I recently picked up a very nice 1873 Springfield. It has the buffington rear sight, and when I tighten the locking screw down the slide still moves freely.
Has anyone else had this issue? I dont know if adding a few threads to the screw so it gets pulled in tighter would be the fix or if i...
I believe its British. It has a crown stamp and 1917 on the receiver. Here is a picture of it. I was told it was varnished, but i am not so sure about that. When i took the stock and handguards off there was no signs of varnish or drips or missed spots. If someone did refinish it, they either...
I recently purchased a 1917 SMLE mkIII* and the rear upper handguard has a few cracks and one of the fingers has a clean break. This piece is held onto the barrel by spring clips and i was extremely careful taking it off, but it takes a lot of force. The cracks and break were in the piece when i...
I can say without shooting the .30-30 yet that they are 2 very different guns. The Marlin is definitely the smoother running rifle. The winchester is a slimmer, more streamlined rifle, where as the marlin is a bulkier, more hefty gun.
So far i have not been a fan of the ghost ring sight on the...
I know this is an old thread, sorry, but my uncle stopped by last night and dropped off my Grandfather's model 94. By the serial number it was made in 1951.
I have a very strong feeling this won't be my last lever either
My favorite hunting story is my Grandpa's.
He was hunting with a lever action and a big buck walked in front of him. He shot and missed and the deer stood there. He shot again and it ran a ways and stopped. He proceeded to shoot 7 times at that deer without hitting it, and at one point Grandpa...
Hunting stories do grow in telling, but at least keep it believeable.
A guy at work tried to tell me he shot his first buck though the heart with a 20 gauge single shot as the deer was jumping over him. He was slumped up against a fence post. Same guy tried to tell me he shot a buck with his...
A friend of mine just bought a rough rider but it's not the buntline. It is accurate and functional, but it is not very smooth.
Maybe it needs more of a break in period.
But for the money, it would be unreasonable to expect the quality of an old Colt or a Ruger.
So there's something I didn't think about. I prefer to crimp separate from seating. If I went with a Dillion will I have to use their dies?
Maybe the Hornady would be a better choice for my situation
Can I ask what you like on the Hornady better for short runs?
I am not loyal to any one brand, even though most everything I have right now is Lee. Lee was able to get me started and still have money left over for components.
I had been giving the Dillon thought because a friend of a friend...
I usually load 300 .45 Colt at a time. Depending on when I can get to the inlaws (range) I could go through that in 2weeks or 2 months.
Maybe I am over anticipating my needs.
My budget is preferably under $1000. I think a basic Dillion 650 is $650 at Scheels
So I have been satisfied with my cheap little Lee press until tonight when I resized 300 pieces of .45 Colt brass.
A single stage press is great for low volume rifle reloading but for high volume pistol it's about as efficient as square wheels on a truck.
I started off with the Lee whack a...
I'm not a ballistics expert by any means, but wouldn't barrel length and twist rate have a greater impact on bullet stabilization? Velocity helps flatten the trajectory and how fast the bullet gets to the target.
