Howdy Bolero, You have an email. Take care, Greg

Bolero Hi Bolero, You have a pm on Rimfirecentral. Might be that my source and Seewin both come up with the same answer. Either way, it should be interesting. Take care, Greg

Howdy, I saw some comments on the S&B PM2 scope in a thread that has been closed. I am NOT looking to restart the argument and get this one closed. I just saw one of these scopes for sale on RFC. He has it listed at $2700, and later on in the add he says there has been a $50 price drop...

Ben..... Howdy Ben, That was an excellent, well thought out, and well written post. Thank you for having said it. I understood what you were saying all along, but this merely added more background to it. Ironically enough, had the young man who had received the beating, retaliated at a later...

Wow! Charles, just for grins and giggles I checked out the first link. OK, nothing in particular jumped out and right as I was about to leave I saw.......THIS! http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=653928 Once you start, you will wonder why you are reading it. However...

Howdy, I recently bought a post 64 long action Winchester model 70. It has a Douglas xx barrel chambered in 30-06 that is 1.2 inches in diameter the whole length, and is 25 inches long. Yep, it's heavy. I was told that the previous owner wanted to build an across the course gun out of it, but...

Howdy Wilber, Check your email, please. Thanks! Greg

Butch.... Howdy again Butch, You have a PM with some extremely pertinent information. Greg

Howdy Butch, You are probably going to find that you are stuck on this one. Art Jackson is still living, in his late 80's or early 90's, and the last I heard, he had more than one Morgan. I don't know if he has any children or grandchildren who would be in line to inherit the rifles or not...

More 6 o'clock firing pin info Howdy, I believe that time will eventually tell that the 6 o'clock firing pin is a benefit. More testing needs to be done. And it is being done. Gordon Eck quite possibly sees what others see as well. Hopefully, he will continue to test and post what he sees...

Howdy Varmint Al, Would I be correct in understanding that the barrel with nothing on it would tune a broader velocity range of ammo at a longer distance, say 100 yards for the sake of argument, than the other two options, using compensation theory? Thanks! Greg

IndianaJames..... Howdy Jim, I got a good chuckle out of that, thanks! Greg

Howdy Butch, Congrats on getting the barrels! You are correct on the setback barrel. He did the same on my Rem 37. I can see the date that he did the setback, 1962. But I am pretty sure the barrel is from the 1950's. It is the second or third barrel Johnson put on the rifle. The 1965...

BobZ Howdy Bob, You will find that Bolero is correct regarding pricing. Go to gunbroker.com and watch Anschutz auctions for a while. Or you could do searches on completed auctions also. Hambone is correct on pricing in Scotland, or other parts of Great Britain as well. As I understand it...

Well, that may explain it. 20 years ago a podiatrist at Ft. Bragg cut off a chunk of excess bone on my right heel with a hammer and chisel. No kidding. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't kidding. I mean, one minute I'm laying on my belly and worrying about the design of the gown and...

Hey Brian, Nope, a 513T didn't come with a tube mag. There were several different rifles in the 5teen series. A 510, 511, 512 ,513, 514, and a 521. They all used the same action, with the exception of the 514. It was a barrel and action all in one. I still get them mixed up, but I believe...

Howdy Bill, Check your pm please. Thanks! Greg

Howdy, A couple of things that may be of interest. Obviously you have noted that the bolt handle may need to have some changes. I had thought some sort of forward sweeping "dogleg" may help. Some arrangement should be able to be arrived at that would allow the trigger, loading port, and, bolt...

My thoughts exactly. Greg

Howdy, I am trying to learn something, anything, about a benchrest (?) gunsmith named W.E. Fraser. As I understand it he worked in the 1950s possibly into the 1970's. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks! Greg
