Bought a 1970's era Steyr Model S in 300 H&H. Safety did not function on purchase. Sent it off to Steyr. They had a great gunsmith look it over. He replaced the safety and housing. On inspection he found the firing pin spring had at some point been replaced with 3 springs stuck together. Replaced both firing pin and springs. He also said the model with an extra magazine in the stock was a rare rifle.

The job was done in less than a month and cost about a hundred bucks. Thats great service from Steyr and amazing they stocked vintage parts.

Sounds like a heck of a deal. Great service from them on your classic rifle.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
