    Fell Into My Lap - Mauser in 338-06

    Local ad popped up, price seemed way low to me, so I snagged it. 1940-1941 Mauser in 338-06. My gunsmith remembered working on it 20 years ago and gave it a thumb's up.

    Impulse Buy: 338-06...School Me

    I don't hunt and other than paper punching I have no practical use for this gun. HOWEVER, I could not pass it up for the price. Came with powder, dies, brass, bullets, and a box of Weatherby ammo. 1940-1941 Mauser converted to 338-06. (I added a budget scope I had laying around)...

    Colt Python NIB - Clean or No?

    Bought this today. After taking it from the plastic bag, it appears to have some kind of oil/protectant on it, like "cosmoline light". Difficult for me to keep from wiping it down, but should I leave it "as is" from the factory? I don't plan to shoot it. What say the expert...

    Dad Passed On - Knife Values?

    Laid him to rest with a military honors funeral last weekend. The old B-17 pilot made his last departure from this dusty field. He passed down two knives to me. These two never got hunted, just displayed on the mantle for decades. Any idea what they might be worth? Probably not...

    Help: Taurus .22 Revolver Springs?

    I teach new/beginners to shoot handguns. (Yes, I'm NRA certified.) No CHL, personal defense, just how to shoot safely and confidently. Some of my older/physically challenged new shooters are best served with a .22 WMR revolver. I just bought a M941 and polished all the inner contact...

    50 YR Old Rimfire at the Range

    Just for something to do, I added a scope mount and a Mueller I had laying around. Loaded it with Wolf Match Target just to see how the 50 year old "Revelation 120" (early Marlin model 99) shot. Much to my surprise.....:eek:

    Sbr + acog ftw

    had no idea it was this good TA31RCOM4 4x32 USMC (but doesn't work well as with prescription lenses) I called Trijicon and asked about its lack of a focus adjustment and the tech gave me a straight answer: "It was designed for young soldiers with good eyesight and those needing...

    Please Help: Scope Mount on Vintage Marlin

    My dad's Marlin 99 .22 rifle has been handed down to me, and I plan to keep shooting it like he did for nearly 50 years. It's drilled and tapped, but what kind of scope mount will work on it? There is no groove on the top of the receiver. (I know there were mounts for it, and I've seen...

    Subbie Score - Couldn't Pass It Up

    You know how it goes. Local guy listed a Smith snubbie. Noticed it had a flat latch. Some hooplehead had refin'ed it with Cerakote. Someone tried removing it and gave up. I learned to polish and spent about 8 hours taking it back to the nickle (without removing the nickle...that's...

    It Took A While To Settle Down

    ....but after buying and selling and trading and swapping and carrying..... It appears the 9mm Commander in an Adams Leather pancake is going to fill the bill for, at least, another few years. Why you say? Or even if you didn't say. 1. I can shoot it well and with confidence. 2. Runs...

    FINALLY - Plenty of .22

    I run 40gr roundnose MiniMags in my match gun, Marvel 1911 conversion kit, and in my training guns. So, I shoot a lot of it. By getting to Academy and Gander for months two hours before the doors open and by swapping and trading other bulk .22 ammo, I'm finally stocked up to where I was two...
