Nice Old Timer. They don''t build them like that anymore. Let us know when you get back from the range. I almost bought one 20 years ago but couldn't get the price right.

"Many of terrific data?" What does that mean?

I ordered two from Midway; different thicknesses. Figured it's cheaper that way with shipping being the main cost.

Thanks, sakodude. I didn't think of Midway. I ordered tonight.

A coin is too thick for this rifle.

Thaks.

For my Win 67. Anyone got one for sale?

The blue is unbad. Stock has been drilled under the pistol grip and about an inch back.

The rifle is simple, which has been pointed out, is more difficult to make. It sold for less than five bucks back in the day and it's nothing "fine", just "good enough." My zero distance is about 15 yards, which I'll get to eventually, and that's about as far as my 81 year old ey...

In period correct shape..."used." Solid but showing its age. A single shot 22, one of the kind you have to cock by hand. The trigger is hard but not awful, just right for a kid back in the 1950s. I can usually shoot around a heavy trigger and so I shot it today illegally out my back door f...

I'm fine, just haven't been posting much lately. I don't want to sound like a FNG, but what is the make/model of the revolver?

That's a very great looking gun in a great caliber.

Mine, in .22 Hornet (of course) has a hard trigger on it. Clean, but about 6 pounds. I've been told it can't be lowered as the trigger is basic...you get what you get. I wonder from you gun guys if the trigger could be replaced entirely. Not with original parts, but with something crafted to fit. So...

My favorite caliber! The Hornet rules. Li'l gun is the powder but it looks like you've got the right combo.

That's a beautiful shotgun.

A nice carbine. If it were mine I would never put a rail or an optic on it, but that's personal choice. Because it would take away from the handling of the piece and gain nothing.

What I like about wax is it isn't greasy. You can clean it off with a cloth. It's (I think) lanolin.

A couple of years ago, I got out of the reloading effort. I sold most of my reloading stuff to a friend who reloads. Anyway, this week I decided to get back into it with what I had left, namely 22 Hornet stuff and 7.9 J. Luckily, my friend had stored the dies and was able to come up with them. In my...

Neat pair.

My first .22 was a cheap pull bolt rifle with a hardwood stock. I shot plenty of squirrels with it but I always as a kid wanted a Winchester or a Remington. I shot a squirrel on Dec 26 and still remember the wonderful smell of rifle powder on a crisp morning. I think I could go to that exact spot to...

My BIL had one he got while stationed in Korea. I used to hunt with it, squirrels. I can't remember who made it, as I recall it started with :KK". It didn't have a safety on it, whether by design or if it fell off. I killed a lot of squirrels with it. A BA gun like your Mossberg would make an i...

That's a fine rifle and it looks perfect. I wonder if they make it in .22 Hornet. No, I don't wonder; I can't afford to wonder.

If I liked the gun a lot, I'd get it rechambered/rebarreled to something useful. I think I remember the barrel is 20 inches, maybe it's been shortened before. Twenty inches seems awful short, doesn't it? The process takes some time and research. You're not the first member of the board to get wooed ...

Sorry about that. I got confused by numbers. I had to delete my entire post as it made no sense. However, what I can remember is the length of 45 mm. That's awfully short for a 7.65 cartridge. With that abbreviated case capacity, makes one wonder why it's got a long range sight on it.

I like lever action .22s. The first gun I ever bought was a Winchester 250, back in 1964. I still have it. And it's in good shape. When I bought it, new, it had a 1/2" scope on it. I'm thinking about replacing that scope so it looks like it did when I bought it.
