Rob, I agree with you in principle; while we diverge from topic at times it is courteous to return to the main discussion. However, I also support minor side tracks in our forum. It makes for a very active and cool chat. I see other forums that languish for months or years without any comments; they...

Range Report. I fired a few rounds at 50 yards to make sure the sights we ok, then I moved the target back to 100 yards. Off bags I can keep the groups to about three inches, which is pretty good with irons and an unfamiliar gun. As I shoot it more, I think the groups will get smaller. ckmorley One...

Phyrbird

You Guys :!: :!: Keep tweaking my pique. You should try the 223 and others in the Contender. Lapped barrels make for accuracy. Send me a link to the other site so I can join the fun. :lol: This is why I started the thread on the 223 sabots in 30Rem and plan to do the same with 300Sav. :geek: Our lad...

Nice one Sarge, Congrats

Phyrbird

Adam,
As usual astute. random OK, incorrect Not, Pass the time Yup. Mysterious Yup

Phyrbird

Glad I could help, Steve.

Phyrbird

Steve, is it an early Ser# 81? I found 2 early production rifles with the same problem. Investigating discovered a spring like action the last 1/8th to 1/4" to seat the buttstock. Tried lots of checks, it turned out the hole for the spring tube going into the stock was not as deep :shock: on th...

Phyrbird

Gee wish I could have been there

Chas sent you a PM...

The avatar is a pigeon.

Phyrbird

Mine is the 8th ed. It has 25 Rem, 30Rem, 35Rem, & 300 Sav articles written by Ken Waters.
They are very detailed discussions of loads and issues for each cartridge. Very thorough.
I;ll have to get back to you on the 32Rem, It's a little more obscure.

Phyrbird

Try a web search on 30 Remington or 25 Remington

Phyrbird

My sympathies

I had the same problem trying to sight in a BAR 300WM. Wasted half a box of shells till I noticed the scope bases wiggling.

Phyrbird

Some good info on this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4014

I would also suggest Ken Waters' Pet Loads book, one of the few articles on the Remington calibers reloading. A classic on others too.

Phyrbird

UHJ, A very clean rifle, my compliments. :) They are right the steel buttplate is rare, almost as rare as the "S" curve plate. :geek: The crack in the forearm can be repaired. I've used epoxy with good results in the past. One thing the wood in the crack should be as clean as you can get i...

Phyrbird

welcome John, beware this site is contagious, :twisted: as are our ladies. The ladies just love friends in the same closet. ;) Therefore you end up with a family instead of a single adoption. :lol: I do have a soft spot for most of the Browning designed pieces. And, yes we do like pics, and sharing ...

Phyrbird

Thanks Cam, Very good photos they help a lot. I don't think mine has the lettering on the left side as yours. The mag disconnect is there and all else, including the roll stamp on the barrel and the butt plate. This adds to my knowledge of JMB's life works, I have a nice Savage with the engraved rec...

Phyrbird

Cam, Wow, thank you gentlemen. I would like some ID photos for the FN A5 shotgun. :idea: However, I don't want to hijack Ikuturso's great discussion on this beautiful Swiss FN1900. :mrgreen: If we want to continue here it's fine with me; if you (Cam) think it better we could start a new thread. Cam ...

Phyrbird

Ikuturso, Some where I have a magazine article on the recently located Georg Luger prototype marked with his personal stamp. :idea: It has the slot in the grip too. 8-) I am fascinated you have the opportunity for hunting in Europe. :mrgreen: I also have a soft spot for the Schmidt Rubins, another c...

Ten Ring, Bander,
I've a source of supply, but they're out. When they get more I'll try to load up for us.
Send me a list of how many you want and I'll forward it on. I've sold some here with no ill results.
Wish I could find some good 32 or 25 brass, not the old collectable stuff. I load.

Phyrbird

Bander, I do support use of Loctite products. Just remember if you use the red, hydraulic sealer, or the shaft lock it takes 300d F :twisted: to break it loose. I used these in industry and they Work :!: They make a (purple I think) specifically :ugeek: for small screws. It is very nice on those tin...

Phyrbird

I have one of those Nikons, a very nice scope for a reasonable price. Just a comment, for these rifles the lower power optics make a lot of sense. Anybody here going to take a 300yd shot with cartridges designed for 100-150yds? A 75-100 year old rifle, ammo designed just at the infancy of smokeless ...

Phyrbird

Jim, Somewhere on the site is photos of a picatinny rail mounted on the rear sight screws. On the rail is a holographic sight. It's got to be one of the coolest adaptations for optics mounting I've seen for these rifles. NO Drill. Plus the physics of the recoil action is transmitted less to the barr...

Phyrbird

Jack be careful the temptation could go Viral

Phyrbird

Gents, A couple of notes; I don't see a photo of the bottom tang. Could there be a extra hole to match the one in the bottom of the stock? Where the tang covers. Further I don't see a photo of the Ser# on the bottom in front of the mag, or the Ser# on the left side of the tang under the wood. I'd be...

Phyrbird

come on Jack, give the guy a day or two.
That's all it takes I know

Phyrbird

Bander, I don't recommend loctiting the takedown lever or the forearm screw :oops: It might make things difficult. :shock: Wish you well with those issues, they can be frustrating. Had similar problems with eyeglasses, a scope, and a 45/70 Marlin. :oops: Wish I still had it. :cry: but the trade for ...

I did it cover to cover

too much Jackitis I guess.

Another dream.
We should never give up dreams, sometimes they come true.
ikuturso, I too wish for that hunt,

my daughter spent a semester in Regensburg. We have some history.

Phyrbird

Ten Ring, You don't have to do that yet. We can see the "rocker" inside the slot in the receiver. Try a small screwdriver or lever to push the rocker down. Another option is to remove the safety lever screw and see if the shaft moves separate of the shaft. Aligning the lever and the rocker...

Phyrbird

A copy of the NRA Handloader's book helps.
Ken Waters' Pet Loads is a great reference as well.

Avoid buying stuff till you hook up with someone with a couple of decades of experience. It saves you a lot of cash.

Enough to buy a couple of rifles. I should KNow.

Phyrbird

Tang sights can be adjusted for windage by shimming one or the other side of the base or moving the front sight. I'm pretty sure the intended design was to move the front sight in the dovetail. A press fit, sitting for decades with out lube or never-sieze they are often locked up. The right way is ...

If I can ever get back to my Mennonites we'll have some oval (Redhead originally) cases we can transport our ladies in style.

Next you'll have to come to the Cave City show to deliver the late birthday.

http://www.hoosiergunworks.com/cave_city.html

Note the address, not in Vermont...

The show is not big, but a nice group.

If you bring back 2 for me bring your own Grade F M81 just to show.

Phyrbird

Can you bring me back one of these?

I still have those dreams....

Phyrbird

Ten Ring, Get a tackle box with those plastic sort boxes that fit in; it's great for those scorching summer days and the freezing winter nights. Sit in front of the TV and reload to your hearts content. The Lee hand held press has enough leverage for most jobs. I just need to find a hand held powder...

I think we need to give feedback on deals; it protects us all.
Yet still the admin needs to be able to verify in case of disagreement.

Gee Whiz, look no side spring

Phyrbird

Not as bad as me

but then again you're just getting started with our belles.
Mine has overflowed to Browning, other Remington, & S&W.

Luckily it is not a terminal affliction, just makes you trade happy.

Phyrbird

Sarge,
Good point for us to reload.
If you think those are high try buying 460S&W or 300 Rem Ultra Mag.

They will put a real kink in your wallet.

Phyrbird

Ten Ring,
We did try to tell you that Jackitis is contagious.

And that our ladies invite their friends to stay.

This is one more proof of the virility of our affliction.

Phyrbird

NNiiccee

Was the case a one off or is there a source?

Phyrbird

You have a potential nice lady.
I suggest the Doctor needs to operate

I wish the patient well.

Phyrbird

Truly, Jackitis contagion leads to the complication of RELoader.

Our ladies need to be fed an often custom cuisine.

We will sacrifice 30-30 brass, 7.62 NATO brass, and many pounds of linotype to the alter of our ladies.

Greg if you need some tips we got you covered.

They even come in Hot Pink if you like.

That's good to hear, sounds like you got a straight shooter.
Congrats
