I have a rifle and carbine version of this rifle. (The rifle has been duffel cut. :( ). For those interested, the round can be duplicated by shortening and resizing them. Or reverse the steps. ...

Amadeus, a slightly short neck will NOT blow up your rifle. The only damage that may occur is some discoloration and in extreme cases erosion at the end of the case on the chamber walls; that after...

It is possible to have one of two or three problems with short cases. None of which will cause a catastrophic failure.

A short neck gives one less contact of bullet with neck, to hold the...

Congratulations! Great cartridge! Very advanced for a first (or maybe second) generation smokeless powder design.
And quite responsive and friendly.
Don't forget H380 and H4831.
Negative. ...

Anzac - the initial photo showing the action makes the blueing appear too good. You might want to check some of the smaller stamps to see if they're blurred. That configuration doesn't ring a bell...

Considering the original intent of the rifle, an IPSC type target at 200 may be as much accuracy as can be had.

I understand and commiserate. But since the issue sights are calibrated for 'issue' ammunition, I went the other way. I have developed loads matching the original issue ammo so I can just use the...

The clear grips are somewhat common. They are usually made from the windows of a crashed aircraft. Sometimes this was done as a handcraft akin to 'shell art' and simply out of creative spirit. ...

"...he would sprinkle a little gun powder over the top of the wasp nest ..."

Smokeless powder or Black powder? The 'sudden flash' sounds like Black powder.

I am probably the last one to know, but I'll share it anyway. I just received 100 pieces of 8mm Lebel brass, made by PPU, from Graf & Sons.

It has the 'ring' for use in 1886 Lebel tube fed...

I could not find any 'reasonably priced' ammo, and NO ammo to duplicate issue load on line. I finally found a note on the Graf's website to put a request for .30-40 Krag on a 'wish list' when their...

I've loaded lead 158 RN commercial bullets and fired them through a 9x19mm pistol. Start with starting loads and don't go for a speed record. The couple of thousandths over size will swage right...

Try Graf & Sons. I just scored 100 units of new, empty brass from them.

I shot my chronograph once. Just a little. Replaced it. Too valuable not to have.

Same chronograph on a prior date. I was testing some reloads AND zeroing the scope at the same time. (I'm...

Once upon a long ago, I had a 71/84 Mauser rifle. Before they were collectable. I found two boxes of Dominion brand .43 Mauser ammunition and it worked fine. I even had loading dies.

Couldn't...

Bruce is correct. The post war pistols had the year of manufacture stamped on the frame. Left side, just forward of the hammer as I recall.

The 1934 Berettas were all chambered in 9mm Corto, known in U. S. as .380 ACP.
The 1935 Berettas were all chambered in 7.65 mm, known in U. S. as .32 ACP.

I seem to recall Beretta (and Italy)...

Greetings to all and sundry. (Sundry, you know who you are and I'm still watching.)

All the boring data of my humble existance is recorded on my profile.

I collect primarily .32 ACP - 7.65mm...
