Rifle for the field @Capto, I got a 1500 Howa. The CZ was too spendy.

I recently fulfilled a dream from my high school days by acquiring a 6.5X55mm for hunting. Living in the the Inter Mountain West ,Elk or Wapiti may be on the hunt schedule.What is the collective wisdom of the forum on the appropriate bullet for heavy game out of the 6.5X55mm? I understand the...

Wonderful! What game will you use it for?

Thank You!

Does anyone know why the Swedes chose to adopt a carbine M94-barrel length 17.7 in -before they adopted a std. length-29 in - infantry rifle M96. My thought is that most countries adopting a Mauser rifle adopted a long infantry rifle first and then a carbine.

They make pretty good spits for roasting in the field.

Yes that is the type rack I have.

What is the experience of the list regarding rifle scope failure when the rifle is carried in the field on an atv/four wheeler? I ask the question due to looking for coyotes on my atv with a scoped rifle in the gun rack.. I note that the vibration of the rifle in my traverse mounted gun rack is...

solved my problem Picked up a Bianchi 9mm #88 at a gun show today that fits the tokarev.

I want to carry my tokarev in the field in an open top, retention strap, holster. I do not find the tokarev listed on the holster charts. Does anybody know of a holster that will work?

I recently got a new M57 and note that the Serbs have adopted something like the 1911 firing pin stop on their version 9 shot version of the Tokarev along with some other improvements/changes. However, the firing pin stop does not come out as easy as all the 1911 stops I have manipulated over...

19 years with an M6 I have had one for 19 years. I got it as camping gun in Michigan. My son when he was 12 used the .410 for preserve pheasants. It has really come into it own as a "useful" mountain/truck grouse gun while Elk hunting or mountain treking in Idaho. Standard velocity .22 s...

Thanks for the input Thanks to everyone for the input. In that my Musketoon was used I don't know how many rounds it had through it before I got it. On reflection, my bug for a new or relined barrel is so I can see how an origanl Parker Hale mold minie will shoot. Euroarms lists their...

I have been shooting a used Euroarms Enfield Musketoon for about two years now and have put about 1000 rounds through it. The bug has hit me to have it relined to compensate for wear. I note on N-SSA site Whiteacre and Hoyt seem to be the top replacement barrel vendors. 1. Does the...

I picked up the top half of a Parker Hale .58 Minie mold at a gun show last May. Not having the bottom plug I tried my bottom plug from a Lyman 575611PH mold. It was too small. I have an old 500 grain RCBS Minie mold from which I tried the bottom plug. It fit. Also, I found the RCBS mold...

My Field Black Powder Shotgunning Since moving to Idaho six years ago, more time to hunt (due to retirement), a good pointer, and excellent pheasant hunting opportunities have directed my upland game hunting to all black powder. Years ago I bought myself a left hand T/C 12ga. New Englander...

Sometime ago I was given an old replica 1858 Remington New Model Army .44 cylinder. It sat on my desk as paper weight until I happened to have my Pietta 1858 on the desk for some reason. I tried the paper weight cylinder in the the 1858 and it fit! In fact it shoots better than the original...

Ordnance lube #2 I forgot to mention I lube my homade revolver wads with the 9 parts beeswax 1 part olive oil lube too and it does not foul the powder charge. I may ty 100% beeswax on the next run of revolver wads.

Ordnance lube I have the same problem in the Summer months here is SW Idaho. 105 is not uncommon and shoots in 90 degree weather are the rule. I found the US Ordnance lube formula from the Civil War era useful. 9 parts beeswax to 1 part beef tallow was the original mixture. I can't get beef...
