Howdy Tim, Looky there.......you failed to post the link Tony requested, and dodged Tony in the process..... I've got stuff to do tonight, but I'll try to get back in a day or two and show you the errors that are self evident in your post. I have no interest in turning this into something...

Howdy Tony, He won't find such a link because there is not one. Furthermore, he's posted on at least one other thread where you mentioned Bill, and Black Death, multiple times, and that thread had been up for years now. And he survived it. The "predictable emotional outcome" to "that name"...

Spec 5, AKA "Black Death" was just shot by Mike Sherrill as he became the 2021 IR-50 Outdoor 10-SHOT National Champion with a score of 506. Another win!

Howdy, This may, or may not, give a bit of help. http://rimfirebenchrest.com/articles/Calfee-StoppedMuzzle.html These are a collection of Bill Calfee posts from this site, from years ago. It's lengthy, but you'll see that in one of his posts he talks about waiting a bit of time and shots...

Tony, I'm sorry to read of the loss of the barrel. Pretty astounding it still did a 250 18X in the last competition. The barrel served you well. You cleaned it as good as could be done by anyone, and it lasted innumerable rounds and won more than any other. If you leave it as-is you can put...

Howdy Wilbur, Good news! Hope you keep improving! Take care, Greg

Howdy skeetlee, I've never heard of a 5 degree leade either. Calfee has obviously built a lot of record setting rifles with a 2 degree. You could always experiment.......but you may end up with a reamer you won't use again as you cut the tenon off and start over. Any chance it's a mistake on...

Howdy George, I think you are correct, he keeps making posts about it. It should be interesting to follow along on the build. Take care, Greg

Howdy Tim, Goodness Tim........your post is fake news. You do more harm to yourself than you do to Bill when you do this stuff. It's been long enough for your post to have had a lot of views now, so I might as well show you what others see in it that you obviously can not. I posted accurate...

Tony, It's been a long time now, but there was a rifle Bill sold under circumstances I can only describe as amazing. And it was done on this website. Sorta. Bill had built a rifle that for some reason was not going to be bought by the person who originally intended to buy it. The name was...

Al, I've long looked at your posts and admired how you can express yourself in a variety of ways. Particularly by using unique spellings and capitalizations and spaces so that make it seem like you're in the room carrying on a conversation. Even use some of your methods in emails and texts...

Wilbur, on the last post of the first page of the "IR 50/50 The Primer" thread in the stickies is a scammer named baenly. He used the exact post two posts above his to place links. Might want to get rid of him. And when you do, please feel free to delete my post following his that's calling...

Baenly, you're not even a SMART scammer! Using the exact same post from four and a half months ago to place your links in? Wow! Don't click on the links in the above post y'all!

Howdy Bob, A word of caution on the Colibri. I was playing with some it one time in an Anschutz with a long barrel. One shot didn’t seem to have an impact. I thought that was weird. I started to load another one......but it BUGGED me that I didn’t see an impact. So I pulled the bolt and...

Hi Bob, Glad it is working for you. Yes, the front will have a long mushy pull. That minor movement from the rear trigger along with the minor click is the system setting. Mine was mint looking, too. These are fine old rifles, and quite rare. Try a variety of target ammo in it and you might...

Hi Bob, I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY! I had to go find a pic of one of these to check my memory. I got it BACKWARDS! Goodness, I’m sorry! I sold mine years ago and forgot the trigger arrangement. Pull the FRONT trigger to the rear until you hear a click and it should set the system. THEN pull the...

Glad you got the rifle, you’re gonna love it. I don’t know the barrel stamps, but if you go to rimfirecentral.com there is a Remington forum. There is also a Remington 37/40x subforum. The guys there can square you away on any barrel stamps. Enjoy your rifle! Greg

Hi Bob, Wow, this thread goes back a ways! I got hurt pretty bad in the recession and had to sell my 3S, along with a bunch of other good rifles. From what I recall of the 3S, the back trigger is the set trigger. Pull it and the front trigger becomes verrrrrry light. Then pull the front...

Al, you might be a yank, but give it a go just one time and you’ll be an equal opportunity eater! If you don’t believe me just ask me! Take care, Enjoy Thanksgiving! Greg

Howdy Trout, If the rifle has been well cared for you have an excellent rifle. Do a search on Eric Johnson on this website and you will find a fair bit of info about him. I bought my first Johnson built 37 around ten years ago. I love it. When you do a search you should be able to learn a...
