I just got a kit for my SD9VE in the mail today.
Looking forward to having something that doesn't feel like a toy.

Howdy - I joined up here when this board started out in 2010.
I just checked and see I haven't posted in four years, since 2011!
So wow this place took off nicely, and I'll be lurking around more often.

I picked up a cleaning kit that was for a 10/22.
I don't have one, but I wanted the rod.
The kit had two cool things, a bore-guide for the muzzle end, and a patch collector box thing that went in the breech.

I think perhaps the copper cladding is there to help the cycling of semiautomatic actions. Maybe, I don't know??
I prefer plain lead in my bolt-actions.

I'd like to see some Lucas gun oil in this test.
I've used it with some super-fine steel wool on some pretty tough looking rust spots and they just vanished.

My Grandad had one with a low serial #, unfortunately stolen in the 60's.

With regard to the drying of brass, have you thought about using a hair dryer?
-
There was a nice write-up on the 99 by David R. Pie in the 2009 Gun Digest.

Very cool. I have what I think is a .57 snider enfield.
Also have a couple of original boxes of ammo.

Too late I bought an FVXP new, with warranty.
-
Can you not register the warranty online?
I did that with my new Savage.
Which reminds me I need to do the scope.

Remington 870?

If I look hard enough, I might have the original Shooting Times magazine that had the first features on them.
-
Pretty cool.
Why is there a big ring on the bolt?
Manual cocking?

Moral of the story a $1500.00 guitar doesn't make you a $1500.00 guitar player.
Umm I don't think I'd call Eric Clapton a $1500 guitar player.
He's not all that bad!

Stevens came to mind when I saw the middle one.
Too bad his boot is in the way!

There's a fellow here that has a MkII TR for sale, no sights or scope, unfired.
Would this be a good rifle to mount aperture sights for some indoor range shooting? What would you pay for one?
-
Well after reading a bit about accuracy problems and a tough trigger on the Marlin I'm back to the MkII, with peep sights I think.
-
I'm watching this thread. Would like to buy a .22 for my spousal unit for Christmas. I think a bolt action would be good to start with and have been looking at the Savage MKII. Although I like the idea of a tube-feed like on the Marlins.

This is the second gun I thought I'd post.
7.65 caliber, so it's a prohibited weapon up here in Kanuckistan.
It has a nice holster and 2 flat-bottomed mags.
I've been looking out for one with the finger extension, but the one I did see was $130.
GunParts has a listing too, but no pic. But for $40 I suspect they're not original.
Had a chance to shoot it when I had a club membership, and it was great fun but had a tendency to jam.
I thought perhaps it was that the mags weren't right for the gun, but perhaps it just needs some work.

John Utting.
You can see Utting in the first pic.

So tell us more about your guns!
Ok, I'll start here:

Hello, I thought I'd start out here with this gun, one of a few my granddad had.
I haven't been able to find out very much about the maker other than there are records that have him in London around 1799-1820.
It may have been converted to percussion at some later date.
I have also seen one book that has another maker, I don't remember the name, that had similar diamond check on the grip.

The SD polymer enhancement trigger and the SD spring kit.
Did the springs last night, doing the trigger tonight.
