I think the outernet is gonna be down for the next couple of days. :surrender:

and if all the millions made were meticulously cared for and kept in like new condition, they'd be worth little more than a stick of firewood today. I'm actually doing a public service for the guys who collect original specimens.

My wife is wise enough to research values before selling. If it weren't for her, I'd have nothing.   Funny poster anyway.

I'd say you're screwed.

I paid $30 for the rifle. I haven't ruined a museum piece. Spanish mausers aren't rare, nor are they priceless works of art.

This I may try.

I recrowned it when I cut the barrel and sporterized it. I just can't get the thing clean.   I'm handloading and know what to expect. I'm not going to see it with this barrel till its clean.

'Twas the first thing cleared from the shelves when I worked at a grocery and we had a forecast like this. :panic:   Stay warm everybody. The next couple of days don't sound like too much fun.

You're o.k TDR, the rest of the world's just screwed up. :ugh: :rofl:

I've dealt with stubborn bores, but this one takes the cake.   I have an old Spanish Mauser I've sporterized, and I can't get it to group very well, I'm confident it is because of all the fouling built up in the bore. Through the years I've had it, I've scrubbed it with various bore solvents, brushes, etc. I've plugged the end of the barrel and filled it full of copper solvent and let it soak for days. I've even scrubbed it with polishing compound. Try as I may, I can't ever seem to get to that magical clean patch. Your suggestions would be appreciated and experiences would be appreciated.

You could just post information you'd like to share with us here on the forum rather than collecting information from us.

I forgot all about him. He did add a certain spice to the forum.

Quality revolvers. $350 sounds like a good price assuming it is in good condition.

Our local WalMart is blessed with a sporting goods manager who is a gun guy, and his knowledge and willingness to help rivals any gun store owner. I hope they pay him well and realize what they have.

I'd like to get up there around Knoxville one of these days and meet several of the forum members. Gordon and his wife are among them. :usa: :up: :up:

wrong thread. sorry.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but after today's weird game, I'd like to once again say "Wat To Go 'DORES!!!" :up: :up: :up:

LOL! Yeah, those new fangled inventions from the start of the twentieth century just won't cut it! :rofl:   30-30 introduced 1895 30-06 first released as 30-03 in 1903, and improved in 1906.

You have more patience than I.

A Garand is one rifle I've yet to own. Yours looks like a nice one, and quite accurate to boot. Congratulations. :up:

Why?

I meant the guy who started the thread. I'm not sure he'll be around long.

Shall we also send ssn numbers, addresses, and a list of guns we own?

I understand where you are coming from now. Thanks. I stille don't believe that's the route I'll go, but I do appreciate everyone's opinions. It can never hurt to learn.
