    S&W Walther PPK

    :fire:Does anyone know if the same company that manufactured the Interarms guns still make the "S&W" Walther PPK. I was under the impression at one time the Walther was made in the US under licence and distributed by Interarms and that S&W was merely the current distributor. I just took my NIB...

    Help Old dog cant see

    I have a 6.5 mm Swede M38 that is in very good condition. I want to shoot the 6.5mm but I cant see well enough with the iron sights. Does anyone know of a scope base that will fit this particular gun? The bolt handle is bent but looks like it might require a med to high ring set up. A NO...

    Mosin Nagant M39 Finland Rifle

    Get the M39 while you can There are 4 issues. Sako, sky, vkt, and sneaks. The sneaks is a late production gun I believe in the 60s after they supposedly were no longer made. They all are quality and accurate. The m39 has won world championship rifle matches- back then. Nevertheless, they...

    It blew up!

    I have been reloading 30 years - shooting for an additional 20 more. In tens of thousands of rounds I have never had catastrophic case failure. Let me say it was not a reload. It was a factory round! I had been shooting several guns and switched to a 17 HM2 ruger. I fired about 7 or 8...

    Advise with Encore calibur

    The Purpose of calibur What got me started was EABCO and their claims for the 6.5 BRM in both Encore and the 97D rifle as far as being sub-moa guns. Businesses are bought out, close up etc. I want a supply of brass. The 6.5 BRM is a modified 30-30 but not something a ordinary reloader can do...

    Advise with Encore calibur

    I have recently aquired a Encore in 45-70 and am looking for a second chambering. There are so many more than there used to be. I considered the 6.5 BRM but brass is only made by eabco and no one else. I am thinking of 6.5 Swiss or 7-08 or 270. Something in that power range. Most important...

    winchester 94 pre 64

    It should have a metal butt plate if it is a pre 64. At least my does which was made in 1954. I have seen them going for $800 to $1000 at gun shows and shops.

    Hedging your bets against a possible new AWB

    Easy choice. The ubiquitous Kalashnikov with a milled reciever. A ton of Russian ammo and a couple dozen mags.

    How unlucky or stupid can you be?

    Stupid instead of unlucky. Not the Encore Your suggestions put me on the right track. Being somewhat cautious about the recoil of the famed 45-70 I started with the Lyman starting load for the trapdoor. They publish loads for the trapdoor, the Marlin and the Ruger No 1. I moved to the...

    How unlucky or stupid can you be?

    All I heard before I got my Encore was how accurate they are. Now that I have one all I hear is how they are infested with problems that destroy accuracy and TC wont really help. Mine is shooting 18 inches high at 25 yards with the iron sights fully lowered. If TC is going to sell the 45-70...

    Need advise with Encore in 45-70

    Just got a new Encore. Barrel has adjustable sights. I loaded some cartridges with 405 grain Montanna Precision swaged bullets at 1450 feet per second.. I was hoping for a mild target load. With the factory iron sights set at the lowest position the point of impact is an incredible 18...

    45-70 accuracy

    Can anyone tell me if the 45-70 in a Encore rifle is capable of MOA? I am considering if it will produce Moa accuracy.
