  1. Found a set not cheap but nothing is now a day's
  2. If finding parts for the Hammerli wasn't bad enough I now need to find an original set of grips for a S&W second model 22 target pistol. I missed a set on e-bay awhile back. Does anyone have any or a lead. Thanks Swamprat
  3. I found it a Larry'sGuns.com He is a Hammerli dealer up in Maine. Real nice folks to deal with
  4. I am in need of help finding a magazine catch for a Hammerli model 232 in 22 short. Last part needed to finish restore. All help appreciated. Swamprat
  5. It could not have been without social media. The liberal press did all they could to insure defeat.
  6. Don't know just sort of lost interest for a while. Still collecting guns but into old Winchester 22's. But I still like the old war orphans. How you all been getting along? Swamprat
  7. That was my thoughts also when I read the article. Swamprat
  8. mistake please see other post
  9. Let get this straight. You have an AR-15 they have Smart Bombs and your going to win! Swamprat
  10. Don't worry about not voting for anyone supporting gun bans. When this round is over they will have the guns and you won't have a vote. And God help you if you get caught poaching on King Obama's land. Swamprat
  11. Thanks for the info. The saftey does work by pushing forward it just took some lube to get it freed up. This is the 6.5 version and in my collection of odd ball things I found 3 charging clips and 5 rds of ammo. The stock has a bad age crack so I don't know how soon I'll get to fixing it. Will probably just hang it on the wall with my other missfit toys. Swamprat
  12. Need info on Carcano rifles other than Kennedy Killers. I just received a Carcano carbine with no import marks and all matching numbers. This is what those guys from the picker show call farm fresh. This rifle has not had a great deal of care for many years but is still in pretty good shape. How does the saftey work on this rifle? I can't get it to move! It will fire in present position. Is there a site for Carcano's? Thanks, Swamprat
  13. WWI traveling exhibit was here in Topeka for one day this week. It is part of the WWI museum in Kansas City. If the exhibit comes to your town I would recommend you see it. Took my grandsons and really had a good time. The exhibit has great displays and artifacts. The neatest thing for me was a 1894 Colt machinegun. Tripod mounted and updated in 1914.Didn't know colt made a machinegun in 1894. After the exhibit we went to the Kansas National Guard museum. Talk about some nice shooting irons! They had them on display from black powder pistol's to a captured Russian tank and everyting in between. And it was all free so you can't beat the price. Swamprat
