    Yeah I’m thinking Winchester m70 or Springfield 1903 in 30-06. Or a 22lr

    I’m pretty sure it’s 243 Winchester. I sized 2 pieces of Winchester unprimed factory brass last night as short as my die would let me. Put me pushing the shoulder back .002-.003 what it was straight from the bag. Those 2 case chambered smooth with no effort to close or open the bolt. I checked...

    I ended up getting the scope for 600$ plus tax. It was on a ruger no1 varmint and I got the mount bases too. I have to say I’m really impressed with the quality of the scope.

    Just out curiosity if I wanted to strip the parkerizing and cold blue the barreled action. What’s the best way to strip the parkerizing besides sand/bead blasting?

    I suspect the rifle just has a really tight chamber. A live round is hard to chamber but the rifle will cycle the blue a zoom snap caps fine. Bolt handle still closes hard but not as bad. I measured the lengths of the live rounds and the snap caps using a hornady case comparator on my calipers...

    The recoil pad is a red pachmayr. The only marks or stamps I can find that look out of place are under the serial number just above Tye stock line and the other is on top of the bolt handle. The one under the serial number looks like a lower case cursive d. the one on the bolt handle I can’t...

    The stock has some scallop like cuts starting just in front of the bolt handle cutout. Measuring the width starting at the beginning of the scallop towards the end of the barrel the stock tapers from 2.4 inches to 2.25 inches wide using my calipers to measure.

    Front of the stock is has a target/beaver tail shape to it. I’ll try to post a full picture.

    Not planning on lapping unless I have it rebarreled but I’m hoping I won’t have to.

    Gew 98 custom? What do I have?

    Yea after looking at that picture I highly doubt it is a ackley chamber. The rifle has a parkerized finish and I’m wondering if it had the finish applied some time after the original barrel installation was done. I know the parkerizing is inside the action and on the bolt and is making the bolt...

    Could be. The chamber is so tight I can chamber a round and open and close the bolt 5 times and it is rubbing brass off the case head excessively. I don’t know anything about the ackley improved so I’m not sure. I feel firing a case in it like the rifle sits now is not a good idea. Lol

    No contact on the case mouth

    It will chamber a cartridge but it’s tight. I took a round and painted it with a black marker and chambered it , worked the bolt up and down and ejected. The only contact on the case or bullet was on the case head and the shoulder of the cartridge. No marks on the body, neck and bullet.

    Worth possibly rebarreling ? The bolt face is a lot rougher than I thought when I picked it up. And the bolt lugs are only making 10-25% contact with the action so they need to be lapped.

    Ok so I was in a local gunshop last weekend and picked up what I think is a gewehr 98 that has been custom built at some point. It is in a walnut stock with a heavy barrel supposedly chambered in 243 Winchester. I am having several problems with this rifle. First a live round is extremely hard...
