  1. Speakin of Extractors....If you can Spare a Mauser 98 Extractor...please shoot me a Price. Please Marty Will be looking for additional stuff that can leave here...as I am getting rid of some "stuff" LMK what is needed...besides Receivers..fresh outta them!!! That Turk was the last, excepting them in Original trim...
  2. Have a Turk k.Kale that someone started and bogged down...Bought fairly inexpensively.. Came with a 270 Barrel. I do Not necessarily care for 270, and that darn action wouldn't feed it anyway...Gone! Fooled around with it alot different barrels ...8mm, 7mm, for quite a time... recently decided to screw a "project" 300 Savage barrel on... talk about a SOB to make Feed!!!! Believe me...the Follower is extremely important...on that Turk anyway!!! Feeds like butter Now.. Blasting up some Cast Boolits Now!!
  3. Those are really Not that Hot at all 45ACP's. The original Accurate Guide (red one same vintage as my Powder!!)goes beyound 11 gr of #7... even 10 gr of #5 for what they called +P.. In that 45 Win Mag barrel they are simply a Barrel of Fun...and Never...ever Miss!!! I dislike Powder Coat... On Boolits, and Certainly Not on My Motorcycles!!! But... Each their own, we should All do what works for Us!! Oh My on the 222-223 and steel targets... they make a Mess...and I too have a load with Unique to alleviate such happenings.. We just really like the Accuracy with 748.. they are Destructive.. the 44Mag I have all but given up on in a Contender... Just No Fun!!! In the Blackhawk... or certainly a Ruger 96/44... No Fun Like it!!!
  4. Between me and my two boys, after yesterday. ... We are slap out of 38 Button Nose Wadcutters, over 3.7 gr Bullseye.... 357 158 SWC, over 7.4 gr of Unique..... 357 158GC SWC, over 14.0 gr H110... 45ACP (out of the 45 Win Mag Contender bbl.) 200 CSWC, over 7.0 gr of AA#7.... 222 45 GCFP, over 20.0 gr W748..... 7tcu 130 GCRN, over 15.0 gr H110... All from Lee Molds! and finally 410 reformed from 303 British, 1/2OZ #7-1/2, over 14.0 Gr H110... Gonna be awhile replenishing our supply.... But we sure had a Blast!!!!! Just wanted to share!!!
  5. If they are Card only. Tells me they do Not care about My Business... All Good I go elsewhere. Period.
  6. Last I was in Northern Alabama was very Good.. Louisiana is warmer, but I don't like it quite as well, in some ways.
  7. Wondering aloud if a decent place for that Trail Boss Stuff??
  8. Yes and Yes... the reason I am thinking to leave some of the "ring" on a Rem 700 bbl... I tried a Homemade spacer just to prove to myself it will work!! Thanks appreciate all who care!!!
  9. Right... but... some nimrod, may have moved the front of the C ring Back...for what reasoon??? IDK All I know is that No small ring barrel here, including 2 that came off of other K.Kales, will allow any bolt on the farm to close, properly....the extractors and sometimes the bolt itself, Hit the Barrel...some more than others.. the Bolt that came with this action (gun show) is closest, as only the extractor "drags" During experimentation, I have found that leaving some 8-10 thousanths, (by Menmory, might be different) protrusion on a Rem 700 barrel would put everythin where it belongs. ie moving the c ring forward slightly... Odd? What??
  10. Yes...BTDT...Nope... the barrel is just too far "in" screws in too darn far.. Frustrating... but, again probably an M48 or 24/47 barrel could be an answer... but, if gonna cut threads anyway... a Rem 700 bbl will probably easily be made to work properly.. Another day...
  11. Oh...Maybe I take you Up on that.. But... This Particular K.Kale came to me already "worked over" I fear it may have had the Shoulders (of the Action) both pushed back...Maybe too far.. the Extractors (some of them) run right into the rear of the barrel... what I my try to do is get a rem 700 bbl, and Not take all of the "ring" off. Frustrating darn thing...I should Off it!!! I really Appreciate that Offer...
  12. Impossible... No Way!!!!!! Nice Rifle... wonders why he didn't shorten it, as to my eye full length stocks prefer carbine lengths...
  13. I really like that... A Range report is in order...Tho I would have preferred a Before and After... Good for Ya...
  14. What we got in the Canoe Club was Not what I make... Tho I can, and Have.... I much prefer good ole Sausage Gravy on Homemade Biscuits...

    Turkeys

    Geese have pretty much left here... except "Residents", which are very Few. Turkeys...have always stayed put here.. they move deeper into cover, and Winter it out...sometimes "Yarding-Up" like the deer do in late Winter.. The Last Migratory bird to leave us, is the Blue Heron.. sometimes I wonder if they was gonna Freeze into the Pond Standin there like that.. Never did happen tho. Sittin here wishin them Sparrows (flyin Mice) would Migrate..
