I'm with you on the .45-70. I have 3 of them just now, always looking for more. as to the M-305, I have it shooting pretty good. I can whack the gong at 300+ yards shot after shot...nothing so...

Hi, I've been away for quite some time, thought I should "re-introduce" myself, so to speak. Been busy, left the country for awhile to go home to visit family. As to the "Raven Story"...
A couple of...

Cool. thanks.

Not sure what that is; what do they do, give instruction on tuning, etc?

Well, finally got it out to the range for some SERIOUS shooting. The Boat-tails sucked; no further info required there. At 100 yards, accuracy is ok, not spectacular, but meat on the plate with every...

Yeah, I hear ya, Vietnamcam, I typically hunt only what I plan to eat. Ravens are a bit of an exception; they are hard on baby birds, and other animals. My brother-in -law actually had a Charolais...

I know the Airdrie area somewhat; a good friend of mine lives there; I have been in the Bass Pro Shop one time, in October 2010; the wife about had to drag me kicking and screaming from there! A guy...

Wow, pretty good sized operation you have! When I was a kid in Montana, we had lots of gophers; none here where I live now. Too cold, I guess. I wish someone would import a few; they are lots of fun!...

Hi, thanks, all. Yes, Toby, I have shot moose; a great animal to hunt, especially in the rut, when you can call them in.

Where abouts did you live, Bryan, when you were here?

GJ, what did you...

I was looking around on the 'net for some M14 info, and here I am......

Howdy, all, great site. I am in Northeastern British Columbia, still in mid-winter here, with lots of snow. I usually shoot black powder cartridge rifles and revolvers, but also like military rifles...

I started my little girl out on a .22 when she was about 8, (a BSA Martini with peep sights) when she was about 25 she shot my Ruger #1 .375H&H. Last spring at our gun club game dinner I bought her a...

More than I need, but less than I want!!:D

Some calibers don't perform as well with shorter barrels. That being said, when you shorten a barrel, it is advisable to crown the muzzle; this ensures a clean and square cut for better accuracy....

Well, at long last I got to go out and try out my new gun. Best $400.00 I ever spent on a gun. It shoots way better (tighter groups) than I was expecting. Performed flawlessly, shot well using...

If a guy can do most of his own work, it isn't too bad, as a rule to accurize a rifle; I have been doing my own accurizing for many years, and sometimes I get carried away with the parts. Then I add...

Lol, yeah, he frozen north; the land of major snowfall and -40 temp! But, beautiful summers! And good hunting, I might add!!

Well, I live about 700miles Northeast of there, so shipping was only $28.00 and change. I know I am a long way from most of you folks, but it;s about the guns not the locale, right?

I didn't file the sears; just used Arkansas stone on them, make them a bit smoother. Gotta watch that; can't put back what ya take off!!

Yeah. I hear ya. Things go sideways......

No, never thought to take pics, but suppose I could take a few tomorrow. Remind me if I forget; I do have a pretty full day, have to go to the next town up the line and get my truck from the repair...

Well folks. I decided to get off my lazy keester, went out to my little man cave, stripped it down. Lapped the op-rod and ways, lapped bolt lugs, ( head space was quite tight) lapped the bolt slide...

Thanks, all much appreciated!

Yep, will do. These guns are about as rough as they are cheap. Cycling the action, pulling the op-rod back feels like it is full of sand. Once I resolve the safety issue with the seller, I am going...

Thanks, all! Appreciated. As to the reply to try it in a different gun, it a;so wont work with the triggergroup removed; I cocked it and it still won't let the safety engaged. Luck of the draw, I...
