Going to gprippers!

I will as soon as I get some loads made up.

Just did business with TX_GreatPlains and the transaction was flawless and fast. Great communication and fantastic rifle. Great guy to deal with!

I picked up the 6.5 tonight and it was far nicer than TX_GreatPlains even described. Beautiful rifle, packaged well with great communication. I would recommend him and do business with him anytime.

Yes, similar to a micrometer but in a linear fashion.

As a former Master Mold Maker who sold off a lot of my bigger diameter tools such as calipers and micrometers, that is a fantastic deal on the calipers. The problem today is that a lot of people don't know how to use them if they don't have a dial to read. Explaining to someone who hasn't used...

TX is putting up some fantastic guns. Although I have not received the 6.5 yet, he is a great guy to deal with and everything has gone well. I will update when I get it.

In appreciation of Ridge Runner posting up the .444 brass which I really needed, I am posting up a full, unopened box of 50 Nosler .338 250g Partitions. Shipping to conus only. Thanks Ridge Runner!

Two years ago I walked into a local gun shop hoping to find a 45/70. SE PA had just become a "straight walled cartridge" area for deer and I wanted to optimize my local deer hunting with a rifle. On the rack was a beautiful 1984 Marlin .444 that looked like it had never been shot. At this point...

I could really use these. I'll take them on the condition that I have not broken any rules by requesting them since I did get dies recently (but did post up bullets in response). I'll take the .444 brass. Pm coming

TX, I can't hold out any longer. I'll take it.

They are yours. I'll let you know when I ship them.

Posting up a box of 50 Hornady .375 270 grain spire points to repay a debt. Thanks AZDave! A little surface tarnish but perfect otherwise. I only opened the box to make sure there were 50. Shipped to CONUS. Heading out of town tomorrow so give me a few days to get to the post office. Thanks.

I bought a 20g 870 Special Field when they first came out. Great grouse gun but couldn't hit a rabbit with it to save my life. I think the English stock prevented a good, fast, pivot downward to get on a rabbit. I'm sorry I ever sold it and never see them for sale. Good luck!

All great advice here but just to add to Steve and John's comment. Light a candle with a long wick that makes some smoke. Hold the floor plate edges along where the smoke comes off. It will leave a sooty coating on the metal. Lightly tap it into place and wherever there is black soot on the...
