    Any Winchester 1907 aficionados?

    I just acquired a 1907, manufactured in 1908 & I'm trying to find out if Winchester offered them in different grades. This particular gun has exceptionally well figured wood on the forearm, checkering on the grip & forearm & a cheek piece. The pistol grip flares towards the butt & it has a...

    Husqvarna M46 screw size

    I'm missing the front stock screw for my m46. The one that goes thru the forend & in to the rear site, barrel ring. I'm drawing a complete blank on finding out what size it is to buy a replacement. I've tried all the usual gun sources in the US & all i can find its front & rear action screws...

    Local Help Needed Nairobi

    There is an older gentleman on the 9.3x62 owners group, Facebook page. He has what appears to be a very, very well used Mauser 98 & he's looking for a rear prep sight to fit it. My Kiswahili is a little rusty*, but i believe he was trying to explain that he's not been able to find anything...

    Next resurrection......

    Another parts- bin special I'm bringing back to life. I picked up this badly chopped, uncrowned Husqvarna M46 in 9.3x57 to play with. It's barrel was previously cut, trigger was missing & it'd been badly drilled & tapped for scope bases. None of these holes lined up. At some point, a Williams...

    Soldering question....

    I'm getting ready, this weekend, to solder a front sight ramp & barrel band to my 9.3x62 project. I have all the bluing stripped, marked my centerline & have all prep work done. In my head, I was going to tin the inside of the band & underside of the sight, then install them as illustrated in...

    The downtrodden

    I keep seeing (and lusting over) all these stunningly beautiful rifles. Lots of inlays, beautifully figured crotch walnut, engraving etc... What I would love to see is some real, hard working guns. The battered, bruised & physically abused. You'll probably laugh, but amongst my top 3 dream...

    One Big Mother.....

    Back in the glorious days before the pandemic (2020, to be exact) a couple of my friends happened to mention that they had a huge pig problem on their dairy farm hunting lease. Neither of them having a minute's interest in shooting at anything that doesn't have antlers or a fan-tail, they asked...

    Sight height

    I have an old, battered Remington 721 that is currently being rebored to 9.3x62. I've already abbreviated the barrel to 20", since short & handy is more important to me than velocity. It has the factory rear Buckhorn ramp site, dovetailed into the barrel, but the front sight ramp ended up on...
