It can't be true! None of this was mentioned in 'Living History" -

Very interesting.... sort of a mini globe sight....or a large diameter aperture insert for a globe with cross hairs...

I have a cross hair globe sight insert that I've never bothered to try on the assumption that I wouldn't be able to see it.

Thanks for the replies. I also received a response elsewhere that indicates the need for opening the feed rails. I found an action in very good shape and will proceed with the conversion. It will be a real United Nations job - a Japanese built German rifle for the Thai army, modified in Australia fo...

WORLD NEWS Friday Oct 5 08:19 AEST Diggers laid to rest in Belgium Friday October 5, 2007 Ninety years ago, Australian diggers Sergeant George Calder and Private John Hunter were among thousands of soldiers whose bodies went missing on the bloody World War I battlefields of Belgium. But thanks to so...

I know exactly how you're feeling. I was the same when I reported for discharge from the Army after 26 years. I had gone in from school aged 17 and had no experience of the civilian world - it was a real culture shock. It must be close to 14 years since I left but I still feel Army.

Has anyone any experience of the Siamese in 45-70? I am particularly interested in the magazine modifications needed and how well they feed.

I saw a Wedge-Tailed Eagle kill a cat. It dropped from a limb onto the cat and held it fast in its talons until the cat was dead - suffocated - before pulling it apart.

Congratulations Mark. Looking forward to hearing about your hunt.

I'm getting a lot of the same thing from gunshop sites. Numerous enquiries and no responses !!

You putting in the "salvo filler"?

Yes, it looks good too!

Eureka! From LEFT to RIGHT. It just needed a slight tap to get it moving.

Where is "The One Sticky" when you need it?!

Ain't that the truth! I've been pushing this way 'n that way to no avail but I'm also missing the vital tool - a paper clip.

I need some clarication. Does it push out from right to left or from left to right? Looks like a difference of opinions here: 1: Cock the hammer back and push the safety to the left. You will see on the right side of the gun, inside the area pictured, little holes in the cross bolt . Line up the hol...

Scott,

It arrived yesterday and looks great! It will probably be a day or two before I get a chance to fit it.

One approach may be niche market farming. It will take some careful research to identify the market but there are real possibilities.

Yeah, most references I found mention French Grey 'type' finishes. I understand there is a cyanide method of case hardening that imparts a grey finish. Whether this is true French Grey remains open to question.

This is what Eabco says about their French Grey finish: "A soft looking, hard gray-metal finish which is superior to stainless steel in its corrosion resistance, wearability, and operational "slickness". We prepare the exterior metal surface by blasting with a blend of very fine alumi...

Thanks game keeper. Very generous help has come from Hobie.

I want to buy a couple of these new Lee Enfield mags but the only source I can find is the Sportsman's Guide who don't accept international orders. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/catalog/CatalogPage.aspx?cid=283&p=35 It seems I can probably make an online payment and have them shipped to a U...

That was my plan; a .22, a 12G shotgun, one centrefire rifle and a three gun safe. Only problem was I hit on a Winchester 94 and came here for info and got contaged....

Probably a dumb question but have you tried The Swedish Firearms Forum?

Could rifle wood be adapted to the carbine?

Usually use Tango4c: (Tango-Four-Charlie) my radio callsign during my south-east asian spell or Paratus: my regiment's motto.

Here, no imagination at all -

Dunno if this has made the rounds in the US but it appealed to me: The train was quite crowded, so a U. S. Marine walked the entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have t...

Some [expensive] original rooks here:

....or build one on a small Martini action. The top one is on a W.W. Greener action in .357 Magnum and the one on the right a .22 Sportco with stocks in Tasmanian Blackwood.

It appears this is a 70s built rifle. I received the following Email from the seller: ".... I will be transferring this gun through Mcdonalds Gun shop upon its sale. Its built on a number 4 mk2 action and has a "S" on the cocking piece which i understand is Savage. It has a sliding la...

Does anyone know anything about these? It looks pretty. Here's the seller's description: Calibre: 303 Make: Interarms Model: Sporter Mk 5 Action: Bolt repeater Sights: Aperture Serial No: 3043 Comments: Interarms sporter made in UK, 5 round mag, adjustable peep sight. Very good condition. http://i16...

That's really handy looking carbine - beautiful case colors too. Is the wood standard grade?

My licence is $35 a year regardless of the number of guns. Whenever I add one it costs $27 for the addition. Taking them off - zilch.

I'm here -
