A couple of pics of my 'new' Hunter gun for next season. Rather than making the stock look really nice, I went with the Rat Rod look. Good shootin' :) -Al

If anyone has an extra cocking piece for a McMillan BR action, let me know. The firing pin threads into the cocking piece. Thanks! -Al

With a break from the 100 degree stuff coming, this one is ready for a test drive.

Last weekends tournament at the Boone Valley Ikes club outside of Webster City, Iowa is in the books. Saturdays HBR 100-200 started out chilly with temps in the high 40's but the shooting was hot for the 6 power shooters. With sixteen 6 power guns on the property, Wisconsin resident and long...

Being a sucker for any orphan gun that needs a new owner, I'm putting the finishing touches on this project....an Old School 30BR. It's entire history is a bit murky but it was certainly an East Coast gun at one time. After that, it somehow made it's way to the wilds of the deepest...

For us little guy bullet makers, it's a good day when FedEx rolls up with boxes from Capstone/J4 full of .30 cal. goodness. :cool: Good shootin' -Al

From the Boone Valley Issac Walton range in Webster City, Iowa, here are the results from the VFS100, 200 and 100/200 Grand Agg. Temps were warm both days with the heat index pushing into the low 100's with twitchy winds on Tuesday for the VFS 100. Randy 'R.G.' Robinett won with a...

Not the greatest day for testing new bullets with winds from the 8 o'clock from 14-18 mph. but the good thing about that is at our range, that wind direction dampens the vertical out pretty well. If you see vertical on the target, it's either gun handling or tune up related. Not a great pic...

The shooting sports lost a special person with the passing of Dr. Mike Kihne recently following a brief illness. Whether it was IMSHA hand guns, Benchrest, indoor handguns, prairie dogging or shooting .22's for fun, Mike was first and foremost a shooter. I had the pleasure of knowing Mike...

Hey....if anyone has a used, abused, nasty old 'glass BR stock (3" or 2 1/4" fore end), I'm looking for one for a special project. The nastier the better from my perspective since it will get redone anyway. If you've got something that looks like your brother-in-law that owes you money drug...

Does anyone recognize the name John Fry from previous BR shooting...possibly from Indiana? A Google/Bing search shows John Fry involved in Trap competition but not much else. There's a gun here that may have initially been his and it would be nice to connect with him to verify and get some...

Test results aren't back yet but it seems the Dakota variant of the C.O.R.N.Y.* virus has struck me once again. :eek: Cyclical in nature and with random timing between contagion events, the one constant seems to be a generally clueless nature as to the initial symptoms and a remarkable decrease...

I've posted this in the 'Gunsmithing' section but also here for those that don't visit that section. I'm looking for a little info on a sleeved 722 that I'm working with. It's a pretty slick gun and was originally done by the late Seely Masker. The aluminum sleeve is 9" long, 1.625...

I'm looking for a little info on a sleeved 722 that I'm working with. It's a pretty slick gun and was originally done by the late Seely Masker. The aluminum sleeve is 9" long, 1.625 wide, shaped like a Panda with a flat bottom and a nice integral recoil lug and glued in to a Lee Six...

Was glad to see some more components at my local shop today....N120, N133, Federal 205M and 210M primers on the shelf with extra stock in the back room. Even a goodly supply of Lapua cases...223, 22-250, 6BR, 243, 308, 6.5X47 and a gaggle of 338 Lapua. Now if the pipelines would just get...

Well...here's something completely different. My good pal Randy Robinett has been on the lookout for a decent shooter grade Savage 99 in 250 Savage for quite a while. He recently snagged one complete with a period correct Weaver steel tube K6 and started right in on shooting it. Long story...

This is the recoil-lugged Panda 30BR project I've been working on. Today was a perfect day to test with winds under 12-13 mph, although they were from 5-7 o'clock. Our range faces S-SE and this wind angle can catch you when the mirage shifts. Barrel break in was a bit different than I...

Used Panda spring (top), new Panda spring (bottom). Eight bucks. ;) Good shootin'. -Al

I know, I know it's done all the time...using the rear tang of the action as the recoil lug on a bolt in. I've never liked that approach for a lot of reasons and thought I'd share one that popped up today. This was a glue in Panda I bought used and am converting to a bolt in with a front...
