    Any Swiss K-31 fans?

    Samnev some awesome rifles. I've been loading 44.0 gr of N160 with the 175 SMK. And show about 2" @ 200 but have note to up powder. When upped to 46.0 opened groups to 3" but had a lot more wind that day. 10 mph with gusts. But that is what I have been shooting but have not shot groups with it...

    Any Swiss K-31 fans?

    I have a couple K-31's. one was bubba'd by someone else before could get the sniper version. Both of mine like the 175 smk. I almost had a set of the match sights years ago but the guy descided that he wanted to keep them. Last set I saw was over 300 and that is more than I paid for both rifles...

    Gunsmithing Feed issue on 98 Mauser

    The length is what is messing you up. Can try smoothing it out under the feed lip. Is it catching on the shoulder or the bullet tip?

    Gunsmithing Factory vs aftermarket barrels?

    The Remington's don't have an outstanding rep on their rifles or barrels but get lucky sometimes and it all depends on your expectations. The Remington is something can build off as you want and can afford. Another route is savage and can change it out as progress and they tend to be more...

    Gunsmithing Feed issue on 98 Mauser

    Ok a couple questions. What is your cartridge overall length? What are you if fire forming to? On most mausers the right side mag lip will help guide in the cartridge. Same thing from the other side. I don't have a 98 here but have a 96 and worked a few rounds through it to make sure...

    Gunsmithing Factory vs aftermarket barrels?

    Sounds like on the right track. If work the x-mark trigger can get them good. What I would do in your shoes is get the rifle. Set it up and see what it will do. If not happy with it. Then look for a rock or bartlein and someone to chamber it. And if want to go to a different caliber that would...

    Gunsmithing It doesn't shoot once it warms up.....

    Fn barrels are known to last and be accurate. I am assuming factory 308 barrel on it. Does it have a pattern when starts to wander or is it just a shotgun blast? How hot is the barrel after 10 shots? Can't see a 308 getting that hot from 10 shots even rapid fire but I can't remember the profile...

    Gunsmithing McMillan rifle stocks - company sold??

    Frank, if you find that crystal ball let me know. Frank and Paul, I think the customers who think it through or have a little experience of their own understand why they can't have a barrel, stock or whatever the next day. No matter what business you are in there are a few that want and expect...

    DPMS LAR-10 accuracy .308 or 6.5 Creemore

    The 6.5 creed is going to be flatter shooting for distance. And be super sonic a lot further out all other items being equal. I agree with above about trigger being biggest improvement for accuracy improvement. Most I have shot have been sub minute guns with match factory ammo. With hand...

    'Best' Iron Sights Shooter

    personally i'm going with the 03a3 first with issued sights, then the K-31, if have the diopter sights for the k-31 it goes to the head of the class. then the garrand. part of it is the accuracy potential of the rifles themselves. also the swedes are right up there. the 96 and the ljungman.

    My options to accurize M14

    First get the guns, clean them up and them go shoot them. If you don't have a lot of open sight experience there are some guys out there that will help and then you would know what you are dealing with. With the right target the difference between scope and sights is marginal. If know what are...
