Parts, stocks, screws, slings, bayonets I have a general idea of where to get them. I've got bookmarks and am a pretty good web sleuth however trying to find a place to buy a Mauser Action seems to elude me for some reason. Long story short I always had this idea of building a new Mauser...

It was an impulse buy really. I don't need yet another gun, don't have enough room for the ones I have but it intrigued me as I read about it and did some research. Plus I hadn't really heard of them beforehand but I do fully enjoy my K31 so I figured "Why not?" It arrived today from...

I can honestly say I'm extremely lucky with people in my life. I've got far more guns then I know what to do with and the fact that I've probably bought less then half of them doesn't allow me to feel too bad about it lol. This one was a birthday present this year by a friend who "didn't...

Well recently I've been reading up on black powder shooting, cap and ball revolvers mainly. So far my only Blackpowder experience is in some .45-70 reloads for a family heirloom Springfield Trapdoor and a few shots from a 3 band Enfield at the range from a gentleman who wanted to shoot my...

I've seen some collections come and go, but the sheer number of rare and prototype weapons on this list has me absolutely drooling all over my keyboard. What I wouldn't give for some of those Mausers. I know some will probably go for a pretty penny, but anyone with some extra cash looking...

Slowly but surely I've been attempting to round out my collection and branch out a bit from just Military Surplus rifles. I've got my shotguns, my .22's my military history. Picked up my first intermediate caliber rifle, I've got my extreme long range gun in .338 Lapua. But I don't have the...

Well I hadn't bought a gun in awhile and I'd been looking for a decent semi-auto just to offset all the bolt actions I have. AK styles never really piqued my interest but SKS was always a little interesting. A gun that never got a chance due to the AK really. So I updated my C&R license...

Well, another gun came home with me today. Think this makes number... 5 or 6 that have been given to me by friends and friends of friends who just don't want to deal with them anymore. Last ones that came home with me in that way were a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington, Ithaca Lever Action .22 and...

Friend of mine brought in his Remington Model 742 to take a look at. Wasn't feeding after firing turning it from semi-auto into a glorified bolt action. Gas plug was gummed up so fixed that, but as I was looking at it, I noticed the scope. I love the oddball stuff so this scope really...

Long story short, step dad called me up, said he bought a Bushmaster. Here I'm thinking "Cool, not what I would have bought, and certainly not his usual style of firearm" he makes his own blackpowder and kentucky flint lock rifles. Fondness for Curly Maple that he buys, then makes the stock...

Quite awhile ago I posted about a Savage 110ba I had picked up in .338 Lapua and it's failure to extract issues. After multiple different brands of ammo and a bit of drama after trying to get a local UPS store to ship it back, finally got it in for warranty work and back in my possession...

Last week I picked up a Savage 110ba in .338 Lapua magnum. Managed to borrow a scope and bipod from a shooting buddy and set her up for her first day at the range. Took the Mosin 91/30 with PU Scope and my new Savage. Grabbed a box of Hornady .338 Lapua HPBT and set off to fire my first...

I've been shooting surplus rifles for the past 10 years, collecting and working on them since I got the bug back when I was 16. Always a sense of pride in my shooting when I outshot some Remchester EleventyFourHundred at the range with my K98, Mosin, or K31. Lately I've been finding myself...

Well, I broke down and bought my first truly new rifle. All of my other guns this far have been hand me downs or surplus purchases. Went into the gun store with the intention of buying a CETME or HK G3 clone or possibly a Garand... After a brief temptation to pick up the M14 with national...

Alternate Thread title: I'm an idiot who should just leave well enough alone. Long story short I found a series of Surplus ammunition that my 1923 Mosin Nagant with PU scope loves. Blew out the X-ring at 100 yards on Sunday. It was snowing and about 24 degrees so I figure I'd take her out...

Been out hunting locally since Thanksgiving, opting to stay close to home this year as opposed to going far north and camping out like I usually do. Wake up, trudge to my spot, watch a doe pass by once or twice, then nothing. Went on like that until today when instead of the doe I see a decent...

Evening all, been sitting here wracking my brain on this one. Typing helps me think at times and thought this would be the best place. My friend/shooting buddy has been coming to the range with me more often after I got him involved in the sport again. Prior to last month he hadn't shot...

First off, let me apologize. I had no idea if I should have put this in Blackpowder Shooting, Realoading or here... So if it's deemed that it would be better in one of them, let me know so I can ask a mod to move it lol. Anyhow, on to the rifle. It's an 1884 Springfield Trapdoor, one on...

About a year ago at a gunshow I was on the hunt for a decent, walnut stock K-31. Was at a gunshow way up the line (4 hour drive just to get there) and saw a table with 3 of them for sale. Managed to leave with the rifle and one battlepack of ammo for a grand total of $175. $125 for the rifle...

I'd want it to tell me where else there are guns hidden. My house is old, built in the later 1800's by my great, great, great, great, grandfather (probably an extra great in there) One of the first houses in the town. It's been a mixed blessing for me while I was growing up, couldn't do...
