    Just a thought, but put your good 03-A3 spring in the bolt and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, you need a new spring. If not, something else is the problem.

    I love the expertise of you fellows dealing with grooved/ungrooved triggers, stamped vs forged buttplates, stamped barrel bands and "H's" on the stacking swivel. But sometimes this kind of minutia...

    1. Assuming that all of the internal components of the bolt are assembled correctly, place the tip of the firing pin in that convenient hole in the buttstock, push down to compress the striker spring...

    Just for curiosity, I'd mike the neck I.D. of a fired case and then mike the neck I.D. of a neck sized case with the expander ball assy. removed. This will give you an idea of how much you are...

    If you have a bunch of these Winchester cases, I'd neck anneal them and see if you have better luck. I used to see this occasionally in some Herter 8X57 cases that were necked down for use in my...

    Go ahead and laugh, guys and gals, but I've used my Norinco 1911A1 for more than 20 years without one problem. I carry it every day during rattlesnake season and it has accounted for more snakes...

    Rather than messing up the bolt for no purpose, I'd be content to just clean it with solvent and compressed air. If a little grease is bothersome to you, just boil the bolt in water, blow it dry...

    Musketshooter is dead-on right! FN Supreme all the way and one of the finest rifles a man could own. Notice the nice fine checkering, the recoil cross bolt and the unique barrel contour. For the...

    I can't quite follow you on the "existing setup" part, but modifying a 1917 triggerguard involves more trouble than it's worth. You will probably have to make a jig to hold the parts in the correct...

    I'd stay away from any jointed aluminum rods and like the others have said, clean from the breech end. I like Dewey rods and if you are careful, you won't get any solvent or crud in the action by...

    I also have an early production Springfield Armory M1A with the skinnier G.I. stock with the selector cutout. TRW barrel too, in minty shape. I'd buy that rifle if the price was right.

    I first started out with a Polytech and liked the quality o.k. but could not get it sighted in unless I set the front sight over quite a bit. Probably a misalignment of the barrel into the receiver....

    Gun Surfer:
    The little set screw is used only to butt up against the bottom of the receiver and to keep the trigger secure. Don't overdo the tightening, just enough to keep the trigger housing...

    I like 44 gr. of H4831 with a Sierra 160 gr. SMP bullet, seated to give an O.A.L. of 3.020. Very pleasant to shoot.

    Another vote for leaving it on and using just a little more care in sanding. Tape the metal off and use sandpaper strips on the flat edge of a small 6" file.

    Can't help you on the rifle but I do like your handle. Al was the pioneer stock maker, along with the other greats like Thomas Shelhammer, Leonard Mews and Al Biesen.

    Re-lining for a high presure cartridge like the 7.7 cannot be done. I would look for a take-off barrel if the rifle cannot be shot as is. Rebarreling could be done but would be pricey considering...

    If your own good operating rod did not fix the cycling problem, I would guess that the gas cylinder is worn and not allowing sufficient gas for correct function. I would bet that your op rod and...

    There are a lot of variables involved here. I assume the bore is in decent shape. First, I would slug the bore to get an idea of bore diameter and then begin with a bullet about .002-.003 larger,...
