    Rebarrel Smith and Wesson with crush fit barrel?

    In terms of S&W it's like them asking you Paper or plastic? In this case it pinned or push? Pinned barrel or swage fit, that will tell you if it's something that can be done locale or will it need special tools and some one with the training from S&W?

    Price Check Model 29-2

    650.00 to 700.00 seems to be what they are bringing around this area. I have a special order 5" magnaported special they put out in 1975, that I would not take less than that for.

    Top Ten Combat Rifles on the Military Ch.

    I have to place the AN-94 at the top of any list of today's best. I feel that the Russians have really got it right with that rifle. As to the Mauser 98, they have got it right for that rifle. No military rifle has had as much influence on the production of rifles in the history of the world...

    .416 Ruger

    I just came to the conclusion that the .416 Ruger will be the answer to a mistake I made with a barrel blank I ordered from Lilja. I guess my head was up my wazoo the day I order this blank in a #4 contour. I have been through the, why, why, why with this blank every time I pick it up. Man is...

    Starline brass with a primer?

    It sounds to me like someone was doing a primer test with that case and it got mixed in somehow? Some years ago, I bought over 10,000 Federal new brass that was bough for scrap weight value. It was all unfired new brass used in their primer test program. All the brass was as clean as a hounds...

    New (to me) Marlin 39

    If it was mine I would bush the chamber, and have no worries about ammo. Take it to a competent gunsmith for the work. Or if the bore is not that good have him put a liner in for you. Ever barrel in rimfire I have ever had lined shot better than when new. Liners have a new chamber, so you can...

    Loading Silvertips

    14 grains of 2400 with a bullet of that weight is a good safe load with all the normal warnings. For any loads with 9mm, you want to look at 700X or 800X it is a vary good powder or powders and loading information is available on line for these powders. I have loaded many pounds of these...

    before you bash MSNBC...

    GE the parent company of MSNBC, NBC,had a 129 billion reasons to be slanted as they were. They knew that the demos's held the purse string for the bail out, that has been on the back burner long before it hit the American public's front porch. Wonder why their stories about Berry sounded like...

    Recommend a swagging press

    There are other options available, from modifying RCBS Rock Chuckers and the Big frame .50BMG press. Larry Blackmon offers swage presses. You can also inquire with Nemei dies. If fact there is a lot of different die makers that offer modified presses and the how to modify existing presses. I...

    got a winchester 75 a while back and...

    No it is not. Wolf is just one brand on a long list that you need to try. Some rifles do vary well with Wolf, some do better with Eley or Lapua. There is just to many options out there to say what will work best in any rimfire.

    Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Pre-War

    You are right about "not collectible" Only because of the rear bridge being drilled and tapped. As to the safety. Many years ago, a Colorado gunsmith by the mane of Tilden made a safety for the model 54/70. Much like the one shown in your pictures. Eventually WINCHESTER bought Tildens...

    Don't buy a Cooper

    Any one that has ever spoken to Dan Cooper for more than just 30 seconds, knows Dan ain't the smartest cookie in the jar.

    Flaws in the AK design: By an AK lover.

    The stock design under recoil makes target rea-acquiring is next to impossible due to muzzle flip. The audible clank form the selector lever. Makes for great attention getter when trying for stealth. The sights are so poor that they become unusable in full auto. Of course due to the poor...

    Pick the parts you need from the drawing, find the numbers for the parts. Scroll down and match the part numbers. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/schematics/schemmfg.aspx?schemid=283&m=9&mn=Marlin%c2%ae&model=39A+ I hope this helps.

    My old Bushmaster XM-177 needs a change, ideas?

    I see a problem that is fundamental to all of the AR platforms out there. Short ctgs only, not much room to move the bullet forward.. Any more length to the case is a handicap. The 6.5 Grendel is about the limit in case length and the ability to get longer bullets to work. That .50 Beowulf is...

    3 shots with 7mm mag and still ran 300+ yards

    Sounds like the stories of guys using Remington Bronze points. For the first part of the life of the 7mm Remington mag, only Bronze points was the only factory loads available. They were great for blowing hair off of animals and not doing much in the way of penetration, against bone.

    Omg !!!!!!!!

    Personally, I try like heck to keep it under a hundred. I find after a hundred it's hard to remember what you have. People with better memories than mine, need not apply.

    Big Bores

    I have and use several .375H&H's. It is my favorite ctg above all others for a mid size bore. When the need arose for a better squirrel rifle I found that the .500 NE filled the bill. Mine is on a 1897 WR single shot action and is the perfect rifle for these pesky squirrels in the neighborhood...

    Omg !!!!!!!!

    You need a five firearm buffer to protect you from the number 13 in case of trades. That way you won't unconsciously stumble into trouble again.

    My old Bushmaster XM-177 needs a change, ideas?

    No sir, they need separate magazines for both the 6.5 and a different mag for the 6.8. Personally I would not give closet space for the 6.8. The .277 in the AR is just a looser in my opinion. You might want to do some reading up on the subject before you jump in...
