Weekend Gun Thread
The new non-NFA pump-action 12 gauge includes a 15-inch barrel and 10-shell detachable box magazine as standard options. Announced Tuesday, the latest addition to Mossberg’s constantly growing Shockwave line is the 590M, blending the standard Raptor-gripped platform and its 27.5-inch overall length, with the company’s new series of detachable double-stack magazine offerings. While a single 10-shot magazine comes with the heavy-walled firearm, optional five, 10, 15 and 20-round capacity mags are sold as accessories.20 round mag? How effing cool is that?
The news that Justice Anthony Kennedy has retired from the Supreme Court is sending liberals and progressives into a panic. Kennedy has of course been the key swing vote in abortion and gay rights cases. Whether those cases will withstand a new Supreme Court with five core conservatives is a serious question. But there is another area of Supreme Court jurisprudence that may also be dramatically affected by Kennedy’s retirement: the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has only ruled in favor of an individual right to own guns in two decisions, and in neither one did Kennedy write his own opinion. He did, however, make up one of the five votes in both 2008’s D.C. v. Heller, and 2010’s McDonald v. City of Chicago. Both cases invalidated complete bans on possessing handguns in each city. The Supreme Court has not, however, returned to the Second Amendment since McDonald was decided, despite thousands of lower court cases wrestling with the balance between the right to keep and bear arms and public safety.
Speaking of fake experts...........
When purchasing a firearm, has this ever happened to you? Nah, didn't think so.....
Loaded for bear, both black and brown.
As Bob told me when preparing for the hunt, there is a big difference between killing a bear and stopping a bear, and in the thick willow and alder jungle of coastal Alaska, you may very easily have a brown bear rear up out of the brush inside of twenty yards, or have one appear at your bear station seemingly out of thin air. “They make very little noise when they circle a bait station, and while the common .30 calibers have been used to hunt them, I personally prefer something a bit bigger,” Jewett related, and I personally agree with him. As you’ll see, I’m not alone in my choice of caliber, as well as the setup of the rifle. Let’s begin with the guide’s rifles, and move onto the client’s.

Hypothetically speaking. If you have a hypothetical friend with a hypothetical Ruger GP-100 .357 who wants to shoot hypothetical .38 Special rounds, what would you recommend if you hypothetically shot this particular round?
About a thousand rounds.

You mean you want ammo recommendations?
Well, I'd say get thee to ammoseek.com and find the best deal, buy a case (or 2 or 3). If it's just general plinking/practice/etc., doesn't much matter which exact kind you get. Cheapest will probably be commercial reloads.

Yeah the country is dumbed down beyond recognition, and the judiciary is largely a farce, but there is no "wrestling" about a balance between the 2A and "public safety".
If that were ever actually applied as a test by a court - and it shouldn't be, it's a policy question, for the elected branches - then a serious court (yeah, I know) would reject *ALL* current "gun control" laws, possibly save a small handful.
Any thinking person of course laughs at the idea that such things as, for example, CA's idiotic "features" restrictions on AR-style platforms could even theoretically have any impact on "public safety". Does a pistol-style grip actually affect public safety, by itself? It's absurd.
But you can turn to things that even 95% of gun-nuts will treat as "sure, that makes sense" - like 10-day waiting periods, or even background checks, the most basic restriction - and a serious logical analysis leads to ...... oops, probably zero net impact on public safety from every gun law, from the NFA to the GCA to today's ridiculous morass of state laws.

Here's Rhomboid's Godson: https://flic.kr/s/aHskDP1Qz9
A surplus all steel 13rd blowback CZ83 in a lady's caliber. The slide was worn but not pitted on the billboard so I refinished it today using Kleen-Bore Black Magic over Birchwood Casey 14130 Plum Brown. I have had good success using the Plum Brown first to establish an even oxidation as a base for the blue/black to follow.
These were on sale last week for $229 at AIM surplus so, a total of $264.94 into my hands makes it a dollar less then what I paid for my CZ82 back when I had a C&R.

If you're looking for 38spl rounds for "home defense" (always pronounced with a heavy southern drawl, to be correct, IMHO), as someone else said just above, stick to standard pressure rounds.
The +P usually doesn't produce much except larger recoil, in terms of likely outcomes.
LuckyGunner dot com has a great section in which they report results of their own extensive ballistic (gel) tests on self-defense rounds in all the major handgun calibers. When topping off my stock of such ammo last year (before CA's latest idiotic law, which hassles online ammo buyers, went into effect), I consulted that source and others to refine my choices.

Worked out a deal for a friend on the weekend. A gun shop was selling an M2 .50 with mount. He is unfamiliar with these and a poor negotiator so he asked me to do the deal with the gun shop on his behalf. As I knew exactly what price the gun shop acquired the .50 a year earlier down to the freight and all the wee faults with the gun (nothing really but the sales staff are also unfamiliar with the gun) and I managed to get a sale for only the original purchase price. Score. My friend was very pleased and the money he saved he is taking off the price of a 1919A2 and a Vickers gun he is selling to me. Basically I will get two guns for next to nothing. A good weekend.

This week is a odd duck rifle which no one seems to know exactly how it came to be. I will take it to the range again this week and try and blow it up. (just kidding)
It is a Carcano TS carbine in 7.9mm. Made in 1941 with the RE Terni stamp, it is exactly like it's cousin the Carcano TS carbine in 6.5mm except with a reinforcing recoil lug in the stock just forward of the chamber as well as a large "S" on the chamber and bolt handle.
It shoots well and is very accurate, but there are no clips to be found as in the 6.5 model so it is reduced to a single shot rifle.
The back story is muddled with hate, rumors, lies, distortions and out right banditry as to how these came about and the reason for them. To add even more mystery, it shoots fine with commercial ammo, but fails to impact the primer hard enough to detonate actual german surplus ammo dated from the 40's, even after putting a new firing pin spring in it and which work fine in my Vz.24
I have put a few hundred rounds through it and she has shot like a champ. I am thinking of writing Ian at Forgotten Weapons and Bloke on the Range to see what they can unearth about these Carcanos from another mother.

Ok, on the .38 special question for your 'friend', I'm going to actually recommend 158 grain SWC standard pressure rounds. As long as you don't need to deal with barrier penetration, they are sufficient for social occasions and also affordable for training.
If you really feel you need hollowpoints, A +P 110 grain HP is pretty good. Buffalo Bore and Remington are my favorites.
Avoid Magtech. Dirty and inconsistent ammo.

Grump, you da man! Nice job. Humbled by the tribute.
But fellow Morons, don't sweat the "lady's caliber" thing - if you like .380, get one of these nice cheap well made Czech items. Easiest natural little shooters I've ever shot.
Most concealed carriers seem to want something smaller profile/lighter, but those who can carry other than sub-compact guns should consider it. And for open carry, it's very nice (technically I open carry while on duty at the range, and I know use the CZ-83 for that).

Gonna have to dissent from the view of my dear colleague from (somewhere in the NW), Mark Andrews - on the Magtech thing.
Haven't bought much commercial ammo for years, but the Magtech I used in the past was always perfectly good. Handgun calibers. Feito no Brasil, like my Springfield 1911.

Just remembered yesterday is the start of a year long permit you can purchase from the Pennsylvania State Game Commission to use one of their public shooting ranges. If you have a State hunting license you can use them with that. I was thinking of doing it to fire my musket . It last year was $30 and lasts a calendar year from June 30.

Gun review #1: The good.
Star BM 8 round 9mm.
So I celebrated having new job by, of course, buying more guns when I already have a storage and shooting problem for the collection I already have. But I digress.
The gun came in clean and looking good, a few scratches on the exterior aside and the front sight needs some nail polish for visibility and to cut down on a strange 'bright' spot on the right side of the front blade.
The gun feels good in hand, very good. It was VERY accurate, surprising me. Not as good as a Tokarev or a Makarov but very good groups. (Ammo was Fiocchi 115 HPs for both guns)
Take down was easy, re-assembly...not so much. God, I'm spoiled by how easy Glocks and Springfield XDs disassemble and reassemble. I had to rattle and wiggle the pistol to get the slide stop reinserted. I'm really not a fan of the 'remove slide stop' disassembly, even on my CZs.
But the gun was fun to shoot. It's a great range toy and I'd even reccomend it as a carry gun if you don't mind having just 8 rounds single action, the all-steel construction makes the the recoil very manageable. But...a double stack Glock 19 pistol will easily double the capacity and weigh less.
One warning, this gun will hammer bite you. Especially if you want to fire it like a 1911, 'riding' the safety. The beavertail is too short to really let you choke up on the pistol and I do not have large hands.
So...yeah, overall good. I'm liking the Star BM.

A few years ago on a very good gun forum some guy from your neck of the South Pacific posted photos/descriptions of his CZ collection.
Everything they ever made, including machine guns.
It was stunning.

46 Gonna have to dissent from the view of my dear colleague from (somewhere in the NW), Mark Andrews - on the Magtech thing.
Haven't bought much commercial ammo for years, but the Magtech I used in the past was always perfectly good. Handgun calibers. Feito no Brasil, like my Springfield 1911.
Posted by: rhomboid at July 01, 2018 07:23 PM (QDnY+)
You're lucky then.
I will say it fires fine, no feeding or real reliability problems (unlike Tulamaxx) but the lot I have is very dirty and I've had several underpowered rounds. Not full squibs but worrisome for me.
But yeah, I'm just one data point

NZFrank,
A friend's son was down there for about a year a while back.
Guiding out of a lodge that is run by a Mowri (sp? ).
They want him back real bad but the pay isn't worth the hassles.
Plus he's finished up his dual degrees in Wildlife Mgmt and business.
He did say it was a hunting and fishing paradise.

Hypothetically it depends on your purpose. For targets any plinking ammo will do although I favor 38 wadcutters for that. Even in a 357 Redhawk, which makes the GP100 look like a toy, it shines with those wadcutters.
For more potent purposes I would go with lighter bullets, usually semiwadcutters, at higher velocity or the traditional 158 grain cast or jacketed. They have over a century of proving how deadly they are and won't leave you permanently deaf if shot without hearing protection in an emergency.
That's my hypothetical opinion, for what it's worth.

Gun review #2: The bad and arguably ugly
The Zastava M88
I got the Star BM AND the Zastava M88 from Classic Firearms for about $200 a piece. The Star BM was a bargain. This one is dangerous to rely on and not reccomended.
It looks fine, sort of like what might happen if a Tokarev and a 1911 had a baby. With wooden grips. NOT that there's anything wrong with that...
Let me give some good points first. The safety was easy to actuate, the sights easy to pick up and...it's....cheap. That's it.
Despite being a single action pistol, the trigger here is long, heavy and inconsistent. Not a trigger for precision work but MAYBE functional for military usage. It made it hard for me to get good groups, in sharp contrast to the Star BM.
The real death knell for the pistol was the magazine. It keeps ejecting with every shot fired. It wasn't me pressing the release button, it did with one handed, left hand and right hand. Every. Single. Round. It's a single shot pistol, as now.
It is possible the problem is the magazine itself, maybe I can monkey with it but I'm very disappointed. I quit trying to shoot it and switched to the Ruger P90 for the rest of the range session.
Sometimes $200 isn't a bargain, sometimes it's just $200 lost.

NZFrank, thanks. Well you certainly are in the same class as that guy, what with your belt-fed toy collection. Very impressive.
Have only spent a month down your way (most of it on the South Island trying to maim or kill myself in the usual ways with various outdoor adventures), but of course loved it.
Don't think gun ownership is encouraged or widespread. You obviously have a professional involvement, so different world for you.

Gun ownership is in our DNA, its just that we have a filthy leftie media, a Coalition of Losers govt, and a increasing anti-gun police force. We are being invaded by senior English police officers on retirement postings, who cannot believe we have lots of guns and therefore coming from the UK "something must be done. For the children."
Get out of the cities and you were find that we are really the biggest bunch of bubbas you will find. Guns everywhere. We were called the Prussia of the South about a 100 years ago.

#Failifornia at its most predictable
yesterday was the deadline to register your "assault weapons", assuming you didn't render them "featureless" and/or are stupid enough to tell the fascists you own such a thing, so them can demand them when the get around to making them illegal... as they did when they said a certain type of SKS was legal, if registered, then changed their mind and said "turn them over suckers!"
pro tip: if you still have something they think you shouldn't, just separate the upper and lower, and presto, it's legal.

I have a GP100 with a 6 inch barrel and a S&W65 with a 4 inch barrel. I reload both 357 and 38. With the various loads I have tried; where accuracy is concerned, the Ruger likes 38+P 125 grain bullets the best and the S&W likes 357 158 grain semi-wad cutters the best. Every gun is unique in terms of what it digests best. At least tht has been my experience. My Winchester 1894 model is most accurate with any 357 load I create.

I saw the Solo 'movie'.
1. It was a serial, not a movie
2. The grrl power stupidity insisted on itself (every episode had to have a kickass!!grrl in it, who would subsequently get herself blasted into component particles)
3. L3 the marxist rob-ette was tiresome, fortunately it/she got dismembered too
4. What the fuck is Darth Maul doing here? He'd got himself cut to bits in the first movie when it was a (failing) Republic. But this is supposed to be Imperial times.
Besides that I thought it was the best of the three NuWars movies so far (I haven't seen The Last Jedi). I cared about some of the characters who got shot and/or disassembled. It was funny. I liked how young Han's plans always fuck up until the end - so, there's a real character arc here. He also gets more Harrison Ford like toward the end.

Based in 'internet research' it may be the magazine. But looking at the mag, it looks fine. Unused, in fact. It's not mangled or anything.
I have a support call in to Classic Firearms to see how much help I can expect from them. I'm not going to spend more money on this pistol if I can help it.

So, continuing a discussion few days ago with Tom Servo and SmackMyHead, what would be the best option to conceal a Ruger LCP on a leg holster? Something like the Bug Bite? The number 1 consideration must be complete concealment, no printing. Number 2 is that it can never ever fall out of the holster.

Sorry Hogmartin , cross post. For the most part gun ownership is a vote loser if you threaten it as a politican/cv*t . But they are like rust and never sleep. There is push back by most shooters against any overt gun grabbing bollacks, but the schools are the problem. Few male teachers so kids, unless rural, have no exposure to shooting. The most southern province basically shuts down for opening duck shooting weekend and the big gun stores radio advertise all the time, and a lot of small tv shows are now into the NZ hunting and fishing. The cities are blank on guns and for the most part apathetic unless the media stirs the pot.

Switch out the magwell to the Glock compatible one and pair it with a Glock 17 or Glock 19. Winner!
I want a PC carbine so bad, but it has to wait until after I get an AR-15. I own a couple of AK's but no AR's, so I have to fix that.

GP 100's ideally use jacketed or plated bullets--the forcing cone angle is a bit different (shallower) than S&W or Colt and is designed to shoot these.
That being said, plated 148 gr. Berry DEWC wadcutters shoot very--very accurately. Lead wadcutters can do so as well but whether or not you get significant leading in the barrel if you shoot more than a box depends on your particular "Jeep".
If you do have bore leading, suggest the Lewis Lead removal tool as superior to almost anything to remove lead without noxious solvents.
Harder linotype bullets lead less than dead soft lead bullets.
Hypothetically.

Hairyback Guy,
If your Carcano fires a true 8x57 Mauser cartridge (aka 7.9) mm then it was "probably" converted either from a 7.35 or 6.5 Carcano.

" ... what would you recommend if you hypothetically shot this particular round?"
1. Shoot a lot of wad-cutter & semi-wadcutter rounds: cheap, low recoil ... makes development of accuracy easier. Move up to higher power loads later. Further, there are a couple of YouTube videos that make the case that wad cutters and SWCs actually make very good defense loads: just enough power, but much more controllable and quicker to shoot accurately a second & third & fourth time ... I think these guys might be correct.
2. Shoot double-action only. There are a couple of YouTube videos that make the case that DAO really is a better choice than first pulling the hammer back with a thumb. I think these guys might be correct.
3. Shoot single handed as well as with both hands.
and
4. Shoot weak hand as well as strong hand
... if things suddenly go wrong, you never know how you will be holding the firearm.
5. Develop strong hand technique, accuracy, etc. first, but don't wait too long to develop weak hand ability.
6. Develop any and all draw techniques AT HOME, with good privacy, with an unloaded firearm, and potentially with a couple of speedloaders of snap caps. Verify this.

I've used Speer Gold Dots for my 9mm defensive pistols for years. But when I got my TX LTC a couple of years back, I wanted a 9mm singlestack for concealed carry. Went with the Kahr CW9. VERY pleased with it, except for one thing. It hangs up about every other round with the GDs. Something about the bullet ogive just perfectly matches with the chamber to lock the gun up when loading.
Once I realized that the bullet profile was the problem, I tried the Hornady Critical Duty and Defense rounds, and the pointed bullet in both variants fed perfectly in the Kahr. Currently have the Critical Duty +P, but that's mainly because they were available at the time.
Funny how some guns are picky.

One last thing for the O/P
The old FBI special 158 gr .38+p is very mild in the GP 100--what you want is a dead soft lead bullet with a bit hotter powder load than normal. Remington and Winchester used to load this in commercial and Buffalo Bore sells a variant of it. Marshall and Sanow rated this load about comparable to .45 ACP hardball in stopping power FWIW.
If you want to step up to the .357--Corbon sells a 110 gr hollow point or the 100 gr. Powrball that have light recoil (but pretty spectacular flash and noise) and send the bullet on its way at about 1400-1500 fps (4 inch barrel) with really nasty terminal effects without over penetration. The std. 125 gr. from Remington, Winchester, and Federal .357 jacketed hollowpoint at 1400-1500 fps from the major brands also does not kick that bad in the GP but does have spectacular flash and boom. Have not fired the .357 HST rounds in this caliber but these are generally good across the board. The old Golden Saber .357 load (replaced with a more expensive bullet name) also work pretty well (except on FBI barriers with jacket separation an issue) and CDNN did have clearance prices on these
Last, but not least, Supervel which now has Corbon's Peter Pi as designer is back and has some rounds that I have not tried personally. High velocity and minimal recoil is what made Supervel famous in the day and the relaunch of the brand promises that with better bullets.
You can also handload producing a 1250 fps 125 gr .357 -P (joke) using Titegroup that works pretty well. Minimal flash and boom compared with the hotter factory 125 gr. loads.
The pipsqueak load is the old .38 special Federal Nyclad 125 gr. if you can still find it with low recoil and good expansion without leading. This is particularly good in lightweight snubbies with people that do not like much recoil. Using coated bullets, I suppose that you could use powdercoated or Hi Tech coated hollowpoints to handload a match if you wanted to.

You can also handload producing a 1250 fps 125 gr .357 -P (joke) using Titegroup that works pretty well. Minimal flash and boom compared with the hotter factory 125 gr. loads.
The pipsqueak load is the old .38 special Federal Nyclad 125 gr. if you can still find it with low recoil and good expansion without leading. This is particularly good in lightweight snubbies with people that do not like much recoil. Using coated bullets, I suppose that you could use powdercoated or Hi Tech coated hollowpoints to handload a match if you wanted to.

In the market for a new gun. Well, new to me. Trying to decide on another 1911 or a SMLE.
Though, I'd prefer both.
I want the SMLE to shoot in vintage rifle matches.
However, I'd really like another Kimber.
Though, for the price of a Kimber I can probably buy the SMLE and enough ammo to last for a couple of years.

What is the opinion of the horde on Inceptor ammo?
Posted by: Jb at July 01, 2018 08:43 PM (MqTga)
It's not bad ammo. It just... makes bad decisions.
I kid, it's probably fine. There was a bit on it in American Rifleman before it was released commercially. I think they said it was developed to be an effective frangible projectile for use in polymer cases for countries where police don't like using brass cartridges because criminals reload them or something like that. Which didn't seem to make much sense, because if they can get weapons, why can't they get ammunition in the same shipment?
My impression overall is that it answers a question you're unlikely to ask if you have ready access to good quality JHP brass-cased ammo like Speer or Hornady. There's nothing really wrong with it, I just don't see that it offers any advantage to an American shooter over ordinary old-fashioned earth gun murderbullets.

Another useful Carcano website that has been around for a long time

Posted by: whig at July 01, 2018 08:34 PM (jWFXC
Thanks whig! What I have found is many explanations but no hard evidence of who, what, where and why.
There is a theory that the Eyeties made around 10,000 "special" carbines in 7.9mm but wartime pressure and supply deep sixed it so they just warehoused them. Also, the Germans did convert some towards the end in 1945 but very few and they are stamped with the waffen marks and are very rare to find.
Another theory is the Israelis bought them sight unseen but then sold them through straw men to the Arabs as the Israelis landed a bunch of Czech mausers instead.
Another theory is these were destined for the Russian Front but Stalingrad put all that to an end.
As for the clips, no one seems to have one although there are pictures of one on the interwebs but just where they all went no one can say.
The mystery deepens.

I have an immediate question for folks who have hunted with black powder pistols.
1858 Remington in 5 1/2" .44. Shot a groundhog (to protect myself, of course) in the eye at about 15 feet. It did NOT rip out the other side of the head, as was expected. In fact, the exit wound was pretty much the entrance wound.
Not enough bone?
I've blown parts off animals with a 7mm mag, and expected more expansion with soft lead. Wha' happened?

Honestly, I'm not impressed by the heavy ordnance where black bears are concerned. Look at the bears in the pictures. I don't think either is 275 lbs.
Somehow, setting up a bait station to kill a 250-300 lb. black bear with a .338 Win mag doesn't sound even slightly appealing to me.
I could do that in the back yard with a .243.

I haven't shot a ton of black powered, some though, so grain of salt(peter)and all that but...
It sounds like a mass/velocity issue. To make animals go boom, you need high velocity with comparatively small mass. That isn't really what black powder does.

Good stuff from Arbalest and whig above re revolver loads and related issues.
When I did my self-defense ammo topping off last year, I switched to HST for 9mm, based on good reputation and ballistics tests for expansion. Stuck with the Gold Dots in 45ACP, as they matched anything out there, and my revolver stuff is quite varied - Gold Dots, Buffalo Bore, some Remington FBI load. I topped off with Winchester Ranger (forget the specs), which had outstanding results in the LuckyGunner testing.
Went with Hornady for .380 defense ammo, Critical Defense I think (again, test results).
I think all the major brand ammo is fine, good enough that it won't be the problem in any real situation, and I realize testing is not always dispositive, but I think it can confirm common sense and give some relative rankings for results in a laboratory situation.

Just guessing here, but it seems to me that if the entry and exit wounds are too close together because the animal is small, that there may not be enough flesh for the bullet to expand before it exits the animal. Especially at pistol-type velocities.
That's just a hunch though.

re: velocity... they advertise the 8" at 850fps, so I spect this is barely over 800.
But low speed, and big mass should equal tremendous shock.
I didn't bury him with the shot either.
I just can't see using this thing on real animals... like deer, which I've considered.
Deadly accurate out to 20 yds or so.

Got the limoncello blended, finally, and have some amazing ribs awaiting consumption, but haven't yet loaded a round of 45ACP this weekend, as planned. Everything's set up.
And have to check the calendar. Closest I can get to Weasel Acres is going to the range where I'm an RO towards closing, in the long-day months, and set up on one of the small ranges. Shooting is allowed til 10, but dark comes earlier obviously.
Take some food and a cigar, get the boss to come with me (she'll love how beautiful it is out there late in the day, actually), maybe some friends. Private range, and free.

On the revolver, not enough anything to affect the ball. Ball is moving pretty slow, too. And it's a ball, so the structure does not lend itself to expansion from soft tissue. It also won't yaw and tumble.
With the rifle, you say "blown parts off". That says to me you hit bone with a high velocity round. Bove shatters sending shars through soft tissue cutting them. Bullet is travelling fast enough t cause hydrostatic shock to tear more tissue. The bullet is built to deform and expand on meeting soft tissue, let alone bone. There's also a chance the bullet will start to tumble after hitting bone.

BTW, here's one grazing on cherries by our side porch. I suppose I should have rushed back inside for my heaviest weapon and collected 'a trophy'.
Or, I could just finish my coffee and leave the fierce critter alone.

This one was in pretty nice condition except for a little spot of surface rust on one side of the receiver and still had its original box. This one was unusual in that it was configured as a "breeching shotgun" and only had a pistol grip rather than a shoulder stock.
Smith and Wesson only had these from 1980 to 1984 when they were trying to get into the police shotgun market. They're actually good shotguns and were essentially clones of the Remington 870 with slightly different internal parts and an improved feed mechanism that prevented the double feed problem of the early 870s but S&W just couldn't get enough interest in them.

After 2-1/2 months that felt like 2-1/2 years of waiting, my CMP M1 Garand has finally arrived.
6-digit serial number on the Springfield Armory receiver which puts manufacture in early December 1941 and a barrel from March of 1944. It is in fantastic condition and the new dark walnut stock is seductively beckoning me to lovingly rub it with some pure tung oil.

Wasn't raw linseed oil the one actually used on the stocks back in the day? I use BLO too, because easier. The 2 CMP M-1s barely needed one treatment, but I'm slowly prettifying the stock on an Auto Ordnance M-1 carbine, give it one coat of BLO every year. It already looks nice. Nice piece of walnut.

I had one climb up there, gorge himself, fall asleep in the tree for an hour, then wake up and recommence eating.

The day after that, I will be expending many 9mm rounds. And drinking Bourbon. But not at the same time.

red and MAxie, when I finally build out my AR receivers, of course I'll do "feature-less" ...... but I probably would have anyway. Prefer the normal rifle stock shape (Thordsen) to pistol grip, and none of the other "features" mean anything to me either.
But who knows what will transpire over the next few years.
I could see both 1) extreme worsening of CA laws to include outright bans, and 2) SCOTUS action to gut most CA gun laws.

You're welcome Hairyback Guy.
My only Carcano is a 91/30 long rifle made at the end of production of these in the 1930's so I did a fair amount of research before I bought one. Cleaned up very well and shoots fine despite a warped forend--it does have a cracked handguard though.
For the most part, I focus on military bolt rifles of the twentieth century and have restored quite a few to military condition but have a few oddities older than that. Right now, the project I have to finish is my 1903 Springfield in .22 LR (so as to not produce a fake m1922, I am going with the full length stock.) Just have to put the m22 barrel on the Rock Island receiver, headspace the .22 M2 bolt, and away we go. Project has taken about three years to gather the parts. A Finn m28 took about two years to restore--it has the Sig barrel though.
Rhomboid, glad for the information that you have tried and liked the Critical Defense in 9mm, been considering switching from gold dots to them due to availability and cost. Thanks.

Took Mrs Cop out to the range so she could get some trigger time with her SR-22. Once I realized she was standing with both her feet perpendicular to the shotline, I had her put her left foot forward and her grouping improved dramatically. At about 15 feet, she was getting groupings of about 2-3 inches.
Tried to get her to shoot the .30 Carbine but she couldn't figure out how to get a good sight picture with the peep sight and it was getting late. She did fire a few rounds and she said that the recoil didn't bother her. So, we will tackle the carbine on another day.
She has made huge improvement in her firearms proficiency, especially since she used to think they were dangerous and she was afraid to touch them.

MAxIE: just replace the bullet button with a regular mag release, swap out the "flash suppressor" with a muzzle brake, and put a fin on the pistol grip and you're good...
at least until the lawsuit gets to the Gorsuch SCOTUS and this, and all the other bullshit is overturned.
no word yet on the ammo lawsuit, so i imagine they are still waiting for the state to respond. i know one of the plaintiffs, and they have heard nada, so far.

I hate that I have to label a sarcastic comment.
It tells me that the other commenters have yet to evolve.

Having spent time on Kodiak, I don't underestimate the danger of bears. Bear biologists refer to blacks as the Black Plague. They're not an animal to get careless with. Read "Four Seconds Until Impact" by Bruce Hemming. Fun fact: Bears don't kill you before they start eating, they just hold you down with one paw while they eat your guts.

I remain amazed that none of those (to my knowledge) ended badly.

Tiny, by comparison, of course, but when I was a kid, Big Bang cannons were all the rage. We used to have 'battles' in a neighbor's crawl space, because it was pitch black in there. Impressive flashes they make in the dark.
