Hello, I'm picking up a Model 10-5 next week from a PPT. It has a 4" standard "pencil" barrel and is in pretty nice shape. The previous owner told me it was made in 1975 and he bought it used about 4 years ago. Although I've shot many a wheelgun over the years, I've only owned one before: a...

I recently picked up a "Three Screw" Ruger Single Six and had a chance to shoot it last week. It keyholed at 7 yards, and it was like a shotgun pattern. I shot 24 shots just to see if the problem would go away but it didn't. While there is some muzzle wear, I didn't think it should shoot that...

I was at the shooting range testing a couple of my rifles and the guy next to me was shooting a double-barreled 8 gauge. It was the first time I'd seen one in person, and he was shooting both black powder and smokeless powder. The cartridges were brass and loaded with a single lead ball. From...

I've never gone hunting before, but since I am a regular at my local rifle range, I've been fortunate enough to have met a lot of friendly shooters. Many of them hunt at least a couple times a year. Last month I passed the test and received my Hunter Safety Certificate so IINM all I need a...

I just received my Hunter Safety Certificate and so a friend of mine knew I needed a big game hunting rifle (I've already got a CZ 452 in .22lr and a Savage 10FP in .223 rem). While picking up his new Remington 700 CDL, he saw a rifle he thought I might be interested in. To make a long story...

I was recently fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to shoot some Tannerite :) . I used to think "It sounds like fun, but sheesh, talk about turning money into noise. . . " Well, after setting off my first charge, I gotta say I'm hooked! :D It turned shooting my AR into a whole new...

Along with a few of the other forum members, I'm organizing a THR shoot at San Gabriel Valley Gun Club at 12 noon on Sunday, 1-8-06. This range has been open for about 50 years and may be closed sometime in 2006, so we want to get in as many shoots here as possible before it's gone forever :( ...

I caught a hunting show called "Under Wild Skies" on ESPN late one night and though I've never hunted before, I decided to watch to see if I could learn anything useful. I'm unfamiliar with the show, not being a regular viewer, but it seems this particular episode was in Africa, where the hosts...

Hello, one of my shooting buddies has got "the hots" for a German Mauser K98 but he's got cold feet. So I'm starting this thread to help him decide :evil: (BTW, he's a member of this forum). So, what's your favorite Mauser? You can be as specific or general as you like in your answer...

I just received this SVT-40 from fellow forum member Wildalaska and it looks like a very interesting rifle. It's a Russian rifle circa WWII and since I've already got M1 Garand, MN 91/30, Finnish M39, and No. 4 MK I, why not add another WWII rifle to the stable? Haven't shot it yet, but...

Just got my USGI M1 Garand from the CMP today! CMP South got my order on 7-22-04 and shipped it yesterday (7-29-04) Fed Ex overnight. I got a service grade Springfield Armory M1 made in December of 1943 (serial number 2286xxx). Don't have time to disassemble and clean it right now, but...

I bought a M38 Swedish Mauser last year and found out it had a single-stage trigger that broke like "a glass rod." It being my first Swedish Mauser and me being an ignorant Mosin Nagant fan, I just thought to myself "Wow, those Swedes must have been some serious shooters to make all their...

Finally got out to the range today to shoot my new CZ 452 Lux in .22lr :) . I put on an Uncle Mike's 1907 sling (with the help of a mallet and a tapered block of wood :eek: ) and then using Wolf Match Target ammo and sandbags, zeroed the nice adjustable sights. After about 60 rounds I got it...

I was at the range today testing out my newest rifle (Enfield No. 4 MkI Maltby) when an old buddy shows up with his Mosin Nagant M44 :D . Now, I own a couple Finn Mosins and one Russian 91/30, but I have never shot an M38 or M44, so. . .:D His M44 barrel is not in great shape, so I had to set...

Yay! I can finally post pictures now. Here's my Finnish M39 B Barrel:

Got my Bulgarian Makarov on Tuesday and tried to log on to get instructions on how to do a field strip. Strangely, my PC decided to throw a tantrum so I had no instuctions :( . I figured, it's a Combloc gun so I probably won't be able to break it, so I just (after checking to make sure it's...

I've seen pictures of some of the forum member's rifles and they're great. Hunting rifles, milsurps, EBRs, muzzleloaders, lever actions (did I leave anything out?), whatever. Which one gets the most attention? BTW, I'm not trying to brag. Cool guns are great conversation starters so it's...

Well, I posted asking about Swedish Mausers so I guess I should provide a report, even if it's a little incomplete. First, let me apologize for the lack of pictures; I don't have a camera (if I had the money for a camera, I'd probably use it to get a rifle :rolleyes: ). Accuracy: This is a...

I'm currently waiting for my C & R license to come in the mail but thought I'd get the ball rolling and a ask for some feedback. I'm interested in buying a Swedish Mauser but am not sure what the best way to go about choosing the model. I only shoot paper at the range, I'm not interested in...
