      Royal Tiger M1 Carbine

      I received this Friday for Royal Tiger. While I’m not an M1 Carbine expert I’ll try to relate to you what it is that I’ve got here. It’s a Quality Hardware receiver dating to 1944. Inland barrel from 1944 that gauges 00” at the muzzle with a shiny barrel. It was rebuilt between 1947 and 1958 at...

      WTS: Ruger M77 MKII RSI stainless WTS WTT

      I bought this rifle because I thought my son would want to hunt with it. It hasn’t worked out that way. This rifle was a special run by Ruger for Lipseys in Baton Rouge. It is a Ruger M77MKII in the RSI stock chambered in 7mm-08. The Burris Fullfield 2 3x9 scope is included. I’ll also throw in...

      Ballistol

      This is my first thread post in many years on this site. Hopefully this’ll go well. Ballistol is a product that was developed by the Germans prior to WW2. Do an internet search and read the results because history buffs will find it interesting. Anyway I read they used it like Breakfree CLP...

      Pattern 14 or Number 3 Mk2 Enfield

      I recently picked up a Eddystone P14 Enfield from Cabela's of all places for only $149.99. It was painted black and the stock had a heavy brown shellac covering it. They felt someone had destroyed the rifle. To me it looked like the way some countries prepared their rifles for long term storage...

      SPF: Blue Dot powder

      I was able to get a 5lb jug of Blue Dot. But with further research it just isn't going to work for my purposes. I'm not trying to profiteer. I drove from Baton Rouge to Gretna paid $104 and some change for it with tax. First person who has $105 cash and can meet me can have it. Dave...

      9mm Minor load with 124 grain Bayou Bullet and Blue Dot

      I'm almost out of the powder I have been using for 9mm and was only able to find Blue Dot. Has anyone got a starting load they developed for this combination? I'll be using a SP01. Dave Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

      Celebrity activities: Important to the country or a side show to distract us.

      Celebrity activities: Important to the country or a side show to distract us. I keep see threads about Lil' Wayne, Alec Baldin, Jim Carrey, etc. My question is this: does anyone in politics who now actually determine what we'll do, drive, toilets, jobs et al actually care or pay attention to...

      S&W Combat Masterpiece.

      I just scored a Model 15-2 which was made in 1963. It has the original box, with the unfilled out warranty card, manual, packing paper, and dry fire card. It has aftermarket target grips but the seller also gave me a pair of the diamond grips which would be correct to the weapon as made...

      Has 38 Special become less powerful over the years.

      http://www.smithandwessonforums.com/forum/ammo-forum/77-faq-my-p-study.html I don't know for certain that the information presented above true. But I can only say that I've often wondered why 38 Special has become less and less effective over the years. If this is true than it would explain...

      My latest Milsurp

      Swiss 96/11. That's 1896/1911. This particular rifle began it's life in 1903 as a Swiss 89/96. After 1911 they began to modernize those rifles to shoot the newer GP11 cartridge that was now being used in the Swiss G11 and K11. So at sometime between 1911 and 1918 this rifle had the pistol grip...

      P228 Weak Ejection

      I was shooting my 1990 P228 today. It did fine and I had no failures. However it's now ejection brass almost straight up. I say almost b/c in about 1 in 10 times the brass case would land right on top of my head. It's distracting. I'm wondering if this could be an early sign that it's time to...

      Sig R556 Opinions

      I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest. I was looking at this rifle and thinking about trading/selling one of my Colt AR15's to purchase one. I watched the NRA American Rifleman review. It sure looks a lot like an AK on the bolt and bolt carrier. It has a 2 position gas system. 1:7 twist...

      Finnish M91/30 Tikka 1942

      It was a little rough looking when I found it. After removing the action from the stock I found some pitting and rust on the underside of the barrrel. (Not deep enough by a long shot to effect safety) The rust was removed with Kroil and a brass 32 acp case. The bluing was still under the rust...

      Found a Arisaka Type 38 rifle and Type30 bayonet

      I finally beat Candyman into BJ Pawn! :) The rifle. The bolt doesn't match. The cleaning rod is gone. But the mum is intact and it has a dust cover for the bolt. It's toe was broken and then carved up to take the rough edges off. Also there is a bit of wood missing to the right of the rear...

      WTS: EMPI 300PV Tens Unit

      Cost $1,350. Looks brand new. Two sets of electrodes, carrying case, 4x AA rechargeable batteries, battery charger, instructions, all included. I don't think that it was used even 15 minutes. Make a reasonable offer if interested. Pictures furnished upon request. Thanks, Dave

      MAS 36 sporterized for sale:SOLD

      It's been sporterized. The barrel length has been reduced to a little over 17 inches. But it looks like it was done a long time ago by the original importer and the barrel crown looks professionally done. A safety has been added also by the importer. It's handy short little working rifle that...
