    Well, this is going to be a fun project....

    Back in the Mid 70s I was concerned I might get an invite to go hunting in Africa and would have to turn it down because I didnt have a rifle. I read about Carmichael building a 416 Rigby on the 1917 action. A friend of mine heard me talking about it and gave me a Remington m1917 action so I...

    My Grandson with an "almost" vintage sniper rifle. Silly Army wont let him bring it home but he did get to try it. When he gets home I'll be able to talk to him about its results and his thoughts.

    Vintage Gunmaking in Dhara, Pakistan

    Watching that kid crank out 7.63X39 rounds reminded me of when I first hired on with the Anchorage Police Dept. They gave me a revolver and 18 rounds of ammo. The ammo was 158 Cast RN bullets, cast and loaded by trustees in the jail...…………….no thinks, I carried my own reloads. But I can see...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 Creedmoor vs 6.5 PRC is it worth the difference

    I thought about the PCR, then got to looking back on my 6.5 Creedmoor kills, and then thought, WHY, they maybe shoot a bit faster and all, but how I dont understand why to need to be deader then dead.

    Vietnam era M 14 sniper/spotter

    There were a lot of Model 70s in the 101st in the 67-68 time period. The only ones I saw were the standard hunting rifles, in '06 with the Weaver 4X scope. With the limited range you get in the jungle they were more effective then those target scopes with external knobs. After I left I...

    Reproduction 1941 USMC CMP vintage sniper project

    The orginal 1903s were chambered for the 30-03 round, it had a tad longer neck to hold the Krag 30-40 220 RN Bullet. It wasnt that great. Two things changed that ideal, one being the studies of the 7mm Spanish round we encountered during the Spanish American war. The second, and the one I...

    Premium gunsmithery on a U.S. Springfield Armory M1898 Krag Jorgensen

    Fieldcraft Knife decision

    Back when I did a lot of trapping and hunting coons for the hide I used the Case Muskrat with good success. Prefect for skinning out small critters. I even used it to field dress a moose (because some idiot left his heavy knife home. If I want something heavier I like the Puma Prince Pocket...

    Maybe: Its a Mann Device, the Army uses them for testing ammo. But they can be vintage.

    You stick it in a V-device, its as close to a one holler ad you can find.

    .223 M40 tribute

    Back in the 70s the USAMU Sniper School was mainly set up to produce sniper instructors. To get accepted I had to provide a letter saying I would come back to my unit and start a sniper program. I did from the AK NG, but also attached a letter from my Department, (Anchorage Police Dept)...

    Hunting & Fishing What Pesonal Locator/Satellite Messaging Systems are available?

    I tried Sat Phones. You have to go outside, walk around for the perfect spot to get it to work, then you get cut off. I now use the inReach. It works great. They say you have to be outside. I havent found that to be the case. I use it in the tent, in the truck, and even in buildings. My...
