barrel straightening Howdy! Big G, thanks for the info, I will check it out! Butch, I made that statement based on something that I was told about Eric Johnson. If I understood properly, the guy told me that Eric would straighten the barrel after each cut. I will call the guy back to verify...

Howdy! I saw a thread regarding barrel indexing last week. I think Jefferson started it, with more to come. I see that Gene Beggs is going to post info when things get back to normal following a funeral. (Deeply sorry for your loss Gene.) This question has been bugging me. Apparently it is...

Wow! Howdy! Those magazines are hard to get because shooters used to put them in a drawer and use the single shot adaptor. There are many out there that some folks don't even know what it is. Generally they fall in the $150-175 range. Somebody wanted that one bad! I can live shooting mine...

Howdy! Does Eley not produce an ammo for colder temps? Would they not change the lube for winter ammo? If they change the lube, would their engineers try to adjust the load to help get the best accuracy? Greg

is there an accuracy 'smith around central Kentucky? Howdy! Thanks again Al! Yup, I guess I am gonna have to find an accuracy 'smith to get a price quote. I am hoping it won't be too bad. Got to keep it as original as possible. Anybody know any accuracy 'smiths around central Kentucky? I...

Howdy! Al, thank you for your input! How difficult is it to duplicate the profile of the original crown, and to match the blueing? While I intend to keep it as a collector piece (if I am able to get it!) I also intend to shoot it. I don't intend to shoot the barrel out, but I intend to shoot...

Howdy! I am looking at a rifle trade. The rifle I want is a heavy barrel target gun, probably of 1930's vintage. I looked at it again yesterday and noticed it had a small ding at the muzzle. Looked at it under magnification and it had pushed a small bit of metal into one of the grooves...

Howdy! They show up frequently on ebay, periodically on gunbroker.com, and more are starting to show up since the CMP sales. Your son is a lucky young man! May you both have a wonderful time creating memories together with that rifle! Greg

I can't believe it!!!!!!! I told this joke to a friend at work today. He IMMEDIATELY walks over and tells it to a blonde. Now, ya gotta get the picture here. This girl is 40. She has kept herself in STUNNING shape. Even has added a couple of surgical enhancements somewhere along the way...

I second the 1413 Anschutz! I have an Anschutz set up the same way. It has what I understand to be a factory bolt adaptor. The bolt knob is machined thru, and the adaptor fits in and wraps under the trigger guard. Works fine. I see these periodically on gunbroker.com, matter of fact, I saw...

gambler Howdy! Yup, the 452 will be customized for a long time to come, and if the 455 shoots, it will be customized too. I checked out the thread from the above link to RFC earlier, they might just do better with the barrel setup than I thought. That barrel attachment method looks better...

Saitiro Hello Saitiro! I had a couple of Schultz & Larson model 70 rifles. They both had what appeared to be the same sight as on your rifle. Keep searching ebay and gunbroker.com, as these sights have, on rare occasion, turned up. Unless you are wanting to keep the rifle completely...

Harry, I read your post, turned off the computer, grabbed my 10 year old little girl's beloved cat, and went to snuggle her and appreciate the gift from God that she, and all children are. There are no words to make it better, but may the Lord bless and comfort you and your family as much as...

steel answer Howdie Jackie! Thanks for the answer! The barrel is a custom, I believe from the 1930's. It is in great shape. Hardly been shot. I intend to shoot it some, but I did not know if it would have any negatives associated to it regarding accuracy. The barrel maker was top notch, so...

Howdy! I looked at a rifle with Nickel Steel stamped on the barrel. Is this an outdated steel, what are the pros and cons of it? Is it supposed to be tempered harder of softer than current steels, or is it a currently used barrel steel? Would it have any advantages or disadvantages regarding...

Collector's item! Gambler, I can only guess that if the 455 shoots good, it's gonna sell. If it shoots no better than a 452, the 452 very well may appreciate in value. The folks with Brno's probably consider them to be higher quality than CZ's. I know from a discussion with one guy who is...

Nope, i don't think i am wrong on this one!! Just went to rimfirecentral.com and checked out a 455. AAAAARRRRRGGGHH!! http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314845 Now the only locking lug is gonna be the bolt handle!!??:eek::mad: Less machining on the bolt handle, and less...

452 getting dropped Howdy! I had a 452 trainer, with the well made sights, didn't care for the stock but that's another issue. Those are WELL made guns! I actually bought it for my son. Long story short, he and I traded, he got a KILLER Remington 513 matchmaster. I swapped the 452 and some...

Canjar = good stuff! Howdy! I have a Canjar on a Remington 37. Very light, very crisp pull. I like it a lot! Last week a PARTS trigger for a Rem 37 sold for $207 on gunbroker. Matt Canjar made good stuff. I cannot imagine that it would be considered a negative to have a Canjar on a 52. To...

good stuff! Howdy! This is the kind of stuff I like! Sadly, if you repeat these jewels to many people, they simply are not equipped to grasp them. Crying shame. Please, post more! Thanks, Greg
