I'll be interested to hear what they say. I'm considering the mount for a BB, pre-AE.

Bruce Scott

Has anyone tried this mount?

Thoughts?

That was my thought as well. The only thing "innovative" is their holey front sight. But then, what's a Redfied going for these days? There's a Redfield 70E on Ebay right now that's at $67, with 5 days to go. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Redfield-Series-70-E-Rear-Receiver-Target-Peep-Sight-Win...

Basically a Japanese re-design of a French re-design of the original American Benet-Mercie (Hotchkiss) 1909 "machine rifle." Those things killed a lot of Americans in WWII and more in Korea where the Chinese used some of the thousands they captured from the Japanese at the end of WWII. A ...

Thanks ollogger, mine must be about the same vintage.

The info is probably available but I can't seem to locate anything.

I'm interested in the year of manufacture of a .375 XTR, low comb, top eject with a Serial # BB052XXX. Any ideas?

I have not had much success using cast bullets from my Lyman 319247 mold. This target was shot last weekend using Hornady 170GR FPs over 18 grains of AR 2207( IMR 4198 equivalent). Without the wayward shot, the group measures 3/4". http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b38/tango4c/IMG_0619.jpg The ...

Good news!

Thanks for your replies.

Does anyone know if the butt stocks for the BB are the same fit as any other straight gripped post 64 model? Numrich have BB specific forends but nothing in the way of butt stocks. However, they do have these: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ad/1335540.htm#1335540A http://www.gunpartscorp.com/pub/Produc...

West Germany used the FN FAL (designated G1) for a short period in the late 1950s - early 1960s.

Great! I had some doubts about the steel core description but the proof is in the cutting.

It would be interesting to open one up to see if has a full steel core. This photo shows a bi-metal jacketed bullet with a lead core.

During the 1960s, the British Ministry of Defence converted a number of Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifles to 7.62x51mm NATO as part of a program to retain the Lee-Enfield as a reserve weapon. These were re-designated as the L8 series being fitted with 7.62 mm NATO barrels, new bolt faces and extractor claws,...

This Global Warming better get here quick before we all freeze. Seems to have struck here already. "The Bureau of Meteorology has confirmed 2013 as Australia’s hottest year since records began in 1910. Average temperatures over the continent have been 1.2C above the 1961-1990 average."

Are you certain that that sight will fit your 1892?

It is made to fit for the Model 94 Angle Eject, which came pre-drilled for scope mounts. It will fit other 1894/94 models but the receiver needs drilling and tapping.

Pop, do they compete for food with the sheep and cattle? Are they a nuisance? Any danger involved with them? I've heard of wallaby stew, is that for real?

Regardless of how many Kangaroos (or Wallabies, as pictured) are on a persons land - they are a protected species.
