Tabby to answer your question, is not really easy. There is nothing really big wrong with the Norincos (same thing as a Polytech). There are some small issues, the biggest being the bolt. Which is actually blown out of proportion. So having done a bit of Polytech research prior to getting my...

2 questions regarding Flash suppressors. I am in the process of building up 2 rifles from left over parts, using Mauser actions, for use in so called "survival situations". One in 30-06 and one in 308 Win. Rifles will have 24" barrels, parked finishes, bedded in laminated stocks, with turned...

Does anyone have any experience with S&K scope mounts for M1A/M14 style rifles? I have two that I have had for ages but never used. I am trying to decide if they are worth using before I invest time and ammo sighting in 2 new scopes I have coming.

Re: Mauser, hobby "build"- worth it? IIRC, on the Mk X triggers, there is a screw (top one) that adjust the spring pressure/tension. The next one down adjusts the sear engagement. Then there is one in front of the trigger, which adjusts the safety. If yours has a "ton of creep", I would...

Re: Mauser, hobby "build"- worth it? The thumb notch is a weak spot in Mauser actions. So, an Interarms MkX, or any other commercially made action without the thumb notch, will be stronger or more rigid than a military action. Barring manufacturing tolerences, yes the barrels will/should...

Re: Mauser, hobby "build"- worth it? Yugo action, with heavy 308 barrel, in a black plastic ATI stock, tactical knob installed.

Re: Tanker Garand Tanker Garands often have two problems with the barrels. #1. A barrel with a worn muzzle is shortened to Tanker style, which gives a new muzzle. But, it does absolutely nothing for the worn throat. One often sees Tanker Garands listed with brand new muzzles, but very worn...

Re: .308 vs. 7.62 In the AMERICAN RIFLEMAN magazine a couple of years ago, there was short(1 - 2 paragraph) article on this. They stated that they had found Military Surplus 7.62x51 ammo that gave higher chamber pressures than commerciallyl made .308 Win ammo. However, they did not say what...

Re: Installing a tactical bolt knob on a Mauser Actually, the ATI stock makes a decent stock with a bit of work. That is an intermediate length Yugo action bedded with AcraGlas Gel. I cut off the funky screw holes for the upper handguard, and filled the screw holes on the bottom. I filled...

I have had a target/sniper style rifle built on a Yugo Mauser action with a Parker Hale target barrel for some time. The bolt handle was forged, and was about 2.5" long. Which I felt was a bit short. So, I decide to lengthen it and install a tactical style knob. I checked with a gunsmith who...

While this isn't normal guns for here, I thought you might like to see a couple of nice restore Garands. I have spent the past two weeks working on a Basket case Garand that I got from a guy on another forum. I knew when I got it from him it would require some work. But, it took a bit more than...

Re: M1 Garand build?? If you are planning on doing the work yourself, here are some suggestions. Tools needed: Barrel vise. A standard round vise will work, but there is also one made specifically for the Garand barrel. Receiver wrench. Pull through reamer. If starting with a new barrel, a...

Re: Evaluation of a M1A failure 2nd hand info posted on another forum. "The ammo was not loaded by the shooter, it was borrowed from a buddy who got the data from a Long Range shooter. Many mistakes we're made that lead to this event. I hope the owner of the rifle will chime in here or on...

Re: Savage TR stock fit a pre-Accutrigger MKII? The E receiver is a bit longer than a non E receiver, but the E receiver barrel is smaller in diameter where it meets the receiver. The non E receiver barrel stays the the same diameter as the receiver for a distance of 4", then it steps down...

Re: Savage TR stock fit a pre-Accutrigger MKII? Mine was a non accutrigger, pre E receiver 93R17 that I mounted in a Boyd's TactiKool stock.

Is there any real(noticable) difference between the two in terms of muzzle velocity? Or are they the same thing, just called different names by different Manufacturors? I was reading a post on another forum where the OP asked about getting Subsonic and was told by several posters to just use...

Re: surplus K98 build Go to their shop/store, and browse through the stocks. They will let you do that. 3 months ago, myself and two buddies spent about 2 hours going through their stocks. He finally bought one, I didn't find any I could live without. I am being very picky about a stock...

Boyds has some unfinished tactial style stocks in Natural Laminate listed for the Savage 93 E receiver(will also fit the none E with a little work). These are factory seconds, but probably fixable. Price is $50. http://www.boydsgunstocks.com/SAVAGE-93-TACTICAL-p/888-738.htm...

Re: surplus K98 build Since you are in So Cal, why don't you go to Richards Microfit and picout a stock? They are pretty reasonable. rifle-stocks.com You just missed a Boyds sale on finished stocks and Bold triggers. but they have some others on sale you can use...
