Great family photo ! That’s too much intell for my hood

New to this platform / any platform ,just noticed your location ,in Denham Springs wow I’m
Off O’Neal, BR la. Do u reload or hope I’m not breaking any rules

I'm going to try two fairly light loads with 210 grain HBWC and 250 grain FP bullets over 7.4 grains of Trail Boss -- I assembled ten rounds of each load. Since this is a single-shot, I don't have to worry about cartridge OAL or bullet shape for magazine feeding

That is definitely light load territory. Probably good for function testing. Take a cleaning rod to the range with you just in case a bullet gets stuck.

Yes I do reload, but not as much as I used to. I do more wood turning the reloading these days.

Here’s my Finn M24. I bought it a few years back at a good price because, someone had sanded and applied poly to it. I’m working on putting it back to a correct finish.

i shoot all of these, the nambu pistol only a few time with original japanese ww-2 ammo.

I’m really not sure about what happened, or what someone was trying to do to the buttstock.

But once I removed the heavy varnish and wood putty, it was easy to see that they didn’t know what they were doing.

It was so bad that I just cut that area out of the stock and patched it with some Walnut.

It appears that the stock had been decorated with brass furniture tacks at some point, but were removed and filled with wood putty. The holes and rings from the tacks were pretty deep. I would have had to sand away a lot of the stock to get rid of the damage, but I decided that I would leave some evidence of the old handiwork as it was part of the rifle’s history.

There was also damage to the forend, side’s and bottom from where tacks had once been.
It was a fun project that took me a couple of weeks to finish up.

Makes u wonder what were they thinking great repair / rescue ,ha !

Long time favorite Old School Rimfires are this Remington 121 and Winchester Models 63 and 62. Nobody makes .22's like this anymore.View attachment 1052828 View attachment 1052829

[Rubone]

Removing the 10-22s from this pic just leaves the old school rimfires. And a model 06 Winchester pump has since been added.that is a Winchester 63 3rd down and a Winchester 74 5th down.

Rubone
Never seen one of those Long Tom 410s
How long is barrel?

Not that long, the 22 is short! Barrels are 28"

 

[PzGren]

One of my favorite rimfire rifles is a German post war G33, a military training rifle built in the mid fifties by Anschutz on the 54 match action. I shot it in the basement of the barracks.


My dad carried a K98k into Russia on the first day of the assault, my grandfather had a G98 at Verdun.

Just saying; really like true oil ,can apply as much,as little as u want and easy to use to do repairs
Oh like the rub on application

My grandfather holding his rifle for a portrait back in 1961. If you can make it out, it's a M1917 Enfield rebarreled to 25-06 with a muzzle brake. Some things get new again. I put his portrait above my reloading bench.

 

[PonyKiller]

Some good looking and interesting classics in this post.
Here are my contributions:
1927 Spanish m1916 Mauser rechambered to 308. Love this old rifle, it fits great, and is a joy to shoot
Next is my favorite of all, 1961 winchester model 94 in 30-30. It I refinished the stock and freed the seized action. It goes to the range with me very time. Never gets shot a lot, but always shoots some.

And the two of them together in probably the worst pic I took all year

100+ years old.

Refinished by Earl Hickman in Colorado Springs about 20 years ago.

I shoot it in our "old guns" matches every fall

If you were to ask 20 year olds today, the 10-22 IS old school.

I think so too!

Hard to believe it will be closing in on 60 years old in three more years! I bought my one and only 10/22 in the late '70s and it still looks great, still runs perfectly, and still shoots lights out at the range!

 

[PzGren]

If you mean really, really old school, then a Weihrauch HW52 will fit the bill. One single .22 l.r. round - and you better make that one count .
