    You could try to Cerrosafe casting that might grab the jacket. Plug just in front of the blockage, pour in melted CS and then tap it out with a rod toward the chamber. Should be available at Midway...

    Frank, thanks for posting. I would just price them individually and then as a package for a % less. You will never get the best price for a group (take the $$ scope off the rifle) as you would...

    Got one just like it, about 1,200 later SN#. Part of an NRA offer in the 60's. $50 sounds cheap but today's money, about $500. Still a steal for an unfired M1911A1. My dad put target sights on it and...

    The Ambrose book "Band of Brothers" describes the Leg Bag as a British invention to carry more stuff and the GI's thought it was a great idea. However, none had ever tested them on a real jump. On...

    Nice looking rifle with matching receiver and barrel. Obviously not the correct bayonet. I assume a four groove barrel? Should shoot like a house on fire. One of the first 50,000 made, probably when...

    I got a Marlin 1895 in 450 Marlin/Hornaday in a trade. The cartridge is interesting. It has wide "Magnum" belt and the performance of a "hot" 45-70. The belt keeps you from a loading in a Trapdoor...

    Pretty cool! I have tried to make a 300 M loading (AKA International 1925-27) but never seem to get the right mix of components.

    The ones for the Remington 30 work just fine. I think they are still available at Nurmrich? But as said a ball point pen spring and the broken ejector will work for most shooting.

    At a recent local CMP match, a new shooter borrowed a club M1 Carbine. Because of our "laws" rounds bought at the range stay at the range and you need to shoot them all. After the 35 round match...

    Many of the 1930's Mosins ended up in Spain with the Communists in their Civil war. Sometimes you find them stamped USSR or URSS by the early importers. The screwed in sling slot covers also mark...

    I used a Weaver T9 rail for a 10/22 and the screw holes matched up for a Bubba M1 Garand. The TSR200 sight was a perfect match.
