About 20 years ago I started a collection of the cartridge rifles issued in mass to the US Army. To this date I have collected a replica '73 Trapdoor (H&R), a Krag carbine (Bannerman's or DCM), a...

Thanks for the info guys. I love this rifle and really want it to be a shooter. The reloading trick seems to be a pretty simple fix.

Greetings all. I've been sulking in the shadows here and studying for a while but now I'm the proud new owner of a slightly bubba'd 1905 Ross rifle in .303 British. After examination and remote...
