Because I just don't know when to let go, here's another brand of calipers that were recently aquired, partially due to the "small hole error" potential. It seems Starrett has a better handle on the...

Photos of .43 Spanish bullets that were just a little light, at most 2gr shy of the "good" bullets which are 370gr.

The small cavity is about 0.080" wide and deep. And it's the lighter bullet, so...

Made an entry or something in Post #20 of the Competition thread today:

Milsurp Target Competition and Shoot (2013)

Rather windier and the "old" eyes weren't focusing quite as well, but the...

Romanian .22, 2nd go at an entry for this rifle, Category 6.1:

Have had no exposure to facebook, but your research is welcomed!

The situation seems to be easing somewhat. And it hasn't been storefront dealer hoarding that I've seen. (I get to go in back in a few places.) But there are folk that haunt the various big box...

What news?

I would not worry about the weak ejection. It seems to be pervasive in this model. I just sort of lean the rifle clockwise whilst drawing the bolt to the rear. It will kick them out somewhat if you...

At least get PL's and Skinnerton's books. Even I can find all sorts of nonsense in Without Warning.

Quite the opposite. Otherwise the rifles would have been accuracy tested with unhardened locking areas! The locking lug area is locally induction hardened. Unless Long Branch's procedures were...

Perhaps the manfacturer would argue that the intent is to "capture the spirit". Which they have done. Having been looking at some of the Colt SAA and cap and ball clones lately, if there was a...

Usually if I dial in the theoretical change the POI ends up being higher than expected from 100 to 200yds. After that it's rarely high when the normal adjustments are made. Just why this occurs?...

That's why it needs the doppler radar/laser/whathaveyou so it can do a continuous "all the way to the target" measurement and integrate the whole into the drift calculations. No biggie...

Numrich lists them, but is out. Check their site periodically. Another Enfield...

Fakes that would be indistinguishable from the real thing would likely cost as much or more than originals unless done in large quantities. Having said that, it's surprising to me that the...

Just another evolutionary step. If this is Gen I and avaiable for civilian sales, then image a system with thermal imaging, doppler wind sensors, and some basic anatomy recogition software. Nothing...

Whilst waiting for the rifle might as well round up some clips and ammo.

Another LB:

Reading some of the new literature that comes with the Lyman 4500 lubrisizer, they recommend keeping only those bullets that weight within 1/2 grain of the average weight in a session. That seems...

The whole thing is a big "Run away!":runaway: Unless it's priced as a shooter and not a collector. But what happened to the middle pad screw???

Maybe that's what the "R" prefix in the serial...

Useful photos, though! Once it's known that the sleeve is not all internal it's fairly easy to spot the join line at the transition in diameters.

Had intended to enter this little bolt action in the Milsurps Competition, but it turns out that there will be a little more trigger time before entering.

We were astounded by how well the rifle...

:ugh: Hands down the worst quality control I've ever seen for commercial ammunition.

Found a not quite current box of 32-20 W-W ammo and bought it to see if it could match the performance of the...

They do have a certain appeal, but have never been able to quite decide why. They've always been more attention getting than Gew 98s in these parts, even if they don't have near the same level of...

:cool:
It DOES give one hope that they're out there. But I've yet to obtain an early to mid WWII rifle that's without suspicion in 30 years of admittedly fairly casual looking. Now that prices for...
