Back in te 70's, I was working part time at Morris Sporting Goods, down on the 200 block of Central Ave. in Great Falls, on my off-duty time. The owner got in touch with Sharon, and we started...
I bought the Ruger last year. Gave it to my grandson because I couldn't sell the thing. Loading gate had an unnecessarily stiff spring in it, and I understand it's a very common complaint about the...
Mine was found in a similar condition, but with further modifications. It still uses an MI bolt assembly, along with an MI magazine, but the bolt handle has been modified for scope use. Mine came...
I like to pick up those stocks whenever I can, unless Bubba did damage that can't be recovered from. Most times, I encounter Mausers and 03's that have had those stock fitted, but rarely shaped to...
Picked up another 'sportered' 1903 yesterday. S/N SA 931,XXX with 4-18 SA barrel.
Lightly buffed, Redfield side mount aperture, with a thin, gold bead after market post mounted in the original...
I picked one up a couple years back, a BSA No.1***. The forestock had been shortened, the upper handguards missing, as well as the metal. Perfect bore, good headspace. It also has the original...
Much to still be said for keeping a vehicle with points and carburetor. Yeah, yeah, I get it...my EFI pickups start without a hitch, even when it's -20 and a 30 kt wind overnight. If they quit,...
The butt and forend that I put on my 1921 vintage .30-30 Savage carbine could be bookends to those two pieces on ebay.
I've run into the same problem from time to time. Most often happens if I neck sized cases and tried to use the rounds in a different rifle than they were originally fired in. These days, for...
The actual cost of having a new barrel mounted would depend entirely on what the shop sets for a price, and it varies widely. The CMP 'Custom Shop' has new Criterion barrels available, and a set fee...
3,608,000 is the first, 3,608,001 is the second,......
I went with the Lyman Alaskan. If you mount the forward ring behind the adjustment turrets, the scope will be far enough forward to fully operate the original safety. I also use a K2.5 60B in...
The bolt cut in the scant stock appears legit to me, but I'm not an expert, just have seen a few originals. I've got that stock's twin ready to go on my own. If the metal finish bothers you, as it...
In the past, my understanding was that Mike Kokolus was one of the best stock duplicators around. Has anyone used that outfit now that Mike has passed on?

Was in a fire camp, up on Loon Creek, Frank Church/River of No Return wilderness. New fire boss came into camp in what had been a spanky-new Dodge 3/4 ton pickup. Not a straight panel or piece of...
Dad was a Captain of the security force at the Idaho National Laboratory, started right after he got back from Korea, late 52-early 53. Back then, they had model 10's, they retired those, and gave...
I fell into one a couple years back, No.1***, BSA, dated 1906. Missing safety assembly, rear volley sight, forestock shortened, forward upper handguard missing. I removed the charging 'shuttle'...
No one caught the 'gold' bead aftermarket front sight blade?
Last shot at cleaning netted shredded woven cotton patches, leaving remnants stuck to the sharp edges of the craters in the lands. Revealed pitting that completely 'cut' the lands, and extend below...
If you've access to a good machinist, or can do it yourself, it's not a terribly tough job.
There's at least two ways to skin this cat. Machining the breach end of the barrel and making a spacer...
I picked up one of the high wood, single bolt Sedgley stocks to assemble a display piece. Inletting looked like it'd been done by a drunken beaver with a chainsaw and a double bit axe.....
I don't ship a damned thing via UPS! If I have a choice when having items shipped to me, I specify ANYONE BUT UPS.
Hi, Sunray! The 1941 USMC rifle used an 8x Unertl target scope that was regularly taken off of the rifle to protect it, and reinstalled with minimal adjustment, and a special container was provided...
AFAIK, a pad made and issued specifically for an A4 is fantasy. Pads were used with the offset scope setup for the M1C and D to maintain a decent stock weld and provide alignment with the offset...
