I won't take many rounds of ammo to exceed the value of your rifle if the ammo is the same price as the 6.5 Jap.

I've got a dremel. :DClose is a relative concept.

Yeah...I bought the two in the top picture today. They are all mine.

You've obviously either never been to court or had better luck there than I have.

Now here's a 1911 man!

A couple of days ago I posted a want to buy ad here looking for 99 Savages. Shortly after, these popped up on ###, with the seller living not 10 munites from my house. This kind of stuff doesn't happen to me. A nice 300 Savage, and an early, straight stock model in 410 no less! Here's a shot of them with their stablemates. My wife doesn't share my excitement.

I think the U.S.A bought a large quantity of the stuff last year. It looks to me like they are getting ready to return it however.

If it was necessary to shoot a fellow human in self defense, and you were in the right, beyond a shadow of a doubt up to that point in time, what could you be charged with if you left the scene, went on about your business, and didn't report the incident? It would seem to me that something wouldn't be right about it, but you didn't commit a crime, so you wouldn't be leaving the scene of a crime. Under what grounds are you required to report it? If the same encounter ended in a fist fight instead of shooting, are you required to report that? I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I can't find it.

The mum on the reciever makes it more desireable than most, as it was customary for the Japanese to grind off or otherwise deface it, as they felt it was a disgrace to turn their mum crest over to an enemy. Most Arisaka rifles you encounter will have the mum ground off.

People are buying them simply because they are new, and everyone wants to be the first one in their circle to have something new. They are, in my opinion, a solution to a non existant problem. I predict you will be able to buy all these things you want for next to nothing once the new factor wears off.

Wouldn't the Pay it Forward thread in the gear classified section of this forum be a good place to do this? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/gear-classifieds/20736-pay-forward.html

The 51 Navy had a brass grip frame. On what information are you basing your argument against it being a 51 Navy? Could you provide a link?

I'm guessing it was a replica.

Good one!

Sped Strips are the way to go. I don't know why more stores don't carry them. They're kinda tough to find. I'd like some for a 44/45. I've got plent for 38/357. They aren't quite as fast as round speedloaders, but they are a heck of a lot easier to carry with you.

A man should definitely learn the art of brewing beer!

Buffett is coming to Nashville May 1 at the Sommet Center! Tickets go onsale Saturday.

Perhaps it's been longer than I thought since I've bought one of these.

$200-$250 in my neighborhood.

I'll bet you find the answer to your question about zeroing the scales here: http://www.rcbs.com/downloads/instructions/Model505ScaleInstructions.pdf

If you got it for less than $500 with the correct box and accouterments, you made a very good investment! You're gonna like it.

I can be done by most anyone. It isn't very practical to expect to swap barrels back and forth. You'd need to rezero your scope each time. Other than that, it would be a complete pain in the can. By the time you buy two sets of go-nogo guages, a barrel, a barrel nut wrench, a vice or action wrench, and another bolt head, you could have almost bought a second rifle. If you decided later, this outfit wasn't what you really wanted, which do you think would sell better; a rifle someone has jacked around and a bunch of parts and tools, or two complete, unmolested rifles?

Why have you narrowed it down to two. I think Fall Creek Falls is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been, and it isn't far from the two you mentioned.
