    Need advice on selling a Ruger Model 77 Rifle in 375 H&H

    Mine (416 Rigby) has the most strikingly beautiful wood but just about the worst ergonomics I have experienced in a rifle stock

    870 upgrades

    870 upgrades- Paint, not just for duck camouflage, but to keep it from rusting. Remington did something wrong with the later finishes, you just look at them and can see the red rusty dust forming.

    Model 70 Featherweight catch

    My favorite push feed M70 is the year they didn’t call it a “Featherweight”, but a “Lightweight”.(1980’s) Actually the “Lightweight Carbine“, long action with light 20” barrel. I never really liked the Schnabel forearm.

    problem with an AR-type rifle

    If you try to use a 3/16" spruce dowel to clear the case…, it will break inside the bore causing an even worse problem. Use a brass rod, or wait until you get one!

    Two Lugers together again

    I know little to nothing about Lugers…. Except that if it seems too good, it probably is. 🤔 It mita choked Arty, but it ain’t gonna choke Styme.

    Bolt Shims

    Depends on the rim thickness of the ammunition you are using, and the rifles original headspace. A “correctly“ headspace gun might not need a shim for “average” ammunition rim thickness, be loosely headspaced for thin rims, and gall the shims with thick rimmed ammo.

    Lengthening stock of 30 M1 Carbine

    It’s a M1 Carbine. It is supposed to have a short stock. 6.1 million M1 carbines, (and 5.4 million M1 rifles), all with short stocks. Any unauthorized modifications on either of these M1s constitutes a Bubbaization. It starts with extended buttpads, moves into drilling and tapping for a...

    Would you trust unknown storage/reliability for this 70's NATO (FN Herstal) ammo? Here is the retail ad...

    For less money ($.86 vs $.92) I would buy the reloadable boxer primed 308/762 ammunition Unless the MG belt was linked… tracer, AP, incinderary, ball. or (better yet SLAP or Raufoss!) The links have some value, but without a dedicated delinking tool taking the belts apart are a PITA

    Ruger Mini-14 vs. AR-15 - Which one and why?

    I’ve had multiples of both. if you want a mini, save up for a M1A if you want an AR, it will probably function better and be more accurate than the Mini. if you are in California…. you gots to do what you’ve gots to do.

    Scope and Mount Problem

    The lower rifle has an extended ring in front, and standard ring in back. I believe that is how your rifle needs to be set up. Extended rings can be used in the front or the back, or both front and back, depending on what part of the scope is in the way

    Scope and Mount Problem

    The rings in the picture are not in correct alignment. The ring on the right is the front ring. The scopes objective bell goes on the left side of the ring on the right, do you see the scallop clearance cut? This allows the scope to be set back farther on the rifle In reality, as set up on the...
