Since you're converting the rifle to centerfire and the Lane extractor is installed, you should be able to use modern brass, as you mentioned. The stiff action should smooth out after cleaning and use, especially with the new centerfire mechanism. You've got an exciting project ahead, and getting the rifle back to shooting condition will certainly be rewarding.

Pony, Grinnell is on I-80 take Hwy 146 south about 8 miles, at the stop sign turn east, go about a mile and a half and the range will be on your left. There is a good place for a tent on site.
 Mike, Sunday will be a rifle/pistol event, period or modern approximately 10 rounds each. Steel targets at about 15-20 for pistol / 80-100 for rifle.
 Sign in at 0800, start shooting at 0900. Ken and I have some new things and some favorites for this match. See ya'all then

It is official, I am moving to an apartment in Cook Nebraska, my dad's hometown.

Thanks everyone for the shoot, we just got home by way of the museum of the fur trade, Fort
Laramie, Cody Wy. Yellowstone, and for real excitement, icy, foggy, windy over the
top of the Beartooth Highway.

Pony, it's Big Springs shooting complex.4945 IA-146, Searsboro, IA 50242 hope that helps. I'm in Colorado getting ready to go elk hunting. Hopefully Al will add anything you need to know.

G10s are great grips, but look at Hogue rubber monogrips. Since this is gonna be a hiking/defense gun either rubber or G10 would be good choices. The G10s will look better but the rubber ones will feel great.

I used to be an Altar Boy when I was in grade school. We had to memorize the prayers in Latin. Never knew what they meant.

we don't have a 'Like" button so I'll say... Very nice.

Good afternoon to all of you. 71 here and still raining from Francine. Supposed to dry out in the next coupla days. Got to the chiropractor today and he helped a lot. Going tomorrow too, to get completely straightened out. I am just hard-headed, I know I should just go regularly, but...
Anyway picked up the latest medpuppy, pics are in the gunoholic thread. Gonna drink some coffee and rest again this afternoon.

Finally got the little Tisas home. I think it will like it here. At least it will be cared for properly.
