I recently fulfilled a dream from my high school days by acquiring a 6.5X55mm for hunting. Living in the the Inter Mountain West ,Elk or Wapiti may be on the hunt schedule.What is the collective wisdom of the forum on the appropriate bullet for heavy game out of the 6.5X55mm? I understand the...
Does anyone know why the Swedes chose to adopt a carbine M94-barrel length 17.7 in -before they adopted a std. length-29 in - infantry rifle M96. My thought is that most countries adopting a Mauser rifle adopted a long infantry rifle first and then a carbine.
What is the experience of the list regarding rifle scope failure when the rifle is carried in the field on an atv/four wheeler? I ask the question due to looking for coyotes on my atv with a scoped rifle in the gun rack.. I note that the vibration of the rifle in my traverse mounted gun rack is...
I want to carry my tokarev in the field in an open top, retention strap, holster.
I do not find the tokarev listed on the holster charts. Does anybody know of a holster that will work?
I recently got a new M57 and note that the Serbs have adopted something like the 1911 firing pin stop on their version 9 shot version of the Tokarev along with some other improvements/changes. However, the firing pin stop does not come out as easy as all the 1911 stops I have manipulated over...

It has really come into it own as a "useful" mountain/truck grouse gun while Elk hunting or mountain treking in Idaho. Standard velocity .22 s...

On reflection, my bug for a new or relined barrel is so I can see how an origanl Parker Hale mold minie will shoot.
Euroarms lists their...
I have been shooting a used Euroarms Enfield Musketoon for about two years now and have put about 1000 rounds through it. The bug has hit me to have it relined to compensate for wear. I note on N-SSA site Whiteacre and Hoyt seem to be the top replacement barrel vendors.

I picked up the top half of a Parker Hale .58 Minie mold at a gun show last May.
Not having the bottom plug I tried my bottom plug from a Lyman 575611PH mold. It was too small.
I have an old 500 grain RCBS Minie mold from which I tried the bottom plug. It fit.
Also, I found the RCBS mold...
