This Mark II was recovered from his family home by its original owner after a month under water in Metairie, Louisiana, following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. He immediately plunked it into a bucket of motor oil for several weeks while working to salvage other family items. Gave it to me here in...

Sarge 13: Verrrrry Nice Semi-Auto Group! Here are a few of my semi-autos (not including my AR15/M16s and FAL). Gotta love the old wood and steel classic semi-autos. Top to bottom: Ljungman, Hakim, M1 Garand, FN-49, MAS 49/52, SKS M59. Now I realize I need to update this old group photo with...

Not a bad shooter, either Resting fore-end on a sandbag on a bench, after first shooting five or so sighting rounds from a 20-round mag, I put about 13 rounds into this Shoot-n-See. 55gr PPU FMJ BT. When I tried heavier bullets, they key-holed consistently

A Colt SP1, no forward assist, no mag release 'fence', repro waffle magazine, and more. Maybe needs a nylon web sling? Closest I have been able to get in my efforts to duplicate the M16 that hung on my bunk on "Herky Hill" at Cam Ranh Bay, 1971. When we went to fly our alternate days...

New Purchase! Mag s/n matches frame. Replaced the grip panels to preserve the mint-condition originals. Been told these were all refinished at some time, so I guess that's why this one looks so good. Must have been well cared for after that, and shot very little - ever, 'cause the bore is...

If a veteran is diagnosed with PTSD symptoms by a competent medical authority and determined eligible for appropriate VA disability compensation for that condition, but otherwise 'mentally stable', is he/she still fully entitled to 2nd Amendment rights? In other words, obtain a CHL, possess...

Hi-way 10 Or... IH-35 North? :cool:

No Other Info Available Chronocube: There was no more info provided there, just the dates and phone number. However, that location is right next to a martial arts "school", so I suspect they were the sponsors, and the 'camp' probably relates to that kind of 'weapons' rather than firearms.

PS: For all you photoshop sleuths out there, itching to exhibit your cleverness - yes, I added the sign text, "San Antonio," ...right here in San Antonio. ...duh! :rolleyes:

Next Time! RudeMood, Yep, too bad; we could have easily handled three or four more shooters! This has now become an annual event, every December, and we will have a similar vintage match next April or May (also an annual event). I will post the details on here at least a month prior...

Match Update 12/10/2009 To deconflict with the Pearl Harbor Commemorative Match held here on 12/06, we have renamed the 12/20 vintage rifle match to the "Battle of the Bulge 65th Anniversary Match". Also, please note the number of record rounds fired is raised from 35 to 40. Certificates...

To Commemorate Pearl Harbor Day, the South Texas Marksmanship Training Center will host a Vintage Rifle Match on Sunday, December 20th, 2009, at the Dietz Range in New Braunfels, Texas. Any original military rifle designed before 1945 is eligible. For example, since the M1 Garand was...

While a beautifully made bolt action rifle, and a too-late comer to the dance, the Madsen M47 in .30-06 has a reputation of lacking robustness in its recoil lug installation, with a potential result of gradually developing hairline cracks in the stock area near the grip grooves. :banghead: I...

800-yard Come-up? Good news, Paulo. I finally found a card I had tucked away well-hidden :rolleyes: that had my 600-yard zero for this rifle and this ammo. With that info, I went to this site (600-yard come-ups And Beyond) and found 'estimated' come-ups, which I used today, and they worked...

Any suggestions for a 'starter' come-up setting (from zero) on a PNW rear aperture sight ('Match Micrometer') at 800 yards, shooting .308 Lake City M118LR (Sierra MK HPBT 175gr). Palma rifle, Wichester action, 29" barrel, 1-in-10" twist. Range conditions: Unshaded firing line, afternoon...

NORINCO TU-KKW = Great Guns Totally, absolutely echo these remarks as for the TU-KKW! Mine shown in the images below, one of my very favorites and perfectly setup, was stolen, as detailed in another thread, but I just found a N.I.B. replacement rifle, minus scope of course, for actually...

SAN ANTONIO - On October 30th, 2005, I was the victim of an armed home invasion, bound, and robbed. A Sunday afternoon, watching the Cowboys game. :cuss: Three young, pistol-toting thugs sneaked in through my garage (ouside door was barely open enough for my cats, inside door into house was...
