Great, thanks for the information and correction! Owen

thanks! Yeah, that does help. because the serial numbers didn't seem to be lining up with what everything I had seen seemed to be telling me, I assumed it was older than that. Why do you think that it was made in the 1970's? Because Remington had shares in that company going way back to...

Hey, My Dad has an old shotgun that was in his house when he bought it back in the mid 80's. Its a single shot break action Remington model 812. it has on the left side of the barrel "Remington Arms Co. Inc. made in brazil" underneath the receiver, just ahead of the trigger guard...

Ok, so I know this has been discussed before but I couldnt' seem to find it in the search. Im thinking about buying a new rifle. I want something that I can hunt with(bigger game moose bear etc) but it also will double for some longer range target shooting.(probably up to 400yards for...

Yes, I am using a starting load. and the gun is a '62 winchester 94 The bore was clean when I started. I will try some lighter loads and see if I can get accuracy to improve. How do I know what the "right" powder is. In the book I have it lists a number of different powders for each bullet...

Hey everyone, I am just getting into reloading and have been trying some lead bullets for my 30-30. They are 170 grain at a standard load. I tried shooting a few tonight at 50 yard and they are all over the place. Most of the time they don't even hit the target, I am not an incredable...

Hey everyone, I am looking at getting back into knife making. I am hoping to combine hand forging and grinding methods. From some reading I have been doing a number of people seem to recomend the Bader BM2 belt sander. But I can't seem to find anyplace to purchase such a beast. Anyone...

Ok, so with all the mixed advice about the Norinco's I am looking over my options. I have come across a Mossberg. I think its a Flyaway model. But I am not sure exactly. I like the feel of it, seems ok, but the pump almost seems loose. I can take my hand and without much force twist it a...

Hey everybody, So I am looking at getting another shotgun for hunting. Something I can put chokes in. A local gunshop that I like to support has a Norinco "870" in stock right now. They want $449 for it. He said he has sold a lot of them to avid hunters in the past and has never heard a...

Hey everybody, I have a Escort Marine Guard with a folding stock which I love. Mainly bought for home defence, but have been getting into hunting this year and would like to use it in the future. Can't really affort to buy another shotgun right now so I was wondering if I could thread(or...

Hey everybody, I am hunting whitetails up here in eastern Canada for the first time this year. I have been out for some time every evening and most of one saturday, unfortunantly I have only seen a couple does and jumped one that is unidentified. I know the woods pretty good, and can move...

ok, so maybe this isn't reallly a hunting post. But I seem to be running across a few skunks around my house, getting into the garbage, things like that. Not wanting to get sprayed I have left them alone and done preventative measures for the garbage. But it got me to thinking, is it possible...

The stock was both a selling point for me, but I also questioned it as a goose gun because of it. I have shot it a couple times, I find the stock very comfortable actually, more comfortable than some of my rifles. But I am sure more shooting in needed before I come to a conclusion. I am...

Greetings, Today I went to a gunshow. I went intending to by a rifle. But as the rifle I wanted was a little out of my price range, and I woke up this morning to the sound of geese flying within a stones throw of my bedroom window I ended up buying a shotgun. Which is very odd for me...

Hey folks, Ok, I am thinking about expanding my very small collection of rifles. Next on my list is a varmint gun. I was thinking 22-250? That or .223. 22-250 was recomended to me simply because of the better performance at longer ranges. Comments? What would you guys recomend...

Well, I finished cleaning and refinishing the stock. This morning I tried it out. It took a .22 lr just fine and fired. So i guess thats what it is. I'll probably shoot it some more tonight just to make sure everything is working good. It is missing the front sight though. I will have to...

Ok, thanks guys, i will see if i can get some pictures of it over the next few days. I am working on cleaning it up now. I will probably refinish the stock in the end. I don't think its worth much, and I would rather have a nice looking firearm sitting around than one in original beat up...

Greetings, I was given what appeared to be an old single shot bolt action .22 But when I took it apart and cleaned it up to see what markings it had on it I found this information. J.G.A Zella-Mehilis Germany on the top of the barrell. Near the bolt it had a double circle wth JGA inside...

Greetings, I am just starting to seriously get into guns and the study of them. I am looking at the Winchester 94 trapper. Probably won't be my first purchase, but will be considered in the future. I am curious about the various load options. 30-30, .44, .45 colt, 357 mag. I am...

katar Greetings, Actually that sort of resembles a real weapon. Though historicaly it only had one blade. Though some have been found that had two smaller blades that could pop out of the side of the main blade. nasty if it was stuck in you at the time. Its called a Katar. It is an...
