Im looking at a SXS. I think its made in Belgium by the proof marks. Its marked Wapen Defoten Falun Special Export. Falun is a city in Sweden. I found a Vapen Defoten catalog on line showing sporting goods. Kinda like a Swedish Gander Mountaim. Does anybody know who actually made this gun?

A decent start to a good year of grouse hunting…

Folks, it is written that perfect knowledge casteth out fear... Sorry, I've not found an SKB factory manual for the Model 100

The inertial trigger has quite a few parts. Number of related springs...

SKB Model 100 Action Parts is my crib notes. SKBshotguns has a decent amount of action parts as does Numrich.

UPDATE: My, my. Looks like the SKB Model 500 used the same trigger, but also used a Trigger Adjusting Screw and a Trigger Adjusting Nut. I do NOT suggest that everyone runs out and retrofits SKB SxS triggers. I've never noticed an issue with the non-adjustable trigger.

I was saddened to read on another forum that Mike Spies has passed away. I didn't really know Mike but I had done a small amount of business with him and we chatted on the phone a few times. Mike was a very knowledgeable dog man and it was always a pleasure when we did talk. Another good one gone far too soon.

RIP Mike.

Remington 3200 Shotgun Parts. Large bag of various 3200 parts. Here a nice selection of Remington 3200 shotgun parts. These parts for the old 3200 guns are getting to be very hard to find and can be expensive. This is a large assortment. Hammer springs, top locking bolt, grip cap, trigger guard, small action parts. Various small and large springs, bbl selector. I have no idea what all the parts for the internal action are. What I am asking for all the big of parts is maybe less that what one or two parts would cost you if find them. Much less that if you had to have the part custom made. Also good to have back up parts on hand. $250 for the bag.

Please Note: I do not have a web hosting site. I will be pleased to send pictures to those of you inquire. PM me or arrieta2@sbcglobal.net


PS: Most of these parts appear to be new, some maybe be used but not abused.

I’m up in the mountains looking for a Blue Grouse with the George Daw 20 gauge Hammer Gun. There’s nothing better than the high mountains and a beautiful English side-by-side shotgun…

Another Big Bore joins the Collection - An A-Square in 460 A-Square cal.

Once again I couldn't resist adding another Big Bore rifle to my battery of Big Bores. I have had several A-Square rifles over the years, and in spite of their clunky appearance of the stock, the felt recoil is remarkably reduced over rifles in similar calibers. The seller recognized from previous sales that I would be interested in buying this one. It came topped with a LER Leopold 2x scope and dies and brass. The 460 A-Square cartridge is the same as the 460 Weatherby cartridge except that it is based on a 2-1/2" long case as opposed to the 2.9" of the original 460 Weatherby case. The original 460 Weatherby caliber is capable of launching a 500g bullet at 2600 fps, where as the 460 A-Square caliber launches the same 500g bullet at 2450 fps. Albeit 150 fps lower velocity, its still capable taking down any dangerous game animal on the planet. The forward "scout mounting" location of the scope keeps the action open for fast reloading if the situation requires.

With having dies and brass, loading and testing will follow. The last image shows the specs of the rifle.

I have to recognise that I love the look and style of an old Deeley Latch (Anson & Deeley), much used 100 years ago.

Nowadays it is rare to see them.

I have an express that maybe I change the stock and was thinking in taking the opportunity that new wood would be used also in the foreend, to change the normal push button style and install a Deeley latch.

Wanted to know if someone has attempted such transformation






Left is a 1909 paradox Holland along with a modern Arrieta shotgun. In this case a shotgun or. Double rifle makes no difference, the issue is the same, making new foreend wood and adapting mech to fit the deeley latch

With Dave's permission I am offering a Redfield 75 receiver sight, new in box (NIB). it is absolutely perfect and is being offered at the price of $225. Shipping costs are on me.

Pics to anyone interested, by email.

Brevex #22 joins the Collection - Fred Wells in 510 Wells cal.

This is my third Brevex rifle made by Fred Wells. What is most interesting about this one is that it has the Weatherby Logo and also a Weatherby serial number. With this one being in 510 Wells caliber, it is now my biggest caliber Brevex Mauser. It takes the spot formerly held by my 505 Gibbs Brevex.

Passing on news of our community: Jim Fender dropped by Northern Virginia a few weeks ago for breakfast and a long talk. He passed on greetings to Dustin (Lefusil ) and discussed his many projects. He is an Alabama native and graduate of the UofA and long involved with Air Force intelligence, F-4 Phantom, C-130 pilot and involved in many other military issues as well (including being the money gate-keeper in Iraq and being a military lawyer) in addition to indulging his writing and shooting habits. I didn't realize that he also wrote a number of historical novels in alias including a revolutionary war series.

He said David Travallion is still well in Maine but is starting to decline, memory slipping a bit, but is being cared for. I have tried to call David (Crossed Chisels) several times over the past couple of years. Jim said he doesn't much answer the phone.

Mr. Fender is a fascinating man with a world of gun stories and an excellent writer. Hope to see him again.

Hi!
Question is the Krieghoff insert barrels (about 8 inches long) more useful in .22 LR or .22 magnum?
This would be used for hunting edible small game.
Thanks!

For those of you who own or are considering a pair of Soundgear Phantoms from Starkey, there is a known problem with them that Soundgear will repair for free. Audiologists are not yet aware of this issue and will gladly charge you to send them in for repair, but don't do that. If either of both of your units will not take a charge (blinking red LED on the charging case), that probably means the lithium ion battery will no longer take a charge (duh!). Cause of the problem is that if you don't turn them off when you put them away, or if one of the buttons gets bumped in your pocket or in the case, the bluetooth function keeps pinging for a connection until the battery is completely depleted (and ruined). Starkey only recently figured this out, and should have a retro fix available in 2027. That retro fix will be free, even if out of warranty. More importantly, if you currently have that problem, Starkey will repair it at no charge and will cover the shipping both ways. And if you ever have the problem again, repair will be free. Call Soundgear (a Starkey subsidiary), tell them what's going on, they will confirm your serial numbers and email return instructions and prepaid UPS shipping label. I sent mine out last Wednesday and got them back today (Monday). They replaced the electronics in both sides, cleaned and checked everything, relatively painless and no charge. The guy I spoke with said they will be sending an email blast to owners and audiologists, but he 's not sure when.
