A friend is considering selling an 1895 Chilean Mauser, made by Leowe's and chambered in 7x57. Appears to be all original, slight surface rust and minor pitting under the wood, otherwise appears to...

Looking at this stuff on the SGC web site a few minutes ago, they now say the Korean ammo is coorosive, Boxer-primed and reloadable. The Irania stuff is non-corrosive (according to SGC), but...

If you had gotten real Cosmoline on your hands, I don't think you would have wiped it off your hands without some kind of solvent, like paint thinner.

As to grades, note that the photo of the...

Wow!

I paid $200 for mine a few years ago, in very good (but not excellent) condition. I had no idea the prices had gone up that much. Now I wish I had bought a second while I had the chance.

Not everyone considers them to be in the 1911 family.

The Ballester-Molina and Ballester-Rigaud pistols were NOT 1911s. They didn't have a grip safety and they didn't have a removable, self-contained mainspring housing. IIRC they could use M1911...

I don't agree with your definition, and I don't think many collectors would.

Let's use a 1918 "Black Army" M1911 as an example. Such a pistol might well have gone through a rebuild or two before...

I read an article on these 1916 Spanish short rifles just the other day that said the reduced recoil loads are safe. If I could remember where I saw the article I'd provide the source. IIRC there was...

Very nice job.

Thanks to all who responded. I don't think I'm in a position to take on loading .308, so I guess the prudent plan will be to pass this little gem up.

Anybody know where I can buy a bent bolt for a...

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me.



Based on your post alone, then, it would not make sense for me (who does not reload for any rifle cartridges) to move...

Hmmm ...

Using the search function didn't turn up anything, but using brute force and just scrolling through this area of the site did. In fact, the rifle I saw today looked exactly like the one...

I stopped into a nearby antique shop this afternoon and spied a rifle that looked a lot like a K98 Mauser short rifle, except that there were no finger grooves in the forestock and no recess under...

I already had an Excel spreadsheet for tracking my "collection" (cough, cough) several years before encountering an early version of your program on another gun forum site. I looked at the screen...

I am also anticipating a report. The A-O GI pistol used to have a problem with the front strap being too "square," which resulted in too much exposed flat in the sides forward of the grip panels....

Good grief!

I had no idea there were so many variations. Thanks (I think :( ).

Is it just my aging eyes, or is that slide stop bent? Compare the photo above to this photo, of another of Mr. Holbrook's pistolas:

Sounds promising. Any suggestions where to start looking for a spare bolt body -- or just haunt the gun shows (which are infrequent around here)?

I have a fairly decent M24/47. I have no desire to "Bubba" it, but I wanted to scope it so I used a scout scope setup that replaces the rear sight ladder with a Picatinny rail. Works fine, and it can...
