Just bought a new rollmark Series 70 Colt 1911, specifically for the purpose of building a full house custom. But once I received it, stripped it down and took a really close look, I was blown away by its quality, fit and finish. Even the trigger pull is first rate. Now I'm radically...

I bought this online several years ago and almost immediately sold it to a close friend. Well, I just got it back today and I'm very happy I did. Don't know the name of the gunsmith or when it was built.

I've been a FAL fan for many, many years - ever since owning a commercial G series FN FAL imported by Browning before 1968. I've sold them all now except for two: a DSA Congo Para (pic 1 below) and a DSA stainless SA 58 that has been a project gun for many years (pics 2-4 below)...

While my competition rifles are pretty cutting edge, my hunting rifles follow a much, much more traditional theme. First, my two primary hunting rifles are both 30'06. Second, they are both Mausers: one a 1909 Argentine and one a post-WWI DWM. The Argy is a full custom: Schneider barrel...

I have a custom 1909 Argentine Mauser heavy game rifle in 9.3X62mm that I no longer need. But selling such a beast is at best a losing proposition. Simply put, I'd loose my shirt. So I've decided to take a different approach and instead build a long range 30'06 on the platform. The...

Recently bought a used Remington 40XB KS in 7.62 NATO. Built in 1991, the owner shot it a total of 604 rounds before putting it away in his safe for almost 25 years before selling it to me a few months ago. While he shot only reloads, I'm shooting only match ball. So far I've tried Federal...

A little over two years ago I built a match rifle to shoot 7.5X55 GP11 (Swiss Gov't Ball) ammo exclusively. Here are a few pictures. The action is a blueprinted Remington 700 with a one-piece oversized bolt (.704") from Pacific Machine. The action is reamed to .705" so the fit is very close...

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=332853&highlight=40xb+ks is a pretty exhaustive thread on the virtues (or lack thereof) of the Remington 40x rifles. But I'm in the process of buying a Remington 40xb ks and would like to know who out there shoots one? Keith

Do any of you have knowledge of or personal experience with the FN 400/BR-6 single shot action? I'm a bit into older, more classic forms of firearms and have an opportunity to get a rifle with this action. Looks to be in excellent condition at a fair price. It will be used for varmint hunting...

This is my 30'06 match rifle built for me by Sid Goodling in Spring Grove, PA. It's a blueprinted Remington 700 action with a Tubb bolt, an Xtreme Model 22 trigger, Schneider barrel with 1 in 10" twist and McMillan Baker Special stock. The scope is a Weaver T-24 with 1/8 MOA clicks in TPS...

A friend has a MAB Type A Vest Pocket 25 Auto marked WAC (Winfield Arms of California), serial number 76XXX. It's in new condition with the original magazine and the original instruction sheet. I've Googled it and found some interesting articles but most are a bit thin on this exact model, the...

The Lyman 48 receiver sight, like many, is made up of two parts: the base and what some call the elevation slide. What is the proper name for the latter? Keith

I'm in the process of buying a Browning Safari in .375 H&H made in 1970. At first glance it looks like any other FN Mauser, except this one is a push feed with a Sako style extractor. I recognize it is not an M98, but I wanted a .375 H&H in near new condition and at a really good price. All my...

What is the forums experience with and opinion of Taylor Throating on revolvers? Jim Stroh describes it as: "Essentially, the barrel throat is lengthened one and one half to two calibers, and enlarged to slightly over groove diameter. The throat serves as the throat in a rifle barrel, enabling...

In the opinion of this forum, who makes the most accurate 38 Special barrels? I'm looking to make a target revolver for bullseye shooting, specifically the centerfire portion of a 2700 and I'm looking for the best barrel to use. I'm looking for recommendations on bore diameter (I'll be using...

I just picked up my third pre-64, this one a Super Grade made in 1950. It is all original except for the G&H side mount. Its condition is near new except for the cracking found on the stock finish due to age. I took it apart to check for any defects before I bought it and found the stock...

I have six unopened battle packs (1200 rds) of Hirtenberger 7.62X51 ball. I'm no longer in need of the ammo and am trying to determine a fair market value for it. I'll try selling it locally to avoid shipping costs, but may make it available to THR members or on one of the other forums I...
