    Curse left-handedness!

    Hey Guys, I know I posted ad nauseam about the Winchester 70 this weekend, but I need some *more* advice. Anyone a leftie out there? I have never had an issue with working a standard bolt action rifle and they are actually my favorites. Until....the Model 70. The scope obviously needs to be...

    The Winchester- Pics or it didn't happen...

    The Winchester 70 arrived. Not ashamed to admit that it slept next to my bed last night. Its a standard Model 70, 30.06, serial number 148414- which dates it back to 1950. The scope is a Weaver K-4 1 and I apologize for my lack of photography skills this afternoon. The lighting- always the...

    The Winchester is on it's way!!!!

    Sorry, had to let it out. My family tells me to shut up every time I mention "rifle". The pre 64 Model 70. This completes the trifecta of dream rifles that I would be proud and humbled to own during my lifetime. And it's on it's way! *HIGHPOWER- I didn't see your post about your new...

    M1 Garand Trigger Housing-Don't think this is good

    Good day all, Pretty sure this is bad. My M1 is a fairly new addition and we've had a handful of decent outings. Did all of the basic OCD cleaning, but when I started the field strip this week because I wanted to check and replace some springs and make sure we were good to go. A spring...

    Berdan to Boxer primer conversion

    Anyone tried this? I was considering it. I have a couple thousand berdan .30 carbine brass cases just sitting there and taunting me. The brass is from the LC knock offs that the Chinese thoughtfully created. Only had an issue with a couple rounds as far as I can remember and no corrosion issues...

    Taking the bull by the horns: Replacing springs

    This is probably the most simple topic in the world to the M1 crowd, but I've been having some pretty general issues lately so I'm just going to pull out the old Wolfe springs service pack and break it down. I have heard (over the internet:/) that the extra power recoil springs were overkill...

    Winchester Model 70, anyone?

    Hey guys, It's tax refund time and hey, why not invest in one of my all time favorite rifles? That would be the Winchester 70, pre 64 in a 30.06. She'll be here in a week or two and I'll play around with some commercial ammo so we can get to know each other better. When we're ready to take...

    How much is too much to pay for Garand brass?

    :banghead: I've run through all of my WRA's and FA's and erring on the side of caution- they're done. I tried some commercial Winchester this weekend and the M1 did not want to play. So I played around a bit with the bullet seating- hate the RCBS die BTW- and the Lee die is in the mail. So...
