My father joined the Army in September 1940 as an aircraft mechanic, but went to OCS in Miami (In Hank Greenberg's group!). Became an adjutant for a service squadron in New Guinea during the war. As an adjutant, he was issued a 1911 pistol... new in the box, and wrapped in wax paper. It said...

I have worked up a 12 page treatise on how to carve a stock... in particular a Savage 99 stock (and forearm). This relates to the Savage 99 specifically, but is good for any shotgun/rifle butt stock and forearm. As I said, no charge. Email me at [email protected] and I shall send it to you...

I have a problem, and perhaps you will understand. I often buy rifles and pistols that are pre 1940, or so... as old as 1873's. Most of the time the bore is not mentioned (as on Gunbroker), and so, the first thing I want to know about is the condition of the bore. I am often frustrated with the...

The Jungle Carbine Whew, that brought back memories. My father bought one in 1964 from a mail order house, (For $19.95), and I took it out and shot it a few times, then went deer hunting with it up in the Pecos (New Mexico). Never even shot it while hunting. It had the flash supressor...

I have a vintage Savage that was drilled for a scope at some time in the past and I'm considering restoring the rifle. What is the best method of welding in the holes prior to a reblue? I know that certain welds will blue a different shade of color (such as tig)... but is that the case in every...

Is there anything that will fill cancer holes, and then can be reblued?

I am thoroughly confused... how does one fill in the cancer holes? Surely, you can't just buff out everything.

I am not talking .303 British, but rather .303 Savage.

Howdy... I have a few questions about rechambering. Can one take an old barrel in something like 303 savage and have it chambered in 38-55? Is it difficult for a gunsmith to rebore it? Also, how would the remarking of the new caliber be accomplished?

I just came back from my FFL, collecting a rifle purchase and he showed me his diminuitive "H. Pieper" single shot .22. Quite new to me, I am always interested in history, and so this little rifle fascinates me. The stock is junk now... I mean junk. Has a half dozen nails holding the remnants...

Yeah... it is tough I am 65 and can relate to everyone who has made comments. But for me, it translates into a different problem. I rarely shoot, but in my collecting I have noticed a definite problem that has turned up recently... I can't see a bore clearly! When I shine my light into a breech...
