Another powder price jack Shotgunjones 02/13/25 10:06 PM
Graf's now has Perfect Pattern at $300 a jug.

This represents a 42% increase in total since the stuff was first introduced about 2 years ago. Other Hodgdon powders have also seen a sharp increase.

Graf's has always been a fair supplier, and were one of the few to not screw us over during the primer shortage of 15 years ago so it's not their fault.

In fact, they and Natchez have been running low cost or free shipping and free haz on and off for some time now. This tells me their products are not exactly flying off the shelves now that some of it is back in stock.

Shooting is in general down, partially due to the cost.

This latest valentine from The Powder Trust will not help our sport or our clubs survive.

Here's a link to a convenient live DOGE Tracker

https://www.doge-tracker.com

The results so far are very impressive. The DOGE Team has only reached about 1.9% of their goal. So the ultimate savings per taxpayer could easily save all of us enough to buy a pretty nice double gun or two. But sadly, a Liberal Left Federal Judge has imposed a Temporary Restraining Order to stop Elon Musk and his DOGE Team from their audit of USAID, and other bloated, wasteful, and deeply corrupt Federal Agencies.

It's interesting to note that Google Searches for "Criminal Defense Lawyers" in the Washington D.C. area have spiked dramatically ever since Trump took office. You don't have to be a genius to figure out why...

Re: Stupid California... A Rant keith 02/13/25 07:30 PM
You would think the Liberal Left gun owners on this forum would be able to connect the dots, and finally start to see that they helped to create this situation by voting for the anti-gun Democrats who enact all of these silly and costly laws regulating law abiding gun owners.

But no... you just can't fix stupid!

The good news they can cling to is the added costs, taxes, and hassle they must now endure when buying ammo in California is nothing compared to the inflated costs for virtually everything, since Bidenomics dramatically increased the prices we pay for just about everything. Elections have consequences!

Re: screw restoration Jimmy W 02/13/25 06:08 PM
I have had to remove screws like in the video- more times than I can remember on equipment over the years. Sometimes, I have deepened the slot on the screw with a hack saw if the width allowed. I prefer to tap on the screw with a hammer and punch or even a hammer and a screwdriver as he did. I would be awful leery about beating on the side of a gun with a hammer, though. But this worked out fine for him.

Re: Checkering Cradle Head and Tail Stock DSchrank 02/13/25 05:39 PM
Doug Mann posted a thread on his cradle here:

https://www.doublegunshop.com/forum...at&Number=519758&nt=2&page=1

Basically, he uses a couple of thick leather cups with leather padding the bottom to protect the ends of the stock.
When I made mine based on Doug’s design, I traced the outline of an extra large Pachmyer pad for the buttplate. I figured that would be bigger than any stock I’ll ever do. I did the front cup 2” diameter. After setting up a stock I wedge some scraps of leather inside the cups for some extra protection from the stock slipping.
FWIW, since it sounds like you just getting started checkering, ACGG member Mike Ullman is teaching a checkering class at Tishamingo this summer. He also has some YouTube videos.

Re: AH Fox XE ,Philly Gun oohay 02/13/25 04:37 PM
Hello Harry ,I really don't know ,it had this stock on it when I got it ,I have had a fellow contact me that said this serial number left the factory with a straight English style stock but when he read the information to me he said he had for this serial # the information also described the little Schnabel on top of the comb which is not the normal style comb so I am assuming it didn't leave the factory with a straight stock and it probably is original but honestly can't say for sure !!! I know it had an incorrect Forend and As advertised the person I purchased it from had a New Period Correct Forend Professionally made for it ! I know who made the Forend but don't feel at liberty to announce his name ! If you would like to discuss the gun ,Please give me a call at 724-205-1076 !
Thank You ; Russ

Most interesting that the Suhl Stamp was applied 3 times.

You know, I seem to recall that the Suhl stamp was either that of a Merkel or E. Schmidt & Habermann? I will have to dig.

Re: Interesting rifle with interesting provenance Parabola 02/12/25 09:45 PM
[quote=BrentD, Prof]I think the Pease rifle has the Lyman lollipop back far enough to avoid the bolt. I imagine the right thumb has to be in front of it, however. While that seems awkward to me, I suppose it will work. I wonder if Pease put that on the rifle or if a subsequent owner did it?

Brent, your query quoted above inspired me to re-read my re-print of Sir Alfred’s book to see what he says about the sight or sights that he used.

He mentions the subject only once, at page 243, when engaging a lioness that had gone to ground at 240 yards:-

“placing the big gun on the ground, I take the .256 rifle, sit down and fire a shot at her scarcely visible head. “Over” her! I give my Lyman half a turn down and shoot again. “A hit!” she is up! “Crack” again, and she is on her back, growling and snarling and worrying her own leg.
I take the 10-bore and go forward quickly, and at 40 yards give her one more and it is all over”.

So, yes the Lyman sight was in place during his ownership, perhaps when he bought the rifle or possibly fitted for him later.

Re: Max Meffert Drilling Der Ami 02/12/25 04:34 PM
Dave,
Since the bore diameter was marked in mm (8.9), but the case length wasn't shown, I believe the drilling was proofed close to the 1911 improvements to the 1891 proof law being implemented. I would guess it was proofed in about 1912. Since it does not have a proof date or register number, it was proofed in Suhl, so it was likely in or near there. Since there seems to be no crown W mark on the right barrel but is on the left, the left barrel is the only one choked. Sorry, this doesn't help very much to ID the maker.
Mike

Re: ernst Schlegelmilch/Philip Reeb Der Ami 02/12/25 04:05 PM
Carl Baird,
Schegelmilch was a name associated with several gun makers, in addition to Ernst and Theime/Scheglemilch there was Louis that was involved in the design of the Commision Model 1888 rifle for the Prussian army, in particular the bolt. While likely too young for involvement with your gun, the son of Alfred (Fred) Schegelmilch who worked for Heym and Walter Grass was studying to become a gunmaker in the 1980s, so the name continues in the business.

Perhaps you need to change out your sieve, CZ. Sanctioning bodies here never have had any power over what a local S X S shoot decides as to the shoot rules. That's part of the attraction for many of the informal competitors, less "rules". They seem to be happy with that, and in some areas it appears to be growing. Guess you'd better find a way to deal with your displeasure at it. Unless, unless, they actually start listening to The Grey Man and his "words of wisdom".

Franchi Instinct L wood issue, maybe? pete2528ca 02/12/25 12:57 PM
Howdy all…Question.
I have two Franchi Instinct L, a 12ga and 20ga. Both have developed these marks in the wood on the forend. They don’t look like cracks in the wood, but maybe the urethane finish? Anyone else experience this? It is on both guns. The mating metal surface looks ok and smooth. It really just seems like marks on the surface, there isn’t anything visible in terms of cracks on the wood surface that meets the metal. The 12 gauge was in for warranty work because of a firing pin issue and they said the wood was fine. (Wood isn’t covered anyway under warranty it seems).

Any thoughts?

There have been many other makes that used a folding design and were far better quality than the El Faisan. Mine never doubled, and as far as I know it never was hauled on a bicycle, either. Pretty tough for a 12 lb. trigger to slip its' sear notch and double, IYKWIM.

It's vaguely suitable for hauling in a fishing boat to shoot water moccasins. That's about it, IMO. Better be careful when pulling those 12 lb. triggers though, even on a "sitting moccasin". It's mighty easy to flinch with triggers like that and moccasins can take a nasty attitude when frightened (and missed). They are $150 guns, at best. I'd rather have a picture of a Yildiz than own the El Faisan.

Disclaimer: No fine tree wood was damaged in the making of this gun. (Note the Ray Charles school of checkering design)
