If you shoot into a round bale from the side and hit hi/lo there's not much hay in front of/stopping the bullet. Best to put two bales end to end and a piece of plywood in between the round bales to show if rounds start making it thru the first bale when you're shooting something like a high...

The X numbered ones are built on the 12ga frame; I bought my wife one not knowing that. When I tried to buy a 26" skeet barrel for it I discovered extra barrels are almost impossible to find. I tried to talk her into letting me sell that one and get her a regular 20ga. But by then she loved...

I bought king size top sheets at the DAV. I think they were $3.

I believe those are Springfield 9mm magazines. A friend bought a like new Springfield that had magazines very similar to those. You might contact Springfield and see what they say.

They ran a worm screw down the barrel expecting to find a ball but all that came out was paper. They kept digging out more paper until a load of shot came out. After the shot more paper came out. After more paper the powder came out. They put a little of the powder in a pile on the driveway...

A friend made a similar display for a Hawken-style rifle he was given by an elderly gentleman going to a nursing home and couldn't take it with him. The gentleman also gave my friend a letter from one of his ancestors written in the later 1800s describing where the family had used to rifle to...

You might be able to "antique" one of these: https://www.replicadungeon.com/western-rifles.html

The Redfield is pretty short so I'll try lows first. I'll make sure there's plenty of eye relief. She's shooting a Model 7 synthetic .308 now and I made sure she had plenty on that one.

Thanks for the reply. I'll go with a Leuplod base and my Redfield, probably also a hammer extension. Do you think I can get by with low rings or should I go medium?

We've come into a Marlin 1895/45-70. My wife intends to use it deer hunting this season and wants a scope on it. I have a 1.5x5 Redfield widefield I could put on it if it will take the recoil. I've had this on other rifles in the 308/30-06 class without problems. Any opinions? I normally...

I thought something was up. And I think this has been in the works for some time. I went a couple close by places Sunday looking for .357 158gr JSP, no luck. So I went out of my way to a WM in a small town I'd bought them from before, 5 boxes I think. They only had 3 boxes. I also noticed...

Might be an aftermarket frame with a USGI slide.

Generally: The big auction houses are only interested in high end/collectible items. I've never gone this route but friends have and the total fees were enormous. On-line auctions usually means you're going to get some of them back during the inspection period from buyers remorse, etc...

How did it get the water damage?
