I broke down and bought the tool. One of those great and necessary purchases that you never realized how much you needed it till you finally had it. Seems like every time I sweep under the bench, or...
Ebay will always favor and cater to sellers. One should never expect anything different. I don't think I've ever bought something on eBay that I expected, required, or cared was "authentic".
Yes there should be a screw underneath. Probably covered with century old dried grease?

I really wanted Edmonton to win. Before anyone calls me a traitor for not rooting for the USA team - go look at how many American's play for Edmonton, and how many Canadians play for Florida, then go...
Varget and IMR4895+IMR4064 has finally been readily available again, but the price point I'm seeing in-store abruptly went to +$10 a pound from where it was when it first came back on the shelves....
Careful with the armor piercing stuff! At my range, some people often slip by our range officers with AP rounds, but they always get caught when they quickly chew through the steel targets we...
In other discussion/debate on this forum - it has been revealed (with published sources) that USMC continued to maintain and use low number rifles long the problem isolated and the Army recalled. It...
once you heal - you'll have a great time with your MAS. I find my MAS36 to be about the handiest bolt action rifle. The cons list are...getting the right rear sight for your zero (mine came with the...
For what it's worth, I purchased in round 2 and round 4. Between my experience and that of several friends, it looks like Service Grade is a high probability of getting a govt. contract replacement...
not surprising. I received a field grade Remington rand in round 2 - came with a chrome lined replacement barrel looked as clean as yours, likely never fired from what my bore scope showed, and shot...
In my experience - on the range, a smokey round is usually the first round, not due to ammo but of a user who did not wipe the oil out of their bore before firing, and likely slathered it in oil...
That wild rhododendron is no joke - absolutely no way through it. I've done some off-trail adventuring in the sods as well and when you get to it, you pray going around doesn't take you up too high,...
LOL nice catch.
My son and I decided to take a 4 day trip second half of spring break and try to make it to the Lion's Head summit atop Breathed Mtn. There are 3 ways to get to the top. The hardest is a near...
ordered April 7. mine shipped this morning. It does clearly state on the site up to 3 days for processing. no complaints at all.

There are a couple double rifle safari guns in the National Firearms Museum up the road that are curiously made for folks like us - right handed weapons but the wrist of the stock snakes out to the...
Welcome! there aren't many of us. I bet you can shoot right handed also just as well, even if it feels a bit unnatural. My left eye dominance is very slight, but habits like shooting left handed,...
Thanks, Rick for the heads up. FYI the price was 242.95 but with free shipping. Price is well worth it for the brass and clips alone. Last time I wanted just a clip or two for my range back the...
I think any heating would, dry, water, or steam, would ruin the adhesive between layers if it's laminate. If solid you can protect the detailed using a piece of neoprene rubber on top to press it...
I've never seen a 1903 stock where the lower band spring's pin was visible, nor where the inletting showed the rear cross bolt. Then again I admit I haven't handled enough to know for certain whether...
such was my first one too and I had to make a block to set the ears back to square. I think I would prefer to bayonet fight with a 1917.
I had corrective surgery a while back. I spent over 40 plus...
The metal on the rear sight base is very soft, and the peens are easily overcome with a stout whack of the right weight hammer - but you need to support the ears with a block between them. A 3d...
This is the simplest and cleanest way to go about it. File down the heads, and paper polish the area to blend before parking. If done carefully you can make them pretty well disappear. For example,...
