Excellent articles on defensive measures persons can do to defend and limit attacks by these domestic terrorists and deranged nut jobs.

During the previous Trials auction that went for $12500 there was an apparent bidding war at the end, wonder if that will occur again, come hell or high water. As Imfuncity commented, will be fun to watch. Jerry

What is that rear sight??? Jerry

sighthound

The Remington pre model 11 autoloaders and early Remington Model 11s had cheeks and used nicely figured english walnut, the round knob grip was also used and checkering looks same. So could be from Remington shotgun but also could be original rifle stock or maybe nice custom job since stock appears ...

All the best on your Birthday Mitch, lets see now this makes 38 or maybe 39 and holding. Whatever have a bunch more good ones. Jerry

sighthound

The appearance of the wood, checkering and blue all look as if this rifle was put away in a very safe and secure spot when new and used very little. You did good with this, the sight are a plus in my view, modest improvements to make the rifle even better. Jerry

There currently is listed on GunBroker recreations of both FSMR and Trials rifles, having made a stab at doing these I can appreciate the effort that has gone into these projects. I placed a starting bid, not up to reserve, and urge others to go after them if you are interested. Jerry

In past posts within the past couple of years there has been information posted regarding metric designations for the FN Model 1900 rifle in several european countries, however, I can't locate it at moment but will keep searching. I certainly did not mean to confuse the issue. I did find one old pos...

Hope you latched onto the Italian FN 1900, as you may know only a little over 4000 made, once had one that came from Sweden, now resides with another forum member, currently have one that immigrated to USA in a returning GI duffle bag after WWII. In europe ammo will come in a number of designations ...

Thank you Roger, will go over mine more closely, never thought much about checking for listed chokes and barrel lengths and see if anything varies from listed specs.
I apologize for misspelling your name earlier, wild typing typing finger maybe. Thanks again for info, Jerry

Request for Rodger per your post about FN A5 shotguns with special features. I have a small collection of these spanning the first 1903 imports of Browning to the Super Lite model and would be most interested and appreciative if you could describe these special features.

I posted this on other thread also because it is a serious safety issue. This same malfunction had occured with a 8 I bought off GunBroker, no return sale, damage not disclosed, I did not pick up on how it could have happened, was not able to fix safety to my satisfaction, bought a new one and insta...

This is scary, I had the same problem with an 8 bought off GunBroker, no returns sale, bent safety not disclosed, I did not pick up on it as to how it might have occured, was not able to fix safety to my satisfaction, bought a new one and replaced. If this was current production Remington would like...

Congratulations Mitch now you are getting with the program, shooting beats collecting every time, putting something of yourself into an effort.

Much thanks Sarge for figureing this one out, will be most helpful in replacing a horn buttplate, was aware raw horn could be softened by boiling and shaping when fitting plug for powder horn but not aware of how to get more heat to make more workable. Thanks again, jerry

Hello Mr Mike, Sometimes one does have an opportunity to get history with a collection piece or shooter. For example I once had a very nice FN 1900 that came from Sweden via a Mormon missionary, history provided by seller said piece had been awarded as a prize in early 1930s and had had an engraved ...

Contact the seller and have him block the scam bidder. jerry

That is very nice wood in that buttstock, reminds me very much of some of the wood on Browning A5 lite models and the wood in replacement stocks made by Sile in Italy for A5s. By any chance does it have a dogs head on the buttplate? In all a very nice job of custominizing. Jerry

Jack, My FN had a 2 piece mount with 3 screws in front and 2 in screws back positions also soldered on, traces of solder remain and looks like area under mounts was roughed up a bit. Would like to plug holes and touch up blue, but they seem to be metric, larger than our 6 and smaller than 8. Will se...

From the engraving pattern on receiver, the matted top of receiver and rounded ejection port at rear this gun appears to be the Remington made A5 of WWII years, serial number should begin with A, these in 12 ga began with B and 20 ga with C, some had round knob pistol grip and some flat. Fine A5s, e...

Don't think so, walking pheasant on left side and flying duck on right look like standard roll engraving on many 11s, suspect someone enhanced those and added foliage and scrolls, pictures are not clear, however, someone did a lot of work on this and if quality could well be worth asking price.

Does anyone have any information on the possible effect the breaks in the collet type chokes such a poly might have on shot pattern? Thanks, Jerry

A thought here about the Standard Arms rifles, have never had any experience with one but have been told they are very unrelible in the auto mode and the manual mode was often needed to make it function. Jerry

Nothing wrong as far as function of Japanese A-5s go, same is true with Remington Model 11 and Savage 720 series and others like Charles Daly Auto Pointer. The same company in Japan that produced guns for Browning also made some with Daiwa and Herters names I have been told and maybe others. FN Brow...

Hey Mitch that horn in is pretty shaggy! Seriously is there a chemist in/on this forum that could do a chemical analysis of a Browning butt plate?

One way to tell horn is insects feed on it, bore holes and eat away sections. Jerry

That 336 Marlin is indeed a sweet rifle, used one of the octagon barrel cowboy version in 38-55 for lever action silhouette rifle caliber game, with a trigger job and tang sight it is hard to beat.
