      So Another One Followed Me Home Today...

      740/742 are known for the receiver rails going bad due to them being soft and the lugs on the bolts chewing them up and wearing them out (both my 740 and my 742 show it). Then they jam up and quit working, why you find them out there so cheap. Make sure you inspect the rails on it or at least...

      Posssible sale of a .303

      If it is an military issued Enfield, it should tell you what you have on the Reciever\wrist on the right side. Chances are it's either a No1 MKIII (forearm to nosecap) or No4 MKI (3 inches of the barrel to crown exposed) which are most common.

      Need help Id'ing and valuating an old swiss rifle.

      Built in 1903 then it is a 96/11. conversion date somewhere in the teens. It is a run of the mill 96/11 rifle, it being all matching is the norm for Swiss rifles, nothing special there and they are not hard to get as stated above Century 290, Sog 320.

      Which Swiss Rifle To Buy?

      I just got a M1896/11 from SOG last week. I paid the hand select on her and i am so glad i did. She came in unbelievable shape that i would never of dreamed could be possible on such on old firearm. Other than the typical dings and dents at the stock base she looks like a new rifle. Mine was...

      I bought the same item when i refinished my CZ82, driving the pin out i didn't know to slide out the eyelet and broke mine but i bought two in case I screwed the first one up and luckily for me i did end up cutting the first one short. I would buy another one and do it yourself, it isn't hard...

      Martini Henry Advice

      I have been thinking of buying an untouched also, possibly the set. Haven't yet though but I'm on the edge, I love to restore but they would definitely be a labor of love but a awesome addition to the collection.

      SOGs are not what they say they are, blatant false advertising even if they are selling them for wall hangers.

      Looks like in the photo the forearm wood was once wire wrapped for grenade launching.

      Help me Identify No. 5 Enfield

      to make sure its not a N04 conversion you need to supply better photos, 303 is correct, 5 scallop cuts at the knox, 800 graduating rear site, hollow bolt, both side of the receiver also cut out to lower weight.

      M1917 Eddystone Enfield

      Model 1917 is not a Enfield nor is the Pattern 14, although people constantly refer to them as such, nice .06 congratulations.

      1st build 6.8 or 300blk

      6.8 is an awesome hunting round imo. Mine loves the SSA brand, they offer many different loads and i have never had difficulty finding the ammo.

      Updating my brother's Remington 742

      Buttstock wood is the same for all of the models 740, 742, #4, #6, 74, 7400, 7600. The factory will not tell you this, but they will all interchange. If i remember correctly the 7400 forearm is a little shorter using the uncle Mikes sling swivel screw will resolve this issue. my 742 wears a...

      Quantico vs. Izaak Walton

      Although I live in Rockville, I have been an member of Arlington IWLA for many years. Which is misleading since it is located in Centerville, va. When it comes to IWLA it is second to none in regards to ranges. Trap\skeet-contant competitions if you are into that or want to 100yard pistol rifle...

      When Gutting Your Deer

      I must be the only one that cuts the hip bone (takes 5 seconds) and then cut around the anus and pull everything out in one fluid motion.

      I need to sell a rifle

      If your P14 ERA has a stamped * on top of the receiver\bolt then it should not have the volley sight front and rear anyways, this reflects that it went thru Weedon repair and had them intentionally removed in 1939. The rear usually cut at base than removed. The other parts of the rifle should be...
