    Colt, Winchester, Sixguns, Howard Hill books

    I would like to sell these as a package to ease shipping if somebody wants some good reading. I am busy selling everything and moving internationally and that would make for easier shipping. Any takers at $100 shipped for the works? The Colt and Winchester books were my Grandpa's and I think one...

    MKII 10” front sight height???

    Are all the screw on front sight heights the same on the Target/Competition models? Mine is the 10” bull barrel and somebody removed front and rear sights and it is wearing a Burris 2x scope. I will probably go with an aftermarket rear or the newer version of the Ruger rear sight but I want both...

    Mini 14 and Accuracy

    Let me know how it works out for you. I have every firearm known to man but sudenly I have taken a liking to these having no experience with them. I will probably have three or four within the year being a little obsessive, and I may end up with one of the older pencil barrel models.

    Mini14 Fixed Power Scope Options/Suggestions

    I just picked one up myself minus the rings. A kind gentleman on here sold me a set of 4B Ruger rings at a good price and I was thinking along the same lines as you with a light compact Leupold in order to retain some of its handling qualities. Either that or a compact 2-7x would be perfect.

    Mini 14 and Accuracy

    I was in the Navy in the late 80’s and early 90’s and was onboard the USS Carl Vinson. I was a member of a rescue boat crew as a Signalman and in addition to morse code communications to the ship, I was manning an M14 rifle for the purpose of fending off sharks who may get after the rescue diver...

    Mini 14 and Accuracy

    I see. Pretty unusual for a Saiga to do that. I used to have the 7.62x39 version but the 2012 panic buy netted me $1k for it which was a $750 profit. Kind of wish I did not sell it as it was a fun rifle even though my current AK has a better trigger on it. The guy who bought it planned on...

    I didn’t notice but I will take a look. Does your rifle do this?

    Ruger Ranch rifle .223 magazines

    I just bought two 20’s and one 30 round Ruger mags used and they all run flawlessly with brass cased ammo. None of them nor the five rounder will feed polymer coated steel cased ammo.

    Mini 14 and Accuracy

    I bought a 2010 production Mini 14 unfired by the original owner on impulse due to a low price and was surprised that it shoots just fine. It was hitting both 6” or so high and left but shot a tight group with the irons and American eagle ammo. I then mounted a cheap compact scope that I got for...

    WTB Mini 14 Ranch Rings.

    I bought an unfired Mini 14 Ranch rifle that was a display but the rings and the extra magazine were missing out of the box and it came with one 5 round mag and the torx wrench. They gave me a cheapo 20 round mag and a set of Ruger rings they had laying around but turns out they are M77 High...
