Hey folks. Yestarday I picked up a mod 94 made in '54. It's my first lever and it was a steal for a rifle in pretty nice shape after half a century: After advice from the net I figured out how to take it apart and clean it. Now, do you guys have any tips and tricks about smoothing...

Hi all. This is a long post but I want to give all the details to the experts. I recently replaced the extractor in my MilSpec Springfield with a Ed Brown hardcore. I did this because the original was clocking and every now and then the claw would jump off the case and leave it between...

I am new in the 1911 world so if my question is stupid please be kind. I recently got a Springfield Milspec as a present (don't I have the best wife ever?) and I like most everything about it but two things. The first one, and the subject of this post, is the feel of the trigger. The...

I just got really confused. I was sorting some brass I had laying around and I noticed about %10 had this funny color. I looked almost like rust spots. This brass was resized and tumbled at some point and then it sat for about 2 months in an Akrobin in my garage. I have no idea if it looked...

Wiered groups So I took my Savage 10FP to the range this weekend and I had to test a number of changes including a new scope and my first try at handloading for it. The picture included shows two of the groups. Both are around 0.8" but both seem to be stringed funny. This is representative...

After much thinking I decided that my next step from a single stage should be a turret press. I load maybe 400 rounds of handgun ammo per month and time is not an issue, and I would like to start reloading for my rifles, but there I am likely to be very slow and deliberate, weighting every...

Hi all, I am getting ready to start loading .308 for my Savage 10FP, and I have a number of questions. 1) I'm planning to get the Lee deluxe die set. No one seems to say anything bad about them and they sure are cheap. Any reason not to? 2) My initial load will proabably be Sierra...

Hi all. I'm new at the reloading thing, so maybe this is a stupid question. I started reloading for 9mm, and I have a huge pile of brass, most of it S&B. However I seem to have a lot of trouble priming it. I am using one of the Lee hand priming things and CCI 500 small pistol primers. With...

Hi all, I'm considering picking up a Saiga in 308 and I was wondering if anyone ever had one modified to take some more popular mags. I understand that Krebs modifies VEPRs to take M14 mags and I started to wonder. I assume that it would need a few more changes to make it legal being an...

Out of curiosity, I just took my new 10FP apart today. OMG does that stock look stupid from the inside. How much more expensive could have been to fill in the front part and make it stiffer?? :rolleyes: Anyway, so I took a look at the trigger and it seems to have 3 adjustment screws. I just...

Hi all. This X-mas I got myself a Savage 10FP and today I took my first range trip with it. Even though this particular rifle has been discussed over and over on TFL and now here, there are always questions about it so I figured the interest is quite high. Hence here is my review of the rifle...

Hi all. After experimenting with a number of factory loads as well as surplus ammo, I have to conclude that my K98k is shooting high. By a lot, about 11''. At one hundered yards it groups quite well, but about a foot high. With heavier loads like the S&B 180 grainers is hits at about 8"...
