    Crazy auction

    I've been idly looking for an old PPC gun and ran into this listing on GB. The seller says it's a K38 but no, it's either a M14 or 15. Anyway, the frame is cracked in at least two places, the Aristocrat rib is bent and the cylinder won't open. Oh yeah, also rust in the bore and screws...

    Junction, TX; Processing

    I’m going to get some of you telling me to process my own deer. Been there too many times. Wife and I are in our 70’s and just don’t want to do it. That said, I’m strictly meat hunting around Junction Texas and would like to find a processer there or nearby. Is the company “Junction Deer...

    Long time heirloom

    A very long time shooting partner of mine is 87 years old and still shoots sub MOA groups at a 1,000 yds prone off a bipod. Below is pictured his Wheelock and Allen 22 short that was bought new by his grandfather around 1857! My friend made the replacement grips and still shoots it occasionally...

    Spring has sprung-Snake

    This afternoon I took the 4 wheeler to check the well and this fella was waiting for me. I can't hear them rattle and I missed him in the grass. Walked up to within 2 feet and finally saw it cocked, locked and buzzing. I always have a shotgun on the buggy so it was short work. Closest I've been...

    Stephen A. Camp Website

    I’d never owned a Hi Power until I recently ran into a good deal and acquired a forged frame MK111 in great condition. I’d like to buy a couple of Mr. Camp's guides from his widow, and know she was selling his books through the old website, but the site was last updated in 2018. Anybody know if...

    Winchester 69A age

    I picked up an excellent, plain Jane 69A yesterday and I'm trying to figure out if it's pre-war or not. It has a straight bolt handle, the caliber roll mark on the barrel is " .22 S L or LR" instead of written out, the rear sight is a simple notch with sliding elevator, no groves on the...

    Old school components

    I started loading a run of 38SP yesterday and, while digging into the dusty recesses of my bullet stash, ran into some bullets I've had for decades. The first pic is of a box I had put some long forgotten wadcutters in. These are half jacketed 146gr HPs. I carried these back in the 80's...

    North East Target and Shooting Supply ??

    While looking around for some 150 gr bullets for my Garand I ran into North East Target, They have unbranded bulk bullets for pretty good prices. Has anybody here bought from them? Any thoughts? I don't expect stellar accuracy but at least reasonable quality. I have been using Hornady 150...

    GARAND SPRING KIT

    I'm going to detail my Garand and while it's apart replace all the springs. Currently it has the springs that were there when I got it and the clip ejection has become sluggish. I usually use Wolff for all things gun spring but then I ran into Orion 7's site and got to wondering. Anybody have...

    Beretta M81 flap holster

    I picked up a very nice Beretta M81 during the big sell off a couple of years ago. I have since been idly searching the web for an issue flap holster to no avail. I have found some made for a Walther PP that seem like they'd work but I don't know. The Walther and M81 have the same barrel length...

    MS I-Bak discontinued?

    I just went on Milt Sparks site and saw the I-Bak isn't listed. I was going to give them a call Monday and probably order one for my new-to-me Sig P229. Is it gone or special order? Anybody have any info? I guess if they're gone I'll call Ritchie and get a Speed Scabbard. May be a better deal...

    Sig 299-22 ?

    To start this off, I’m a 50+ year gun owner but have never owned, or know much about, Sig pistols. That said, today in a somewhat convoluted gun swap in which several guns and some cash traded hands, I ended up with a Sig 229-22 among other things. At least I think that’s what it is. The...

    Mail a Contender action

    I own a TC Contender rifle and would like to send it off for a trigger job via USPS. The smith I will use wants the action only with no stock or barrel. Since there is no difference between rifle and pistol actions, am I in possible legal jeopardy by sending a rifle receiver via US mail? Can any...

    PSA AR mags

    I have an opportunity to buy a lot of PSA stamped 30rd AR15 mags pretty cheap. They're aluminum and pretty much identical to GI mags. I don't really need any more mags but these might be good to stash for hard times. Anyway, are PSA mags made by D&H? If not are they still decent mags? Any cons?

    Is Ammogarand.com GTG?

    I have a '41 Springfield Garand that came from the DCM in the 60s and the rear sight has become worn. The elevation pinion and the "rack" on the rear sight are both worn and need to be replaced. I'm seeing '42-'44 NOS Springfield parts for sale from ammogarand.com. I know nothing about that...

    Balvar 8 scope mount value

    Several months ago I bought a 722 in 244 Rem with a Blavar 8 scope in a Krusky Bros. adjustable mount. Everything is in very good shape except the scope glass is a little yellowed and suffers from the lack of coatings. I’m going to replace the scope and mounts with a Weaver K6 in Tally rings and...
