Anyone used or familiar with Fireclean? Are there any precautions with wood stocks/grips or plastic pieces to watch out for? I see a lot of AR15 users have adopted it, but curious why this wouldn't be used for a bolt action with wood stock?
Thanks for the feedback. :)
I have a handful of older 22 rimfire rifles that I'm interested in having refinished. I was thinking about having a few done at a time to save some costs. Primarily just barrel reblueing (I can handle the stocks). I'd prefer something local to SW Missouri or NW Arkansas within driving distance...
I'm looking for a recommendation for a double rifle case. It's primarily going to be used for transporting a Tikka T3 Hunter and a Colt Competition AR 15 - both scoped. I've seen a number of tactical soft cases that are meant for two rifles, but I wondered if the internal straps would rough up...
I have two of these pistols. Well, actually, I have one Hi-Standard Duramatic M101 dated to 1955, and a Sears JC Higgins Model 80 which appears to date by SN to 1956 (yet Sears apparently didn't start selling these till 1957).
Anyway, my question is about ammo. I haven't shot the Duramatic...
I've had similar results to 788Ham, but with Citristrip - also available at your local big box hardware store. Safe for indoor use too. I give it a decent coating and let it set for about 30 minutes, then use a plastic putty knife to scrape it off - or an old toothbrush in the awkward places...
Thanks everyone for the great advice. I got a chuckle out of 788Ham's post. It really does look like some kid with the initials "EFR" that got done with the first side, then flipped the rifle and started on the other. But only got through the "EF" before he was caught by his dad. LOL.
I think I...
I was sort of thinking the same thing. I paid $42 for the rifle as a project gun. So I don't mind putting a little effort into it. I did check Numrich's and a few other places for a stock and didn't find one. But half the fun for me is figuring a solution to the problem vs replacement.
I'm...
Hi All,
I purchased a Springfield (Savage) Model 52-A .22 rifle with the intent of refinishing it. It had very obvious initials carved into the stock. I've gone ahead and removed the first few layers of varnish/stain so that I could get a better picture of what I'm dealing with. I have not...
Yes, I agree. I did find someone else with the exact same model who offered to take his to a local gunsmith and pattern a new firing pin off of his working one. I'm going to try that route first. My local gunsmith has also offered to look at the rifle and attempt to make one without a pattern...
Hi All,
I just purchased a Springfield Jr Model 50. I believe this rifle was made by Page & Lewis prior to their acquisition by Stevens/Savage. Anyway, it's missing the firing pin.
I've been looking and can't seem to find a firing pin specific to the Springfield Jr Model 50. Does anyone...
Does anyone have information on dating a Savage Arms Springfield Model 187 Series A rifle in 22 Long Rifle? The Serial Number is B2859XX. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
