Thanks again everyone. The plan so far is that the book sales are going to be from the publisher but perhaps we can arrange something so I can sell them on here. I'll let you know. Hopefully we will...

Sorry I neglected to say what this new book is about. It is no secret. Wolfe already has it in their online catalog. The title is Shooting World War II Small Arms. Sure was fun to do!

Hello there from a fellow Mingo Countian. I actually am still a member but have not been active for a long while. I have been deep into a book project that has been near all consuming. It is in the...

Bruce: Thanks for the offer. Stay safe over there.
Robert: Thanks again for the tip. Not only is that guy more than reasonable on his parts, he only wanted $1.00 for postage.

Tonight I was installing an Accumount scout-scope mount on my Type 38 Japanese 6.5mm and in the process broke the spring that goes under the rear barrel sight. Anybody know where I can find a...

Dutch: Thanks for that. A few months back a fellow sent me the box of 8mm Nambu rounds shown in this photo along with that small "meatball" flag. His father took them off of a Japanese Naval officer...

Larry: Right. Visiting is always enjoyable. I wrote a longer post to you and this stupid computer lost it when I was trying to enter it. (Then again I may be the stupid one instead of these...

Larry: You hit the nail on the head there.
Another thing that puzzles me is that we're seeing this with several 6.5mm Swede rifles. Are we just hearing about them and not the other rifles types...

Larry: We have to take photos this week for deadlines so I'll have my wife take photos of those two cases and post them here. I've never seen new cases that look like them.
By the way has anyone...

I found this passage on the last page of the book THE MAUSER BOLT ACTIONS: M91 through M98: A Shop Manual by Jerry Kuhnhausen.
It reads, "Paul Mauser elected the simplest, most logical solution...

Nope to the Webley. Passed it onto a friend. As for the S&W '17 I've tried everything I know with no luck although I've never had a problem with several others of the same breed. This one is...

Larry Gibson asked for this information but I thought perhaps more of you might like to see it also.
This data was gathered in the Hornady lab and is psi - pounds square inch - except for the...
Forum: Our Town
Larry: That would be fine. This might be better and save you some effort. My friend is ballistician at Hornady and he's already pressure tested some WW2 8mm loads for me. I have that data around here...

Larry: I envy you that experience with all those different weapons. The only ones of my experience are the ones bought by me or friends. There's so much to learn and so little time.......

My MP44 by Erma is right at 11 pounds with an empty magazine inserted.

That fellow was right. I didn't make it home from the show with the same money taken. I found a really nice 1911 Boyt holster dated '42, a Weaver 330 scope in fine shape, a box of LC 62 national...

Hurricane: you're talking about a feature in a previous issue. These guys are discussing a column in the brand new issue.

I Left it out because it wasn't actually "standard" as in standard issue to U.S. Army infantry crew served weapons teams or cavalrymen. In WW2 it was issued to naval aviators. But the article was...

Combat Diver: Thanks for posting that. My MP44 was made by Erma. It shows some use but functions 100% unless the original magazine is loaded with more than 25 rounds. Thus far I've only fired the...

Combat Diver: I've just been tossing my once fired military .30-06 brass in a bucket. When you get home, its yours for the asking. Just let me know.
