      Neat old rifle...

      I start off by saying I will post pics soon. I am currently working on a Winchester 1873 in .22 short. They only made 19,000 over a 20 year span in .22 (1882 to 1902) and I would guess very few in the short configuration. It has the same size octagonal barrel as the larger calibers but with...

      HAVE YOU EVER?

      I fell like Rumpelstiltskin after he just woke up, is this a bad thing now?

      Anyone have a scoped K-31 Swiss

      I use the diopter sights on the K31 and they are sweet, pricey but sweet.

      Gun Stock

      Wrong end of the state from me but there are plenty of how to's on the internet. I have a plethora of walnut in the barn that is drying but no way to help you out, sorry. You do know that nobody can make just one, don't you? I hope you get your help.

      Convicted For Building Guns; Judge says, “Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom”

      Yes, he will prevail in the end, but the left's job is done. His life as guaranteed by the constitution is ruined. That is the message they wish to send out, not that he did or even intended evil deeds with the firearms but was guilty of simply being associated to these evil things. The left...

      A5 early 16 ga barrel

      Thanks again, I plan on getting this one up and running for rabbit season this year. It is the same age as my brother! Maybe I can get him to carry it for me...

      A5 early 16 ga barrel

      Thanks! But now it gets interesting. I was always told the Sweet Sixteen is to 16ga what Light Twelve is to 12ga. This one is not an alloy receiver, but steel. I am beginning to think I am getting senile...

      A5 early 16 ga barrel

      You just got me reinterested in my Sweet Sixteen and I can't date the durn thing! It says "Sweet Sixteen" on the receiver but the serial is "A" over "9700". That doesn't match any date code chart I have found. It is an older 'round knob' stock and Belgian made. It came with a 26" IM/Mod and a...

      A5 early 16 ga barrel

      I have checked mine and the numbers on the barrel do not correlate to the serial number.

      A5 early 16 ga barrel

      No thoughts except have you checked the chamber length? 2.75 wasn't standard until 1927 if I remember correctly so if the barrel predates the receiver this could be a problem. I haven't had any of my A5's apart in a while, I will look and see if the numbers match up to the serial number in any...

      Private sales

      The first step in avoiding a trap is being aware of the trap. If you want to poke your finger up the bulls butt, I call to question the policy of publicly announcing your intention to the bull. Even if you have an FFL any AFT inspector will tell you they can ALWAYS find a mistake and that is all...
