    Model 94 Magazine Spring Question...

    Recently finished putting back together a Model 94 Ranger (nothing special about it) that came to me in a box, with just the complete receiver, magazine tube, crushed magazine spring and a few other odds and ends... but the price was right. Picked up a universal length spring from MGW, counted...

    Remington 7600 Barrel Swap..?

    Howdy, Picked up a 7600 with the 22" barrel via GB with the plan to have it cut down to carbine length...after finally realizing that until/if the new Remington ever gets the 7600 line running again, the used factory carbines are just too rich for my blood. However, now that I have it...

    Grinding action bolts...

    So, I'm clearly ignorant on the topic, but I'm a nice guy, willing to learn and happy to thank anyone that offers to help... having said that: Received my Mcmillan drop in for my Win M70 this week, and the action screws/bolts are a bit long... have read on different forums to "just grind them...

    Steyr Scout

    Anybody know if the current, standard Steyr Scout (not the Swarovski package, etc) ships with rings? I'm guessing not, but having trouble finding it in print either way. Thanks in advance for your time.

    CMP New England Games

    Proud owner of a “new” 03-A3 and happened to see the CMP match coming to Vermont; former 11b but not a CMP member, or a particularly skilled shooter but curious about attending the match if for no other reason than to learn more about the rifle. Is the match a friendly place for someone new...

    Smith Corona 03A3

    Picked her up at the LGS yesterday... the receiver, bolt and barrel all seem to be SC; it is pinned, with a good bore, etc... Have read a bunch on the web regarding parkerization vs bluing on the A3 with colors described as black, olive drab and so on.. this rifle seems to have all of those...

    Blackhawk 50th Anniversary

    Howdy, Picked up a 50th Anniversary Blackhawk in .357 today; have come across a few things on the web concerning the grip housing being different (steel vs aluminum) and I was wondering if replacement grips would be different? My first single action, was looking for a "companion" for my...

    Rifle Retirement

    So last deer season was the first time I actually felt bad carrying the ol' 600 in the field; I spent time wiping the sleet, rain, snow off of it rather than actually keeping my head up as I still hunted. No family connection behind it (bought it a few years ago), not thinking I can put it...

    Got Burned Today...

    Picked up a Model 94 Compact in .357 (? didn't say "Trapper" on the barrel) used at the LGS. Had some ugly Ramline furniture on it, so I thought I was getting a deal.. have an old 94 Ranger with nice wood that I was going to swap out. Anywho, got her home, put a couple rounds down range...

    Current Marlin Build Quality

    Howdy, Have always wanted an 1895 Guide series, large lever loop, 45-70, etc.. figure it will be a nice rifle for the woods here in Vermont. Wondering with the past, well documented quality issues following their move to Ilion, has anyone purchased an 1895 that has been built recently...

    NY State Compliant AR Platform

    Sooo.. Happen to live in Vermont, and found myself across the lake (Champlain) today and happened to stop into the Plattsburgh Gander Mountain... Saw what I think are the NY compliant ARs on the display rack. Wow. Talk about form and function. Not looking to rehash obvious arguments...

    Winchester M70 Classic Compact

    Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section... Picked up a used Classic Compact in .308 today; nice little rifle. Looking to add a Pachmar decelerator and the choices on their site are either M70 Classic or M70 Featherweight; I'm not sure which one to choose, based on the rifle...

    Installing replacement hood for front sight

    Howdy, Picked up a hood to replace the one that was missing on the front sight of my BAR. I see how it goes on (grooves on the side of the ramp) but the size of the gap on the hood and the width of the ramp are different enough that it looks like a fair amount of force is going to be...

    Browning BAR 30-06 Carbine...?

    Howdy, Happened to see a BAR "carbine" in 30-06 at the local gun shop today... asked the owner about it and he claimed that Browning made a carbine model in the caliber for two years, which caused the two old timers to start arguing that they never did such a thing and the barrel had to have...

    Older Rifle/Optics question

    Alrighty.. Recently picked up a Remington 600 (non-Mohawk) from the local gun guys here in town; after finding out about the trigger recall (and having the rifle dry fire after taking it off safe and touching the bolt handle) I sent it back to Remington to have the trigger/safey recall done...
