    Any Hi-Power shooters out there?

    Nice pistol. I suggest, do yourself a favor and get an original Belgium manufactured Hi-Power P-35. If that is a bit heavy on the wallet, a Springfield SA-35, smoothed up, will make you smile as well. They just shoot well.

    Any Hi-Power shooters out there?

    Is that nice pistol a Rennaissance model? And the ring hammer blued steel old warhorse gets it done on a big snake. Bravo!

    What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

    My LGS has the Ruger #1 in 275 Rigby, in stock for $2100. Hasn’t sold yet. I have not handled this particular rifle, but another one a few months ago. Really nice.

    Cz? Bauska

    Les Bauska was a barrel and gun maker in Kalispell Montana. He’s was very well regarded. I have seen online pictures of rifles he built on Brno actions and others. I believe an AH member has some.

    What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

    Ruger Marketing should consider a premium line, leveraging the name, William B Ruger Classics. Manufacture a premium line and charge for these excellent suggestions. Hell, they don't have to pay for focus groups, market research and bullshit PowerPoint Presentations. Ruger Firearms could...

    School me on .416 taylor

    I suggest you first get some loaded ammo from Hendershots, Superior Ammo or other custom loaders. Test your rifle for function and chronograph these loads. Get 3 reloading manuals and read all three for the process of reloading. Each cover the basics but offer some finer points on their own...

    Ruger RSM 458 Lott Stock

    I’ve owned a few of the RSM rifles, that were bedded properly from the factory. As others have stated, relieve the tang area and have it glass and pillar bedded at the tang, and careful attention to the forward recoil lug assembly. Find a gunsmith that understands the Ruger bedding system. My...

    What would you do to a brand new Winchester Model 70

    PTG Oberndorf bottom metal, an extra extractor, (I liked the Williams extractors but discontinued). An extra bolt stop release spring, as the newer M70 Portugal models have weak springs that will break. I've replaced one already on a 7x57 FN Portugal.

    Classic Airplanes

    NAS Pensacola Aviation museum has examples of these, as well as Fokker D VII and Spads VIII. Amazing that pilots flew these wood and fabric planes into combat.

    Classic Airplanes

    Great stuff you have shared @Red Leg . Thank You. If we could teach the younger generations the bravery, grit and valor of this generation, our country can be stronger. The B-25 has been one of my favorites to see at CAF airshows.

    45-70 ammo

    Comparative prices in USA for 45-70 Federal 300 grain SP are $35/box USD, before shipping. African prices are a variable, but at least you have the ammo. This ammo was very accurate in my Marlin 1895 with 22-inch barrel. Let us know how this works for you.
