    Two New Carcano’s

    There is also a lot of carcano talk on the WWII bolt thread that is going right now....check out the last couple pages for carcano stuffs. IMHO the Partizan ammo shoots pretty poor out of them, carcano never got a "pointy" boolit, if you reload get the hornady bottle nosed bullet, it is of the...

    What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2?

    One of the guns on my short list, they just are not around here in middle missouri, and if you see one they think it is made out of gold. Likely going to find one at Morphy or Rock Island. But not spending any real money till this stupid blows over.....I am guessing it will end about Nov 5.

    Theoretical long-range rifle on a tight budget. Difficulty: Left-hand. Hunting use irrelevant.

    Personally.....while I just love to buy new toys, I would rent.....that doubles down in this world. Unless you are 100% sure your total family income will not change during this stupid **** that is going on now, rent. Unless you are 100% sure you are going to enjoy this new hobby....rent. Me...

    What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2?

    One thing you have to keep in mind is we judge by today. How they feel, shoot, and hold together in this country today.....and by the general examples found today. I said this before in a mosin thread....pick up a "good" mosin, not one that was packed away by Olga 80 years ago to be handed to...

    What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2?

    I saw that video and just rolled......we all know a great many of these people get the total sum of their knowledge of these subjects from 12minute youtube videos. And we all know the turn around in French arms is the result of one man. Then that same man comes out with this video......I just...

    Old 25N Bolt Action

    There was a thread a while ago (few years) on cleaning the Marlin micro grove and how hard it was to REALLY get it clean after years of not bothering. As I recall it was a real chore to do.....soaking, scrub, ordering different black powder cleaners, more soak, scrub.....as I recall this guy...

    4000fps Doe Death Ray

    I see this on a great many of my old stuff....and that is about all I shoot. It is never enough to catch a finger or anything....When loading I just look for the normal signs of over pressure. When I say old I am talking 50's and older, usually military and early autoloaders...remington model...

    Firearms appraisals for insurance?

    Jewelry....don't get me started on that scam of an industry.....I do have a rider on mine, and hope that a lighting bolt goes through my window and just hits that one shelf.

    I'm a nooby at gun auctions

    Gun Auctions...places like gunbroker get a pass by me, I just do not trust them. I have bought from people on forums, that is a little more easy to track.....you can check out their post history, and kinda get a feeling on how they roll. Then you can decide if you want to buy from them. As...

    Marlin Model 60

    Nope. Only down side is the tube load and some folk don't like that. Check the plastic buffer thingy and that is about it.

    .22 rifle choices

    Once you do handle the CZ you will know why it is more spendy. Savage is a fantastic rifle, CZ is a fantastic rifle that also has that "it" that moves it up to a different tier....I can see one day people saying yea my great granddad had that CZ457, still shoots great. I don't know what it is...

    What kind of problem?

    4000fps Doe Death Ray

    "How much of a concern is the splattered edge of the firing pin impact? Ive heard conflicting thoughts on it and Ive seen this more than once on factory ammo." I think you answered your own question there.....not much of a concern. I did not see any other signs of pressure worries, you did not...

    Best caliber for small game hunting?

    In general I think it is safe to say that 17 seems to be more accurate over the 22wmr.....is that the round or is that the guns the round is used in.....I really don't know. I have for....heck decades it seems....been saying I should get a 17.....then I say to myself, why? You have a 22mag...

    What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2?

    "Some wear". These things still have very little following....and so they are the mosin of the 1960's.....read that to every idiot with a screwdriver fooled with them. I was pretty flamed by saying the carcano is not the strongest action on another board and I will stand by that claim, it is...

    What were the best and worst bolt guns of WW2?

    And yet more of the french navy coming to the US and being put to use on convoy duty or simply to disappear off the face of the earth.....these things are not real popular in movies or youtube videos yet so not many can comment on them yet, you need to crack a real book. There are many others...
