    Heavy super 300 BO data?

    Does anyone have any data on running .300 black with 200+ Grain bullets supersonic? This is the only bottleneck cartridge I can get away with for deer in my dumbass state. Single loading in a pistol AR platform. How fast can it push a 220 elf 230 Berger 245 sierra, or a 250 atip?

    Gunsmithing Mauser bottom metal fit

    Thinking about drilling out the action screw holes and tapping with 5/16-18. I’m getting frustrated with the OEM 1/4-22 55 degree whitworth threads. I think I’ll end up needing custom length screws and a standard thread would make that a lot easier.

    Ghislaine Maxwell found GUILTY of 5 of 6 counts!

    I suspect her dead man’s switch is the only thing keeping her alive.

    Gunsmithing Mauser bottom metal fit

    It’s an internal box style with a floor plate. Like a 700 bdl.

    Gunsmithing Mauser bottom metal fit

    I’m working on putting this yugo 48 Mauser into a new “semi inlet” walnut stock I got on eBay. I’ve never done any stock work and my only reference was the factory mil stock. Working on getting the action and bottom metal fit into the inlet without any tension on the middle of the bottom...

    Maggie’s Machining and woodworking for guns

    I bought a 1946 South Bend model b from a guy last summer and have very slowly been learning how to use it. Found a complete set of change gears and bought some tooling from shars. Starting to be able to make half-ass correct simple parts. 3/4” mild steel round. Today I worked on a rear Pilar...

    Source for Mauser magnum action?

    I found Mayfair recently but after reading a bit I thought they don’t sell to individuals only certain builders and at “if you have to ask” prices

    Source for Mauser magnum action?

    Id like to build a traditional style hunting rifle with a hand oiled walnut stock and deep rust bluing to go along with my tweed suit and gentlemanly demeanor. What are my options for a “Mauser” action with a magnum (.532) bolt face and un-modified 375 H&H internal mag length? Seems like the...

    New CZ rifle series ?

    I was hoping for a suitable replacement for their discontinued 550 line. Nothing over .300WM, no CRF, no sexy oil finish walnut. Meh.

    1898 Mauser

    What’s a good source for a mostly inleted, shaped but unfinished walnut stock for a yugo M48? I also want to trade out the garbage factory sights. un-soldering the factory sights and soldering on new ones doesn’t sound super difficult but finding iron sights intended for actual aiming is...

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    Where are you guys getting scrap? I’m the most amateur of amateurs with a weld pro 200 tig and a 1946 South Bend 9” model b. I want to practice so I can get good enough to do small jobs for myself and friends but the price of new steel makes my eyes bleed. I priced some 1/2” wall 4x4 square...

    Gunsmithing Double rifle making?

    rth1800 said: A cheap, cobbled together double is a bad tool and a worse investment. So you’re saying I shouldn’t try and build a 500 nitro on the action from the sawed off JC Penny 12ga side by side I bought in the parking lot of the gun buyback?

    Gunsmithing Double rifle making?

    Every time I see a double rifle used by some dentist to drop Cape buffalo I always go down a google image rabbit hole that’s ends in a frustrating “if you have to ask how much you can’t afford it” realization when it comes to price/availability. I understand that the grade of wood, engraving...
