Swiss Boots, Sportsman's Guide

feeds@yuku.com (TheFathead) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 05:26:59 GMT

Hi Guys, Product review time. Sportsman's Guide has Swiss boots for sale, and has had them for a while now. I ordered two pair (order two to get one good one, that was the thinking.) I was sorely disappointed when they arrived. They stank like mildew, for one very good reason. They were covered in mildew. They were both totally dogged out looking, and I figured they were a lost cause. With warm water, saddle soap, and some dedicated cleaning efforts though, I was able to get the crud and...

Got another Vetterli

feeds@yuku.com (dominicfortune00) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:05:48 GMT

Found a nice M78/81 Vetterli at Cabelas in Wheeling, WV.

They had 399.00$ on it, I offered 325.00$, and we settled at 350.00$.

She has a bore that cleaned up to like new, and a spare firing pin under the buttplate.

The spare firing pin wasn't wrapped in foil, so I oiled it and wrapped it up in a little bit of aluminum foil.

She also has a cleaning rod.

Diopter sights for left-handers

feeds@yuku.com (ozarkjailer) — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 06:21:41 GMT

What kind of problems can I expect using diopter sights being a south-paw? I know that they are offset...How will that effect sight alignment and cheek-weld?

I was just reading an long article in a German gun magazine called Visier and was amazed how they brought up proof of things that happened 90 years ago, it also shows that GPS is a great help in locating finds.
A Google search brought me a link to the story in three languages and the PDF pages are a recommended read..

Re enlisting

feeds@yuku.com (engravertom64) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:41:00 GMT

hello folks.

I thought my Swiss rifle days were over for good, but I have a K31 inbound soon. Glad I kept most of my Swiss gear. Wish I had kept the chargers though...

Those of you who remember me might remember our move to Western NY back at the end of '04. All is still well, but many challenges of life keep me busy, as they do for all of us.

Anyway, glad to see Gusian, Pete, and the crew still around keeping this going strong.

Well, Swiss hat...

Can anyone identify this artillery piece?

feeds@yuku.com (carolinaman) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:22:16 GMT

Hello,

While visiting the Schloss at Thun, I snapped this picture of this artillery piece and wondered it anyone can identify it.....

I have no background in artillery history, but I thought it would be nice to figure out what it is?

Thank you,

Price for a private sale K31?

feeds@yuku.com (Giarcpnw) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:40:54 GMT

I know this is a slightly slippery questions to answer. Have a local guy who has a beach stocked K31 he bought from Big 5 a few years ago. Wants to sell it and I'm trying to offer a fair price but what is a fair price? He's asking me to make an offer.

Nothing extraordinary about the rifle. He refinished the stock slightly. Meaning it has the nicks and scratches still and seems to just have a nice new coat of oil or something over some light sanding. Still looks old but shiny...

Possum Hollow Kwik Trimmer

feeds@yuku.com (rjsbonjr56) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:32:38 GMT

Anybody out there have any experience with these interesting little trimmers? If so please let me know your thoughts. I am interested in purchasing one for .223 and it it works well ask if the MFG would consider making a 7.5 Swiss version. But this board seems to have a lot of reloading experience and it is always good to ask. Basically, a poor 's mans manual Giruard.
