Lol on the looking down the Nerf gun barrel. But this is exactly the type of situation that we, as teachers, must capitalize on. You are correct. This is the proper training ground. The time that we must instill safety and responsibility with guns is while they still look down Nerf barrels. The...

My grandson received a new BB gun for Christmas. It will be kept locked at my house safely, and hands on safety taught to him by me, exactly as I learned from my father. I received my first BB gun at 5, under the same system of training. I then grew in my responsibilities and capabilities under...

Ok, so- if I can get a new hammer spring, and a new firing pin, should I be able to replace these at home? Or is this a gunsmith trip?

Ok I just read a thread on issues related to light primer strikes, where an 870 was giving the same symptom. It seems the barrel was taken off for cleaning and not completely paired to the receiver again, thereby creating too much distance for the firing pin to correctly dimple the primers. I...

Well, I pulled the trigger group back out and found a bit more junk in the assembly. soaked it with solvent, flushed it with wd 40, and blew it out well with the air hose. shot it 2 more times- same resulting shallow strikes. My 1200 showed strikes like the Ithaca examples u posted. I guess my...

yeah, my firing pin isn't striking that deep.:uhoh: If I need to tear the bolt apart, I don't know how. :banghead:

Ok- I fired 3 more new rounds this morning thru the gun and all 3 fired perfectly. I'm still questioning whether the firing pin is striking hard enough, and i'm having trouble finding out just how deep the dimple really SHOULD be in a spent primer. The dimples in the spent primers are pretty...

Ok well, that was indeed sorely needed. And it was certainly a valuable educational experience for me. The receiver was full of gummy junk, and the bolt was full of oily grime. The ejector spring was the biggest challenge for me, but now the action is smooth as silk. I'm looking forward to...

I just returned from shooting with my nephew. I had 5 ftf out of 25 rounds. Upon inspection of the shells it seems my firing pin is barely striking the primers. I've never removed the bolt from a shotgun before. what should I look for, and how should I do it?

i'm interested in the degree of accuracy enhancement, if any, that can be gained by lapping the barrel of a stock ruger 10 22. If its worth it, can the average sawmiller do the job himself at home?

Ok I've noticed that my stock (action?) screw, is loose enough out of the box that I can feel/hear the barrel moving in the stock as I handle the rifle. But- i've been able to produce 2 inch groups at 50 yards the way it is currently, with el cheapo bulk Winchester hp. Of course that's across...

Boy am I ever learning a lot from this forum! I never even heard the term- action screws before I came here. But I most certainly spent 2 hours getting the basics on action screw tension after I saw it on this thread last night. I've learned more in a few weeks here about guns than i've learned...

I hear ya JohnB. And I do agree completely with you that my mix and match ammo collection is not the best way to roll. My problem, tho, is that in my area, we have precious few places to buy ammo, and we pretty much have to take what is offered by the stores we have here..I could buy when I go...

Yes it is a dedicated rimfire scope. Just a 30 dollar one from Wally.. I do not understand the term parallax. Just an Ozark sawmiller and truck driving hillbilly. Sorry guys lol

So.. I got a new 10-22 and a Bushnell 4x32 scope. I've been wanting to sight it in dead on at 50 yards. Is this wise, or should I be choosing a different method/distance for dead on? I normally plink with federal bulk, Winchester bulk, hp. I do keep 40 grain bullets of wildcats, m22, federal...

That's a nice rifle there wleoff. Mine was what I packed around the hills and hollers of the Missouri Ozarks thru my childhood, resulting in,- not really becoming beat up, I was careful with it, but it just looks pretty rough with wear on the stock finish and everywhere, really..

Ok I checked to make sure the ejection spring was properly placed. What I have not yet done is disassemble the receiver to remove the bolt- to ensure that if it has a screw, it is not loose/missing. i'm ashamed to admit i've never done that before, and i'm a bit intimidated to try it. I'm sure I...

Yes it does have the original rear sight and it (the sight), is in great condition. There is surface rust on the barrel, and the stock and receiver just kinda have that- i'm just old and kinda tired these days, look to them. I can say with certainty that it has not had 3000 rounds put thru it...

Well, when the loading issue happens with the 200, the spent hull is always ejected. Where the trouble comes in is that it seems the next round isn't being picked completely up- it doesn't want to start into the barrel cleanly. Seems to be jamming into the bottom of the chamber when I shuck it...

I'm going to try to just swap barrels, as both are almost identical, and neither gun has an extended tube. The 1300 is chambered for 3 inch, the 200 is 2.75 only. I have had some failures to load with the 200, but upon focused practice sessions, I am almost completely ready to believe that i've...
