American Graffiti portrays exactly the culture I grew up in... spent a lot of summer nights cruising Saginaw's main drags in my Ford coupe. We have a copy and play it often... still gives me warm, fuzzy feelings. Those were good and innocent times and they are not coming back. Jackie, that is a...

Pete, See my post above re: my 300S... Interested? Dick

I have a Feinwerkbau 300S (side lever cocking) that I shot in competition years ago. It hasn't been shot in at least 15 years. Assuming that the seals are dried out, I'm afraid to shoot it now without some service. There are no more matches in this area and it just sits in my gun cabinet. The...

Ian, the link expired before I got to it. When I renewed the insurance last summer Hagerty's told me it was worth $16,400.00. This for a #2 car which mine is. The 944's have appreciated a lot in the last couple of years. The first ten years I owned it, it was worth $6500.00. I had paid $7000.00...

I will explain why I had Kip chamber the gun with a minimum factory chamber... If I were going to keep it forever, I would have had Dwight chamber it with a tight-neck BR chamber. (See above.) However, at my age, if something happens to me some relative would get the gun, none of whom have a...

Wilbur, I think if they shoot as well, there would be something I am doing wrong. The only reason we have tight necks and turn cases is to insure that the bullet is pointing straight down the barrel, ie: the axis of the bullet is exactly concentric with the axis of the bore. If it's not, the...

I can do that. I have about a doz. cases that aren't turned. Although I can't imagine how not turning them would help. We do so much to insure that the bullet is looking straight down the barrel... There was considerably less than a thousandth runout in the neck wall thickness of the Lapua...

A few years ago I redid the interior to my liking. The original was black cloth with pinstrips. The Nardi wheel had just been sitting around for years... all I did was buy an adapter. I really like Cocomats and always buy them for cars I like. For years after I bought the Porsche it didn't...

Ian, I've had the 944 for nearly fourteen years. It had 43,000 miles on it when I got it and full documentation. It now has around 70,000. It's been clean and covered in the garage all winter. We've just had a week of unseasonably warm weather and the roads have been clean and dry. Last week I...

This is the gun exactly as I sent it out for rust bluing and checkering. (Minus the scope.)

My loading bench is inside my office and only a few feet from my range and shooting bench which are just outside the office door. I am neck-turning the brass just enough to eliminate any run-out in neck wall thickness. (Factory chamber.)

This is my new "Bench" gun just before I sent it out for bluing and checkering. The duece shot surprisingly well when I test fired it. There's a lot more about my actually building this rifle on another thread.

Due to some major health problems I haven't shot much BR the last three years. When I did it was local rimfire matches. All my bench guns had been sold. A couple of years ago, I happened upon a like-new Unertl scope at a gun show and bought it for a very good price. I immediately decided that it...

Whilst I wait for the gun to come back, I am collecting everything I need to load, shoot and clean it. I bought 100 Lapua match cases. I am moly coating any .22 BR bullets that I might want to shoot. This gun has a factory chamber with a minimum factory neck. I will neck turn it only enough to...

I have always regarded the safety on No. 1's as being an unsightly lump. I got a spare for this gun and ground and filed it down to a more pleasing shape. Then I had it checkered 40 LPI. The edges need rounding off but it's, otherwise, done. I like this a lot better. I asked Charlie to round of...

None of the above. It shot so well when I test fired it that I haven't touched anything. If it shoots as well when I get it back, I still won't mess with it. If it doesn't shoot, then I will do one thing at a time till it does. My past experience with No. 1's is that the fore end up pressure on...

As I said there are a lot of pics... I think I better quit for a while before Excede remembers that they are mad at me.

Matt knows... he lives near here. Micelli's Bar is fairly famous in Michigan. Located in, basically, the middle of nowhere, it features young ladies who dance and kinda wiggle to music in varying states of undress. We live in hunting country and, during deer season, Micellie's is very busy... I...

Years ago, back in the 70's, I bought a few pistol grip caps from Jerry Fisher of Montana. I took a couple of them to a fellow in Ohio and asked him to engrave them for me. He did so. Sometime last year I was sorting thru the incredible mess that is my workshop and found the two engraved grip...

I spend a lot of time taking pics of work in progress... I put them on a big screen and just stare... what can I do to make the lines (shape) more perfectly proportional and artistically appealing?
