Here is my CZ 452 Varmint that I had accurized. A friend of mine did all the work. He chopped the barrel to 17â€, recrowned it, bedded the action, floated the barrel, worked on the trigger, fabricated a new scope mount in a semi-scout position, and mounted a Burris compact 3-9 scope with a long...

This is a FR-8 that I bought a couple of months ago. I’ve spent several weekends refinishing the stock. It took a week or so to remove the finish it came with, and the rest applying the new one. To apply the new finish I cut sandpaper (of 220, 320, 400, and 600 grit) into squares and dipped...

I happen to run across a nice Remington 722 yesterday that I’m thinking about buying. It’s a nice looking rifle the bore is great and other than a couple of dings in the stock it’s nearly mint. I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile and best of all the price is right. I...

Led to an interesting talk with local LEO Last week my home town endured an unfortunate event that allowed me a brief conversation with some of the local LEO’s. My county has a critter on the loose that enjoys sexually assaulting young women and now 10 year old girls. Last week the...

In a recent trip to Wal-Mart I was browsing through their DVD selection looking for something I didn’t already own or haven’t already seen a 100 times. Lo and behold I see a Speed Racer DVD containing the first eleven episodes. Cool I say to myself, I haven’t seen Speed Racer in YEARS...

First I have to again say, I really love this rifle. Some of the best money I’ve spent. These things will just flat out shoot. I got to take mine to my buddies range again and thought I’d show how well I was able to shoot. I’m pretty good off the bench, but I sure suck shooting...

I was just wondering if any of you talented people here make your own (or have attempted to) gun stocks. I tend to get bored easily and need a new project. I have refinished several of my own and have been very pleased with the results. However, all but one of these had plain wood and...

I was just wondering if anyone know when Winchester quit stamping their name and model number on the tang. Was this in 1964? Or much earlier? I'd like to pick up an older 94 and was just courious. six

I recently had to move back home due to a minor disagreement with my former employer and I’m looking for somewhere to do some shooting. I live near Carbondale and to the best of my knowledge there are no ranges near me public or private. The last one I knew of, Crossroads, closed before I...

Got a question for you lever-gun fans. I have a project gun that I'm looking for some parts, but i don't know if anyone makes what I want. I'm looking for some case colored parts. Specifically a hammer, trigger, and loading gate/flap (not sure of the correct name). Does anyone make what I'm...

I went to the local gun store today after stopping by my bank (usually an expensive combo) and saw a lever-gun I liked. It's a 1894 SRC with IIRC a 16" barrel, a full buckhorn sight, and a steel buttplate. The sn was 3,900,000 (manufactured in 1973 according to my link). It was tagged at $299...

I’m sort of in the market for a new varmint rifle and I don’t want something that everyone else has. Right now I have bolt actions in .243 and .270WSM and I have a couple of semi-autos one in .223 and another .308 so I don’t care to duplicate those calibers. I’m looking for another...

I have a couple questions for you .22 Guru’s out there. I have a Norinco EM322 bolt-action that I’d like to get a little more accuracy out of and was hoping some of you would have a few suggestions or comments. It’s a nice little rifle with three 5 round clips two of which fit in slots...

Things were a little slow today at work which caused my mind to wander. I’ve always loved lever-actions, I have several, but nothing really cool. I’ve wanted an orginal 1886 for awhile now, but nice ones are quite pricy. I’d also like a 1876, but those seem to be even more expensive and...

Well as usual a trip to the gun store and I find another rifle I really don't need. However, I haven't bought this one YET. I found a very nice used Sako AV (Lightweight Hunter?) with a Redfield 4-12x40. The gun looks like it has hardly been shot. The story is it was bought by someone in...

Back in September I moved from Nevada to Alabama. Before I left I purchased a rifle from a local dealer (my neighbor). I left the rifle with him to glass bed and float the barrel. He said he would ship it to me when finished, but that it would be a couple months (he had a lot of stuff to get...

First title was a little lame. This one sums it up a little better. I did some searching and I haven’t’ really found the answer I was looking for so I thought I’d ask here. A little background first. Unfortunately I have to replace a rifle and I’m working on a $1000 budget. The...
