My condolences to all who have lost parents. I lost my father in June to cancer. He was a WWII vet and I never knew how much he thought of his military service. The color guard consisted of American Legion members. They had three 1903 rifles and fired three volleys. The coffin draped...

I hope the ATF isn't reading this thread. Note: IT"S A JOKE. BT :p:what:

3/16" is the size for E-clips. As far as removal goes I was lucky and the trigger clip popped out with a little right angle tool I made from a bobby pin. The hammer clip was more stubborn but I finally got it out by threading a number 30 wire between the hammer pin and E-clip and pulling up on...

I am going through a similar problem involving a kit build with compliance parts. The builder doesn't answer emails, letters or phone messages. He has had my propery for over a year and a half. I sent him a certified letter advising him to return my property by specified date. Well, the date...

You will probably get more answers over at the CMP forum. I have noticed quite a few carbine posts over there. Beertracker :D

I remember seeing Russian SKS's for $126, Eagle Arms AR15's for $850 and Norinco 1911 clones for $300 during the 94 gun ban. Beertracker

Sorry to hear about this tragedy at my alma mater. A few weeks ago Congress passed and W signed the Veterans Disarament act. This act prohibits veterans and CIVILIANS who have been deemed mentally incompetent from owning firearms. My point is this law didn't prevent this shooting. Why...

Good accurate rifle. I have one in 3006, blued barrel, wood stock, smooth action and great trigger. I can't say enough good about it. I am very happy with it. Mine is the Tikka Whitetail Hunter model. This is the model before the T3 series. I have taken 4 deer with it and it's always done...

I just love it when the NRA takes membership money and works with anti-gunners such as Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York to pass the Veterans Disarmament law. Do a Yahoo search to or visit her site to learn more. Beertracker :confused:

I have a Tikka Whitetail Hunter model. This is the model before the T3 series. I will just say I am quite happy with it. It's accurate, smooth as glass action, free floating barrel and user adjustable trigger pull. Mine is wood and I share the same concern you do about dinging up the wood...

Here is another data point. The last time I was at the Pasadena, TX guns show there was a dealer selling Russian Capture K98s for $230. This was in Oct 07. Look around at guns show and see whats available. Good luck. Regards, Beertracker

Thanks to all who replied. I can't wait to get some range time and see how the Underwood performs. Beertracker :)

Hi: Just received a CMP Underwood M1 carbine. My question is, "should the bolt stay open when the magazine is empty?" Also what can you tell me about cleaning and lubing the gas piston? I will be using non-corrosive ammo. Thanks, Beertracker :)

Interesting post. I have a Western Field Montgomery Ward M550ABD 12 ga. pump; no doubt a Mossy. I bought it in the late 70s or early 80s at a Montgomery Ward store. It came with a 28" C-lect choke bird barrel. I always wondered why manufacturers dropped C-lect chokes? I recently purchased a...

Minator, you mentioned being left handed. I too am left handed and quickly noticed how few left hand bolt actions are out there. After much searching I came across a Tikka Whitetail 3006 left hand bolt. Its one sweet shooter, very accurate, free floating barrel, adjustable trigger pull...

I suppose the NRA will have an exemption for 12 ga. Fudd guns. :rolleyes: beertracker

When the dems win the end will just come sooner.:D

I went with a Polish underfolder AKM47 kit. Its at the builder now. My friend has one and its really nice. Beertracker :)

Thanks to all who replied. This is really good info. I plan on taking my shotgun to the range and do some testing to determine slug drop. I suppose a 60 yd shot would be max for where I am hunting in Illinois. Mswestfall and I will be hunting the same area of Illinois. He mentioned...

Hello: This deer season I will be hunting in Illinois using 12 ga. slugs. My shotgun only has a bead front sight. So how much of a dis-advantage is it to use this gun with slugs? Is it serious enough to use a different shotgun which has front and rear sights? How much drop can I expect...
