Found a sporterized 1917! Blue is deep, rifle is 5 groove button drilled, wings removed professionally, cartouche's abound! Love the flaming bomb! Heavy as heck! I don't need it and I have several other 30-06's, but knowing this was issued and carried before its transformation thrills me...

Who else has one? I got mine from the S.F. Gun exchange @ 15 years back. I was going to make a .260 Rem out of a Sako action I had bought from them and was selecting components when they said a nice 6.5-06 had been traded in and would I be interested? It's a Remington 700 with a SS Hart...

Just picked this up yesterday. It's a 1972 FN Mauser made for Browning in 30-06 caliber. It's one of the salt stock versions, so I have some work ahead of me. I plan to relieve the forend to free float the barrel and glass bed it. I might even replace the butt pad with something modern and...

Old Belgian Browning 30-06 I had one fall in my lap today. This rifle has to be pre 60, but I didn't get the S/N, so I'll have to wait for the California waiting period until I get to look up the born on date. Long action, Mauser claw (long), 3 position safety and controlled ejection. The...

I got tasked to either buy or make some for .45LC to be used in a show. Does anybody know where I might find some or in lieu of that, how to make them? I heard something about the green foam used by florists as a cap, but all-in-all, I'd much rather buy them than make them. Thanks. :)

I have a cherry 740 in 30-06 dating back to 1955. What bullet and powder combos would you suggest? My bolt gun likes IMR 4350 and a 165g Nosler BT but it isn't too good in the 740, so I ordered some IMR 4064 and some 150g SP and SPBT to try. What is your experience with a 30-06 autoloader...

Living in California, I had to wait 10 long days to pick it up, but yesterday I was the happy recipient of a new/old Mini 30. I did the S/N check and it is an early 1989 blued version - sweet! I was standing at the counter at my local gun pusher, regaling him with wistful dreams of finding an...

I recently bought a Pro Hunter 3 for use on my Mini 30. I had second thoughts and redirected it to the top of my 10/22 since I had heard the recoil of a Mini 30 would be too much for it. Fortunately I have a Leupold Vari-X II 2 X 7, so I mounted that on the Mini 30. In your experience...

I was in the right place at the right time when one got traded in at the old S.F. Gun Exchange @ 15 years back. Mine is a Remington 700 with a Hart SS competition barrel. I was told it has a twist of something like 1 in 9" and wasn't good for heavy bullets. Shoots 120g Ballistic Tips pretty...
