    Cap fires... but no powder ignition

    Finally made it to the range today with my Euroarms Remmie - experimenting with 30gn/vol of 777 and also (yeah, I know - two variables is bad practice) changing to Remington caps instead of RWS. Anyway, 5th shot the cap goes off, but the main charge fails to fire. I put another cap on and it...

    Early Christmas Present.....'58 Remington NMA

    Here's my latest addition to the gunsafe - a Euroarms Remington, my wife's Christmas gift to me! Date code is XXX which puts it as manufactured in 1974 and it's in fine condition for its age. Most interesting feature is the adjustable trigger stop. The trigger itself has been tuned somewhen as...
