Hey Johnny, I hope this photo is sufficient for you to be able to see the Scepters, with "G" on the left, "B" on the right, and "2" at the bottom. Can you tell me what date is indicated?...

Hey Johnny, I hope this photo is sufficient for you to be able to see the Scepters, with "G" on the left, "B" on the right, and "2" at the bottom. Can you tell me what date is indicated?...
Hey MK111, You've done your good deed for the day! Thanks for making me aware of rimfirecentral.com. I'm really enjoying perusing the very interesting and valuable posts there. Yes, your...
I'M BACK Sorry, but I've been OOC, with no Elect Service, and on & off Water Service, from Friday, June 29, until yesterday. Both continue to come and go. It all started with an extreme...
Thanks Buccaneer, and Thanks Jim for your response. I hope the attached photos are good enough. Please forgive me for not providing them with my first message. Can you explain what the...
A Little Help Please: I have a Mossberg .22 Rifle Mod 42M-B, Ser #193xx. Can anyone tell my what the upward pointing Arrow Stamps on both sides of the butt stock mean? I think it's called a...
Glen, Thanks for your comments. The pistol in your photo appears to be a much earlier example than mine. Are your "Prototypes" stamped with the Reising name or address? I would be...
310483104931050Hello GBERG11, I'm hoping you can tell me how I might find info about my Reising .22 Auto Pistol / Rifle. Its obviously a Reising Semi-Auto .22 Pistol, but in a very unusual...
Hey Bruce, You were wrong! I don't know if I'll ever be able to believe anything else you tell me. You got it exactly right on the 1st round; it was a "DEAD PRIMER", just as you PREDICTED. I...
Thanks a lot TonyE, I previously thought "9"= September, "36"= 1936. I stand corrected. Your imput is most appreciated. My 6.5 ammo looks to be in good shape. I hope it don't blow me up...
CORRECTION for my last post. I mistakenly said that my ammo is stamped "SMI 939". My 6.5 ammo is actually stamped "SMI 936". I'm sorry for any confusion.

jonnyc, I looked at my photo again and saw the "wrong" tip you refer to. I had not noticed it before. I then dug out the opened box of ammo again, and found that only 3 or 4 of the rounds look...
jmoore, Thanks for your response. My research turned up two or three versions, or sizes of the 6.5 round, and I'm unsure whether this one is right for my Carcano. I look forward to learning more. ...
307863078730788I just became the proud owner of what appears to be a Carcano Mod #91/28, stamped "Beretta Gardone 1932, Ser #20xxx". Total length= 37 inches. Muzzle to receiver= 17 inches. The...
HOO YAAH!!! It worked!! Prompted by Daveboy's suggestion, I went out today to see if the P14 action likes Sierra, 180gr, with pointy end bullets, and it did. I've had this gun since 1994, and...
How do you like my new scope?!?! It's a Celestron. Seriously though, I guess I've become a bit out of touch, as far as firearms optics are concerned. I'm now on a mission to check with all my...
Hey Chuck, I haven't taken any game with my Swift, and I haven't worked at it hard enough to get the dime group, but I feel pretty solid and capable with it. I believe and respect what I'm...
Hey Promo, The only thing I've done to the P14 was cleaning with oil, rag and elbow grease. The Gunsmith only mounted the scope. I really don't know who did any of the other work. I wish I...
Promo, When I got this rifle, it had the pictured "Armstrong" on it. The Gun Smith removed the peep to mount the Scope. I can't remember how well the Armstong performed 18 years ago, but it...
Yeah, I know, it is a shame the "Original" is no longer with us. But, whoever did the work did so with obvious love and respect for this great old rifle. I'm sure that, at the time, it was the...
Pattern 14, 303 British, 1916 ERA, sporterized by UNKNOWN. Silver 1944 dime; possibly an important date in it's life. Shoots great, so I had a Gun Smith mount the Swift 4x12x40 Scope. The action...
This great site has already been good to me. I've enjoyed perusing the outstanding Posts, with their wealth of valuable information. I also very much enjoy the occasional "Funny" offered up by...
