  1. I get acetone from the hardware store. it seems to work great.
  2. People are bidding $500.00 to $600.00 for Remington barrels chamber in 308win and 223.
  3. What is driving the price of Remington 700 barrels on Ebay so high?
  4. Thanks guys for the information. I think this barrel will remain a 7mm-08.
  5. I have recently acquired a 7mm-08 Remington barrel and plan on rethreading for a Turk action. I would prefer to re-chamber to a 7x57 if possible. I know even if I stay with the 7mm-08 I will have to deepen the chamber. Would it be enough to allow for the 7x57 ?
  6. Z, is the 375 H&H in a standard length action? By the way, your work is impressive.
  7. It's by this thought process that some of our best cartridges have been developed.
  8. Reblueing the firearm in most cases will decrease the value.
  9. You did good if you left there without buying! I visited their showroom in 1993 while visiting friends in Prescott. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Beautiful town too.
  10. Vlad, I do alot of things on principle and that doesn't always equate to a financialy sound decision. I would walk in the deal, unless it was something I just had to have right away. If the seller didn't list it properly, or estimate the proper shipping, then the loss should be on him.
  11. Thanks Tinker, that is about what I have come up with too. I disassembled it today and cleaned it. Very suprised at the overall condition. The rifle obviously has not been shot since it saw service. While looking for information on it I found a post with someone discribing the same missing parts. This must have been what had to be removed for them to bring it home.
  12. I purchsed a Arisaka type 99 today for $40.00. The rifle is not complete. It is missing the firing pin, firing pin spring, safety, and rear sight. The mum is complete (not ground off). The person I purchased this from got it from his Grandfather who served in WWII. I'm thinking this may be a war trophy. I'm thinking of replacing the missing parts and keeping it in original conditional. The bore is dark but I haven't put a brush in it yet. the exterior is in very good condition. I don't want to spend more than the gun would be worth. My question is, how much would be a reasonable amount to spend in addition to the purchase price. Does anyone know a good source for parts in addtion to "GPC". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, RWims
  13. If your talking about the Dallas, Market Hall gun show, my son attended that one. He got in line at 8:15AM, the show opened at 9:00AM, and he said the line was already 75yds long. He said by 8:45AM he was feeling real good about where he was as the line had reached about 200 yds long.
  14. Hi Strait Shooter, thanks for the response. I'm thinking this might be the prudent thing to do.
  15. I am thinking about getting one of those food saver vacuum systems to seal my ammo for long term storage. Is anyone else doing this and if so any comments? I'm wondering how the powder would react after being in a vacuum?
