  1. Yes, tell us. I would travel to this Mecca just to get my hands on a couple. Back on mute.
  2. Hi Heath, I've had that aluminum Sporter Express trigger guard on my 35 Whelen for the past 6 years and the black enamel, or whatever it is, is starting to chip off. Not too bad yet, but I'm starting to think about fixing that problem. I would check Gun Parts Corp. to see if they have any FN steel commercial ones. I picked one up last summer for a good price. Back on mute.
  3. WOW. That is one beautiful peace of wood. I agree with you about the look of oil on wood.
  4. Very nice. What trigger did you use and what kind of stock? We need more details. Back on mute.
  5. I have no interest in re-arranging my face and I agree that the barrel may be too thin at the receiver. I think I'll start looking at the 8mm-06 or the AI version of that chambering. The 8x63 Swede is interesting. Sailormilan - did you ever look at the 9.3x62 case for resizing to the Swede? Its dimensions are closer than the 30-06 to the Swede. rim dia.... .470", base dia.... .476", shoulder dia.... .451", case length.... 2.441". The case is a little short, but it may grow when it is necked down to 8mm. I cut the barrel down to 26in and recrowned it. I bought new FN commercial bottom metal and I have a new laminated stock fitted. I still need to glass bed the stock and then I'll use Tung oil for the finish. I plan to shoot it in the original chambering just in case its a real good shooter. If not, then I may change it to 8mm-6. (I once bought a Winchester M70 in 338 WinMag because I was planning on rebarreling it to 358 Norma Mag. I took it to the range first and it put 5 250gr inside of 1". I didn't want to mess around with something that shot this good, so it is still a 338WM and I am looking for another action that I could convert to the Norma.)
  6. Would a Turk be safe enough for a 8x68S? I have one with a very good barrel and I would like to rechamber it to something else. I seem to remember reading somewhere and sometime that the barrel thickness for the chamber would be too thin to support the pressure. The 8-06 is an option if not. Not to say that there are any fly's on the original caliber. Back on mute.
  7. is in the land of Nervana

  8. Good luck on that. The 3 M95s I have slug out at .330, .331, and .333. I have brass still on order, so I don't have any loads for you. Back on mute.
  9. Along time ago, when the boys were little and we had two dogs, I would usually have some fun by trying to make the dogs howl. This worked so well that it would cause the boys to join in. The wife called us "just a pack of dogs" and that I was the topdog. So my old network name was topdog. Well, there are a lot of people already using that name. As the boys got older we started taking martal arts classes called Shaolin Kenpo. So then the wife started calling me Kenpo Joe. I thought that this name was better than topdog and that is how I got my User name.
