Re: Winchester 52 questions Could be all extra holes were for Palm Rests. People change there offhand shooting position. Many shooters had little money to spend for the adjustable Palm Rest. You see Palm Rests made from old tool parts to screws with blocks of wood attached. Remember these...

Re: Winchester 52 questions Please excuse my Senior moment, as I'm legally allowed to have one. He was talking about 52C I was thinking 52D. Just not paying attention, gets harder as you get older. Yes you are absolutely right about 52C.

Re: Winchester 52 questions Been there done that. I'm no expert but all 52C I have seen were single shot. You may have a very early gun that was magazine feed. For the 52's I have worked with, where I used the original stock, I made an ecussion for the rear screw which I epoxy-ed in the...

Re: Best barrel maker for 22lr Eric Johnson, if he were still alive. I would suggest you go to 6mmBR.com and look up interview with Kreiger at Shot Show. According to him button rifled barrels must be pulled through a true cylinder. All contouring and fluting must be done after rifling. He...

Re: Modified 52 stock The butt pad is sold by O K Webber, it is a Freeland design made by Mershon. This is a pad that has been around for a while and looks good on Target Rifles. The cost $10.00. I installed the pad and it is very easy to do. The pad sands very easily and has no metal plate...

Re: My new MKIIFV Stock If you are interested in having these made in wood it is a simple process, you simply need a master to follow. There is a shop in northern PA (Michael M. Kokolus) that does excellent work and would be able to create a master for you. He charges by the hour for this...

This is a 52 D stock that I reshaped for a older style look.

An option to plastic stocks. Quarter sawed English Walnut. Adjustable recoil pad is a Sinclair AR-15. I made the cheek piece hardware and trigger guard. Stock is designed to be used for both Tactical and Small Bore Position. Barrel is Winchester that I turned to .800 at muzzle, with .750...

Re: My new MKIIFV Stock Excellent job, very well done. There is nothing like owning a one of a kind gun that you built yourself. When someone talks about a build they are doing this is what it should mean.

Re: Winchester 70 ejec tion problem Chpprguy, I think you are correct in your analysis as to what may be causing the problem. I took the gun to Sid Goodling, who is a well known Bench Rest Gunsmith. He thought the same thing that there was too much pressure on case pushing it free of the...

Re: Winchester 70 ejec tion problem I'm not able to post pictures but I will have someone who can, post them to you, or post on this site.

Re: Winchester 70 ejec tion problem I have tried Winchester, Lapua and military cases with same result. You may be correct that bolt face is over size. Yes the ejector is 1/4" in diameter. earlier ejectors were smaller.

I purchased a Winchester Mod. 70 push feed HV in 223. I'm having a problem with ejection of empty cases. The problem is not the ejector but the extractor. The cases are not held in the extractor long enough to clear the receiver walls to eject' they simply fall into the magazine. Using a dummy...

Just started working on loads for a 223 AI. Barrel is Kreiger 1/6.5 twist. I want to use Breger 90gr VLD. I have a excellent load using Varget but was wondering if anybody has worked with any other powders, for this cartridge and bullet. Obveous reason is unavailability of Varget, but I'm also...

Re: Thoughts on the CZ 453 Varmint?? The issue I found with my CZ was after shooting Win. 52 and Anschutz, I didn't like the scaled down action. While working the bolt on a 52 0r 54 is not the same as that of a 700, 40X 0r 70 it is much close than a CZ. The rifle shot very well, but I got rid...

Re: 22LR Bullet Shapers/Sizers Picked up one of Neal Waltz's sizers. Weather too bad to test outside but shot on my indoor 50' range. Tried CCI Standard Velocity, RWS Target & Wolf Match Target. CCI Standard & RWS Target did not show any real difference. With Wolf it did reduce overall group...

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal I think your idea for using AICS magazines modified to accept a commonly available 22 lr. magazine is by far the best solution.

Re: Just got a nice 40x 22 Lr.. Magazine/ bottom metal I have 3 40x rifles that will be coming your way if you get it worked out.
