This was my first year hunting.
I asked questions mainly to my father but he hasn't hunted since the 80's. Spent a lot of time on the Web reading up as well.
Got my equipment and items and hit the woods. Few weeks went by with no luck. Lots of deer but I just couldn't get them in range of the...
The bolt at the open position is very loose and has wiggle when in the locked position. Minor pitting and rust on the action. I just don't like how loose the bolt feels. I have never owned a bolt action before. I would think it would be tight all around.
Only image I have of it at the moment. Top is a .58 cal with no markings other then .58 cal on the barrel and the bottom is the Firearms International 30-06.
I do believe it is. I found that info out searching google. It looks in fair shape but I know absolutely nothing about bolt actions. I would just like someone to give it a once over and the go ahead that it is in fireable condition.
Long story short I inherited a Firearms International Corp (stamped Washington DC) bolt action rifle in 30-06 from my great grandfather.
I would like to fire the firearm but for safety purposes I want someone that knows exactly what they are looking at to check it over and give it the all...
A little late but I made this the other week. Hangs off a hook on our tractor bucket. Lift the bucket, put the safety bar in place so it doesn't creep down and start the process.
I just got a Parker Thunderhawk.... I love the thing. It fits me well, light weight and extremely accurate at 50yds. (I can but won't go any farther)
Ten Point/Horton/Wicked Ridge and Excalibur have lifetime warranties..... Parker stopped their lifetime warranty in 2012 or so.
The Parker fit...
I've always had good dealings with Cooters Classic Firearms in Darlington. Charged a lot less for a regulated transfer then anyone else and I heard through the grapevine he is now a Class III FFL. Don't hold me too that one though. The business is run out of his home and he is very friendly.
Hardest thing about a quarry or mine is ricochets off rocks, even the smallest of rock will do it. I shoot at my place of employment which is a surface mine and that distinct noise of a ricochet is pretty scary. Happened once and that was all it took. I have since purchased 3 truck loads of pure...
Used FB before and never a problem. Actually went to high school with an employee. Not sure if he is still there or not he was about 6 months ago.

I have a 1919. Wouldn't cycle the low shot at first, stovepiped every other round. Bought a couple boxes of the 3in mag shells to loosen everything up and she runs like a charm now with any grade and type of shell. Also I feel the factory mags are the cause for most feeding/ejecting issues. I...
