I found the new model here, it's about $1000 here. We get screwed on goods from the US and I can't easily import a rifle scope to Canada, you need a lot of paperwork and paying duties.
Most gun related stuff seems expensive lately. Just sold a hex reciever mosin for about 500usd. I got it for a fraction of that years ago.
Most of the ones I saw were made in China though and I wanted American made. I also had the problem that many newer ones are 30mm tubes but my scope...
I bought a used Leupold Vari-X iii 6.5-20x40 scope that is from 1982. The seller made a mistake on the model of scope and I thought i was buying a VX-iii scope from early 2000's. Is this still considered a quality scope? He told me I could return it if I wanted. I'm in a bit of a quandry, he...
i found out someone must have opened up the choke as it measures about .720. so i dont have to worry about shooting slugs. I was surprised as the gun looks original and the barrel is 30" so I doubt its been cut.
I find boxes of buckshot on sale sometimes just need to keep your eyes open. Remington express 00 buckshot was selling here in boxes of 20 for what birdshot can cost.
Your right I'll just leave the gun as is, this way I can safely shoot slugs without worry. I just was curious why the choke was opened up but the consensus seems to be someone probably reamed it open at some point
I recently got a Winchester model 12 made In 1917 with 30" full choke barrel. The barrel has not been cut back. Pattern testing it doesnt seem like full choke and when I measured the choke it's .720 and a dime easily slides in. Is my choke just worn out? My dad has never seen this on a...
I agree with a classic gun like that, no need to shoot steel unless you are duck hunting and that gun wouldn't be suitable anyways. You want a good choke and 3" shells with steel.
the issue isn't usually with steel scoring the barrel but with it bulging it. The pressure is higher will steel especially going through the choke because it doesn't compress like lead, eventually you get a bulge in the barrel before the choke.
I have a Winchester Model 12 that is made in 1917 with a 30" full choke barrel. I know it's only safe to fire lead shot in it but I was wondering if slugs are safe? I have fired slugs through full choke barrels before without issue but those guns were newer. Someone mentioned that full chokes...
That must be a different model then normal. All the norinco 1897 I see here have the short 18.5" barrel. If yours is longer I can see that being full choke.
So this is the loading die I have, is their any way I can expand the case neck to fit .311 bullets? I tried but the case mouth is just far too tight. I also have a similar die for my 303 British rounds if I can use something from that? It seems the case mouth size is set when I hammer it into...
