    Model of 1917 rebuild

    Re: Model of 1917 rebuild Look for stocks for the 1917 Enfield. I know that Richard's Microfit inlets for that action; MPI makes a fiberglass stock for it. You need to determine if you have the original 'fish-belly' configuration stock, or if your floorplate has been straightened. Stock...

    Difference at 100yrds?

    Re: Difference at 100yrds? The 147 grain bulk ammo you're using probably isn't capable of the accuracy you're striving to obtain. I honestly think that consistent 1" groups are about all you can hope for, and that may even be a bit optimistic. Have you tried grouping with a known quantity...

    Gunsmithing REM 700 SA scope base question

    Re: REM 700 SA scope base question The location of the screw holes will be identical between actions of the same size and type. Well, within manufacturer's specs, anyway. The only rifles you would ever have to worry about hole placement is either sporterized military rifles, or factory...

    Rem 700 stock question

    Re: Rem 700 stock question I've done a couple, and both required that the magazine box be shortened about 1/4". Other than that, it's a drop-in proposition. If you have a belt sander or bandsaw, you can chop the mag box pretty easily; otherwise I'd just order a BDL mag box - they're not...

    Need some help with a AR trade -

    Re: Need some help with a AR trade - I would have to agree with ORD; none of the major parts manufacturers cited are considered 'Tier 1,' so a lot will depend on: 1) The value you place on your Luger. 2) Your intended use(s) for the AR. For a plinking/hunting/general use gun, probably...

    Q's about a 16.5" .308

    Re: Q's about a 16.5" .308 Deer aren't exceptionally difficult to kill, and 208 grains is way more bullet than you need for the task. I've not tried the 208 AMAX in any .308, but I doubt a 1-12 will stabilize it. I'd suggest something in the 130-165 grain weight range for deer. I've always...

    Bullet Swaging Dies

    Re: Bullet Swaging Dies One problem is that if you want to swage anything larger than about 6mm bullets, you WILL NEED a hydraulic swaging press - if you want to make any volume of bullets, anyway. Those presses are quite expensive - probably $3,500-5,000, ballpark. That's one major...

    Paint Removal

    Re: Paint Removal Lauer claims that cured Duracoat can only be removed by abrasive blasting. That said, some have reported good results by using various paint strippers. For plain old spray paint, I'd start with mineral spirits and a rag. FWIW, I once sprayed brake cleaner on a gun that I...

    Gunsmithing Need Help With AR

    Re: Need Help With AR Yeah, sounds like your scope shit the bed. FWIW I've experienced a very similar problem with a varmint rifle; it went from shooting solid .3s to 3" groups overnight! Something in the scope broke.

    When buying used with mount

    Re: When buying used with mount I think I'd have to take it off and inspect everything. I have found that there's frequently a reason people leave scope mounts on a rifle when they sell it.

    Expected barrel life

    Re: Expected barrel life <span style="font-style: italic">Shooting Times</span> magazine torture-tested a Colt HBAR several years ago by firing 10,000 rounds through it basically as fast as they could. At the end of the test it shot a smaller group than what it had at the beginning - but...

    question on something i saw on bullet dia

    Re: question on something i saw on bullet dia Current .22 Mag groove diameter is .224', same as .22 centerfire. That's the reason that .22/22 Mag interchangeable revolvers shoot better with one cartridge or the other, depending on their groove diameter.

    Re: Need help Finding a staking tool for Browning H... If you want your front sight to stay on forever, have a dovetailed front sight installed. You'll never have to mess with it again.

    .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308

    Re: .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308 How about going to something larger than .30, like 9,3X62 or .35 Whelen? They have more than enough power for the large animals you're hunting. Neither one is a long-range cartridge, but one must make compromises sometimes. I honestly think that...

    .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308

    Re: .30 dual use target/hunting and NOT .308 How about starting with the 7,92X57mm Mauser? You could easily neck the case down to .30, and it should produce velocities slightly higher than the .308. Or how about taking 7X64 RWS or .280 Remington and expanding it to .308? The problem with...
