ain't this the truth. On my 97 trench gun, the blueing on the bolt started to heavily wear after not 20 rounds, and after less than 100 the magazine tube started to show the use, even with careful...
Another relic back in service. I'm going to try to get to the range soon to check the chamber ring alignment - barrel is NOS winchester 20" cylinder, not a cutback. On to the 30 inch forend....
indeed. your friend is optimistic. In the best case, it through all the normal permutations of parts during service, possible (probable) rebuilds in between, and final servicing at CMP, it ended with...
Don't let size dissuade the possibility. I've seen an entire, very fat, squirrel carried off in daylight by a rather small red tail hawk. Landed on it with some force. I was not 20 yards away working...
I frequently get such things in my yard - usually in the form of squirrels, sometimes rabbits. I have a very large, tall old growth red oak and two large silver maples in the back yard. We have a lot...
Sorry I don't have any info for you, but I did notice the last update to their website, and archives page, was 2013, and that the website doesn't use SSL, not even for the login page. It is pretty...
LOL. Either way, I have noticed that carbine accuracy has little to do with ammo, when compared to the overall fitup of the stock.
Ok, so boyds' replacements aren't entirely a waste. In addition to the wrong butt length though, there was 0 (zero) material at the wrist to work with. On either side the woods' edge is just barely...
The PPU soft points are pretty accurate in both my carbines, and by this I mean they can ring a 10 inch gong at 100yds with some consistency.
Just spitballing. I suppose also plausible is Bubba dropped his dremmel on it.
I was wondering accident too, but in addition to being straight, is is also pretty deep, deeper then the stamp, perfectly perpendicular to the bore axis, and with tapered edges showing the mark was...
I would politely disagree on this point. When it comes to wood any petroleum based lubricant or oil on will soak into the fibers, soften the wood, and eventually turn the fibers to mush. Take a...
A comparison of rust preventatives was done long while back by Brownells. I know I posted it here a few times, and it's referenced in many other forums but since Brownell's reworked their website...
I don't have one. Maybe someone does. One can be made from details in a good reference book, like Poyer & Riesch. Some might argue the accuracy of some details in Poyer's books, like exactly when...
I was able to get a repop winchester rubber pad, and it will work with the Boyd's replacement stock. I fitted it a couple weeks ago, and started applying finish all the stocks I had on hand. Now I...
Yes. this is the ticket. Cloth back paper is used, normally wet for big jobs. Comes in rolls at harbor freight or the auto parts store. This is backed by a file for the corse passes - I usually start...
Sorry to spoil the surprise! I do always enjoy a Canfield article. And in my house we read the "Armed Citizen" section aloud at the breakfast table. If you start the same habit Sapper, I bet it would...
usually its the screw that strips, as the hole is supposed to be harder material than the screw, but I'm not doubting your problem. Just something you may want to confirm if you haven't already.
I'm...
Yes. I'm seeing a T3x Lite, no threaded muzzle, and plastic stock, $749-$950 depending on chambering, barrel length, left or right hand, some options of non-stainless. Hard to believe a...
looks like what I put on my porch rails to keep birds, squirrels, and little kids' butts off of them.
I think you all are right. Is the C19 version just as ugly with the same laminate stock?
I wish there was a repop 1918 scope and rings. I have a 1917 sporter action burning a hole on my shelf.
Google tells me RSL is the "Returned Services League". Is this a government agency responsible for memorials? or has your government just delegated such things entirely to an NGO. I'm just curious...
Couple bits in this month's American Rifleman...
Commercial version of Canadian C19, which replaced the last serving Enfield No. 4's in 2018, which was news to me, although I had never thought about...

or 3 lefties and 1 righty! Of course this is likely not the case and I'm just being silly, but we have seen plenty of reflected/mirrored pictures showing left-handed bolt action rifles...
