I recently bought an ATI 45acp in government trim. It also is made in the Phillipines. I added a flat main spring housing and polished the feed ramp and other wear points and greased the...

When using black powder, which rating do you use? 3fg, 2fg

I have an original M84 rifle in excellent condition. I want to shoot it using appropriate loads. I know the '70' in 45-70 is the original black powder load in grains. Is this a compressed load? ...

That guy worked at a university? Cripes, he couldn't even spell.

I took apart 40 rounds of Hornady 45-70, with the 300 gr. jsp. I have alot of the powder and would like to use it. Anyone know what this powder is?

I have some Hornady 45-70 factory rounds. They have the 300 gr. red tipped bullet. I am wondering if these are too hot for an original M84 trapdoor.

:dunno: Does Mr. Hosmer still have a website? Seems I remember he did.

What is a good recipe for smokeless powder in a M84 rifle? I am thinking lead bullets and Starline brass.

Also, I am not entirely comfortable in exerting pressure on a primer in a fully loaded cartridge.

Never try to seat a primer in a fully loaded case. I have had primers go off occasionally while...

Use only the M3 grenade launcher cartridges. The examples I had were packed 3 to a brown wrapper and clearly marked. I was able to launch an inert pineapple grenade about 100 yards. I held the...

So, is that a good thing? Chamber is for commercial 308.

The barrel in question is 30 inch long with 1 in 12 twist.

My WRA garand has the annealed receiver heel. It is in the 1348*** range built in 6/43. It also has the square cut-out below the windage knob.

What weight bullet in 30 caliber, will this twist be accurate? I was thinking 168 gr. Sierra HPBT.

That's what we're here for. :-)

I wouldn't touch it. There are too many things to repair/replace to make it a 'nice' rifle. You should be looking for a genuine 1903 that will not cost you big bucks to restore. My advice: get yer...

The one dimension I'm familiar with is the length at .700 max.

I was thinking Leupold for the scope. VX-1 4-12x40mm with LRD reticle.

I would like to hear opinions on this rifle. All the gun magazine reports were very favorable, but, I don't always trust them too far. I was thinking the 308 caliber as the best. I don't know much...

I especially watched his live reports from 'Nam. I believe he was the last real reporter.

One of my garands puts them at approx. 2 o'clock. My other garand puts them at 5 o'clock. I don't mind, as I shoot on a large concrete pad.

Before I see the lawyer in a couple days, I would like to know what you think of the situation. Nothing to do with guns, but, a will. I have a copy of a will in which I am named executor. It is...

My 03A3 has a nasty recoil when I shoot military surplus thru it. I found some reload data for mild loads using 180 grain lead bullets. Using IMR 4895 with 27.0 grains and 2400 powder using 16-20...

I have had no problems shooting lead bullets. If I think there might be a trace of lead fouling in the bore, I just use JB bore paste on an old bore brush to clean it up.

Quite awhile back, on the old jouster forum, I posted about my garand not picking up the next cartridge. I had installed a "new" op-rod. I was considering sending the op-rod to J. Swartz for repair...
