    Adjustable Trigger with Safety on Mauser

    I have a commercial Mauser with an adjustable trigger with safety. It allows the bolt to be opened and closed with the safety on. However, I have noticed that you cannot put the safety on when the gun is not cocked. Moreover, if I shoot, and attempt to put the safety on without working the...

    Buying Ammo Online

    I see repeated on this forum a common refrain, "I would like to own/recommend caliber X, but I never see ammo for it on the shelf." Finding ammo online is usually easier than finding my keys and wallet, much less driving to a store and paying for gas. Is buying ammo online illegal in...

    1:48 Twist throwing curve balls

    Or maybe screw balls. I spent 3 hours at the range working with my Lyman Trade Rifle. I had ran out of BP earlier this year, and got 3 more pounds of GOEX FF. I wanted to check my zero, just in case this lot was different from the batch I had bought 2 years before. I started at 25 yards...

    Loosing of hunting ground, loosing of interest.

    I have hunted the same out of state property for the last 23 seasons. There have been other hunts in other locations overlapping this farm, but opening day, has been in the same place all those years. I found out, just before the season started, that this year is likely the last on this...

    Lyman 57 SML Receiver Sight

    For this deer season, I pulled the trigger on an ?upgrade? that has tempted me for a number of years, a 57 SML sight for my Lyman trade rifle. After mounting it the first weekend in October, I ran into a snag. The darn thing is so ugly on the gun, I have not even taken the gun to the range...

    Boyds: Good money after bad, ARRRGH!

    Ordered a Boyds JRS Classic Laminate for an M48 Yugo a while back from Midway. Came in what appeared to be a sealed Boyds box; had cosmetic damage and was return for, gulp, another. The second had similar (but lesser in amount) damage, so I kept it. After 24 rounds of 185 grain bullets...

    What is the recipe for conical accuracy from a 1:48 barrel?

    I have a Lyman Trade Rifle in 54 caliber and a 28" barrel in the aforementioned twist. I have a Lee REAL single cavity mould (300 gr) thinking that the smaller (shorter) ball would be better stabilized from the bastard twist, but minute of deer accuracy is about as good as it gets. I never...
