    Want to have my 1903A3 re-barrelled by Krieger

    Hey guys, I have a good condition Smith and Corona 1903A3 that is nice, but it doesn't have the original stock and isn't a #'s matching piece. The barrel looks like it's seen better days and i was thinking about having Krieger change the barrel for me. I'm wondering if anyone has had this done...

    Is it the rifle? the scope? or the mounts?

    Re: Is it the rifle? the scope? or the mounts? Try removing the upper from the lower, pull the bolt and carrier, set the rifle in a rest, and literally look down the bore and get the target centered to the opening at the end of the bore. That's where the bullet should go :-) Maybe an 1-2...

    15" free float tubes, any experiences on those ?

    Re: 15" free float tubes, any experiences on those ? Precision reflex inc (PRI) makes a 15.3" i think, and its carbon fiber!!! I have one on my 20" with iron sights and it shoots perfectly fine. It has a little flex, but i think even the aluminum ones do at that length. It's feather weight...

    Re: Correct O.A.L. or free bore question All of this sounds like very usable info :-))) Thanks!!! As far as VDL's go, why would I or wouldn't I want to use them? They sound like something that would make sense for greater distances I guess what it boils down to is if I were going to shoot a...

    Correct O.A.L. or free bore question

    Re: Correct O.A.L. or free bore question Now, if you are shooting VLDs you are going to have a harder time based on their finicky nature in relation to seating depth. VLD???

    Correct O.A.L. or free bore question

    Re: Correct O.A.L. or free bore question Maybe excessive wasn't the right choice of words. I'm a tool and die maker by trade and most things i've ever come across usually work better closer in tolerance than further. What i meant to say was that if factory Federal GMM is .040" away from my...

    which gas piston kit?

    Re: which gas piston kit? I have a Osprey on my 11.5" BCM barrel and it works flawlessly! Can't imagine the inch shorter on yours making to much of a difference. I've had about 1500 rou ds down the pipe and the only issue I've had was the bolt not holding open after last round. I did have a...
