    Rifle Scopes SHTF LPVO?

    The NX8 makes some compromises to be as small as it is with the zoom ratio it has. You will not get the 1x as ‘flat’ as others, the image brightness will seem darker, particularly above 6x, and the eye box will be tight compared to others On the other hand, the illumination is some of the best...

    1939 Finn Captured Tula PEM sniper

    You have the nicest stuff... Seems like matching bolts are always a problem with captured or captured bringback guns of any kind.

    Springfield M1A

    Yes. Neat rifle whose heyday has long past but I still worth owning if you accept it for what it is. If you think about everything that goes into making one, they are kind of cheap for what they are. I think they are easy to be accurate, hard to be precise, much like an M1, but have only shot...

    @Maxwell Generally, I have no problem firing 100+ year old firearms within their limitations. This particular one is more complicated. As a 1906 production Rock Island, it falls well into the "Low Serial Number" batch of M1903 rifles. These rifles were/are famous for receivers bursting and...

    M1A SOCOM 16” vs standard

    I wonder how this turned out. If suppressing it, you may wish to invest in an adjustable gas plug and one of those neato gas shields that used to come with the blank firing adapter kits. If an adapter is required, the Delta P type is expensive, but indexes on the barrel shoulder instead of...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    SOCOM 300 on a 27" TRG .300wm. I bet the RC will have a sharper tone, but is a more durable suppressor than the 300. With a barrel that long, you could probably use most anything.

    Gw Zf4 Optic

    I can't see it moving; not like a PU or something else from the era anyway. Will have to pull the turret caps and see what is going on without getting too aggressive. Clicks feel great and markings line up, but that does not mean much. EDIT: removing the caps and moving the zero screws did it...

    Gw Zf4 Optic

    Thanks; I am almost certain the mount is a reproduction. I suppose the silver lining is that I will not feel bad fitting it to the rail. I found this web site about the Zf4 scopes that has some decent information. It also mentioned the engraved markings that Voighlander used. Next step will...

    Gw Zf4 Optic

    Picked up a new scope but do not know much about these. Final price was not much higher than a reproduction scope mount set, so I thought it might be worth the chance. It is DDX marked with s/n and would have to be pretty cleverly aged if a fake. Looking at the macro photo, the markings almost...

    Cool find

    Any pictures of the glider? Assuming it is a Waco. I have seen parts of them but never one whole.

    Savage Enfield No4Mk1* .303B - new to me

    I have wanted one and have been trolling US Property Marked No4s for some time. $550-650 forum sale. $500 would sell inside 24 hours. $600+ on gunbroker, not sure of the upper limit there as final prices can vary widely based on seemingly nothing. A non-FTR'd Savage with flip sights went for...
