Re: Alternative to having my barrel threaded? Its a Mosin Nagant 91/30. And the thread pattern on the muzzle brake is 14x1 LH. The diameter of the barrel is too large to thread with a die. I would have to have someone turn it down to the proper diameter using a lathe which is going to still...

I have an old surplus rifle that has had the barrel cut to 18".I would like to have an AK74 style brake attached to the muzzle for added crown protection, and cosmetic purposes. I do not require that it be removable afterwards. I have tried numerous local gunsmiths and none of which have been...

Re: What's the difference between these two scopes? Ah good to know. I'll probably be getting it around Christmas.

Re: What's the difference between these two scopes? Unfortunately i won't be able to buy either scope until after midway's sale on the 3200 is expired. So that means I have to consider the cost of that scope to be 250 instead of 199.

Re: Ring Height Info - How to Measure Correctly Some manufactures measure from the top of the rail to the bottom of the scope tube and others measure from the top of the rail to the center of the ring hole. The funny thing is that most of them don't tell you which measurement they use. I...

I'm looking for a new scope to go on my 700 and I've been looking at the Bushnell Elite 3200 tactical. But I just found the Bushnell ET1040 for a considerably lower price and to me they appear to be pretty much the same scope other than the fact that the 3200 uses mil click adjustments rather...

Re: 7.62x54r load question. The rifle in question is a russian 91/30 hex receiver made in 1935.

Re: 7.62x54r load question. I slugged my mosin's bore a couple months back and if my memory serves me correctly it came out to .310 however I read somewhere about a guy messing his gun up shooting .311 bullets out of a bore that he slugged and thought to be .311 So with that in mind I decided...

Re: Die/press brand interchangeability? Okay, thank you!

Hey guys, is it possible to use Lee, or Hornady dies in say, a RCBS press or vice versa? I was just wondering if they were all made with the same thread patterns and diameters and that sort of thing.

Re: New rifle build. Help needed. Ok here's an update on how this rifle is coming together. I decided to go with the centerpoint 4-16x40 mil dot scope which is a great scope for the money. The glass is what you would expect it to be for what the scope costs however, It tracks very well and...

Re: 7.62x54r load question. Sounds interesting, what is the cost per round with that load if you don't mind my asking?

Hey guys, I hope this is in the right section. I am wondering if anyone has a good 3-400 yard load worked up for their Mosin Nagant. preferably using Varget powder with a bullet in the 160's to 170's grain weight but I'll give anything a try. Thanks!

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? Yeah, I cut it to 20" and the gun's group shrank to about 1/4 MOA. Not bad if i do say so myself. I haven't chrono-ed it yet to see how much velocity I lost but .308 seems to be fairly insensitive to barrel length, losing only 30-50 fps per inch of...

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? Good advice, I'm pretty new to both reloading and long range shooting So all of these minuscule measurements and adjustments are a pretty exciting new world to me.

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? Well since you brought up reloading....Dare I ask what OAL you use for your handloads? I know a lot of people don't like to talk about what loads they use personally due to the potential lawsuits that could theoretically stem from doing so. However...

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? Just a little update here: I ended up cutting the barrel to 20" myself, using Larry Potterfield's hand tool method. It came out really well and even though it wasn't turned on a lathe. The rifle still produces groups that are around 1/4 MOA. I...

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? This is true. Even in a worst case scenario it's not like it cant be fixed.... I guess I might as well go for it. I'll probably have him cut it to 20" That should be plenty long enough for my intended purpose.

Re: Thoughts on new Remington 700 sps tactical .308 I cant tell if you're running a detachable magazine or not but if you're using one of the factory ones then I would recommend taking the spring and the follower completely out of the gun and reinstalling them making sure everything is...

Re: Best barrel length for a .308 bolt gun? I Know he's using a lathe. I had him cut the other rifle to 18 inches in order to make the oal of the rifle less that 40 inches. And when i picked it up he was talking about how he couldn't have cut it any shorter since the lathe didn't leave...
