They started selling those about a year ago, the cheap barrels disappeared pretty quick. There are also some differences in model 10 barrels, they're not all interchangeable depending on age an such.

+1^^^^Broken nose is a give away on lion kills

.520

M1 Garand

I use a .010-.012 patch and 110gr ffg my .53 Hawken, no issues, been killing deer for years with it...

VX-II, you can see it on the objective end in the third picture...

Yep still in Flag ! Thanks for the kind words !😊

I'll offer $250+shipping if you'll send it to me.

Winchester model 70 XTR in 270 Winchester, worked all summer for a contractor picking up nails or whatever job a 12 year old could have in '76 for .50 cents an hour, at the end of summer I had $256. Ordered the rifle through a guy my dad knew that had an FFl, when it came dad sported for a weaver 4x from Kmart. My youngest brothers kids are still hunting with it...

I'll take the leupold 6.5x20

Location ?

+1 on the Glock mine is a 20, I love the 1911 platform but top end loads in the 10mm will shorten the life considerably, cz made/makes on also

Been to Scheels in SLC...much more selection than Cabela/Basspro, prices like Sportsmans...

Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss, It gets better, grief doesn't go away but you get where you can function in spite of it. . . It's been 2 1/2 years. . . sometimes it feels like a lifetime ago, sometimes it feels like yesterday. . . I will pray that you are able to find peace.

I'll take the 218 bee

The last couple I've done they just sent the new firing pin... Not hard to do but if you don't know how to take the rifle down you should let someone who does (a competent gunsmith) do it. A broken stock will be the result an they're made of unobtainium now.

" For anyone that does need to check with them, you can call their number at 800-852-5734 and give them your serial number to confirm it needs it. She (if it's the same person) will give you the address to send it back for the replacement. "

They have a following, 308 is a common caliber, yours is post 64 so there's not quite the prestige there, as with any old gun condition is everything, without seeing it $450 - $700 . . . your mileage may vary

I've replaced hundreds of rifle barrels over the years. . . exactly once I had one time up an be correct in headspace 😎 that being said its not much of a job for a qualified smith to do.

Rely only on published data from reliable sources ie; powder an bullet manufacturers first of all !!!! Second if that's the powder you have pick a starting load, most data starts 10% or more from max loads, don't reduce more especially with slow powders. take your time, load a few (5 ish) in 1 grain or so increments (in a case that big with slow powder .5 gr increments will be hard to tell much, a primer change will be lots more evident). go shoot, check accuracy, its more important than jet wash (fps...) Third most loading manuals have a section in the front that details the process, good stuff there ! Every one has to start somewhere, have fun, be smart.

AA1680, 4227, 2400, Reloader 7, 4198 are all good powders...depends on what bullet an what you're trying to do with it.

You might consider posting the vintage of your rifle, the early Winchesters an Marlins require larger diameter bullets than the later ones (.379 vs .375)...

I have a 5.45x39 AR nothing fancy, no chrome lining, it has 3k down the pipe, mostly all Russian or Bulgarian surplus all corrosive primed, all steel...runs like a watch, shoots about 3moa with surplus ammo. recently Hornady made brass, bullets an dies available for this cartridge, shoots sub moa with hand loads...been pulling bullets from surplus an loading good bullets on the steel cases for coyotes (don't have to chase my brass) sub moa as well, case capacity is a little less, Our military uses steel cases for most all the big stuff, 20 an 30mm etc 🤷‍♂️ your mileage may vary, but in today's ammo market...

Mazda's are the same as a ford ranger for a bunch of years (ford owned them) 15" ranger rim from a similar year truck would work. . . junkyard guys could probably square ya away for $20 for a rim an tire. just bought one here in flag for my daughters ranger. . .

I heard a story a few years back of a cape and $10k traded to another hunter for his full hide for a life size mount. . .
