picked this up pretty cheap , it looked like it was stuffed away in a closet for 30 years without oil , covered i light surface rust including the vintage Weaver B4 scope and mount , this was much easier then the Springfield , the rust was removed with oil and 0000 wool , cleaned the wood with saddle soap and then rubbed Watkins rejuvenating oil complete disassembly and cleaning and oil gun functions well , another very accurate old rifle , the lever has a long throw and if you short stroke it it fouls the feed so you have to be very deliberate in throwing the lever

found this old thing this summer , it was basically a tent peg with a decent bore , gave $40 for it , came with a vintage weaver V22 and mount , it predates serial numbers , chambers S/L/LR , and is a tack driver , can hit a 1 1/2 spinner at 50 yds every shot had to strip the metal down to the white to buff out the pitting and did a complete reblue , did the process 8 times the lumber had about 7 coats of everything imaginable including green porch paint , stripped and carefully sanded , by all accounts research says they came with very blonde stocks when new so thats what i went with mechanically i broke it down the the last screw ,refinished each piece and lubed ,buffed the bolt out to remove rust and pin pitt, the bolt has a double extractor and one side was broken , tracked that part down and after about 100 rds the other side broke and replaced that side sold the V22 scope and kept the mount and put a pre WW1 small caliber German Oigee 3 post on it , got $50 for the Weaver so basically paid for the rifle and $10 bucks towards materials to restore first pic is the pic after i decided to sell the V22 and use the Oigee on it , the other pics are with the V22 on it

kinda a grey question , ive been on GB since the early days ,it was great back then , then they started to progressively get worse as the years ticked away , non paying bidders , cheats and lack of customer support recently a few months ago they sold it and the new owners started getting creative with fees , if it wasnt bad enough already thats the bad the good is the level of stupidity among buyers that over pay for things , not just firearms , but with overpaying comes buyers remorse which creates the before mentioned non paying bidders which in turn creates te nightmare with customer service to recoop your fees , but you do stillget those that honor their bid so its not all bad , just dont be surprised

the design is one because of the angle of the mount ,nothing to do with stupid , but when the caps are off it is indistinguishable that there is a right of left until you try and seat the cap it will not conform to the tube properly

looks like allot of wasted space in bulk for the storage area it provides

he maybe has the the ring caps backwards , some caps have a right and left , try flipping them

i dont know , but it was aimed at me i think , he quoted my post , i cant make any sense of the rant to tell what exactly he was saying though

may i add , i use to be big on Alumihyde II , until i used a carbon cleaner , stripped that stuff off like it was designed specifically to do so

those partitions are why i have a harry land owner range

what pistol

nice collection , .22's are addictive , i enjoy finding hard cases and restoring them

thankd , thats my pride and joy

so i bought a Stoeger Luger online and went to pick it up at the gun shop, a Ruger Wrangler caught my eye , read reviews ,seen a couple video reviews all positive , always been a fan , 10/22 . have a vintage Standard Mk1 , and a P95 ,all first rate weapons , decided to grab it ,get home grab some ammo and head back to the small caliber range and loaded the old Luger and the new Ruger , both LR tried the luger first 7 out of 8 shots hit the 8x8 gong off hand 25 yards , next the never fired Ruger wrangler hit the target once , same ammo same distance , reloaded both with same results, reloaded , dropped back to 40 yards with the luger , hit the 12x12 8 out of 8 shots , moved up to 15 yards with the Ruger hit the 12x12 3 out of 6 at 15 yards , what is going on decided to set up a rest and paper , at 15 yards off rest first shot aiming dead center of my target i hit a steel target to the right of my paper , off rest i could get it to group a 6 inch group 3 out of 6 ,a foot low and 8 inches right , thats right 1 foot low and 8 to the right , the other 3 rounds were wild childs no telling where they were going went and got all the different .22 ammo i had , 4 different brands , all shot way low and various degrees of to the right , none grouped , hand and rest covered in residue, could feel the blowback on my hand , tried the pistol on the rest , tried the heel of my hand on the rest , has a fixed front sight and a groove rear , so what do you do if a fixed front sight and shooting a foot low? you file the FSB down , i get it up on paper and its all over the place sent it back , month and a half later get a call from my gun guy said i can pick up my new pistol , it was unfixable so they gave me a new one , great , still love Ruger , they made it right , or so i thought , opened the box to the new pistol and this photo was in it from the factory , i did not get a warm and fuzzy , my gun guy said the look on my face was like i picked up dog crap with my bare hand get home head back and out of 4 kinds of ammo i couldn't even replicate that abysmal target they included with the pistol , took it back to my gun guy , said "take it home , run some rounds and tell me what you think" , nothing more he calls me back yesterday says it shoots fine which is code for im not dealing with this anymore , which means im looking for a new go to gun guy , i told him to sell it because if i bring it home i will hang it on a target and take to it with an AK did some research and found others with the exact experience as myself , my guess is they tuned some hand picked pistols to send out to their Youtube croney reviewers

LMAO , i am with you , the only thing they are good for is a Reddit profile pic i love the shotty in the Bad Pitt (intentional misspelling of Brad) move Killing them softly , you can see the shell casing protruding from the muzzle , i laughed so hard when i seen that i almost stroked out

before buying anything Rossi look into availability of parts , they are not available for the most part , this is important because the "quality is there , but not" , if that makes any sense , . what i mean is they are decent alternative for the money ,but the old adage you get what you pay for applies i purchased two Rossi rifles the same day , the RS22 .22 LR semi auto and a RS22M the .22 mag semi auto ,both have free float barrels , i wanted a pair of rifles for beaters for the farm to replace my Marlins that i had just restored and they were too pretty to go for tractor rides anymore out of the box they were close to dialed in and both functioned great , i decided to stay with the nice iron sights the LR came with and they are nice sights at this price point ,and threw a Sig Sauer variable on the magnum , the same day i was sighting in the magnum i ran maybe 5 or 6 mags through flawlessly between sighting in and getting a feel for the rifle , very pleased , would go as far to say very very pleased with both rifles , thought i found a new fav brand i have 32 acres so i have a harry land owner range , get to the house and put both on my gun bench to be cleaned later , think i went to cut grass or something , anyway about 2 days later i had time to clean the rifles and learn how to break them down , go to clear the magnum and no charging handle , it was there when i racked it the last mag i ran but somewhere between those 2 moments it seems to have vanished , how does a charging handle disappear? retraced my steps , looked all around the shooting bench , no joy , could not find it anywhere on line it took me 2 months to track one down , Rossi wanted me to send them the whole rifle just for the charging handle , i was almost forced to do that , for a part that ended up costing around $5 Rossi , they are great shooters for the money , you do not get a feel of great quality when handling them and it appears parts just come up missing for no reason , nothing was broken at all , no stub left behind ,nothing on the bolt broken , the recoil spring keeps pressure on a little stub that protrudes through where the charging handle fits fitting into a corresponding notch in the handle itself ,so i am thinking when the bolt was in battery the tension was at its most lax i must have bumped the handle just right to knock it out , not a good attribute for a farm beater

hilarious , lol !!

well i had decided to play catchup on the AR front , already had a couple and was looking to see what a local shop had one day and a Stag 10 caught my eye , i was smitten , but then not so much , wouldn't cycle more than 3 at a time if that ,Stag said it needs to be broken in , run it wet , so i did , fumbled through $500 in ammo and was disgusted , they said send it in and to their credit fixed it , just wish they had done that $500 worth of ammo ago , but i love the rifle now so all is good , still going to play Barbie a little bit with it

ohhh , i get what you meant , yea , even though i have duel citizenship i cant even bring anything in from Canada this is one that i had years ago

German DUV 44 G43 , all matching including lumber, no import marks , lumber unmolested , original ZF4 3 post , mint bore original mag and sling

saweet , the Russians really made some pretty lumber didnt they , we can have SVT 40's in the states , they just wont allow anymore to be imported

noice , gotta love a NM M1a , came close to buying one last winter , felt he was high on the price ,and when i checked the bore it wasnt what i like to see in a $2,200 rifle , it was a vintage M1a but took a pass

those are awsome well done

sweeeet

you know what , after all the years , thats the one explanation ive herd regarding this that actually explains why

those stocks are getting hard to come by , im more curious about the bi pod , is that the real deal? those bring some dough these days
