Copper cleaning pads such as "Choir Boy" which are sold in grocery stores. Make sure they are pure "all" copper with no other metals included. Use them and oil as described above. If you have a real stubborn small spot, you can use oil and a pre 64 penny, which is all copper. Use...

Bruce

Bill, Yes, that is them. They were here about this time last year. They did mention the bikes and Canada. The guy is kinda looney, but the girl knows the law (ID requirements etc..) better than some cops. She actually does carry the direct phone number to a few Agents so that a call can be made when...

Bruce

Fellas, I am going to reply to this with what some may consider a difference of opinion. I do not intend to offend or contradict anyone, just give some observations. I am 51 yoa and have hunted most of my life. Thirty years of those were spent as a Game Warden working in Florida. I have seen a lot o...

Bruce

Bill, This has got to be a small world. I'll bet that is the same couple who came through north Florida late last year. I kinda of live in a remote area right on US 27 and they were headed west. They came to my front yard one evening and asked if they could camp in my front yard for the night. The g...

Bruce

Congratulations, good pictures and story Mike. Do you happen to know where the rifle pack came from? I have a Polaris Ranger and need one of those.

Bruce

Chas., Rusty lives in Florida. As a rule, carry it out side and it will have moisture on it. Of course that is on a dry day. :lol: If it is a normal muggy day, it will get moisture on it inside a house or vehicle. We have trouble even getting a scoped rifle out of the truck w/o it fogging up. I help...

Bruce

Rusty, Those soft material (fluff if you will) lined cases have ruined more guns than most of us haver ever seen. Some rust sooner and more than others, but the lining will hold whatever moisture is on the gun when it is put inside. The same can be said about some of the leather cases. The chemical ...

Bruce

Wranglers!

No Levi's - Very bad. Anti gun, anti hunting, anti everything. The kids went bad. They don't even support Boy Scouts I am told.

Bruce

Ted,

That price is right on the edge of the high end in my area. Not out of line, just the upper range. It could be a Belgium model or a Miroku model or even a early Model 81. All are good rifles. If it is a pre 81 and as has already been pointed out - those magazines are scare and very pricey.

Bruce

Well, it is a steel framed Model 81 and should be a good one. If you like it, and you should - get a spare magazine before they go up in price like the pre 81's. Nothing wrong with the magazines, but all the BLR magazines seem harder to find when you need one. I also recomend that you pull the stock...

Bruce

Gobbler, A DD-214 is a very important document to anyone who served in the armed forces. It contains all of the important information about dates of service, rank, training, awards, assignments etc.. for the service member. You get the document when your service is completed and it is the one piece ...

Bruce

I have switched all of my mounts to the Game Reaper Dednutz mounts. Well made, sturdy and lightweight. I have found their low model is a little too low for most scopes.

www.dednutz.com

No dog in the show, but they have a very good product.

Bruce

We have had some lean years for quail here in north Florida, until a few years ago. We are now experiencing a population growth that is amazing. They are everywhere, even in habitat that is traditionaly not quail friendly. We have the ants, coyotes, cats etc.. Hope they stay well populated.

Bruce

Pete, I found another vintage add on Ebay and noted that it as well as the one you posted do not show any rings around the scope. Creative advertising or are there different variations out there?

Bruce

I have handled one this past Monday at my local gun store. The fit and finish is good and as bad as it may sound, the action cycled better (smoother) than any 336 I have ever owned or handled. I mean real smooth and it requires almost no effort to open it. I can't vouch for anything else and did not...

Bruce

Pete, thanks for posting the add photo. It shows the set up just right. My picture quality is not the best, but here are a few. http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/BruceHHH/101_0200.jpg http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn148/BruceHHH/101_0199.jpg The mount slides in and out of the base and is...

Bruce

It is almost OT, because I bought a Winchester Model 62-A this morning. Yea, it's a pump 22, but it is mint. About a 1955 or 1956 year model. The reason it is not OT. I knew when I saw it that the scope and mount on it where not quite correct. The rear of the scope mount has (had) some shims, but ot...

Bruce

What's the " contains no glass " printed on the box for...? :?: IIRC, from Hatchers Notebook, glass (ground) was used as a filler (additive) in an attempt to reduce fouling. I don't remember if it was in the primer or powder though. Maybe someone else has a better memory or the book nearby.

Bruce

My suggestion is don't change anything. Your velocity is fine and the accuracy is great. You have found what that rifle likes.

Bruce

What Terry said. 30-06.

That is what I have recently done.

Bruce

Can't be totally sure, but I think it is just your magazine tube is not exactly centered under the barrel. Slightly loosen the front magazine band screw and twist (push) the tube over to the right - when looking from the barrel end. BTW, that happens quite often when they are assembled/re-assembled.

Bruce

If you plan on hunting with this type of sight, going below the .093 will probably cause you some problems in low light conditions. I have tried and quit using the brass ringed ones because of the glare they sometimes cause. If you need the occasional smaller ring for intense accuracy purposes, go w...

Bruce

RIHMFIRE, Or any others looking for a lease. The clubs here in north Florida are seeing the effects of the economy and many have not filled up their membership needs. In Lafayette County, I am not aware of any club that does not have openings. We just had to turn back in a portion of the club land t...

Bruce

Yes, quite a bit of variety and some real good explanations.

Bruce

Nothin wrong with staying with your current BLR. If you are not confident with the 308, get another in 30-06. BLR of course. :lol: I have never had the opportunity to hunt anything larger than hogs and deer, but it appears that those who have, feel the 308 is capable and competent. My only recommend...

Bruce

I was doing a little research on Lyman 48S sights when I stumbled across this below listed site. It appears to contain some good information that would relate to a lot of us. I have not dug through it all, but it looks good on face value. Hope you find it helpful. http://www.lasc.us/IndexBrennan.htm

Bruce

When I wrote "our gun store", I was referring to the local gun store that I frequent - it is not mine and while I have helped out a little, I don't work there. It is Daddy's Gun Shop in Mayo. One of the best, if not the best in north Florida. Lot's of variety and the owner is a very good g...

Bruce

Pete is dead on about the chambers and the use of small base die set. It could also be a rough chamber that needs to be polished (honed) a little to remove chatter marks. If you have owned the rifle since NIB and it has always had this problem with factory ammo, I would guess a rough or too tight ch...

Bruce

Hawkins, Has the rifle ever been taken apart? If so, the timing might be out of order. A close up picture of the closed bolt (head area) would help. If no picture, can you insert a feeler gauge (what size?) between the back of the bolt head and bolt body with the action closed? A rough or oily chamb...

Bruce

My response was along the lines of what has already been posted. Where is the 30-06, the 270, the 30-30? Data is data, and that can not be ignored or challenged in this case. I don't have any problem with recoil and I can shoot, but the absolute worst experience(s) I have ever had with a (any) cartr...

Bruce

As already stated, the stock, pad, and sights will set you back around $200 plus and probably plus is more correct. If there is anything else wrong, such as the magazine, you are really going to get hurt. If everything was correct, it would be a steal. However, you are looking at just being on the b...

Bruce

Just in case you missed it. Here is a little article from our site.

Now don't go and tell me the Buckhorn location has closed. :evil: I went there quite often when I was in the Army going through medical training at Sam Houston. We were only supossed to get a few beers at the military price, but they managed not to count too well. That was a very good beer BTW. Long...

Bruce

Another trick for small areas is to rub the area w/ a copper penny. I think pennies from before 1964 are the ones you want use. I also use copper scrub pads, the ones shaped like steel wool pads. I get them at the grocery store, from the kitchen supply area. Just make sure they are pure copper, they...

Bruce

Rusty, I sent an email to Hobie this morning inquiring about the status of the article. Just for information, my article is more in the line of historical information. When, what, how and why would be the closest description. I don't get into the shooting them aspect in the article. But, I have a fa...

Bruce

OTH, I could not began to understand why they would act that way. Was the Chigago cat confirmed as wild or released/escaped? Just to clarify, I obviously don't have a clue about what is going on in Wisconsin. Sounds to me like it is pretty obvious there are cats there. I was just responding to the &...

Bruce

Nice acquisition. I would recommend nothing more than a good fixed wide angle four power scope for it. I would also recommend that you start looking for an extra magazine. They are no longer made (the early ones), very scarce and expensive. The (early BLR) .243 and the.358 magazines are the same and...

Bruce

For starters, you need to bring that 1895 TD in 30-06 up to north Florida for me to hold while you are gone. We will cover the finer details later - much later.

Bruce

Pork is not like any other game meat. It will spoil quick. If it is in a good walk in type cooler, you can wait a few days before processing, but not long. "Don't do the liver or heart". Get the hide off quick. If it is a boar, get rid of the go nads pretty quick also. If it gets upset or ...

Bruce

Rusty, I am doing some heavy duty research on the BLR's for a future article and have come across numerous quotes that mandate full length resizing. I would (and do) anyways, but apparently it is even more important with the BLR's. It appears that the final lockup (lever and bolt position) on the BL...

Bruce

Rusty, I don't know your intended use. I have read an article from American Rifleman (IIRC) about a BLR in .243 that had some very impressive groups from the lighter rounds. IIRC, somewhere around 3/4" for the light Hornady (55 gr.) and not too bad for those up to the area of 100 gr. If you are...

Bruce

Rusty, I have most of the details on the BLR calibers, but not the twist of the .223. However, I do have quite a bit of data available on other Browning rifles and it appears that 1-12 is their standard for the .223. They do make a target rifle that is 1-8, but I doubt that is used on the BLR. Their...

Bruce

Vall,

Are you out there? I sure do get unsettled when I notice old (membership wise) members taking too long of a break.

Hobie, make him quit working on that car and come back.

Bruce

Well, I never knew it had a name, but I did know it existed. For my entire LE career, we always joked that it was easy to tell a reired LE officer from others because of his/her limp. Mine got real bad towards the end of my career and it is not much better even after almost three years of retirement...

Bruce

Gabby, For a processed horn - one that has been cleaned and buffed up a little like the one we used in this project - expect to pay from $10 to $20 depending on the length. Remember to be careful of buying/using horns from out of country, especially stuff from the area of India. They are sometimes w...

Bruce

Madman,

My experiences w/ Dobermans is that for some unknown reason(s) and w/o any pattern or warning - they will just flat quit on you. These experiences are for working K-9's only. I have not been around any as pets.

Bruce

I have trained and worked tracking/scenting dogs since I was barely able to walk. Dogs will naturally follow the strongest scent (if trained so), but the part about tracking down a highway (while in a car) is not part of the real world. :o They can discriminate a chosen scent from vehicle scents and...

Florida does not have any law which would prohibit you giving the firearm as a gift to anyone who can legally own it. Residency is also not an issue for you.
