Out of curiousity, I did a search for "winchester bolt peep" and found this: http://www.wisnersinc.com/additional_info/Winchester_71boltpeep.htm I remember Wisners in Chehalis Wa. They made a lot of repro Winchester parts. FWIW

Bolt peeps were fairly common in Winchester 71's. If you find one and wish to have it installed on your rifle, your bolt would have to be milled for it. But yes, very cool.

Yup. the sqirrel hides down the barrel!

Fguffey, I looked at my Forster .30-06 headspace gages and the difference between go and no go is .006"

Have you checked firing pin protrusion? Should be around .055 to .060"

Looks like a cut down 03 Springfield stock. The cut on the left side looks like it's for the magazine cut off/bolt stop.

I've done some sight mounting recently using a 17" drill press. Before even deciding to use the drill press, I checked the chuck runout. Further, I did a test drill in a piece of scrap steel I had then stuck the drill shank in the hole to check for oversize/runout. Before drilling the...

I guess that also applies to the .50-110-300. Intended as a high velocity loading but with short bullets for caliber resulting in very poor balistic coefficient.

Should be good. It looks good but yes, I'll post...;)

Yeah, the detached retina. I've heard of that happening. I've been discussing the issue of heavy recoiling rifles with my brother and friends. Maybe time for us to tame down the loads. We're in our 60's and don't need no detached retinas.

I would try different loads through that revolver and see if the accuracy improves. I would resort to firelapping as an absolute last resort keeping in mind that you may end up replacing the barrel.

Something I forgot to mention is that the Browning 1886 and the Winchester 1886 EL by MirokU that I have seem to be very short throated. I have a bunch of Speer 400 grain jacketed bullets I like to shoot and the lever will close with feel when the bullets are seated to the front cannelure...

My brother has one of those. It's a nice gun. I drilled and tapped the receiver for a Lyman peep sight. Don't know why they never drilled those at the factory. You may not like the look of the factory stock finish but it's a lot more scratch resistant than any oil finish will ever be. We've...

Well guys, this is what I thought I'd try. I had an old Outers .30 caliber cleaning rod and cut the handle off. I got a 35 caliber rifle brush and wrapped it with some 00 steel wool. I ran the rod down the barrel, screwed the steel wool wrapped brush on the rod and turned the rod with my...

Maybe I'll just remove the barrel and do it with a slotted dowel and emery cloth. Kinda hate the idea of removing the barrel but I put it on anyway so reinstalling it won't be a problem. It's just that I hate to strip these guns down any more than necessary because each time you do it, things...

I recently installed a new Criterion .30-06 barrel on an M1 Garand. I finish reamed the chamber with a front turned headspacing reamer which I rented from an on-line source. I noticed that I had to use a fair amount of pressure to get the reamer to cut. during the reaming process, I removed...

I started shooting high power with an M-1 then went to a Winchester model 70. I was very competitive with other shooters who were shooting M1A's and AR's. I bought myself an AR and tried it for a while and didn't like the short sighting radius. I almost always shot the highest scores in our...

I was cleaning out some old reloading stuff and came across a couple boxes of 7MM 160 grain Nosler partition bullets. These were purchased in the early 70's by a now deceased friend in preparation for an elk hunt. As I remember he used a 7x61 Sharpe & Hart in a custom 98 Mauser and was...

Ranger is a Sears, Roebuck brand name applied to shotguns made for them by various manufacturers.

I have a CZ 452 American in .22LR. Great quality for the price. Wish the trigger wasn't so creepy, though. I see Timney makes an adjustable trigger. Need to look into it.
