Show us your Guns!
I'm like you, it handles like a nice double. Is the long pistol grip what they call a Prince of Wales grip, but with the rounded end, looks a little strange to our American eyes. I had initially thought of having it rechambered for the 9.3x62, as the barrel is simply stamped 9.3mm no case...- jkingrph

Show us your Guns!
I plan on it, but it may be a while as according to the local gun shop, they are not yet at distributors, although listed. I have several Swedish M 96 Mausers, so am quite familiar with the 6.5x55. I also have a couple of CZ rifles, one a 527 in 22 Hornet, the other a bigger 550 Safari...- jkingrph

I just saw that CZ is listing their neat little 527 mini mauser in 6.5 Grendel, so a trip to the gunshop tomorrow is in order.- jkingrph

I would love to have one of those, in a sxs 16 and a rifle caliber like you mention. They are few and far between in this part of the country. The last one I saw had some non functioning features, like the rear sight did not fold up when rifle was selected, and the dealer , a good one that...- jkingrph

The Hattery/Hats Direct
I have had good results with my limited experiences with the Hattery/Hats Direct from Australia. No problems and rather quick shipping and delivery. I had pre ordered a couple of limited edition fountain pens from a dealer in the Netherlands, and had a rather bad experience back during the... -
Show us your Guns!
Agree, back in 2004 I came across two 1894-1994 Winchester Mod 94 centennial commerative rifles. They have half octagon half round barrels, 24 or 26 inch, 26 I think but am not sure right now, roll engraving on receiver of woodland game scene, button magazine, only holds three rounds, very...- jkingrph

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
I could have easily worn my old USAF pith helmet today, but instead wore my Akubra straw for my Sunday afternoon walk. Temp is still 65 here in NE Texas now, and humid. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Akubra "straw" planters hat for a short walk. It's warm enough I even got it a bit sweaty. Wish the weather would turn colder and stay that way instead of the yo-yo effect of hot to cold. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
No hat today. The wife and I had a quiet Christmas together. I put a 6lb prime rib on the Green egg and cooked it to a med, she does not care for rare, a quick corn dish, some sautéed kale and mushrooms , with a small piece of cheesecake for lunch made our special day. The weather was so... -

Methinks the dealer where you bought it knows not of what he speaks.. 357 max is more powerful higher pressure cartridge than the 357 mag. Shooting a 357 mag in it should be like shooting a 38 special in a 357 mag, unless the customer that exploded a cylinder used a reload overcharged with...- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
I would have thought a 158gr SWC in 9mm would be too long for the case, probably causing buldging, or maybe too long for a magazine, just my thoughts. As for 45 cal I am thinking the only 230 gr bullets are the standard round nose ball configuration, the only SWC I remember were in the 180-185...- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
That article reminds me of a few things I had forgotten, like the relatively sharp edges catching on a bowling pin or bone and penetrating rather than being deflected. One of the charts shows a 148 gr Remington hollow base wadcutter, which I also remember reading about being loaded hollow base...- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
Actually what they were using was a semi wadcutter, which had a conical taper with a fairly large flat nose(meplat) and then a fairly narrow, square shoulder , the design attributed to the late Elmer Keith, and sometimes callet a Keith bullet. The flat meplat would aid in tissue damage, and the...- jkingrph

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
My new Stetson Royal Open Road in walnut that came in yesterday. -
Western, anyone?
I came home and found a box with the Stetson Royal Deluxe Open Road in walnut I had ordered from Delmonico a couple of months back. I can't believe how soft it is compared to the standard 6x. -
9mm or 45cal
This thread has strayed a bit. 9mm or 45, It all depends. If I had to be in a shootout generally I would choose a 45, but a lot of 9mm handguns hold a lot more rounds. In the heat of a situation, excellent marksmanship may go by the wayside where extra ammo could be a plus. I have only used...- jkingrph

9mm or 45cal
I had never heard of a Noreen rifle, so looked it up. In 30-06 it looks like another M 16 type on a massive dose of steroids. It should be relatively soft shooting. I find my M1 Garand to be rather easy in the recoil dept also, probably one of the most comfortable larger caliber rifles I shoot.- jkingrph

The first gun I purchased myself was a K 38, then a K 22 about two years later. That was 1968 and 1970. For years I have wished I could complete the trifecta and find a good clean K 32, but have never seen one.- jkingrph
