I've got a drawer full of boresight devices SIMILAR to that one, but none are intended for rifles - all for MGs or larger, up to 50mm IIRC. They belong to Uncle Sam, so none are for sale. ;)

The U.S. Army has finally started recommending NOT using a nail to adjust the front sight on the M16-family, FWIW. They finally acknowledged that using a nail damages the sight post, and scrapes the...

The Army calls it PL Special, and it's a light oil. I would just fill the oiler with a generic 'gun oil,' and call it good.

Anyone interested in cast bullets owes it to themselves to join the Cast Boolits forum. I think you'll find that the vast majority of the members there are using wheel weights to cast bullets, with...

The Israeli standard barrel buttstocks are very short, although not technically 'correct' for your G1. It will bolt right up.

Don't overlook the fact that the machinegunners go through a lot of our favorite milsurp ammo in a short time. Remember the conversion kits for the Browning MGs in whatever caliber was inexpensive...

The 'boiled' linseed oil found in the hardware store is, in reality, raw linseed oil with chemical driers added. Raw linseed oil, by itself, will take forever to 'dry.' BLO from the artist's supply...

I bought some '40s-'50s vintage UK milsurp ammo from Sportsman's Guide several years ago; it was real crap, badly discolored, with many 'click---bang' rounds in it. Some of it was Kynoch ammo, but I...

The military uses what is essentially an expensive spray paint to touch up the finish on their weapons - a product called solid film lubricant. You can probably find it at a good industrial supply...

I also shoot reduced loads in at least some of my milsurps, although I go about it a bit differently at times.

I had a bunch of milsurp 7.62X54R ammo that I no longer had a rifle for. The ammo...

I can't access the PDF version, for some reason. Could someone e-mail it to me?

I am posting this info without being able to verify it. If true, it represents a serious threat to C&R collectors shooting Lee Enfields.

dodgy .303 ammo - Sniper's Hide Forums

I have had exceptional results from the Hornady .312" 150 grain spire point bullet in my three Lee Enfields. I strongly recommend this bullet to anyone striving for an accuracy load for their rifle.

Rear sight disassembly begins on page 164. The TM is written at about a 5th grade level, so it should be pretty easy to follow. ...

One thing that I think we can all agree on is that factory AR triggers tend to be rough, gritty, and heavy - hardly conducive to precision shooting. The problem is, there are so many different...

I have seen photos of a WWII German Stalaag where one of the guards was carrying a No 1 Mk 3 SMLE. Another guard was carrying either a P14 or M1917 Enfield.

The chamber and headspace dimensions of (at least) US machine guns are indeed a bit larger than a rifle in the same caliber. I doubt you will be able to find a chamber reamer for this purpose,...

I was getting that style of replacement upper receivers in my shop in Korea in the late 70s - 78, 79, IIRC. I have no idea who made the uppers, but they were definitely A1s with brass deflectors. ...

I wonder if the old-timers who wore a campaign hat (smokey the bear hat) while shooting at Perry (and elsewhere) maybe didn't know something that the rest of us don't. They keep the rain out of your...

Most of the units here in Korea do not have enough H&T gages for all of their weapons, and the ones they do have, have never been calibrated (an annual requirement). Those battalion commanders get...

Yes, I frequently notice him with cartridge casings or cigarette butts in his ears. If nothing else, the producers should compel him to wear both eye and ear protection as an example to others.

Bottom line:
1. A clean chamber.
2. Reduce headspace to SAAMI minimum (NOT British/Commonwealth military minimum).
3. Neck size only.
4. If possible, choose brass with thickest rims.

I...

An interesting, thought provoking thread. For my money, I must agree with Patrick Chadwick; brass is less expensive than bolts, bolt heads, or rifles. I'd rather have to buy new brass than I would...

Just one more reason to NOT spend any of my money there. Frak 'em.
