Thanks, all. I'll get to work as soon as my shoulder heals (another unrelated story, altogether :madsmile: ). I'll post results when I get it done.

Just received my CMP Garand! :) What is best for cleaning & removing cosmoline?

Thanks,

A couple of hundred spare mil-surp rounds came with an Enfield & bits that I bought. Described as 8 x 57 Mauser. I broke down one round, bullet is .323 diameter, weighs 154 grains, spire point,...

Oh boy, another mil-surp rifle. :dancingbanana: I've been buying, selling, and refining my small collection for a couple of years, and presently have a Springfield A3, a Swiss K31, a Finn M39, and...

Quick newbie question:

I have just acquired a Smith Corona 03A3 with issue sights. What bullet, weight, and velocity should I load for best accuracy with these sights?

Thanks :bow:

Sure hope it is more successful than my first try. I'm the one who bought a No. 4 Mk II that ended up being identified as having been marked "ZF", unsafe to shoot, and had to be returned to the...

All I can find on internet for 7.62x54r reloading data, are rod type powders such as IMR/H 4895 and the like. I have trouble getting consistant powder drop charge weights with these type of powders...

Does it make sense to think that reloads with bullet weight & type, and velocity that are close to the specifications for the original military cartridge, would shoot closer to the indicated sight...

Here are the patches from first couple of passes through the bore of my "clean on the outside" refurbished M91/30. Wow

It is about as clean as I can get it now, not shiny, and still quite...

A couple of messages to me here and other forums have suggested I look into a C & R firearm license from BATF. Cost is $30 for 3 years, and the paperwork only cumbersome, but not impossible, it...

While searching for my Springfield A3, I stumbled onto this Mosin Nagant M91/30 for less than $100, complete with sling, cartridge pouches, cleaning kit and bayonet. I couldn't resist. Took it to...

OK, while trying to sort out the stock problem on my 1903, I am still looking to buy an A3.

A local shop has four to choose from, and I picked what I think is the best one, put a "hold" on it, to...

The defective stock appears to be a new, military style replacement. There are no markings on the exterior of any kind. I am reasonably sure that it is not a GI issue stock. I should be getting...

Previous owner put a new stock on my 1903 just before selling it to me. Said the original was only good for firewood. I do not know the make of the new stock, and don't think I have any recourse back...

I just bought this Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 rifle, my first British battle rifle. Markings on the receiver are: 303 British, United Kingdom, IAC ALFX VA (preceding group very difficult...

I am thinking of buying this A3 rifle. What do the numbers and markings tell me about it? (see photos)

Thanks, :thup:1698116983169821698416985

I'm new, and looking for a manual suggested by a shooter on another forum, which he thought might be available here. I did a search, but no success. Could anyone point me in the right direction to...
