Best fortune with 168 SMK and 4064. Same load with Nosler 168 produced the same group but shot 3" lower for some reason.

Just used a Hawkeye today and they are very clear. Also have experience with the Lyman and maybe not quite so clear but certainly serviceable. Carbon and copper show up well along with leading and...

From another source: These dimensions are not quite to what your diagram shows.

Here is a poem I wrote about the 1903. The poem can be considered public domain and you are welcome to pass it along. Perhaps it will encourage some of you to drag yours out of the closet or vault...

Is it true Mounties were issued the carbines at one time. We pictured a Mountie on his humble steed, reins in one hand and Snider in the other, off to the territories to keep the peace and pursue...

Your tutorial in wonderful and the photos are very adequate. Thank you for sharing

An acquaintance has a few, one a carbine which is a joy to shoot. The sight radius is short and the large sights are a challenge. I was impressed the first time of firing it was the speed in which...

I do this exact same thing with a cast 00 Buck ball (about .328) with Trail Boss or Clays in a 8mm Kropatscheck. Knock out the primer, no case sizing needed for the next loading. Very little...

Perhaps one of my favorites and popular in the folk music scene here in the colonies for the season referencing the Great War

Mine has been cut back and put back to a single shot. Pristine bore and slugs at .452. I use 230 grain .45 acp bullets and 14 grains of Trail boss for easy clean up. Chronographs just over 1080 fps....

In the military vehicle collection circles we would call it a "driver, depot ready". Get it functionally operational and shoot it, in a mass of pristine carbines it will get a few glances and...

I believe it is all in perspective. Many US pistols were of calibers we would categorize as severely under powered. When the Lebel was introduced, I would have been over joyed to have been issued...

Yes I have fired the Fiocchi and it performs fine in the Lebel. What a hoot to fire the old thing again. I can't imagine going into harms way with it as the primary weapon to defend one self.

If you have not read it, there is a book "Ghost Mountain Boys" that will put the New Guinea efforts by those in that picture in perspective. The photo and story are a treasure.

Trying to imagine the moment in time when George Silk shot that photo. The soldier is totally exhausted and tipped over in a snow bank. What would have George said to him before pressing the...

The golden era of weapon design that sparked many to follow...The ease of changing mags from prone as opposed to the BAR.

Last year took a 6 point with a 1903A4 clone. We are in antler restriction for at least 3 points on one side. It takes some doing at early dawn and late evening to find them. This year took a doe...

Both are highly recommended on both counts.

My impression and not with certainty, appears to be a DKUW with fresh troops in pristine uniforms and web gear. In the out of focus background, the shore of the European theater. From the look in...

The diaries, letters, and notes of an American Volunteer in the French ambulance service from June 1917 to May 1919. Royce Wolfe Was 19 when he joined the service and spent most of his time in the...

I applaud your effort. As someone who has also restored more than a few MV's I can appreciate the hours in this vehicle. Mine are more 'motor pool' restorations. I had to be pried away from a...

What great picts of the moment of discharge. Appears you had ample ordnance to expend, though to a civilian it seems it is stacked pretty close to the firing line.....maxim ( A Cloogy/Boxhead mix)

Despite the short comings it rates high on my very cool factor meter...
