I got that, after re-reading the article. $500 ain't much in the scheme of things, I'd think the city would rather have the jobs and taxes coming in, than an upfront $500 . The guy who sent that to me, has a pistol on order from Les, so he's more than interested in this, he has a stake in it. I got ...

Gun manufacturer targeting move to LeClaire By Mary Louise Speer | Monday, April 16, 2007 (24) Comments | Rate this article | Default | Large LeCLAIRE, Iowa — A Rock Island County custom gun manufacturing company is fixing its sights on moving operations to LeClaire by next fall. Les Baer Cus...

The last I heard, Les had made the deal and was getting ready to make the move, it was from a Quad Cities newpaper blurb. I can't blame anyone at all, let alone a firearms maker, for getting out of Illinois, that place is notorious for stupid firearms legislation. I've met Les a few times at the USP...

That IS interesting, just when I was wanting to buy more brass, too Oh well, Remington and Hornady will be happy to sell me some, if need be. Winchester's brass is usually pretty good, if a bit undersized. It sounds like someone dropped the ball in East Alton.

Welcome, budman-8. There's a lot of useful stuff buried in the forum here, there's a lot to look thru, too, but if you can't find the answer you're looking for, just ask, and before long, someone will pipe up with an answer or an educated guess. This is a pretty good bunch of characters, and they ar...

http://outcast.homeunix.org/uploads/goodgunsgone.jpg With the new computer, came a new scanner, so here's an old pic of some Rugers and Colts I've had. Yes, the Colts are SA semi-autos, but still single action, right? .45 ACP and .38Super, missing are a 10mm and a LW Commander or two. There's a sho...

It seemed to me that Savage's magazines were rather cheaply made, Marlin's are more substantial, and hold two more rounds per magazine. It's your dollars and choice, but either would suit me well. I kept my Marlin because it shot better than my Savage did, but the next two rifles might swap that aro...

I've owned both Marlin and Savage HMRs. Both shot well, I kept the Marlin and gave the Savage to my best bud, everyone needs an HMR :wink: Both shot well, the Savage shoots most anything well enough, the Marlin shoots better with stuff it likes, a lot better. After tweaking and some Acraglas Gel, it...

I seem to be duller than usual today, so here's a post with a couple of pics, PDs killed in the "pre-.204 days" of 1998. Enjoy the wicked power of the good old .22/250!

Because you can shoot rodents all year long :wink: There's not really any difference between the .270, .280 and .30/06, except what one wants to make up in their heads. There are enough good .270 bullets to do anything that really needs doing here in the lower 48 states, with the TSXs and Nosler Par...

It's not legal in Kentucky, but maybe some Texans will chime in, or some of our Aussie friends, they do a LOT at night in OZ, from roos to rabbits to foxes, to...............

My .223 was a .3"shooter awhile back, it won't do it now, but that was thousands of rounds ago, too, so I don't begrudge it anything at all, I've had a lot of fun with it. Howas are fine rifles, or Weatherby wouldn't have them making their Vanguards and older Mark Vs. Howa makes fine shotguns, ...

10X or 2206H(H4895, for us Yanks), one or the other seem to work well with the 39s, so much so, it's not worth looking for better stuff.

About all Cooper can do is set the barrel back and rechamber, perhaps with a newly sharpened reamer, which would make the chamber smaller. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it at all, it's a brass thing, not a rifle thing. If it makes you feel better to orient the round to the chamber the same way ...

That's pretty typical for today's undersized brass (which I've fussed about a LOT around here!). I wouldn't worry about it, just don't size it down to "normal" looking, leave it big, so it doesn't overwork the cases, and consider it "formed" to your chamber. Or, you could send th...
