  1. That is good news really... as I use Midway 3 times more than Brownells... I have been doing more Milsurp Rifles for the last 15 or more years... But, Started with Handguns of various descriptions.. Still my first love.. from RG to TC... and that is a Wide Berth!!!!!
  2. Sorry Doc...I am Not all up on that kind of stuff...not enough to answer questions about one I dont Have!!!
  3. Good plan on the ebay thing.. Yes I have the original Numbered to the Gun, M&P Magma Grips... but... the way my luck goes..next thing ya know I will screw them up...they are very nice indeed, and since I plan on shooting this piece... I will simply Replace the originals... In Case Murphy comes around.... Again!!!! Thanks for the ebay tip...
  4. Of all the things that can happen to Me!!! I got a Nice set of Herretts grips for S&W, K Frame... But... Of course... mine is a Square butt, these are for Round!!! Anyone want to Trade??? Thanks
  5. Thru the lugs would prolly be less problem then right thru the locking surface, (face) of the lug!!! Yup, I got one like that once.. Nice...pretty sure it came from an almost smith, as the front hole went right into the Chamber of the Barrel, also!!!! BTW that Czech would Not bother me one bit... the 1937 was put there at the factory as it was mfg specifically for Export from Czechoslovakia, in 1937... if it has a "P" serial prefix... it was likely earmarked for Japan.. or possibly ended up in China... like the one I have..which lived a kinda Bad Life.. But, Interesting!! Have ya some fun...
  6. You did better than I ever did on an R.Famage!!! Mine was a terrible mess... then..to make it worser... the original owner..D&T ed the receiver...right thru the barrel... yup... right into the chamber... not bad enough???? the rear hole went right at the damn place where the bolt lug contacts the receiver "ramps"... not very possible to any worser!!!! Or??? Maybe if one tries a bit harder???
  7. Yea... But some things are too true to joke about!!! LOL
  8. Appliance paint on the last one... Fugly, but.. inexpensive and fast... covers all Uglies!!! I Hate Shiney tho, so experimenting now with knocking the shine off with steel wool.....
  9. BTDT works fine... But... Believe it or not... I really like my old Lyman lubrisizer, and checks.. I don't normally push to over 2200fps tho.. Maybe in the .22's... if it aint broke.......
  10. I guess I don't know... I shoot almost exclusively Cast!!!
  11. Horsefly... shame you aint closer to me geographically.. I am becoming increasingly discouraged with this Turk K.Kale... mostly, I do not need/desire anything more powerful than 308...and I already have a very nice one!! My hope is the reamer Co-Op gets going again, and I can set the headspace on that 8mm barrel... the 8X57 may suit me as well as the 35 Remington!!!! Maybe
  12. Not ignoring you... just not had time to really identify the thread... Soon... Appreciate that offer
  13. Great to see activity here... Thanks...and do Not hesitate to tell me how/if I can be of some help!!
  14. very hard!!! It can get discouraging!!!
  15. I sure wish we still had a Kroger Not even a Spartan store anymore... WallyWorld, or Our Fambly...or???? Luckily, still 2 very good Mom and Pop groceries that F'n miserable Dollah Genl ain't pushed right Out!!!! Disgusting state of affairs...
  16. Yea.. if it is going past the rings...I suspect something else amiss!!! Tear down time!!!!
  17. dot 3 brake fluid will unstick it... unless ya feel like waiting for Kroil!!! Wonderful piece of equipment... I would be jealous, except that I have a Tiger cub, in about that condition!!!
  18. K&N or WIX (NAPA Gold) thanks Course... I drive a Ford!!!!
  19. yup...ammo and reloading components are scarce... Black plastic is Strong tho!!!
  20. Cant blame you a bit... Luckily, out in our part of the rhubarb patch, all that B.s. is on the TV and internet..Except for much higher costs...we don't feel Nuthin!!
  21. Don't quit before you give me a shot at a small ring action!!!! And, Digging around some (I have a mess) I discovered a large ring 7X57 barrel... Outside seems fine... Inside... Not!!! If it cleans up I will let ya know!!!!
  22. Wonder if the tenon is that much different '93 to K.Kale??? These two obviously are!!! Thanks for the heads up on 4-D
  23. Man... That is Beautiful... Plenty of $$$ tho... That 8mm Barrel from you is great... except on this particular action... headspace is Much too Tight!!! Gonna need reamed... or try it on a different action!!
