      Firearm Sins in Movies

      Because of the way you install a drum mag. The bolt has to be locked back for the drum to be inserted and releasing the bolt to let it go forward would either fire the weapon, or leave it in a very unsafe condition.

      Go with the Traditions, especially if it's a flintlock. What caliber is the traditions?

      Black Powder firearms discussion

      The brass can be cleaned up with a bit (perhaps a lot) of polishing. The rust around the hammer can also be taken care of. When (if?) you go back, take a bore light and see how the rifling looks. The price is not bad if the bore is in good shape. The condition of the brass is fairly normal...

      HELP! Which rifle to buy?

      Don't you have that backwards? I'd rather have the .308 for large or dangerous game, and something that would be cover from the .223 could be reduced to concealment from the .308.

      Good youth bolt action/first rifle.

      How about the Ruger American Rimfire. Get the short (16.5 inch, I think) barrel version and put the short butt stock insert on it for him. Then if (when) you want to take it out by your self, swich out for the longer stock. Edited to add: I'm not sure how well it would handle .22 shorts...

      Anyone own a PTR91?

      The port buffer is a device that attaches to the receiver in such a way as to act as a bumper for casings during ejection. There are at least two on the market, the HK part which works fairly well and a third party version which can cause jams. From my experiance, it is not needed. A friend has...

      Anyone own a PTR91?

      About the brass. I'll take some photos of my recovered brass. It's PMC and very much reloadable. I have no doubt that the number of reloads will be less that I'd get from the same brass fired in a bolt action, but I should be able to get several reloads. This does require finding it however...

      Anyone own a PTR91?

      I have no trouble with mine. The recoil is no worse using the collapsible stock, and there is no discomfort in the cheek weld area. As a matter of fact, I don't notice any more recoil from my PTR-91 than I do with my AR (a Stag M2). As I mentioned before, PM me and we can make arrangements to...

      Anyone own a PTR91?

      I have a PTR-91 Classic with wood furniture. I could not be happier with it, it was on at 50 yards out of the box using the 200 meter aperture. The ammo I was using is PMC Bronze. No failures of any kind. Here are a few photos. First, the rifle as received. Next, with the collapsible...

      PTR-91 Classic with wood furniture.

      Thanks. Once I have a chance to work the stock and hand guard over with a few coats of True Oil, I'll post a few photos to update this thread.

      Why so Few Flintlocks?

      How much are you willing/able to spend on the rifle? Flintlocks are addictive and great fun. There are a few things to keep in mind when gearing up. First, you need to realize that you will have to purchase real black powder, none of the substitutes will work. Their ignition temperature is...

      PTR-91 Classic with wood furniture.

      Just thought I'd post a bit about my PTR-91 Classic. The availability of spare parts and magazines for this rifle are fairly good to great. Just have a look at HK Parts or RTG Parts to see what I mean about the spare parts. And I know where I can get magazines for $1.80 each, shipping...

      PTR 308 or DPMS Panther 308

      My choice would be (and was) the PTR-91. Parts availability and magazine availability for the PTR are great. Most (if not all) G3 parts on the surplus market will work in the PTR, you just need to keep an eye on the US parts count. I'm getting ready to place an order for 100 G3 magazines...

      peep sight recommendations for a Win 70

      I have a sporterized '03 Springfield that has a Redfield aperture rear sight and you will like how a peep sight works. The sight on my rifle is out of production, but you should take a look at this sight. The folk at Brownells will be able to help with the correct front sight as well. Hope...

      Best SAA Clone?

      I have an EMF Hartford in .45 Colt and could not be happier with it. I also have a Rossi M92 in .45 Colt, a real tack driver and smooth funtioning.

      .270 vs. 30-06 vs. .308

      Even though the OP is from 2010, I voted .30-06 because of the versitility. With hand loads, it can be used for small game when loaded with a .310 round ball and for Moose with a good 200+ grainer.

      Where to buy clips?

      It's been a while but, if I remember correctly, the total (including S&H) was either $14.00 or $16.00. Under $20.00 for sure. Even at $20.00, that works out to two for a dollar.
