  1. No collector value in it whatsoever. It might be a good shooter, and therein lies what value it has. I'd probably trade, as I like tinkering with stuff like that, and I'm not that big a Mosin fan.   If you can trade a $100 Mosin for it and decide you don't like it, I'd give you your $100 back for the 06....+ another $50 for the reciever sight, assuming there's nothing wrong I'm not seeing in the pictures.
  2. Unless it was a gun problem, I'd bet on primers that weren't fully seated. First hit from the firing pin fully seated the primer; second hit detonated it.
  3. I will bet that even people who use a progressive press also have uses for a single stage press. It is good for load development, one offs, and etc. It would also be a great place to start learning the basics. I only use a single stage, as I reload in bad weather and at night, and I can more than keep up with our shooting demands.   Reloading is quite easy, but the learning curve is steep in the beginning. Once you get a load figured out and everything set up properly, it's little more than pulling a handle. I would suggest you find someone in your area willing to have you over and walk you through loading a few. It will likely save you some headaches, and buying a bunch of stuff you later find you don't want or need.   Right now, finding components is as difficult if not more so than finding ammunition. That will all change with time.
  4. I don't think so. The only new production 94 Winchester is a high grade gun made by Miruku in Japan, and is around the thousand dollar mark.                http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/category.asp?family=003C
  5. I'm good at finding "deals" like that myself. :D   I don't expect it would be too hard to find more ammo for it than you'll want to shoot in it.
  6. I'd pass. If it were pre 1964, it would be worth a second look.
  7. $300
  8. Takes me to a sign up page. I don't think I want on that watchlist. Could you distill what you found there for us?
  9. ...and it looks great. I really like that style.
  10. I believe a properly built 1911 cannot be fired by pulling the trigger unless the grip safety is disengaged. If you DROP a 1911, id doesn't really make much difference whether your holster covers the trigger of not.                  So was it the holster's fault or not?   I'm not trying to be obstinate her guys, really I'm not. Holsters which cover the trigger are a relatively new fad. Guys got by fine for many, many years without this luxury. Look at some old photos of Texas Rangers, or early FBI agents, and you'll likely see sidearms with the trigger fully exposed, yet they somehow got through life without shooting themselves in the leg.   It seems that if something is on the internet, it often gets repeated over and over, regardless of whether it has any merit or not.
  11. No. Tere's a sawsall, drills, prybars, and other assorted goodies within reach of my safe.
  12. Gotta call B.S. on this one! If the bolt will close on it, my mini will fire and cycle it......and throw the brass into oblivion!
  13. Actually, this one is a Winchester reciever, but a Blue Sky Production stamped mixmaster. I just need a bolt, and a way to ensure correct headspace. If you could get the guy's contact info who has the carbine parts, I would really appreciate it.   Luckily, I have what I believe it a "correct" Inland. It is in very good condition, so I prefer shooting the Winchester, as it is very well worn.
  14. Today, I sheared a lug off the bolt on my Winchester M1 carbine. :cry: I was hoping someone in the Middle Tennessee area still has a box of parts, including bolts, as well as headspace guages. If not, any guidance you can provide as to the best way to replace the bolt would be greatly appreciated.
  15. I'd stay the h3ll out of Davidson county, even if someone gave you a place there.
  16. Yeah! Get a piece of the rock! :cool:
  17. That's what I was getting at. Farmland in Franklin, Hendersonville, Chapel Hill, Murfreesboro, or Mt. Juliet is available from time to time, but you'll be competing with Titan's players and country music stars to buy it.
  18. You're going to need a fat wallet to meet the criteria you've listed.
  19. Looks very nice.   Here we go again with the open trigger guard. If the stars aligned perfectly to knock off your thumb safety, squeeze the grip safety, and pull the trigger, all at the same time, I doubt a piece of leather in front of the trigger will save you. Can anyone here point to an instance where a 1911 was discharged accidentally because of a holster with an open triggerguard?
  20. They look great! You wouldn't have a set of Ruger emblems lying around, would you? They would look extra special awesome with emblems.
  21. What is the point of doing this? If he doesn't need them at a time when someone has come to his house to confiscate them, he'll likely never need them. :squint:
  22. Sadly, there are many things more usless than the duck pecker study that our government funds each year.
  23. Move near Nashville, and I'll be willing to apprentice there for free!
  24. Just make sure you don't follow behind them too closely while driving. :up:
