds for many years and love the No.5. The wandering zero thing is the first...

    Have you ever thought about the history behind your guns?

    My wife recently asked me to show her my collection of milsurp firearms. She admired most of them for their character but almost dropped a Lee Enfield no.4 Mk.1. She actually teared up and said "it has blood on it..." I thought she meant literally and asked her where... she said "no...

    Questions about Star Model B

    Safety checks? MM... I'm not sure what you mean by that... with the hammer cocked and the safety engaged, the trigger is free but the safety doesn't allow the hammer to drop. When the hammer is at the half-cocked position the trigger is immobile. Thanks for the tips on magazines too. I've...

    Questions about Star Model B

    I purchased one of the Star model B pistols from Aim and it arrived today. I broke it down and cleaned it and have to say that it a nice pistol. I'm questioning the operation of the safety though. The thumb safety engages with the hammer cocked as well as with the hammer down. It seems much...

    Is Military Anti-Gun?

    attitude Sorry, I let a certain poster distract me. IMO the military isn't anti gun. Some military commanders probably are. Recently here in Alaska, a Commander ordered that his troops would not be allowed to carry concealed weapons off post as is permitted by our state law. Of course...

    Magazine Spring for Savage Model 1907

    I'm trying to find a replacement magazine spring for my little Savage. Wolff doesn't offer a direct replacement for the 1907. Can anyone offer ideas on a replacement spring that might work? The magazine holds 10 rounds of .32. Thanks! Randy
