    Toilet and hot shower in one bucket

    that phrase reminds me of a sign i saw about 10 years ago "septic tanks pumped and pool water hauled- not same truck"

    i usually shoot it from a standing rest but off hand i can keep it under about 3" at 50 and around 1 1/4" at 25 but i shoot a 4 or 5 shot group rapid fire since thats how do it at our big bore shoots. from a standing rest with 347 grain solids taking my time i can usually keep 5 shots touching...

    Anybody into mil-surp guns?

    the 10,75 is a .423 bore & it actually a german cartridge. most factory ammo is loaded with a 347 grain bullet but if you want to go heavier just use 400-450 grain bullets designed for the 404 jeffrey. one of the guys a shoot with has a mauser sporting rifle in 10,75x68 and two more guys i know...

    Anybody into mil-surp guns?

    my factory mas 36 sporting rifle in 10,75x68mm will be buried with me. its very light for a dgr and thanks to the brake its easy on your shoulder. the factory sporting versions of the mas 36 are extremely rare. even though its one ugly rifle its still not as ugly as a remington

    Anybody into mil-surp guns?

    i haven't started inventorying them yet to see what i'm going to keep and it will be a while before i get around to it but i'll more than likely ask the market standard on most of them which varies quite a bit from manufacture to manufacture and condition. i'm keeping my swedes, gew98's, argies...

    Anybody into mil-surp guns?

    i have around 60 mausers and a few mosins but i'm getting more into british sporting rifles and customs so i'll probably start getting rid of some of my more common rifles and start concentrate my collecting efforts on sporting rifles.

    Tee fittings, T fittings, whatever

    there are several people here including myself who could make exactly what your looking for if we had some dimensions to work with, but it wouldn't be cheap.

    Opinions on semi-auto 22

    i'd also say its best to start them out on a single shot but once their shooting buy them something neat. my nephews favorite 22's are my polish wz-48 single shot mosin nagant training rifle & my gsg 5-pk, my gsg is the most useless gun i've ever owned but it is a blast to shoot. i'd also...
