    New longer range build

    Ive had this rifle for a few years, and it’s changed dramatically a few times. It started out as a DelTon 308 carbine, but it’s come a long way since then. Barrel is now a Ballistic Advantage 18” mid gas 1-10 with JAL linear compensator. It also includes an Aero upper and 13.5” free float...

    Taurus Tracker 45 Colt

    Recently got this 45 Colt 5 shot Tracker as part of a trade. Have never heard of this model, and I’d appreciate opinions from actual owners. I know it’s not as strong as my 45 Colt Rugers, and don’t expect it to be. I’ll be using it for a lightweight woods carry gun, and standard 45 Colt...

    Ruger Redhawk 45 convertible

    Picked up this Redhawk 45 Colt/45 ACP convertible a few days ago. Been looking for this particular model for awhile, and a good friend found it for me. It’s a brute of a revolver, and a hoot with the Ruger only 45 Colt loads.

    Savage manufactured Lee Enfield

    Picked up this 1942 dated, Savage manufactured no4 mk1 last weekend. It’s numbers matching, and U.S. property marked. Shot it a few times, and it’s pretty accurate considering my old eyes and open sights!

    GP100

    Traded a budget AR today for this 6” GP100. I started shooting revolvers when I was young, and still love them. Auto pistols have their place, but there’s nothing like a powerful revolvers ignition.

    Picked up this SKS today

    Bought this Norinco SKS today at a gun show. It’s numbers matching except for the magazine, which I figured had been changed to a high cap at some time, and changed back by someone who values the ergonomics Simonov designed. Took it apart, and there’s almost no wear. Firing pin channel is...

    Mosin rusted action bolts

    91 30 has rusted action bolts. What’s the best way to remove them? I’ve got them soaking in WD40, but don’t know if that will work.

    Gun show find

    Went to the Dixie gun show in Raleigh,NC last weekend, and found this 1942 91/30. Actually bought it because of the laminated stock, but discovered it was matching numbers when I got it home. I remember when you could buy these rifles for $50-$60 a few years ago. This one was $250; times have...

    Old Friend Returns

    In 2012, I was out of work 14 months due to back injury. Eventually, I had to sell a few guns to make ends meet. The one I hated selling most was my Kimber Stainless Target 45 that had been massaged by the Kimber custom shop. I told the buyer my situation, and asked for first chance if he...

    Yugo Tokarev M57

    Picked up this M57 from a gun show Saturday. It’s in like new condition, and shoots well. I’ve wanted a pistol in 7.62x25 for awhile, and I’m happy with it. This thing does throw a fireball!!

    Luck find!

    Today, I picked up this no. 4 mk II Lee Enfield. It’s like new and unfired, still has cosmoline inside. From what I’ve discovered so far, it was made around 1955, and imported in the mid to late 90’s. If anyone has more info on this rifle, I’d really appreciate it.

    Side discharge versus linear muzzle brakes

    Which one makes the most difference in recoil? I chose the Kaw Valley linear for my 450 Bushmaster AR build because of the extra noise of the side discharge. How many of you have tried both, and what are your thoughts?

    Scoping an 1891 Argentine Mauser

    My 1891 Mauser was sporterized many years ago, and was fitted with Williams peep sights. I’m thinking of having it drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and finding a vintage scope to use, keeping it’s 60’s period look What mounts do I need? I’ve heard any small ring mounts will work, but...

    1891 Mauser Sporter

    I recently pick up this sporterized 1891 Argentine Mauser. It has Williams sights, 22” cut and crowned barrel, and a Fagen walnut Monte Carlo stock. It’s still in the original 7.65x53 caliber. Whoever did the work on this rifle was a true craftsman. Wood to metal fit is great, and the...

    Reloading 7.65x53 Mauser

    I’m getting an Argentine 1891 Mauser in 7.65x53 this week. It was nicely(?)sporterized a long time ago, probably in the 50’s or 60’s. I’ll reload for it as I do for everything else I have. It’s not a common caliber, so I’d appreciate any data you may have.
