There are a number of fine gunsmiths that specialize in the Winchester M97 in Canada and the US, that have no problem finding parts.

I have tried 3 different strikes and believe me the bolt and the firing pin hole are exceptionally clean.

Don't have the gauges to check the head space.

Looks like a primer protrusion of 0.65". This is with a 20 lb spring and the original striker. I'll pass on the show, priorities have recently changed, lunch on the 1st.

I have Winchester M1897's manufactured in 1899, 1906, and 1913, ALL see very hard use every year shooting at least 25 Cowboy Action matches a year using lead shot smaller than #4. My Trench gun is...

No idea how to measure it. Do you have suggestions? Also lunch Monday the 31st or Tuesday 1st Nov? I fly into Vic this Friday.

I have been getting a large number of light primer strikes/misfires with my Eddystone Model of 1917. I have changed mainsprings twice (a 18 lb & 20 lb spring from Wolff Gunsprings). I have gotten 2...

Canada purchased 80,000 US Rifle Model of 1917 in early 1940 when we had a shortage. We used them to the Pacific Coast Rangers and for guards in Defence factories etc.

The battle sight for the M1917 is set at 400 meters IAW http://www.nicolausassociates.com/PDF/M1917%20Bullet%20Flight.pdf

Last year I wanted to adjust my front sight on my P14 and was very...

At this price, are the numbers matching??

I've recently purchased a 1914 Colt Commercial Model, that may or may have not been part of the Canadian WW1 Contract. The problem is some "IPSC" shooter bubba'd the front and rear sights on the...

I love mine, it will run all day on Federal bulk pack 525 rd boxes. I've shot 4 rimfire "action" matches with it this summer and its a hoot.

I'm sure with alot of TLC, there is a fair chunk of change sitting on those shelves.

It looked to be a fun match, particularly about the wearing the 37 pattern webbing.

Am I the only one in Canada who hasn't bought a Sten from Stencollector?? Well I did buy some accessories from him. I got my Sten Mk II from a dealer from the Vancouver area at the Calgary gunshow a...

And to think, I only had to pay 775% more for mine!!

Point taken, but consider the fact that both rounds use the same primers. No manufacturer in there right mind, especially one controlled by a government that also produces rifles in that caliber will...

Using the American Rifleman, "Beginners Digest: Nonmecuric, Non Corrosive Primers" Pg 34-36, January 1961 as a reference, caliber .30-06 , starting at Lot 44000 (Date of Mfg August 1945) manufactured...

If its warm in Ottawa, obviously Parliment is in session! Something about hot air :):)

Well sten collecter, they do put those strings on the arctic mitts for a reason :):):)

I shot a WW II re-enactor match in Wainwright Alberta last weekend, it was a balmy -8C. Fantastic day on the range. I used magnum primers on my reloads, for more positive ignition.

Anybody have a source in Canada for Chinese or Russian non corrosive 7.62x 39mm? The only ammo that I have been able to find in bulk is stuff from Eastern Europe thats corrosive.

Given the large amount of repros available according to http://www.gunboards.com/forums/default.asp it makes one want to be very careful about the money, one spends.
