    Puma or Marlin levergun?

    Marlins are exceptionally strong as mentioned easy or quite simple to take apart and do a thorough clean. I've owned a few and now none. If I was serious in buying another levergun for a handgun cartridge that is I would lean toward the Puma in the .454 Casull...have the dies,brass,bullets etc...

    Cold Blue?

    personally, as mentioned the cold blues don't wear all that well. Duracoat is just a "paint" as liken to Krylon.......it works and has wear certainly, I've tried them both. What I have found that works well if you don't use too much humidity is Laurels Mtn. Forge browning. Browned my Win. 94...

    Polishing Mauser bolt

    if it is just a home remedy polish then nothing wrong with the polishing set up or Emery cloth or crocus cloth....you're not taking metal off you are "polishing" perse'. But then again if you are not adept then by all means "find" a [B]good[B] gunsmith and he in short time or order will have it...

    If you shoot a Mauser, check this out.

    I think I have one fine VZ24 and it is loaded with the 200 grn Partitions and just rests in the rack-will look into this again and order it. thanks

    If you shoot a Mauser, check this out.

    I've noted them before and have yet to buy a set for my VZ24, surely it improves sight acquisition and accuracies?

    Control Feed Vs. Push Feed

    Hawkeye .308.........of course. edit: after all these yrs. of shooting a few Rugers "CRF" I had to try the "snap-over" the round feeding you mentioned-be sonofagun! It does.

    Control Feed Vs. Push Feed

    any real adavantage? dangerous game yes-all of mine here in the upper interior of AK. is CRF. But advantage I believe with the push feed is the concentricity of bullet to bore. You see more push feeds shooting more precisely in shooting matches etc. I have owned quite a number of push feeds...

    What rifle action do you shoot with the most?

    bolt guns, do have only 1 semi, that is the M1 Garand. Mostly controlled fed actions - M98's. Favorite is my FN Higgins .30-338 excluding .22's of course.

    Remington 30's

    am considering in pulling a barrel on one of these and what can I expect? I have action wrench an bbl. vise for both the Win/Mauser-this should work correct? With the Rem. 30's I have read sometime back somewheres that there is some difficulties in pulling them-maybe torqued on pretty tight...

    45-70 (bear?)

    wyocarp, if I ain't done anything right why am I still here after enough grizz I have shot and the ribs I have ate. Don't hold water? Buddy, I have been charged/bluff a few times, actually more times than I like but never "attacked". I am certainly not like the likes of Timothy TREADWELL-I go...

You...

    45-70 (bear?)

    I have owned 2 casulls and can attest to its weight carry deficit but.......boy are they something! They shoot the big mid 400grns with great accuracies-a sure fire compremize in close. Many cannot shoot them good or at all so here comes a rifle in subject. Some say the only reason they own a...

    45-70 (bear?)

    just a fast note on the Rem. 405's loaded by Alaskan Ammo yrs. back--it penetrated a 60" bull at 75 yds for half the distance in the chest cavity! shocked! It did kill though. I began my loading after that with hard cast and always satisfied with the end results. your mileage may vary
