I want to get this post in so that Thor can add his 2 cents if he wants.

If the ser. # is below 800,000 for a Springfield rifle or below 285,507 for a Rock Island rifle don't bother thinking about re-barreling. Those receivers and bolts are considered to be unsafe and no competent gun smith is going to touch it. That doesn't mean it's without value, just not worth re-barreling.

If it fits into the rifles mentioned above you can clean it up and hang it on the wall if it has sentimental value. If not, take it to the show tomorrow and find out what it's trade value is.

If it's not in the ser. # ranges above then it's back to the question, "What do you want to use it for?"
 
Happy Saturday!!!


It's still raining a bit out there. But it sure was a good night for sleeping.


The cold/allergies crap - teh Snotz - seem to be abating. And no, not A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments. There is less snot, less coughing, and the post nasal drip seems to have shuffled off to Buffalo.


Cats are fed, the house is warm enough, and the plans for the day are made. Insh'Allah they come through . . . .


 
Morning Wat.

What needs to be finished on it?

OK, 03's done to National Match configuration are very rare and very specific as to their configuration. Both select Remington and Smith-Corona manufactured rifles were re-worked. Because of the rarity they demand high prices on the collector's market with a good to excellent condition rifle going for $3,000+. Which means that if you have one of those rifles anything you do to that rifle, if not done with extreme care, is going to trash the value. One of the most obvious tells that you may have a NM rifle is that the rear sight will be a Redfield Olympic micrometer sight mounted on a Redfield sight base screwed into the left side of the receiver and the screws will be staked. The barrel will be either 4 groove or 6 groove. If it's two groove you don't have a NM rifle.
 
I shall be catching up on housework this weekend, if your Allah sees fit Wat I would like things back to normal next week. This illness and life bump shit gets old really fast.

Congrats on the boots, sadly my next pair will be heavy rubber with removable liners, we have falling slush this morning and that would bother me except I have no where to go and no place to be. My favourite little one and her dad will be over this weekend however, they are getting their pet free apartment building sprayed for a flea infestation and since she was sick so long he wants to wipe everything down and air it out tomorrow morning before he brings her home.
 
No need to get testy Wat. I'm just trying to be helpful here. If the rifle is original and of a certain configuration it's worth more with a shot out barrel than it would be if you replaced the barrel.

If you replaced the barrel with a correct match barrel (they are still available) it would be worth less, but still have good collectors value.

It it's a cobbled together match rifle then changing the barrel isn't going to effect its value at all so have at it.

So the question is, do you have an armory built match rifle or is it cobbled together? And that's what I'm trying to help you with.
 
Instead of folding my freshly washed and dried towels last night, I left them in their basket on a counter. This morning I woke up and the basket was on the floor, towels all spilled out, and my girl cat, affectionately known as Cunt Face, was curled up in the middle of my clean towels. :rolleyes:
 
Wat's having "peformance issues" with his steel penis substitute. Somewhat ironic that his steel penis substitute is having issues keeping it together....
 
Gray, wet day.

What is better Nate Silver or a sports betting site for picking the election winer?

;) ;)
 
There is a husky gal in hiding, while I cleaned out the livingroom she spread garbage across my my freshly mopped kitchen floor. Well loved critters know they will eventually be forgiven and just don't give a shit what their humans want.
 
lol...

The things they do when they think we aren't watching. When they were younger and more spry, getting up on the furniture was their form of, if no one can see me, I'm breaking no rules. This time of ear they are content to lie in the sun in the space between the couch and the giant picture window.

I have a family member trying desperately to talk me into taking a lab puppy. Now, I'm a complete fool for puppies, but even the cutest of them grow up, and I already have 3 spoiled rotten grown up pups. You have given me another reason to say no thank you to the offer; puppies love rippin and tearin.
 
Happy Sunday!!!


Slept pretty well. The rain seems to have moved on along. Hell, it came back to visit some more last night. We should get some sun and breeze today.


The company car is going in for its oil change. It's past due. It's probably Bad Form to blow the engine up through maintenance neglect on the company ride. So I reckon I'll get it looked into then.


My hands seem to hurt less this morning. They had gotten grumpy by this past week.

Okay, I have a bit of a tale to tell.
I got stung by a wasp yesterday evening.
I had all of my household tasks completed and decided to relax and watch a movie.
I keep a blanket on the couch just for times like that. So I covered up and got immersed in the show. I felt a tickling on my leg, which I ignored, because I know scratching won't stop a nerve tickle. The tickle seemed to be shifting around and I finally reached down to scratch it and BAM! I got hit. My first thought was Holy Shit batman! That might have been a brown recluse. In a rush of urgency, I went to the bathroom, opened up my jeans and began looking for the culprit. I saw nothing, but I began shaking out my pants leg and the little bastard flew out of the bottom (maybe I should say bitch, I think the vast majority of them are female).
Well, since I am allergic to bee and wasp stings, the rest of my evening was a little miserable.
 
Just an observation.

Not too long ago, when we suffered some sort of tragedy, the usual response was to call for gun control or some other favored Progressive meme.
Now, note for every issue, the go to blame for the tragedy is TRUMP.

;) ;)
