    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    Thanks for the info! Ive heard the 1920 rebuilds are typically stamped on the upper barrel by the chamber, but i suppose this is different from a rebuild? could be the case as well.

    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    Correct, i mentioned this in the original posting, that it has the incorrect rear sight. The 30cal goes out to 1000m.

    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    That I’m sure of. They are most definitely aftermarket grips

    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    Thank you for the referral! Good advice. Wouldn’t want to crack the frame from weak springs

    'Red 9' C96 Identification, 1920 rework?

    Hello all, its been a moment since I've posted here, but good to be back. I recently acquired this Mauser c96 'Broomhandle' at auction. It was advertised as a "Red 9" however I knew I was taking a risk that it may not be authentic. Im hoping you all may explain to me what a few things mean, as...

    March Scopes Experiences?

    Recently ordered a March 1-10x24 shorty. I plan to use it on my 30-06 Winchester model 70 Extreme Weather, rather than a tactical application. It seem like a good all around optic. I’ve read great reviews of this scope online. It seems to be the only 1-10 or 1-8 LVPO without any comprise (minus...

    Whitney Revolver Cylinder Gap

    Been a long time since posting! Started a new business which totaled up most of my time, but glad to be back! Recently acquired a rather worn Whitney 2nd model revolver. The cylinder gap is unacceptable, any opinions on tightening it up? Any other general knowledge/tips in regards to the Whitney?

    Pre-Ban Colt AR-15 A2 Govt’ Model

    A friend of mine knows I work with guns often. He brought a rifle to me to modify and make ‘tactical’. The rifle in question is a Pre-Ban colt AR-15 A2 Govt’ Model. I told him no way, I am not modifying this piece of history. I am going to offer to to buy it from him, and simply do a build...

    Dual Code BCD BNZ Mauser K98

    Not long ago I acquired this Mauser. I have done an extensive amount of research but even so I cannot find everything on the internet. I know dual codes are not very common. Any additional information would be helpful. This was started in the Gustloff factory BCD, and finished in the Steyr...

    Firing the Reid Knuckle Duster

    I know what you’re thinking, it doesn’t matter if he fired five or fired six.... it’s a .22 short.

    Firing the Reid Knuckle Duster

    To kick in the New Year, I tightened the mainspring on this Reid knuckle Duster. I picked it up a few weeks ago at auction. Now she is in firing condition! I loaded some rounds with the .22 short bullets pulled and only the primers left in (otherwise I would not be firing it into the dark)...

    What's a shot group?

    Agreed. I had an ultra light hunting rifle that would not group above two rounds. The third usually opened the group. However the cold bore shot and second shot would consistently land next to each other touching. For practical purposes, it grouped amazingly

    Winchester 1887 pressures

    I wasn’t able to find pressures on RSTs website. I only know they are frequently used in older guns. Wanted to see if anyone had much experience with them. I was able to find on another forum they ran 4300psi average, but that is hearsay, and not confirmed

    Hilarious ammo price of the week

    $550 for 8lb of IMR4350.... and that was a no reserve auction on gb with multiple bids....

    Winchester 1887 pressures

    Picked up a new lovely lady the other day. I would really like to take her to the sporting clays course. This 1887 was made in 1890, chambered in 12ga. The gun was made with black powder loads in mind, but does have a fluid steel barrel. Currently I shoot 2.5” RST ultra-lite in my old sxs box...

    A Modern Take on a Bolt Action Hunting Rifle

    It’s the strike eagle 1-8. It’s a great optic for the money. It’s two downfalls compared to higher end optics is eye relief, and brightness. But it’s still very adequate. The coarse reticle is great for the woods however.

    A Modern Take on a Bolt Action Hunting Rifle

    I just posted about a build I did not long ago. LVPO seems the best rout to go to me. This is a 1-8 power scope

    Do-all rifle got a new pair of sights!

    I agree, that’s why I went with the 1-8 power scope. As well the leupold quick detach rings have a return to zero within 1/2 moa which I’ve found to be true. That way I can fiddle around, and only worry about a 1.5” difference at 300 yards. thank you I appreciate that. I remember seeing your...
