Re: School Rifles with JFC Stock Cartouche

FWIW - I don't own a 'School Rifle' and have seen more suspect ones, than real ones. To add to the confusion, "Philippine Constabulary carbines" and "School Rifles" are both technically, a "United States magazine carbine, model of 1899, adapted for knife bayonet and gun slin...

Re: Winter Project Completed

Very nice, but, I would distract 'break-ln' thieves by concealing the entrance, with a liquor cabinet in front of the door!

Re: Front sight height?

Out of curiosity, what is the height of your current front-sight combination and where does it group on target at 50 & 100 yards?

Re: Binge Watching

Thanks Moose nugget, neat videos!

This old barrel construction explains my hesitation over ever firing this irreplaceable (to me) rifle.
