Bound's hubby here:\n\nTypically, you can get parts and schematics (for a price) from Numrich Arms (see link below). They do have a schematic on-line you can access for the Model 99 (same link).\n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe Colt Match Target HBAR is a heavy barreled target rifle. HBAR stands for heavy barrel ... nothing else!\n\nAs shown in the picture, you can not tell the difference between a standard M16/AR15 and an HBAR, with the handguards on! When you remove the handguards, the difference is quite evident, as you compare barrel contours! \n\nThe barrel of the standard M16/AR15 is tapered under the handguards as a weight saving measure for a troop rifle. This barrel has basically a wisp contour, but forward of the handguards, it appears as though the rifle has a heavy barrel.\n\nThe barrel on an HBAR does not have the narrowed taper under the handguard. Basically, the HBAR barrel maintains a near consistent diameter. The diameter under the barrel is actually a little greater than the diameter forward of the handguards. \n\nOne other difference that is not readily visible, is the rifling twist of the barrels. The standard "light contour" barrel of a standard M16/AR15 has a 1 twist in 9" barrel. The HBAR has a 1 twist in 7" barrel. The faster twist on the HBAR allows the rifle to shoot heavier bullets in the 75 to 80 grain range. The slower twist barrel will shoot bullets up to about 70 grains accurately at longer distances.\n\nGood luck!

Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst, before you do anything ... is the rifle loaded?\n\nSecond, it sounds as though the bolt body may be bent or damaged from a previous round fired (perhaps an improperly handloaded round?), and the bolt started to collapse. This is not a receiver problem! A gunsmith should not have to "re-mill" the receiver. And, don't use WD-40 ... I have had bad luck with it and guns.\n\nYour wisest move is to first call Browning and talk with them ... they will suggest that you send the rifle to them for inspection and repair. Take the rifle and its packaging to your local gunsmith for shipment back to Browning ... you can no longer do this yourself! \n\nAs an aside ... I had a similar problem with a Remington 700 ... and they replaced the bolt ... plain and simple. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer!

First, do some research. Go to surplusrifle.com and read the sections on the 98k, then join the forums and ask in the right section who has them for sale. You will find lots of friendly folks like me who love collecting and shooting these old rifles and know just about everything there is to know about them. \n\nYou will need a dealer to order and transfer the rifle to you....if you live in the US of course....and expect to pay him $15 to $25 for this service. Most independent Pawn shops are also dealers and will often order from a catalog for you. \n\nExpect a German k98k to be $200 to $500 and this depends on factory codes and condition. Accuracy is sort of a crap shoot in dealing with old used rifles, so be prepared that it maybe won't shoot as well as you like. \n\nAlso, the Czech model 24 Mauser is one of the best Mausers ever made and used by the Czech and German armies during WWII. Yes, the Czechs fought with the Nazis. Slightly cheaper. \n\nA great deal is the Yugo M48 (also called Bosnian, Serb, etc.). After WWII the allies gave General Tito of Yugoslavia an entire Mauser factory and moved it to Zastava. The Yugoslavians started making an almost exact model and this rifle was used extensively in the wars there in the 1980s on. You can find these sometimes almost new for $125 and less. \n\nAlso, the Mausers made rifles for the Turks in 8mm. The Turk mausers are plentiful and look beat up, but let me tell you I have one that will shoot better than any of the other six dozen rifles I own, with cheap surplus ammo no less.  \n\nAvoid a company called Mitchell's Mausers. They refinish old rifles and put new stocks on them and then charge way to much IMHO. \n\nYou also want to look at a Swiss K31. Beautiful rifles that represent the very best of European manufacturing and craftsmanship in available 7.5mm Swiss caliber. To buy a rifle of this quality new would cost three to four thousand dollars and you can get them for $150. Excellent deer rifle, one of the very best ever made. The Swiss take shooting seriously. \n\nYou need to think long and hard about scoping one of these.....to drill and tap one would ruin their collector value. If you are a good rifleman, you don't need no stinking scope anyway. But if you must have a scope, get the Swiss. They make a clamp on scope mount that's rock solid. Or use a Scout style scope setup.

I have a number of .22s and have owned many more. I normally shoot target with larger calibres, but for teaching beginners and just for plain cheap fun I always bring a couple of .22s along. \n\nWhile the Ruger 10/22 is OK straight out the box, it's not the greatest either in operation, accuracy or ease of disassembly for cleaning. The really great thing about the Ruger is the number of aftermarket parts you can find to make it a real tackdriver. A numer of modifications overcome all its shortcomings, but you will wind up spending $200 or more on a $175 carbine. \n\nIf you really have to have a 25 or 30 round magazine, the 10/22 is the way to go. Be advised that these mags are not easy to load up, so what seems like a time saver may not actually be. No .22 rifle uses "clips"....you are using that term incorrectly, it's a "magazine". The two are not the same despite Hollywood's incessant misuse of the words. \n\nContrary to a previous post, the US law that limited magazines to 10 rounds on rifles expired several years ago thankfully. That's only for handguns now. \n\nFor sheer accuracy, you'll want a bolt action. But they just aren't as fun as a semi for rapid fire, are they?\n\nMy best .22 semi rifle ever?  The Marlin Model 60, without a doubt. I've had maybe 20 different .22s, many more expensive, but the Marlin is a champ. I would recommend one to anyone looking for a good .22 that's affordable. Since the 1950s Marlin has sold millions of this model, making it one of the most owned .22 rifles in history. \n\nI've never bought one new either. Of the four M60s I currently own, all came used from either a gun show or a pawn shop with prices ranging from $50 to $125 for a perfect 1970s model with a good scope, sling and case. \n\nNOTE: The 1960s and 1970s models of the 60 held 18 rounds of .22 LR. I'll bet you $100 I can load and shoot 50 rounds in my Marlin with the tube magazine faster than you can load a shoot 50 with the Ruger!\n\nThe used market for 10/22 is hot. They are hard to find used and the prices are usually near retail, if you can find one without serious mods, in which case the prices are outrageous.\n\nCheck out   www.rimfirecentral.com. Join the forums and read all the posts for different manufacturers, etc. This site is all about .22s and the folks that love them. It's also a great place to get all kinds of advice on rifles, mods, ammo, etc. Don't be afraid to post noob questions, they're good people and won't be too hard on you!   \n\nGo to www.sportsmansguide.com and type 10/22 into the search box. These guys are usually much cheaper than Cabela's and have more gun stuff. \n\n\n\nWrite to me for any more advice...audnorge

Bound's hubby here:\n\nYour Remington 710 HAS a "pistol grip style" stock!\n\nNow, I believe that your Remington 710 is already "free-floated"! If you can slide a piece of composition paper along the barrel to the receiver, the barrel is "free floated". If the paper stops within 2 to 3 inches of the tip of the foreend, the barrel is mounted with a "pre-determined amount" of "up" pressure for accuracy. \n\nNow, your desire for an "adjustable cheek piece" stock. This type of stock is generally considered a specialty item for TARGET rifles. Sorry, but the rifle you have is NOT in the league of a target rifle ... and this type of stock is not readily available! Sounds like you are trying to turn your 710 into a target rifle ... that is like trying to turn a "Jack Russel" into a Saint Bernard! (It just ain't gonna happen!). Now, you can find a custom stock maker that will take your money and make the stock you want ... but you will be out much more than what your 710 cost!\n\nNow, what would be more expensive than the custom stock, would be the mechanism that finely adjusts the cheek piece, ... the last time I saw one (either a Anschutz or Walther's), the cost for the mechanism was close to $200 ... and that was about 5 years ago!\n\nHINT: What may better serve your needs (I am reading between the lines here) us a "high comb" stock, that would better raise your eye [by raising the cheek] to "scope height". The problem is ... stocks are not made for the "710", so you would need to buy a stock blank (see link) and have it inletted. By the way, 99.9% of all rifle stocks made today for bolt action rifles are of a pistol grip design!\n\nGood luck!

that's kind of a tough question to answer.\n\nthey make "sniper rifles" for about 20 dollars on ebay but it's really just a terrible spring rifle.\n\nthe cheapest "true snipers" are gonna run 100 dollars at the least. i myself own a UTG accushot 700 (near identicle to the m324) the gun's really quite accurate (can hit a can at about 200-250 feet when hop up is set right) and you'll feel the shot.\nthis isn't one of the favorite guns out there but is definately one of the cheapest. i got mine from www.hobbytron.com go check out their section on sniper rifles, they have some decent ones pretty cheap\n\n\nalso i've been seeing replica's of the ak SVD sniper rifle in full auto mode, i've heard they're pretty accurate but i haven't seen many reviews and have never personally seen one, they have a 15 RPS and about 280 FPS so it may be worth looking into. they run about 80 dollars and 20 or 30 shipping.\n\nto find one of those go to ebay.com and look up SVD sniper in airsoft or Dragunov sniper in airsoft

I second the Rem 710 for you. Can't go wrong and you can always trade it up in the future if you want, knowing you can get 80% or more of what you invested.  \n\nIt's a great beginner package, good quality and easy to operate and clean. \n\nStart with a bolt action gun. It will shoot better than you....meaning you can practice a lot from a bench rest and work on your shooting skills without dealing with the complexities of a semi-auto. \n\n30.06 is a good calibre. Easy to find and cheap practice ammo and it will serve to hunt just about anything you want in North America. Don't be seduced by any of the Magnum calibres. They are often more than is needed and can be expensive to practice with. They are in my book just "macho toys" for big boys.

I would suggest getting a color gaurd rifle.  Although made of wood, you should not have much trouble with breakage, unless you are practicing on concrete.  I would suggest practicing in your yard.  \n\nBuying a Garand with most parts is going to run you in the 500 to 800 dollar range at most gun shops, and this is for a worn used rack grade piece.  A collectors piece is more in the 1200 to 1800 dollar range.\n\nSecondly, for your purposes, you need no internal mechanisms, as you are not practicing firing the rifle, only spinning it.  \n\nI think a high school color gaurd rifle, weighted with metal if it is not heavy enough, would be more than sufficient. \n\nLastly, the U.S. Rifle M1 was made by Springfield, and Springfield is a company not a particular rifle.

Check www.gunbroker.com to see what they sell for. It sounds good to me. I had one a few years back, ate buckshot and birdshot with no problems. I think I still have a pistol grip and heat sheild that I never put on it. It was stolen with my vehicle, sad to say and never replaced it.

The best rifle?  Probably not, but it is an excellent choice.  I have a Ruger #1 in .458 Winchester Mag.  I love it.  Is it better than my Steyr Mannlicher Pro Hunter?  My Remington 700 .25-06?  Well, the .458 is a better hog gun than the .25-06, but not a better deer gun.  And the Steyr (in .30-06 Springfield) is a better all around rifle.  \n\nSo you see, it is a matter of matching your gun to the game.\n\nHappy hunting!\n\nH

Check with a gunsmith or several gunsmiths.  You'd be surprised at the spare parts they might just have stored away waiting for just such an occasion.  \n\nI found a magazine for an old Mauser pistol this way and iron-sights for my Belgium made .22 caliber Browning automatic.  \n\nGood luck.\n\nH

I just took a look at kaylora's answer and frankly I don't see what the fuss is about. If this childish display of temper is how you act regularly, I too am worried about your ability to handle a rifle safely. Now I suppose you'll go and ask a snide question online about me, too.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nI have had issues with Mossberg Firearms. I am an avid fan of Remington's. Personally, I am not particularly fond of the Model 710, but if it's all you can afford then it's the best game in town! Now, if you want to spend your money wisely you should be able to find a good used Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70 for under $300. You could get a good Weaver scope (K4 or K6) for about $50. You will get a better hunting rig this way. \n\nNow, concerning caliber... the .270 can be used on most North American game, except the larger bears, if you place your shot right. The .30-06 is good for all North American game. For deer hunting, as you desire, either is a good caliber choice. The .30-06 may recoil a little bit more. \n\nGood luck.

get a tippmann 98 custom.  it it tourny grade right out of the box a,d you can customize it like heck and still have it ending up costing as much as one of theose autocockers.  i have one and ive got a flatline and a stock on it and i get superb performance out of that and the whole thing cost me around 250 after stock and barrel were added on.  the gun itself comes with a kit and costs around 170.  also they just came out with a loading system that is the same as the a5 so now its able to load the balls faster.  it is also a great gun because you can bang it against stuff and you wont break it in any way.  thats the one i recommend

Rather than try to tell you about a rifle you didn't ask about, I'll tell you about the one you did ask about. I have 2 Bushmasters, the M17S (Bullpup) and the Patrolmans carbine M4A3, I've shot many of the varminters as well. You've made a good decision to get a Bushmaster, their rifles are unsurpassed and their customer service is outstanding. The varminters I've shot will give consistant -1 moa groups at 200 yards with a good scope. I've shot high end .223(Wilson combat) and low end .223 ( saiga) The bushmaster will outperform the saiga and will keep up with and often beat the wilson combat rifles.The varminter is of course an accurised weapon giving you, the shooter, the benefit of years of research done by Bushmaster.I highly recommend the Harris bipod if you plan on doing long distance target shooting. The varminter is by no means a combat rifle, it's intended purpose is highly accurate target shooting and of course, taking care of pesky varmints from a distance.Unlike the lower end .223's intended for combat accuracy, great care is given to each varminter to ensure accuracy and dependability.
