    MAS 36/51 in SOG Flyer

    $1295? Really? I have one of these, perfect condition, that I paid $80 for back in the day. These are the ones with the grenade launcher attachment on the muzzle. Are they completely crazy at SOG, or is this anywhere near an actual value? If so.....:neener: Cool.

    What accuracy should I expect in a Traditions Crockett .32?

    Folks, For Christmas I received a Traditions Crockett .32 rifle. I thought it would be a lot of fun to try using a muzzleloader on squirrels. I've always enjoyed hunting them with a .22, so I thought this would add even more fun to it. I don't think I've ever posted in the BP forums...

    XS sights on Rossi 92?

    Hello all, I have a Rossi 92 in .357 with the 16 inch barrel. Very handy little rifle with a nice slick action. The only real problem with the rifle is the sights. They're pretty basic and hard to see. Plus, due to the short barrel, the sight radius is very short, making precise aiming...

    Problems with Leverevolution in a 336

    Guys, I am a little perplexed. After reading the glowing reviews and looking them over for a while, I finally bought a box of 30-30 Leverevolution ammo to try out. I have a Marlin 336 that usually shoots very accurately. With Remington or Winchester 150gr "old school" ammo, I can usually get...

    Aguila SSS - tested in a few of my rifles

    I know that others have discussed this round, but I've just learned of it recently. Very strange construction (60gr .22 round). Don't be fooled by the short case into thinking it's a pussycat. The round is slow (850fps) but very heavy. It hits my spinner target with a heavy "thwack". I...

    Well used 7mm Mauser

    Gents, I have a couple of questions I thought I would run by the brain trust.... My father has what appears to be a spanish mauser in 7x57. It's pretty worn, but the rifling is fairly decent. Someone D&T'd it for a scope a while ago, and it appears to have been sporterized. The rear...

    M44 parts gun from SOG

    So, I decided to buy one of the Russian M-44 "parts guns" that SOG was selling. To my surprise, underneath 14 pounds of cosmoline was a complete rifle. I cleaned it up as much as I had patience for (keeping in mind the $49 price). The barrel was completely plugged with cosmo. Took forever to...

    Cold natured rifle

    OK guys, I have a question about temperature. I have an MAS 45, which is a .22 cal trainer based on the Mauser design. they were built in France for a few years starting after WWII. Anyway, it's a great rifle, built like a tank, weighs almost 9 lbs. It's been shooting great, especially...

    Rimfire Sporter

    Anyone know of a range sponsoring CMP Rimfire Sporter matches in NC? I would like to take my 11 year old with me. I think he would enjoy the competition, but I can't find anyone locally doing it. I know they have matches at the CMP games at Camp Butner, and we're planning to go then (I shot...

    New toy - MAS 45

    I just picked up a very sweet .22 rifle. Have you guys ever seen one of these? It's an MAS 45, a trainer built on a Mauser design. From what I can figure out (mostly by translating a french website), they were designed in Germany at the end of WWII for the French and later the tooling was...

    AIM vz24

    Has anyone bought one of the Czech vz24's from AIM? I am waffling between a Yugo 24/47 or a vz24. I have heard that the Czech's were pretty shot out, no matter how pretty. The ones that AIM has listed are Russian captures. My understanding on the Yugos is that the barrels are pretty much...

    First try at competitive shooting

    So I took my K31 last weekend to the Eastern CMP games at Camp Butner and shot in the Vintage Rifle Match on Saturday. What a blast! I scored 252/300, not great, but I'm pleased with it for a first time out. Especially considering I shot in a t-shirt against guys wearing high-dollar Creedmoor...

    Swiss K-31 for hunting?

    Gentlemen, I'm new here, so forgive me if the question has been asked before, but I have recently fallen deeply in love with my new (to me) K-31. Have any of you hunted with this rife? The round appears to be ballistically similar to a .308. The surplus GP-11 is very accurate stuff, but it's...
