Here's an ad for a used FN rifle. Could someone tell me what they think of this as a deer rifle and whether the price is anywhere in the ballpark? I know nothing about FNs as civilian guns. Thanks. Manufacturer: Fn Serial Number: 1409 Model: 98 SCOUT Action: Rifle...

What's the latest edition of this book? Is it the 11th? That's the latest one mentioned on Amazon. Just thought I'd check before ordering. Thanks. Bill

Is there such a thing? There have been plenty of one and two shot derringers, Sharps made several four shot pepper pots, there are buckets of 5 and six round revolvers, seven and eight rounders are no longer a rarity and nine and ten round rimfire revolvers have been around for ages. Didn't...

Who currently makes rifles chambered in 7x57 Mauser? I looked at the Tikka and CZ websites and didn't find any currently offered. I ran the search function here and got Ruger. Is there anyone else? Any help appreciated. A line on a used gun or a barrelled action would be good to know...

OK, so I'm developing an interest in the 7mm Mauser cartridge. Any advice as to a good choice in a used or new rifle? I would use it mostly for whitetails and target/range use. I don't have any 7mm experience to mention but the ballistics seem very promising. I would hand load for it...

Although I've chased down several leads from Google I can't seem to find the case capacities of .308Win and 6.5x55 Swede. Hard to believe there's nothing on the 308. I found two for the Swede but they were both obviously wrong (30 and 80 gr. of H2O). So if you know the case capacity of either...

Here's mine, let's see yours. Bill Oops, I forgot to identify these. AO 1911A1 WWII GI replica made in the early 90's 1969 Browning High Power made and assembled in Herstal BYF44, i.e., a Mauser manufactured Walther P.38, 1944 A DWM double dated 1914/1920 P.08 Luger

Anyone experienced with diopter sights in general or on the K31 explicitly? I have a "mixmaster" K31 which I use for general use with open sights and scout sights. I am thinking of getting an all matching walnut K31 and was wondering how the St Marie diopters work on it. The look very...

You folks who hunt with your K31, what do you do for a hunting legal magazine? Technically, I should have a mag that cannot hold more than five rounds. I 'm reluctant to modify my 6-rounder, in fact, I don't even see how to take it apart. Any suggestions, links, etc,? Willing to pay a...

I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen or made a Mosin Nagant with a 24" barrel. Seems to me it woud be long enough to make use of the powerful 7.62x54R round and still be a manageable length for field use. I know none was ever officially produced but someone must have tried it. How...

Some interesting looking Finnish contract Lugers for sale at AIMSurplus if you have $900+ to spend. Various manufacturers and barrel lengths. All pre-WWI. Bill

I have a very old high quality gun in excellent condition. I would like to develop loads for it that maximize performance but don't want to go near pressures that the old girl can't handle. My question is: If I am careful about avoiding overpresure signs as shown by the case, can I safely...

...Varget and Vihta Vuori? I was thinking of trying some but it occurs to me I've never heard them pronounced. My guess is Varget rhymes with target and Vihta Vuori is VEE tah VWAR ee. Am I close? Thanks. Bill

I need to scope a hunting rifle. Since it's a bolt action I need a Scout type rig, you know, lots of eye relief. The trick is I want something that zooms from 3 to 9 or 10 power. Does anyone make such an animal? Thanks. Bill

The gun is a model 96 but it has been cut down to a 24" Barrel. The work seems to be very professionally done and the rebluing is excellent. There is a small front post and the standard Mod 96 rear sight. The original stock has been replaced by a hard rubber (not spongy but not rock hard...

Can anyone point me to a convenient (e.g., online) source listing powder capacities for various hunting cartridges? Thanks. Bill

Does anyone have a Limbsaver slip-on recoil pad on their Mosin Nagant? Did you use small, medium or large? Medium is my guess but would like to hear from someone who has one. Thanks. Bill

Does anyone know of a moderately priced source for 7.62 Nagant ammo? AIM has it at $39/box which is not worth it to me. Is reloadable brass available? Can I shoot another caliber in the gun (e.g., 32ACP)? I hear there is a cylinder for other calibers but don't know if the gas seal property...

I have a model 1915 Stevens Favorite in 22LR and its downward compatible calibers. The gun is a single shot falling block lever action takedown gun. I know that these came in more than one caliber, can't think which right off hand, but the.22 was the most common. I was wondering if I could...
