Two weeks is an unacceptable time in any business to get some kind of response. If OP took his rifle to On Target for shipping back to the manufacturer it should have been taken care of the next day or the day after at the latest. This is why people come on this forum and constantly bitch about gun stores. Take care of business.

Or worse!

One wrong flick of the joystick and you'd have a very bad day.

Cabela's sends them right to your door. No FFL required.

If it's the same thing as the Marlin 80 would this work.... http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/Detail.aspx?pid=403490C&catid=4083 BTW, if you call Numrich to order a recording will tell you to hangup and order online but they will give you a code for free shipping on orders under something like $10.

I don't like it.

That is an AR I would actually enjoy cleaning.

Many countries painted the standard 147 gr. steel core light ball with silver tips. Many times they did not. Regardless they are still the same load. More than you ever wanted to know.....http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinAmmoID.htm

Burchett is about as "good ole boy" as it gets. Did MAIG add him to the list of TN permit carriers?

He has a permit.

Most of the surplus 7.62x54r is steel core, except Yugoslavian.

It might have been a Mauser made some time around 1941. But don't quote me on that.

I had a chance to shoot this thing the other day before Dolomite, uh, "Dolomited" it. Surprisingly accurate. Bet it hardly makes a sound with the can on.

Go get some Wolf Match Target and see what it will do. In the meantine try some other 40gr standard velocity loads.

But NM's audit is.

Tennessee issues permit to permanent resident aliens. This disqualifies the state from NM reciprocity. Apparently this is what their audit uncovered.

I seriously doubt rebluing would completely fill in and cover up a serial number. Like Mike said, chances are it might have never had one to begin with. Serial numbers are a requirement of the Gun Control Act of 1968, many guns produced before then did not have numbers, but then again, many did. What is the rifle?

I have no sympathy because in 2008 it was 88 days of waiting for me.

So essentially, Pope trusted a bunch of politicians. Well boo hoo hoo.

The IRS has been dealing with smart-asses from the day it was founded. To paraphrase the disclaimer: You better have a good reason because our lawyers are better than yours. We have the law and precedent and there's not a whole lot you can do about it.

I believe it might actually be an M1890. Check this....http://www.hungariae.com/Mann90.htm and the second & fourth rifles here....http://www.collectib...Mannlicher.html

Here is a great deal in the Memphis area on a Mark III. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/classifieds/item/270-ruger-mark-iii-22lr-55-blued-bull-barrel/#features

That is brilliant Caster and yes, you are way overthinking it. Even in a "sealed" US ammo can, which I know for a fact will keep ammo, in their original boxes for at least 50 years, cardboard and paper is what will soak up any moisture that might get in. Open those cans up every few years, just to let the funk out and admire the stash.
