      Lockdown C&R acquisitions

      During the lockdown I received my C&R license so I decided to spend my time constructively. I picked up these two nice examples: The first is a 1967 Ruger Bearcat and the second is a 1966 Colt National Match. All in all, I am pretty happy.

      Winter project

      As some of you know, I have a thing for a .275 Rigby. Awhile back I bought a bubba'd Spanish Mauser. The stock was pretty crappy and it had the original barrel and sights. It was already chambered for 7mm Mauser so using it for the rifle I wanted seemed to work. I yanked off the stock and...

      This guy has been hanging around!

      I had a couple of pics of a large bird that was on my fence, in another thread. A few folks helped me decide that he is a Coopers Hawk. We he has been hanging around almost daily around my yard. Here are a few "full frontal" pics of the guy (or girl). This white pigeon has also been...

      Picked up a new rifle this evening

      Yep, I did it, I just couldn't help myself. Watching other Hooligans shoot their new Garands made me crazy so I went and got one for what I think, was a bargain. Now it is not a CMP rifle so it may need some TLC. I am just lucky enough to know two people who went to the CMP school recently...

      50-70 Govt

      Does anyone load 50-70 Govt. I have the chance to get my hands on an original 1871 Navy Springfield but since it isn't mine, I don't want to spend a small fortune on ammo. I ordered 20 cases from TOW and may have a line on some .515 lead boolits. If this all happens, it will be shot on the...

      Frankenhammer project

      Recently I bought a rifle for a ridiculously good price. It is a BRNO Mauser with a Kimber of Oregon 24" barrel. It just has a cheap plastic stock but it is a 7MM Rem Mag. When I got it, the barrel was "in the white". I had to try it out at a Hooligan shoot last Sunday and was stunned by...

      Kimber of Oregon rifle barrels

      Does anyone know anything about Kimber barrels? This is not on a Kimber rifle. I really can't find a lot of info on the interwebs. Are they any good or not?

      Flintlocks, who knew?

      I have been researching building a flintlock lately. There are kits out there that I had no idea even existed. Not your run of the mill Cabelas kit but, kits "in the white", builders kits, and others. Now the conundrum of figuring out which style I want. I didn't know there were so many...

      Deer antler powder measures

      I am looking for folks who may want to donate some deer antlers. My plan is make powder measures for black powder rifles. Of course all who donate will get a finished powder measure back in the grain size that they specify. I do not plan to sell them, but give them away. I am just starting to...

      Preferred 9mm brass?

      I went through all of my 9mm brass today, what an undertaking, and separated it all by head stamp. Most of my brass is range pick ups and I have a metric butt ton. What I am asking is, does anyone prefer one brand of brass for reloading over other brands? Why? My pick ups include...

      Mini-14 vs. AR-15

      I am sure that there are those among the members here, who have varying opinions on this subject. Why would a person want a Mini-14 over an AR?

      More .280 reloading questions

      I have been doing A LOT of research to get as much "helpful" information that I can use. I have found several reloading sites that say that I should use Magnum rifle primers when loading. I cannot find this on any of the "normal" suspects sites or any of my manuals. I know that this will...

      .280 Pet Loads?

      Mueller Optics

      Anyone ever heard of them or have one? The guy at my LGS said they are on the same level as Burris, Athlon, and Lower end Vortex.

      Hornady .357 brass short!!!

      I just started loading .357 and much to my surprise, when I was measuring the "once fired" brass that I had on hand, it was 1.24". All of my reloading references say that the proper length is between 1.28" and 1.29". Has anyone else experienced this?

      Savage Model 99E

      I am seriously thinking of purchasing a Savage 99e. This one is in .300 Savage. It is older and has no round counter. Thoughts? Does anyone have experience with this model and caliber?
