It looks great Fred. Keep those pictures coming.

Thanks Fred. That's mighty nice of you. I'm getting a little tired of those guys at the zoo chasing me.

That's exactly what those guys at the zoo where I hunt call them turkeys. LOL

That's not a chicken. That's a wild turkey. I hunt those all the time.

I emailed him about a couple of Springfields I have. He was very helpful.
I was reading his Vol. II when I thought I need to ask him about that Savage 99 I have that's supposed to be a Paul Jaeger,...

I remember reading the American Rifleman article about firing the rechambered 6.5 Arisaka. I also read about P.O. Ackley's testing of the Type 99 and if I remember correctly he said the pressure was...

I've got a T/C in 45-70 with the muzzle brake. It's a handful. If you're not careful and get a good hold on it, it will come out of your hand. I'd rather have one without the muzzle brake so it...

J.B. I know my information has to be correct because I found it on the internet.

I looked it up again and it was an American Rifleman written by Bruce Canfield.

Smith-Corona was given the contract in Feb.,1942 for the '03. This was changed to the '03A3 in May, '42 before production started. The first 20 rifles were delivered in Oct.,'42 and 5,540 were...

This is the second time I have seen it listed. I read the story with interest. Always try to learn something new. I don't know what would make a "pseudo famous owner", but I checked the story and the...

I like the pivot mount so you can use the iron sights when you don't want to use the scope.

Thanks Weasel. I checked the internet for Sedgley's for sale and found one with the same type of pad and it sold for a lot more than this one. That threw me off a little. Sometimes your emotions get...

Thanks Michael. PM sent.

Thanks Michael. I noticed the levers. I didn't think the pad was out of place because I saw another Sedgley with the same kind of pad. Then, I've seen them without pads also.
Like your book....

Here it is.

I've been following a auction on GunBrokers for a Sedgley Sporter. It had a Lyman 48 and an Lyman Alaskan in a Griffin & Howe mount. It had no bids until the last two days. Starting bid was $895. I...

Most factory ammo should be safe. Standard factory ammo, no matter the caliber, is usually loaded down for the weakest gun still available. Such as 45-70 in Trapdoor Springfields, 8mm Mauser for old...

Amazing!! I read the whole post tonight, and to see where you started and where you ended is simply amazing. I am envious of your skill and talent. Thanks for sharing.

A little late in reading this, but Johnson Automatic made the 1941 Johnson Automatic that was used by the Marines in WWII. After the war Johnson made rifles on Mauser actions. I have one in 250...
