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

Howdy again West, Someone was very kind to pass along to me the website and name of the gentleman I have been telling you about. His name is Larry Corl, and the link to the site is: http://forums.delphiforums.com/matchshooter/start Post your info there to Mr. Corl and I am sure he can give you...

Howdy West, You may want to consider asking this question on the rimfire forum as well, I don't know if the guy who goes by 40ezxs checks this board or not, but he periodically checks the rimfire board. He will be able to give you better info than me, shucks, he quite literally may have been at...

Howdy West, I did a bit more digging. I apologize, in my effort to be of help, I may have offended, you had to know about your Dad's shooting career. As weird as this seems, there is an ebay auction going on right now of a picture of your Dad. Here is the description: This is an original...

West.......... Howdy West, Ok. You are holding out on us. I thought your Dad's name looked familiar. More on that in a minute. Benny was Benny Sunderhaus, I think I spelled the last name right, he was a gunsmith in Ohio and he built some custom actions that were supposed to have been good...

Howdy West, By any chance, does the barrel have the name Eric Johnson on it? Somehow I suspect that your Dad's rifle is EXTREMELY accurate! Greg

Howdy Brian, Hope you don't have to freeze yer fingers off to get an answer like ya did on the Balvar last week! Thanks though! Greg

I CALLED Remington and got 2 different dates!!?? Howdy, I called Remington and talked to 2 different people in some department that said they could look up serial numbers and date the rifle. I got 2 different dates!!? 1968, and 1970.:confused: The calls were seperated over a number of...

Thanks Guys!! Howdy, Thank you all for your help! Landy, I appreciate the offer, but I already have a copy of the manual. All it had to say about lube was "None of the moving parts require lubrication other than that applied at the factory". Of course, I sorta think that applied more at the...

Howdy Fred, Yep, I had loosened the lock ring. However, I read your first response again. You said yours was stiff as well, and it could be the lube had hardened over the years. I got the scope out a minute ago. Got it in good light and started turning the objective 'til I could get my...

Thanks!! Howdy, Thanks for the input guys! I thought I knew what I was going to use, 'til Fred J said that about drying out , or swelling up, the o-ring. Wouldn't have thought of that! Brian, what is that MPro7 likely to do to the o-ring? Not looking for an argument or anything, Fred J...

Howdy, I have an old Balvar 24 barrel mounted target scope. I like it quite a bit. When adjusting the objective lens for different distances, it moves slowly, with a fair bit of effort required. There is nothing binding, no grinding or anything like that. It turns, it just requires more...

Brian.... Howdy Brian, I saw this thread and realized that something Bill Calfee posted on rimfiraccuracy.com probably applied to you. I will copy and paste it. More Falcon 6:00 ignition More Falcon 6:00 ignition My Rimfireaccuracy friends: I'm snowed in.....so I got time to...

Joe.... Howdy Joe, Hope you had a great Christmas! Did you consider trying this test? I don't know how scientific it would be, as the quality of the ammo certainly isn't match grade. John Kielly is probably correct that it might just be a test of the rifle's ignition system. That ammo is...

Howdy George, That is a fine looking rifle! Even if the bolt handle is on the wrong side! I appreciate the offer, but I have to pass, way too broke to buy a rifle now. You know, I think you might have taken Dick Grosbier's "insert hook, tug slightly to set" comment to heart. I mean, look at...

Jgee...... Howdy Joe, You may be in a good position to MAYBE, depending upon the quality of the ammo, verify what Pete just said. Have you ever seen that ammo made by Aguila called Colibri, and Super Colibri? That advertise it as being Eley primed. There is no gunpowder, it is powered only...

George.... Howdy George, Nope, it wasn't me. I got this one a long time ago. I actually found a good deal at, get this, Antique & Modern in Lexington. Those guys get some of the absolute finest rifles there are, and price them accordingly. There was an 84 year old man from New Jersey who...

Landy... Howdy, REEEAAAALLY nice looking setup for testing!! And a fine looking Swindlehurst too! I saw Nesika Chad's thread about that rifle, very nice. Landy, if I had a testing setup like that, I would never get anything done around the house and the Mrs. would end up trying to kill me...

Thanks Jackie! Howdy, First, I want to thank everyone for their info. I now want .222, a .223, a 6BR with a .272nk no trim, a 30BR, and $7,000! And a Red Ryder bb gun with a compass in the stock and.......Not to mention, after I got done laughing at Dick Grosbier's "insert hook, tug slightly...
