The good news:

The photos that show an almost pure vertical stringing, with very little horizontal variation, indicate that the muzzle crown is OK and the bore is usable. Otherwise the shots...

I don't think you were. AFAICTWAHTOIMH, it's original.

This is a point that has been argued about, particularly with regard to the interpretation of old photos taken with orthochromatic (red-insensitive) film. But it appears that the Springfields were...

That sounds as if the previous owner had fudged the bedding. Loose shims are not the best answer. Start from scratch and check everything.

What follows is not holy writ, just my pragmatic...

Negative attitude!
I hope I'll live so long that $50 for a brick of .22's is cheap:madsmile:

Is the W in a star perhaps a variant of the marking shown in "The Lee Enfield Story" to indicate a cord-Worn, i.e. unserviceable barrel? If so, then one would expect this mark to appear on other...

It is a rifle in good condition, but looking at the bolt body and bolt face, it has certainly been used and is by no means what I term "armory mint", so I do not see why further careful and...

The moral of the Mud Flap Saga is: it is very dangerous to have money way out in front of your expertise. Put the brakes on the money until the expertise catches up.

My attitude to a story like this is: if it isn't in "The Crown Jewels" then it is, putting it very politely, hard to believe. And "The Crown Jewels", by Dana Jones, is quite specific on the M94...

I read somewhere that it is an optical effect caused by grease on the Parkerizing. Try wiping over the bolt with a smear of heavy Cosmoline-like grease!

Don't be so impatient everybody! I've only just seen these posts.

First point: If you are using the 6 'o'clock hold on a 6" target at 100 and then on a 12" target at 200, then the angle between...

I think PRVI makes the cases and ammo*. Clips could be a problem.


*Yes, two types:

That's what I need! Wind sensors with automatic sight correction on the Long-Range Sharps! So I hit my target, not the neighbouring one :dancingbanana:
The snag is, the sensors only feel the wind...

Do it!

And here is something to encourage you:

Since the Hornady #3130s have reached the status of financial "unobtanium" over here, I tried some Sierra 180 gn ProHunter bullets. They are a very good replacement for the (also rare) 174gn original...

I am not intending to denigrate this system, but I would like to get past the advertising hype to consider some aspects of reality.

It seems to me that what this system does is to store the sight...

It's a custom mould made by a friend. He just happens to have a stock of rather thick plate. It looks a bit rustic, but performs well. And I can tap the plate hard with a brass bar to cut the sprue...

Yes, you have to register, and there are indeed 2 Werder pistols on offer:

It's horrible! Get it off! Try using the jelly paint stripper based on (I think) xylene or toluene or some such ???-ene. Do not get it on your hands - for a couple of seconds it feels cool, then...

Yes. I had a couple of packs of Norma Russian Match ammo. Good ammo, but I made a check of the maximum possible OAL in Ivan the Terrible, and realized that there was going to be a longish unguided...

One of my very first old service rifles - a Brazilian Mauser - looked as if the rifling was almost worn away, and it was therefore sold as a wall hanger. But the head clearance and bullet-in-muzzle...

It does indeed look like an M1917 stock.

Maybe the builder was sick of the endless headspace discussion?

Great! Let's see some photos!

If you mean that the blade is over to the left within the field of view when the scope has been adjusted to hit center, then referring to the article already linked in a previous post will show you...
