Re: Zinzer wasn't it!!!!

I bought a bunch of Albanian SKS's with that ugly-ass orange shellac. Bad thing is that most are chipped and look even worse. Didn't those folks know about linseed? <p>Come check out my photos at---.<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=6&uid=926766&quo...

Re: Reread this post

.17 HMR

When the .17HMR 1st came out, a fellow club member showed up with one chambered in a T/C Contender rifle. I looked at his 50yd groups that were about the size of a nickle and his 100yd groups that were in the 1"-2" range, not very impressive. He handed me the rifle and I sat down and shot ...

Re: The Sporterize issue

I put a taller front sight on my 11mm Mauser! I couldn't help myself. I can live with a gun that shoots a foot high at 100yds but this one was shooting 18" high at 50! I live in shame, but I also have a rifle that shoots a 400gr., .446" bullet at 1500fps to the point of aim! oklahomaman. <...

Re: cleaning off cosmo from stock

Just set it aside for a couple of months and it will be all sticky and nasty again. I have a Beautifully figured walnut Turk Mauser stock and a Soviet M44 that have been giving up grease for a couple of years now. I'm not even going to bother with finishes until they are clear but everytime I clean ...
