I actually have a line on a Remington 700 Action that I will be building a "Long Range" rifle with.

- Start date
Good solid action. Not a bad trigger. If you switch the trigger, "I" would not go lighter than 3.5lbs. The Accuracy International chassis used to use the Remington 700 as the "guts". Don't know if they still do.

Nice to see you starting him with a bolt to make him think before each shot.

Yes, that's exactly why I got the boys a Bolt-action.
My Dad did the same with me..........Taught me with a 22LR bolt-action, and a 22-Magnum bolt-action.
Each of my two Brothers have those Rifles now, but I got my Dad's 308

Ok, now this is kinda cool. An AR upper, chambered in 5.7mm, with a 50rd magazine. Since the recoil on the 5.7 pistol is less than that of a .380. . . . it has to be almost zero as an AR.

I picked up my new Glock 42 .380 a couple of days ago.
Report back how you like it. I've been looking at one at the local Rural King for $399.
So, my R6 kid found a 7" upper at Palmetto State Armory for $209.99. Legal because it's classified as a pistol, and not a short barreled rifle. It's just an upper, so no FFL holder required. Got it in the mail. [political content deleted - CW]

Put it on a pistol lower, good to go.

Although I will say that a 7" barrel is a waste for a 5.56 round.......gotta have a least @ 14" to get a full burn and reach an effective velocity.

I don't think that combo (7" upper and rifle lower) [political content deleted - CW] my opinion.
Any way........post delete coming in 3....2...1......
BTW, I am currently headed from KY to CA and was planning on I-40 but AZ is socked in with snow so I had to reroute last minute across Texas the WIDE way (Texarkana to El Paso....don't get any wider than that if you're crossing Texas!), wish I would have know in advance so I could collect on that beer you owe me when I rolled through the DFW metropolis.

Stevens - Springfield Model 107B (part 1)
Recently I moved most of my Firearms to a different part of the House, to facilitate access for cleaning and maintenance.
One in particular needed more attention than all the others.
This one originally belonged to my Grandfather, who passed it down to my Dad, who in turn passed it down to me.
Not knowing much about its history, other than it was used to hunt Rabbits, Squirrels, Pheasants, and other small-game................Possibly even Deer since I received a few boxes of Slugs with it.
I had no idea when it was manufactured, as there are no serial-numbers on it anywhere. (apparently it was not a requirement for long-guns until some time in the 1960's maybe?)
I've had it out a few times to shoot clays and targets when I lived in AZ, but that was over a Decade ago. It's been in the Safe ever since, and was a sad sight when I recently moved it.
Most of my Firearms need some sort of cleaning or looking-over, but I knew I had to get working on this one right away!
It's a Springfield Model-107B Single-shot 20-Gauge Shotgun, manufactured by Stevens Arms company (which was/is under the Savage Arms Corporation at the time)
I looked for any pictures I might have had of this firearm previously, but I could only find one....................This was sometime in the late 2000's when I lived in AZ I believe.
This particular one was manufactured with a plastic "Tenite" Stock, and is part of the reason that it needed immediate attention.
I've spent the last two weeks researching these old Stevens/Savage Shotguns. Quite a number of them (Model 24, 89, 94,105,107,etc......) were mostly the same, with many interchangeable parts.
During that time I found out more about Cellulose-Acetate than I ever thought I needed to know.
I also found out that you can buy almost any part for these old Shotguns still today. Most anything is readily available.
Armed with an exploded-view Parts-Diagram, and a bunch of Youtube videos, I set about disassembling this old Relic.
The Barrel had some mild surface-rust spots on the outside, and was plenty dirty on the inside.
The Mechanisms inside the Receiver were gunked-up with old hard solidified-grease and a bunch of crud.
The Tenite Stock itself, although in overall good-condition for its age, was causing the biggest issue.
The front Bead-Sight is original, but at some point in its life my Grandfather soldered a rear Sight onto the Barrel.
