      Old ammo, non-corrosive, brass oxidation ok?

      After some googling, I think I have it all figured out but I wanted to fact check myself before I shoot it all... Milsurp Headstamps: (all '54 or newer) 30-06 ball (m2?): TW 54 Lc 65 MATCH (is this 30-06?)* FA 59 MATCH (is this 30-06?)* The brass shell on the match rounds is ~1-2mm longer than...

      Identify this rifle?

      Under the wood, the trigger guard but mostly the outside of the ammo box has a some bright orange rust, I took a scotchbrite, penetrating oil, and finished it with CLP. I tried thick cotton t-shit scrap, penetrating oil, and CLP on the barrel, but there are some small patches that have...

      Identify this rifle?

      Based on all the rust I found, this one is a good candidate for a restoration? A shooter with not much collectible value beyond its functionality.

      Identify this rifle?

      I just had some more time with the gun, safety does not touch the scope and also locks the bolt when engaged, and there is 270 WIN, so at least I now know the caliber. Got it all apart, a bit more corrosion than I was expecting, but it seems to only be on the surface and not too invasive. Any...

      I saw a WTB ad, but I'm pretty sure I am not getting rid of it. Best of luck in your search, and I'll let you know if I change my mind.

      I take that phrase as a good thing. :thumbsup:

      Identify this rifle?

      I was not the original owner. I was already disappointed once by the work done to a Rem Rand M1911. Hope I don't get too much more of that...

      Identify this rifle?

      If I remove the scope, how likely is it that it will return to where it was when I replace it? I read about some older mounted optics are meant to be swapped between guns and the zero is set on the mounts that remain on the gun.

      Identify this rifle?

      That's the problem... the only marking I found without removing anything (screws/optic/etc) was the stamp on the bolt handle. I opened the chamber and found nothing. I am not with the rifle right now. I looked in (what I thought are) the obvious places but found nothing. Try loading some...

      I didn't see any marks, maybe I just don't know where to look. :o

      Dating a Beretta 1915 / 1917 in 7.65?

      On another note, the threaded holes that the grip screws go into may have been FUBAR'd, and the screws used to "attach" the impromptu grips are certainly not correct. So the next dilemma is finding correct grips, and solving the grip screw problem. Brownells only goes as far back as the...

      It actually works, but a little finicky. You have to help the cylinder spin a little. Can't say how well the cylinder aligns with the barrel...

      Shipping handguns via FFL, Lock required?

      Funny you mention that. All the stuff friends or I have accidentally slipped past TSA. I was travelling with the duffel bag that I typically take to the range, and while there were no guns or live ammo, I found several 9mm shell cases after I unpacked at my destination. Apparently I am no...

      Shipping handguns via FFL, Lock required?

      I see. I didn't factor in all the extra precautions into shipping.

      Shipping handguns via FFL, Lock required?

      I might just entirely abandon the idea of shipping out of state, at least for now. Are pre-1985 Freedom Arms mini revolvers (and a raven arms p-25) allowed to be transferred/sold in state?

      Shipping handguns via FFL, Lock required?

      I have shipped 20+lbs of hardware (not gun hardware) in a box, in a flat rate envelope for ~$5. "If it fits, it ships". Does USPS impose any restriction on FFL's or can you ship via any of their services? I would readily cough up even $25 for your services/time and I'll cover the $6 for flat...

      Shipping handguns via FFL, Lock required?

      It would be MUCH CHEAPER to ship the gun even in multiple parts... Cylinder/pin separate from the frame, but I think the frame still counts as a gun... so not legal to do USPS flat rate.:innocent0
