I guess the auction is done and over now, but the star mark for Kimbers was an indication of an above average rifle during acceptance testing. I believe the rifle shot its acceptance group under a...
With sights, this is about ball park, assuming that the rest of the rifle is mechanically good. A Rem 37 is an excellent target 22 LR rifle assuming good barrel. If the rifle has the Canjar trigger,...

Do you mean the this Parker Hale M82 Mauser bolt rifle? http://www.eme421.com/sniper.html

I have this Parker Hale PH5E rear sight and base. I assume that it is for an English small bore rifle, and am wondering just what rifle did this fit?

So, how did they design the things? How do they design things now days?
What amount of cartridge friction do designers assume in designing their actions?
Pick a number from 0 %, which means...
I have reloaded for a number of Lee Enfields. Fazakerley No 4 Mark 1 and 2, Long Branch No 4's, Lithgow No 1 Mk III's , and one Savage No 4 Mark 1*.

As I have stated before, grease and oilers were designed out of small arms. However the historical record shows that there were successful semiauto and full automatic mechanisms that required oil or...

I picked the biggest dimension and still did not get Ed's numbers. Maybe the source of his spread sheet found a way of creating energy. More pounds of thrust out than pounds of thrust in. Would'nt...
Where are these numbers coming from?
If I take the largest base measurement of the .223 Rem,which is the rim width, which is .378"
And I do the Pie R squared calculation I get

Yes, just how much breech friction is the gun designer to assume?
Lets assume breech friction runs from 0 to 100%. Pick a number, what percentage of breech friction, and thus load, is the designer...
You are close to the ground zero myth of Lubricated cases. It all started in with tin can bullets issued in the 1921 National matches. Army Ordnance made ammunition with tin plated bullets, which...

The Marines used the 03 early in the Pacific war. I have several photos from the "Canal", all the identifiable rifles are 03's.

I would caution you against tightening the barrel without determining if the barrel is in fact torqued to the correct tighteness. And what your headspace is. If you have a minimum headspace rifle,...
That's what I am using. Fits a lot of actions including the M700 and M70 and M1903.

There is a margin of safety designed into actions, but because these are man portable, don't assume there is a lot of margin, because margin means weight.
I suspect that margin is why No 4 could...
