    The only cartridge I use 760 in is my 6.5x55ai. Have done that since the first shot in an experiment to see what the barrel life will end up at, given that 760 burns at a lower temp. Accuracy is...

    My last online primer order was back in Feb from Blackwatch. They had no issue sending them and I'm RD, and yes they arrived safely. (The journey to me is completed by an NZ Post contractor.) I...

    Woody liked post by zimmer On thread : Airgun Interest
    When I was a kid the predominant air rifle around was the Meteor (introduced 1959) but also common were Gecados. Some Falkes also. I was too young to own my own then so used to go around to an old...

    If you really must have one to satisfy an itch go for the longest sighting radius ie the JC. I presume you have seen the Tardme listing?

    I believe the Sten fired from an open bolt and as such had a captive firing pin, ie the firing pin is part of the bolt head. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. So, not an example that matches the...
