Re: 7.62x54 SMLE??? <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tactical .22</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i think it's a great idea - I love the Enfield action, but the ammo is hard to come by cheaply. I hate the Mosin Nagant action, but the ammo is really...

Re: 7.62x54 SMLE??? Thanks Barsaboy! Ill give him a shout and see what he says ! Are conversions popular on your side? or are there not enough owners to really make a mark? And Thunderin300 sound like a cool project dont know if you hunt but it sounds like a sweet pig/deer gun and just a...

Re: 7.62x54 SMLE??? Thanks Tactical .22, Badshot308 and Barsaboy for all of the info pertaining to chamber pressure it looks to be close. And that article about the conversion certainly helped out my drive for this! Although it sounded as though they only reamed the chamber, and didn't do a...

Hey fellas I have an abused SMLE No. 4 rifle and the BBl is toast (matter of fact all I have is the barreled action no stock bolt etc.)I was looking at super cheap 54r ammo and started looking up the differences in the cases. The 54r has a higher case capacity and higher pressure ratings. Plus...

Re: Filing down the tip of a .223/5.56? I know in our briefs prior to entering Iraq they would specifically tell us to not file down the tips of the rounds, needless to say we did try but they were the 62gr green tips and it proved too difficult. I also have heard stories from other Marines...

Re: Knight Rifles .950 JDJ- Holy Sh*t hmm think this will end any caliber debates? I wanna see someone shoot this from an offhand position lol

Re: Sig Mosquito Scared Me Away from Sig Pistols My buddy bought a 238 nitron (or whatever the finish is) and I fell in love with it no problems and we didn't even lube it up first! sent 50 rds of WWB with out a hiccup and it was very accurate for its size (@ 2" groups at 20-25 feet). Hated...

Re: drunken dreams yea the bottle is gone and so is my buzz amazing how well stuff works out in your head when your drunk! lol

Hey guys so I am a lil tipsy enjoying some good crown and started thinking about my love of the SVD and how cheap the 7.63x54r ammo is. Then I began talking to my buddy about his SKS and started thinking... "is it possible to either build or modify the SKS action to accept the larger 7.62x54...

Re: Good Guy List Cant say enough good about Big Joe. Great to deal with ensured everything went well and responded promptly. will be more than happy to deal with again.

Re: ACOG or what? ok I suppose I will lean t'ward the ACOG if you say the elcan is that sensitive, at least my ACOG's were true even though they were foggy as hell. Yea Ive broken them before Im not going to say I was gentle but I didn't use them as a hammer either

Re: Leveling a Scope.....WTF?!!!!!!! is it possible that you are canting your self or the rifle when you look through it? just a thought

Re: ACOG or what? I kinda like the simplicity of a fixed power optic they (in my mind) seem more reliable plus I'm used to the idea of just using holdovers and estimating distance with it. I guess its kinda like an AK vs AR argument one is just built to work no mater the operator while the...

Hey guys sorry if the title id misleading but I am at an impasse I have two .308 rifles that I really enjoy, an M1a scout and a para FAL with 16 inch bbl. I currently have no optic on the M1a and a vortex red dot on the FAL which works good at my range about 50-60 yards and sometimes out to 100...

Re: 2012 24-HOUR SNIPER ADVENTURE CHALLENGE I got a partner and were working up for this now. It will be our first tactical competition but were stoked! How will the range be doctored i.e. is it like a here is your map and list of objectives your time starts now? or are we going to get briefs...
