You introduced me to Jim Land at a Chantilly, VA gunshow some 10 (?) years ago. I am confused as to why someone would question your veracity.

Living in Rome, Italy as a kid we would wait for the pine cones to drop from the old pines in the various park areas. They would hit and almost explode, scattering their pine nuts (Nature's...
Haven't shot it in a while, but still enjoy mine. The 6.5x55 is kind to my shoulder.51385
Yesterday, Veterans Day, I watched the third film version of Erich Maria Remarque's 1929 book, All Quiet On The Western Front. I have never read the book. The original is in German, which I do not...
Like Lyman said, "torque." My M151A2 jeep in Germany had a mere 71 HP, but it was all torque and there was nowhere it couldn't go. Especially with chains on.
Not me, but someone may need this to fill a void on their wall/desk.

That's "Minute Of Chipmunk," right there! I enjoy your M14/M1A - related posts, but this small bore subject matter surprised me. But it is equally as interesting.
Welcome!
Message sent, Tom. Here's a pic of the stamp. Best I could muster.

Follow-up. The Winchester site dates my shotgun to 1918, but two other sites list it as 1919 through 1921, depending on site. The only stamp on my stock is a "W.B." in a box, which is the inspection...
1918 manufacture date, but WWII-era heat shield. CYL on barrel. A stamp on stock I can't quite figure out. NO circle w/ P, no ordnance bomb, no martial markings I can see at all. Just a stamp on...
Thanks lyman. 1918. Older than I expected.
Can someone point me to where I can date, by serial #, the mfg of this shotgun, please? I usual haunt other CSP areas, such as Garand, M1903, reloading, etc. but have rarely posted anything here....
Received notification that Grafs has in stock the Prvi Partizan brass in .303 British. Phew! They limit you to 3 bags of 50. Have been looking for this for ages and, now that I have what I need,...
On my M1907 slings I use Montana Pitch Blend, which is a mix of pine pitch, mink oil & beeswax. They claim it inhibits fungus/mildew. I like it because it leaves a slightly tacky feel, which is what...
This is interesting....I have pulled 390 bullets of three different calibers. Some bullets needed tumbling, some did not (just a wipe down). Ruined only three or so in the extraction process (Hornady...
Follow-up. After extensive review, I have 390 rounds, in .303, 7.62x54 and 6.5x55 that I loaded with VV N140. Between 2008 and 2015. I doubt I could get that many rounds out of a single pound of...
Yes, Allen, I have been searching/reading on the topic this AM. Sounds like I will chuck the brass. At least it is PPU, not Lapua! I have had success recovering and cleaning up old .30-06 Silver-Tip...
Any chance of pulling bullets to see if they'll clean up? And maybe pop the primers and see if brass is recoverable?
About 10 years ago I thought I was coming into an Enfield. I was so sure of it that I went ahead and loaded some ammo for it fully expecting to shoot it all within a year. Well, it fell through, so I...
I have an Anschutz sporting rifle in .22 WMR. It sports a fixed 4x scope. It is my go-to gun when I opt to walk around the farm for groundhogs, as opposed to stationary hunting with a .22-250. Light,...

This inquiry begs for a photo of the area of interest, please.
I am in Loudoun County, VA. My wife signed us up. I believe it is the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy (https://loudounwildlife.org). We get to roam the winery alone before opening. I also make the...
