I'm going to be replacing the front sight on my 1961 model 94 Winchester. It has a bead sight under a removable hood and a Lyman peep for the rear. I want to replace the front sight with a partridge style, I've seen the Skinner sights, any other recommendations? As it is now the rear sight is...

It's that time of year, rooting through the hunting gear starts the mind running. During the spring and early summer I mounted a scope to my muzzle loader. It shot well... But it's totally impractical for actually hunting. I can't use the primer tool so..... Off it comes and a peep is going on...

I load for Pop's P-14 Enfield in 303 British. What I normally load for it is 180 gr sierra pro hunters, over 43.7gr of blc(2). It's about as close to a tack driver as 105 mil surp will get. It's about a legit 1" @100 in Rifle with that load.. The bullets are hard to come by right now in 303 I...

Good evening all, wanted to share some good results from the range. I'll start off with my old friend, my 94 win in 30/30. A few years back I settled in on a load it shot well. It's a favorite, goes to the range with me every time, but never sees a lot of rounds through it since it heats up so...

Good evening all, range day today and here is where we landed. I tested zero on the Spanish Mauser with surplus ammo and proved it , moved on to the reloads. Seems like every other load shot well.well. in one regard nothing shot awful, best was a smidge over an inch worst about 3. . I'll load...

Hello, I have a 1961 model 94 20" barrel and Williams receiver peep sight that has a silver bead front sight. I have trouble with the front bead on this rifle. Had it for years love it except the front sight. I was taught with post/partridge sights and just can't bring myself to cover the target...

Everyone I know has got at least one piece of gear they are looking to replace every year,worn out, fed up, doesn't fit whatever the reason seems like nearly every year something has got to go. For me, its gloves.. I have yet to find a set of gloves that I've been even remotely satisfied in...

This past weekend, my father,my son and I went fishing on the beach in brigantine nj, water was dirty with seagrass and the wind was howling, got skunked. It got me thinking of trips with my parents, and family over the years and all the great times we had. The trip down memory lane got the...

Good evening all, just wanted to share a seemingly straight forward repair and an oddity. The gun. M1916 Spanish mauser in 308 win The symptoms. When the first round is loaded in the magazine it "pops out" won't stay put. Last round occasionally doesn't engage the claw on the bolt, won't...

I have been using Norma 201 almost exclusively for my 30-30 win for a number of years. I started reloading during the crunch about 8 years ago and ended up using 201 Norma in the 30-30 cause that's what I could get my hands on. I found it to be consistent, very clean burning and produces very...

Good afternoon all, late season muzzle loader hunting starts Monday for me, and as tradition dictates it will be bitterly cold ,possible snow showers. Is it a good idea to tape the muzzle and try to keep any excess moisture out? It's a traditions "bolt" with a breechplug and musket cap primer. I...

Good morning ladies and gents. In jersey we are allowed to hunt over bait. I will be hunting late January. How long do the mineral attractant bricks need to be out to be effective, never really used them in the past. Heres what I'm looking at, buck week in jersey is the week after next. I've...

I have settled in on a load pops P14 Enfield (circa late 1915 eddystone built) likes. Current load is 43.7 gr blc(2) behind 180gr sierra pro hunter velocity avgs 2460 fps. It's putting out 1- 1.5" groups at 100 yds. Very happy with the results thus far, easily shoots these much better than any...

Hello fellows and ladies if applicable. I'm building a CVA Kentucky rifle kit, it's an older one made by the Spanish Company Jukar. Other than needing a few odds and ends which seem readily available it's ready to go together. Here is what I'm unsure of, The wood stock is totally unfinished...

My Father-in-law gave me his Traditions Lightning bolt .50 cal Muzzle loader. He gave up hunting a few years ago, and was kind enough to pass it along to me. Other than knowing It was accurate, it's stainless, it's got decent balance, fiber optic sights and a clean bore I know nothing about...

Deer season isn't until December down here in jersey, but darn it I'm amped up already. I missed the season last year while recovering from shoulder surgery, and I'm antsy already. I made a pig of myself on off season glove sales, and picked up some new shirts, picked up a new stool,made sure...

hello ladies and gents. I got out to do my first real extensive testing of my reloading hobby yesterday. A few months back I did a quick test, and loaded a bunch of a promising batch. I quickly realized that I had a problem seeing the 1" orange bull on the black 12" shoot-n-see targets. I...

After a nearly year long hiatis from shooting I got back to the range yesterday. Spent 95% of the time teaching my wife how to shoot at the handgun range, but before I left I fired off the first of my 30/30 reloads. My model 94 project turned out fantastic to look at and the action feels...

My winter project is refinishing my Mossberg 500 stock, theres not a thing wrong with it, other than I need something to do and I know I can make it look better. Its lonely about 3 years old and still in good shape. The issue I'm running across is the strippers I've used have no effect. They...

The wifey just picked one up this weekend. It's gonna be a few weeks before we get some range time but I field stripped it and cleaned the gook out of it, So far i'm pretty impressed. What drew her to it was the weight, I have a mkII and it was "too heavy" for her. She handled a series of other...
