    52D

    The springs are available from several sources, but what I found, they are for the reproduction 52’s made in Japan. They will work, but are longer and you will need to trim them. Just make it the same number of coils and grind the ends square.

    That would be about the same thing, one is more than none. 🧐 But without a doubt, you should receive something.

    IR 50/50 2024 schedule

    I stand corrected. All I know is there can be as many as three shooters winning, yards, meters and overall. The overall had more bling 💰

    IR 50/50 2024 schedule

    It has always been two three target matches, not six. There is an award for yards and one for meters, then another award for the agg of both, overall championship. Sometimes same shooter wins all three and sometimes there can be three different winners. This time there were two. Overall...

    IR 50/50 2024 schedule

    John, I think Gary won the yards 750-61X and Don won the meters 750-53X. In the end, looks like they both scored the same 1500-113X. Don did win 4 out of 6 targets, but I don't know if that matters. I have posed the question to Jason: he will clarify it soon. Please stand by.;) I remember in...

    IR 50/50 2024 schedule

    John, I have been going to the IR50/50 Indoor Nationals since 2013. Bill Hinegardner was at that time the owner of IR50/50. He was there every match, but he was also the Match Director at that time also. He sold it to Wayne Wills, as best as I can remember, Wayne attended only two Indoor...

    Rimfire Benchrest rifles (Calfee SPEC rifles)

    Tony, what happened to LBK, you know Little Black Knight? This “most iconic rifle in RFBR history” has been MIA for awhile now. Mr. Calfee offered to let me shoot it and compare it to mine, but that never materialized. I ask if it could be sent to the IR indoor Nationals, but never heard...

    Change in rimfire BR over the last 10 years

    First, I would like to thank Kent for starting this very interesting thread. Kent was a great Smith and shooter. At one time I had one of his builds and managed to take it to a second place overall finish, at the 2016 IR 50/50 Indoor Nationals and actually won the meters portion. Now to give...

    State of the Art RFBR rifle (new build)

    Tony, A good reporter must be fair, accurate and objective in his news writing and reporting job. Fairness, accuracy and objectivity are news virtues, which the profession thrives on. Any attempt to compromise any of these values makes a mess of the reputation and credibility of the industry...

    Fairchance reopens for IR 50/50 Matches

    Congratulations Job well done Tony, looks like your batting a 1000 in Pa. so far. Been by that range numerous times, going to Uniontown, but never worked out to shoot there. Kenny went several years ago, he suggested that if you are going to use flags, make sure to chain them to a deeply...

    Chambers for RFBR rifles

    Kent, good to hear from you again. You may want to read this. Tim, I would say, that most of the rifles that Mr.Calfee built were in fact good to go when they left his hands. A lot of why they don't always do well out in the field, has to do with the new owner, not knowing how lot test ammo...

    Chambers for RFBR rifles

    It was a thought, Dexter told me how. I used a mill, wheel cutter and a index head. First and best set I ever cut. I was more nervous doing that, than cutting the chamber. George

    Chambers for RFBR rifles

    How much does it matter I note that most rimfire smiths regard the chamber as the most important part of the barrel. Personally I would disagree. Like you, I am not a gunsmith or a machinist, by any stretch of the imagination. I have chambered a few barrels. The first one I ever did was a...
