As I understand it, Remington is defunct. It was the insurers that settled. Bad decision. Had it gone to court, it is reasonable to expect that the plaintiffs would have lost.
It's kind of a thing, I've always had something that I bough for one reason or another and just never used it. I've got a brand new BAR Mk3 on the wall that always wanted for deer hunting up north. My deer hunting days are pretty much over, the rifle has never been fired, or even outside of...
Those rifles were spoken of as very accurate, but the mags were a bit sketchy...and hard to find. The way things are today, I can't imagine you would have any trouble selling it for a bit more than you paid.
Elmers makes a wood filler that, in MHO, sands very well and takes stain good to boot. You could try the saw dust and epoxy, but the epoxy won't take color.
Correction, "won't take stain" ....there are dyes/colorants that can be added to epoxy to color it. I put new handles on a chefs knife...
I'll stir the pot. Sold my 10/22 and purchased a Remington 597...years ago. It was finicky, magazine issues early on, although I never had a problem I have purchased the upgrade mags. But it is dialed in and will shoot 50yd cloverleafs all day.
I've also got an old Mossy semi that I've...
My last experience back in August was $50. Plain robbery by a guy I've known and done business with for over twenty years. No more. My barber has gone the same route, haircut is now $25, and he doesn't even work fulltime any more.
I don't begrudge anybody who is in business to charge...
As mentioned above, ensure that your agreement with the storage facility allows firearms. My wife's elderly aunt got into a shit storm in Massachusetts when it was discovered she had an antique rifle stored at a one. State police got called, took a whole day for them to figure out she violated...
Just poking around this morning, and stumbled into some talk about Kel Tec discontinuing production of the P3AT. One more production run and it's done. The story went that the 32 cal pistol would still be manufactured, and perhaps some new 380 acp would be produced.
I checked the Kel Tec site...
This place advertises on the Washington Standard website...Get $15 Off Your First Purchase! (Ammo.com). Won't ship to NYC but supposedly will ship to elsewhere. No personal experience.
They would not work on this rifle. It's an old Mossberg bolt gun and the scope mount is a custom item from Havlin's. The mount accepts Weaver style rings, and I suppose Picatinny stuff as well. It's said that these rifles are super accurate. Bull barrel and hand lapped bore. The thing is...
The rings arrived, they do not qualify as "pretty" but it seems that they will do the job. One good thing so far is that the scope sits a little bit lower now. I didn't get to boresight the rig as it was raining, again......
This wet weather this summer is crazy.
Shopping around, I found Weaver, Millet, and Burris make rings that are adjustable. The Weaver rings were the least expensive...not Grand Slam though. And it turned out I had a set of the Millet Angle Locs, but they are some kind of weird silver color. The Burris rings use plastic inserts...
I have a 22 cal rifle that was drilled and tapped for a scope mount. It turns out that the drilling was a small bit off...I ran out of windage adjustment on the scope. I messed around with it for a while and no doubt about it, the mount is not completely parallel to the axis of the bore...
Several years ago I used some GIS software to map the 500 ft radius from the nearest neighbors to where it intersected my property. I've never needed it, but if anybody complains, or John Law pays a visit...here's a picture. I guess it could be done using Google Earth...don't know.
Years ago a bought a Hastings rifled barrel for my Ithaca, yes those sabots are expensive. When shotgun zones went rifle I went with a 77/44. Slug gun in rifle form. A lot lighter too.
