      Buying and Selling questions

      Just a reminder Biden did not change the law, he cannot because only Congress can make law. The ATF at Biden's direction illegally changed the definition of engaging in the business of selling firearms and the new rule gies into effect May 10. How gun show promoters will handle this remains...

      MIROKU JAPANESE WINCHESTERS?

      No. Winchester produced the 1892 from 1892 to 1945. Calibers were .25-20 32-20 38-40 44-40 and near the end of production added .218 Bee.

      MIROKU JAPANESE WINCHESTERS?

      They are well built rifles. The screws are all metric and us made winchester parts won't fit. I believe they added a safety as well.

      As if your life depended on it…

      I don't carry a bug out bag. Mine is a get home bag containing things that will help me get home if an emergency arises when I am not home.

      Help identifying this rifle!

      The G&A pin and Hornet cases look like they were done by a previous owner. The repair around the pivot screw area quite likely done in the US. I have seen a fair number of Swiss and German single shots over the years that were made by individual makers that had similar styling but the actions...

      When is it your reloading error vs a mechanical problem.

      Another thing to watch for is cases that did not get sized small enough just ahead of the extractor groove. Some cases either don't get sized down enough or spring back enough to cause the problem. Usually these are cases fired in Glocks which are known for marginal case support in that area of...

      Help identifying this rifle!

      It is a Swiss or German built Martini style action sporting rifle made pre WW2. There were many individual gunmakers in that era making similar guns. Not a Farquharson, the big screw at the top rear of the receiver is the pivot for the block. Because it is not a factory built rifle parts would...

      And Another RINO Gone…

      You are correct that Jim Banks (R-IN) announced he is not running for his US House Seat. That is because he is running for US Senate hoping to replace Senator Mike Braun who is running for Indiana Governor.

      When is it your reloading error vs a mechanical problem.

      If you have arthritic hands a bench type might work better, you just have to develop a feel for it. I have a bit of arthritis in my hands from 48 years a a toolmaker, but am still able to use a lee autoprime well. I can easily feel the primer seat to depth.
