I don't think this has been brought up but Federal, Winchester and Remington are all offering mail in rebates for some of their ammunition. It's mostly hunting type stuff and pretty limited in scope but every little bit helps. I know I won't say no to $5.00 a box .30-30. Some sporting...

I don't actually own any "hunting" rifles, everything but my 10/22 and my Rem. 1100 is a military pattern of some sort or another. I've never been hunting and may go, but I've decided to put together an all-round rifle that could conceivably handle anything that my .22 or .223 (AR-15) couldn't...

Last week on the way back from visiting my girlfriend's family in Cleveland we took a side trip to Camp Perry. The pistol matches were just starting and guys on commercial row were literally unpacking as we walked around looking through them. Before I walked through what is for all intents and...

I recently purchased a 1903 Mark 1 from the CMP. The metal parts have been degreased and oiled up with CLP and it all is in good working order. Everything is working fine, rounds chamber and extract and all that good stuff until the last round in the magazine. If there is just a single...

This is pretty image heavy, so be warned. I finally made my trip up to CMP North. It's about 300 miles north of where I live. I left around 6 and arrived around 11. It was fairly busy, there were maybe a dozen other people that came through. The staff was incredibly helpful, answering all my...

I have a Mosin 91/30 with a case that won't come out. I feel like an idiot, everything I have done has gone from bad to worse at an ever increasing rate. I tried to get it out using a wooden dowel as an extension for a cleaning rod. The dowel shattered, splintered and is stuck. I tried...

I've finally gotten around the last steps of assembling my flintlock pistol kit. I've got the stain on there and I've been rubbing it with boiled linseed oil. However, I think I may have overdone it a bit on the last coat. I let it sit for about 24 hours since I last rubbed in a coat of oil...

I am fortunate enough to live within reasonable driving distance of the CMP's store at Camp Perry. This December I will be taking a trip with my girlfriend up to their store with the aim of purchasing a 1903. This will be my first smokeless powder rifle. I'm bringing my C&R license, my club...

I was exiting my garage yesterday and the UPS man walked right up to me and handed me a long, large heavy box. He turned around and walked on out o the driveway before I could ask him anything or even check the name on the box. The package did have my name on it and came from Connecticut...

I purchased a Walter p22 not three days ago, and after a day at the range on Sunday I turned the internal trigger lock to "safe" before bringing it home. Turns out, I can't get the thing unstuck. I've tried everything and every possible combination short of taking it down, which I'm not sure...

This is a bit of a cross post with the muzzleloading board but I figured this would be the best place for it. I recently purchased a Traditions flintlock pistol kit. I've had a professional do some tapping and threading for parts that don't fit properly but everything else I'm doing myself...
