Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 5/8ths off barrel and a new crown

Looks like 00 buckshot from a cylinder tube fired at 60+ yards..

Lunchlady had a mole like this on her chin.

Btw that crown looks way better that what Wounded Warrior Gomez inc did on my mauser.

Coming up!!!!

Just returned a box of hornady vintage match 196gr to midsouth shooters supply
They was cool about it, they know me.

Never optically recentered scope from the hornady stuff
Clean barrel 1st shot
Windage was kinda their, gave it 16 clicks up
Range 100yds
Scope on 3 power entire time
Privi partizin 196gr spfb

Gave it some dope after #2
Gave it 1 click down after #5
Figuring my reticle width on 3 power in ratio to the target is pretty well
Accounting for verticle deviation.

Then shot 5 times at broken up clay pigeons and white painted fist sized rocks
On the berm at around 115 -120yds
Making big plumes of dust outta em.

No heat or forearm pressure issues
Excellent fouling on all lands to end of bore
Tiny gas fouling marks around crown very even

80 plus yr old gun has a new life deer hunting with me.
It's a keeper and shoots ammo I can get online from Sgammo
For 14.95
I'm gonna go to the gun shop I got it from here local for 20 a box and get another 2 boxes from that lot number
for the next 2 yrs
50rds will last me awhile.
Shoot it some more in way cooler weather this fall before rifle season.

lol

I like the 'Conlee' weather data included on the target

Thats valve lapping compound
Hahahaaa!!!

Ya need ta shoot the 6.5x55.
See what it can do.

i can't believe youre doing biz with Imelda Marcos at allen's gun shop.

That’s the hairiest lapping compound I’ve ever seen! 😁

I had ta get techy man.
Hahahaaa!!!

I know
Wandering around last week

And go figure
The worst gun shop in the county with the highest markups
Had this privi ammo at decent price
And it didn't have layers of dust on it either

2017 mfg lot #

Allen's of all places go figure....... .

Worst gunshop...evahhhh!!!

Oh the horror....id move

Move to a suburb and root for the Packers

I'm crushed by this....
I'm such a bad person, how can I make amends.

You can peek ya know, and No one will ever know except you and the big guy in the sky.

Not anymore.
It,s GTG!!!
Probably woulda cost me an arm and leg if I had all the stuff
I did to it done by someone else.

The "sweat equity" (slumlord term) I put into it paid off.
I got 425 bucks total in this gun.
I will pass it on to a grandkid someday hopefully.

Its a shooter now

Best looking crown in Tennessee.

And yes those are army socks, they stay up well above the calf




I got a mod70 ot6 that didn't get any mileage last fall
due to this rifle. I let alot of bucks with potential walk wanting to make
A worthy 1st kill with this marlin 36g

Now I got 3 deer rifles and the mod70 ot6 ain't gonna see the woods this year

A Mauser and a Marlin and frigging choices of what rifle to take

I gotta save 1 buck tag for rifle , cause I will hopefully use one for ml prior to rifle.
Almost tempting to buy a doe permit for rifle season.

Nawwww.. let the slickheads be comfortable.

Id say she should see a doc about that slum.

Great job, Rene

Hasbeen, how can you have a deer hunting fool and gunsmith on ignore. Thats unAmerican.

I'm not a gunsmith at all jag . I just do alot of my own stuff and for friends.
I also don't like paying outrageous prices for work I can do myself.
And I gotta have something to do between the end of turkey season and the start of deer season
I don't fish, and may, June, July and August don't have the letter R in them.

I probably ticked off or offended hasbeen1945 at some point among many others on here.


Can't change the past ... all I can say.

It's fugging valve lapping compound ya knuckle heads

Gawd

Not
