I've owned over a dozen #1s and #3s over the years. All this sounds very familiar and is good advice. I will add that the earliest #1s usually had pretty good barrels (I've read they were Douglas...

Thanks for the pic. I was hoping you might be able to snap a few pics of how the single shot platform is made and functions. Is it an aluminum or steel trough, or is there some kind of spring...

Mixed Bag
Well, I got to the range without incident and was able to shoot the .22 Tanuki for the very first time this weekend.

Yes, it went down the road. The main problems involved small but important details, such as bolt binding when operated briskly, the cocking piece not being very secure when the bolt was retracted...

.22 Tanuki Update
Well, I've had the PTG reamer now for about 3 months but had no time to do the things that have to happen before I could chamber it. Namely, form some cases to use as a headspace gauge, and that...

You and everyone else wants a nice repeating bolt-action .22 Hornet. Other than a very few early M38s (in odd-ball, non-Hornet calibers), the Coopers are all single shots.

None of the available .22 Hornets were 100% "dream quality" for me. A Sako L-46 would have been close, but one for the right price never came along. I've owned everything you can imagine: Brnos, CZs,...
