    Photos Improvised Ejector Removal Tool

    Re: Improvised Extractor Removal Tool Same here, I just use the firing pin to push out the extractor retainer pin and it's out in a second. Never had any trouble.

    barrel twist on a Monsin??

    Re: barrel twist on a Monsin?? You're welcome. I noticed that my mosin likes heavier bullets. I get good results with factory sellier & bellot 180 grain 7,62 x 54R. I now reload with .303 caliber 174 grain Privi (PPU) bullets. They are cheap bullets but give me very good results, around...

    barrel twist on a Monsin??

    Re: barrel twist on a Monsin?? I measured the twist rate of my mosin nagant 91/30 a while back, mine is a 1942 Izhevsk. I can't recall the exact number but it was a faster twist rate then you would expect from a rifle that is primarily designed for light 147 grain projectiles. I know the...

    NOW THAT IT'S MOUNTED

    Re: NOW THAT IT'S MOUNTED That is just gorgeous! I have always had a weak spot for the old steel and walnut and it doesn't get any better than this. If it shoots as good as it looks (and coming from Chuck I'm sure it will), this is a rifle to pass on to your children. Thanks for sharing, I...

    What the heck is this?

    Re: What the heck is this? The SVT-40 a collectors rifle? They sell for $650-$800? That's an interesting difference compared to my country (The Netherlands). Over here a rifle usually sells for two times as much as the USA, I can buy a Remington 700 police for about $1500. strange to see...

    Re: USMC M1903 A1 / 1941 Sniper Rifle Project begins That is just gorgeous! To me nothing beats the looks of oiled wood and blued steel. I am looking forward to see the range results. 1903's are very hard to find over here, I envy you a lot. Have fun and be proud of it.

    Rifle Scopes Absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness with aimpoint?

    Re: Absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness with aimpoint? Thanks for your opinion RotARy15. And thanks for the excellent link Drifter 1. I have a fixed front site. I regularly shoot internal competition at my range so I will continue to use the carry handle sight. I haven't decided on a...

    Rifle Scopes Absolute or lower 1/3rd co-witness with aimpoint?

    I bought an Aimpoint Comp C3 for my flattop ar15 and I am currently deciding over which height mount I should buy for it. We don't have as much choice over here in The Netherlands but the best option I have seen is either the American Defense AD-68, which gives an absolute co-witness according...

    Please identify this upper/bolt & twist rate

    I bought this used rifle a week ago and have yet to shoot it. The gunstore owner told me it is a Sabre Defence with 1 in 9" twist. However, I can't find any Sabre markings on the upper, bolt or barrel. I tried to look for pictures of common Sabre markings but none of them seem to match my...

    Show 'em

    Re: Show 'em I would put a stock on it and see how it shoots first, that way you would be able to see what the rifle can do on its own. Shoot it for some time, then change the barrel, that way you would have a nice "before and after" comparison. What a bummer that the first rifle was...

    Show 'em

    Re: Show 'em That rifle is gorgeous! I especially love the stock and the green scope. There is just something about oiled walnut and blued steel that can't be beaten by modern day firearms. I agree, We have a lot of restrictions here. On the one hand it makes it (arguably) a lot safer, but...

    My new M40 replica.

    Re: My new M40 replica. Thanks for the pictures! Those where exactly the ones I needed. The stock I have is from numrich too (part # 553690), some other hide members have used that same stock in some of their M40 builds. It seems that my fore end needs a lot of rounding.
