This is Abraham Lincoln`s ax. The axe head has been replaced once and the handle twice, but it is Abraham Lincoln`s ax. I have my grandfathers Omega Seamaster, a present from my grandmother for his 40th birthday (in 1954). I have no clue to as how she managed to save up to buy this. And I...

And if you need a watch telling you date (and day!), do you really need a watch?

Yes, and often it is "made" by hunters.. How one behave and talk and present has a huge effect on the people seeing you. Think before one posts or talks is always vise. I am not saying we should go "woke", but just do a quick check before talking and posting. And if you are to recruit only one...

According to one Norwegian writer the only thing worth borrowing money for was fine guns and hunting. Guess he was single?

1-cars and trucks, do not waste money on them. It is a worse "investment" then anything else 2-shopping habits. Everything from that cup of coffee each day to buying more guns. What is the point of owning 12 nice hunting guns and not afford going hunting? Heed the man with but one gun, he is...

If you do not use it its dead capital, sell it. We own many things, but some things owns us..

yes, uncomfortable. I did discuss with my gunsmith to do something with the stock; but after some thinking-what use do I have for a singelshot 416Rigby? Sold it and built a 404jeff instead :-)

It is all down to stock design and fit. My 458Lott was a firm but not violent push; CZ602 The 416Rigby was tooth-loosening horrible...; Ruger no1 Difference; the CZ had a stock modified to suit in both length, height and with a slight cast-off. The stock of the Ruger was made by a...

Zastava has stopped production of M70s, to expensive to produce.

Very true, having worked in shipping for 32years I cannot belive all the stuff I didn't know about ships propulsion, steering and power systems..

Absolutely not even slightest hint of any need for lubrication.

At this time of the year, getting ready for next winter

Twice, no stress and took 15-20 mins. Just fill inn the form following the instructions, have copies of all required documents, relax and Bob' s your uncle.

Don't wait, move!

Excellent write-up! On breech loading rifles, Norway adopted it's first breech loading rifle in 1842. Picture is of the M1846, the first variant to be produced at Kongsberg.

And you can still hear the birds when enjoying you coffee on the porch on a sunny summer morning.

I have to say that my D2 with the TD5-engine has proven to be a reliable car. It had som issues when I got, all found to be caused by previous owners use of cheap parts. As for wifeys LC 150, it is reliable, but it lacks sharm and soul, one could just as well drive a Volvo. Now, the...

There are 2 truly happy days in the life of a LR owner. The day you get your LR and the the day you get rid of it. I am somewhere in between those 2 :)

With some patience, less then 10 thumbs and pretty basic tools one can convert a military style floorplate to a hinged one.

Rigby

If someone calls themselves gunsmith they should be able to do this..

Are they?

The real advantage of heating with wood is that you are in control. That's why EU politicians hate firewood, they can't control or tax if. Industrialy produced pellets are OK, it can be controlled, tracked&traced and taxed. Their next focus for their hate is growing your own food, the campaign...

Rolex vs Rigby or WR? Easy choice.

You need volume to make money...

No one wants to pay anymore, man is destroyed by cheap mass-produced goods. And expect their cheap mass-produced gun or whatever it is to last forever, increase in value; and they expect the poor bastard that sold it to them to treat them as royalty when it breaks....

If one has good CAD/CAM-files, Machine hours. I have seen it done on a manual mill and was happy I wasn't paying!

I do not really see the collectability in this actions? They are CNC-produced, semi finished products, made with DB, for a gunsmith to co complete to whatever the customer wants.

Your dream, your money, your gun. Build the one you really want! And I could have bought several left-hand actions but didn't. Now they are all gone :-(

American bank system is kind of outdated? Taks 2min online, SWIFT and IBAN and Bobs your uncle

Only cartridge I have found a need for "magnum" primers is the 416Rigby. Below that case capacity a standard primer do the job.

-7C, light breeze and 35cm of snow

-1C, no wind partly clouded. Last three days, 2-3C, constant gale with gusts up to 48m/s (hurricane starts at 32m/s).

I saw Alfred Hitchcock...

The Lyman ( 1200DPS? ) Was good when it behaved but at random it would dispense to much powder, give out its beep and pretend everything was OK. Dangerous. I gave up on it and in a dumpster it went. The RCBS one did not keep zero and would turn it self off at random.

1000loads? If it died after that minimal use I would never ever considr buying a new unit..

Frankford Arsenal Intellidropper. Tried units from Lyman and RCBS, could not thrust them and luckily the both died.

All makers are offering custom dies. I have bought for wildcats from Hornady and Lee, both delivered in surprisingly short time and cost is really reasonable. I have also had a friend make me a set of dies for a wildcat, to know really talented machinists is always a good thing :-)

Someone (Hornady?) makes universal seating dies. Shouldn't be to much of a challenge to make one either, a friend with a lathe and a six-pack might do the trick. It is also possible to make dies of epoxy (using a fire-formed case as master), will not last very long, but long enough to get you going.

If you travel frequently you should see this becoming a problem..

That if I drop my scope/rifle I testfire before continuing the hunt (or take of the scope and use the iron sights).

I believe there is a minimum number of days for a hunt in Tanzania (10?).

How would you fit it? I am pretty sure you wouldn't drill&tap the receiver..

Seriously? Last 3 years I have approx 3-350 flights, domestic and international. I have not lost any luggage, nothing has been stolen from my luggage. 1 or 2 cancelled flights (rebooked with no drama), and 4 over-night delays (again no stress, airline arranges transport, hotels and rebooking).

That can be solved Buy .264"/6.5mm bullets and run them through a push-through sizer. And I now feel a need to bring my 6,5-06-project higher up on my to-do list...

Not sure what you are referring to. 303 mk8z was produced up to late 1990s (for use by Canadians). Last production in UK was early 1960s.
