When one fits a Mosin barrel to a P-14 Enfield there is only a shoulder of about 0.028 available. The shoulder on P-14 and 1917 barrels is about 0.100. There may not be an adequate shoulder to...

You may want to take a look at a Remington Model 30 (1917 sporter by Remington)

If I am looking at the correct screw, according to the chart in "Encyclopedia of Modern Firearms - Parts & Assembly" for Winchester your screw is part #4797 and is headless with a dog point -...

You may want to find the Museum Restoration Service monogram on "Sir Charles Ross and his Rifle" by R Phillips and J Knap. It appears that the Model R and E was apparently available in .303...

This is a flintlock made without a patch box. In some areas a hole was drilled in the buttstock to hold the users favorite patch lubricant.

Looks like a variation of a Hamilton Model 11 - series began with the Model 7 with a metal stock and continued with subsequent models. The model 7 production started about 1897 or so and the company...

If you have, or have access to a floor model drill press, clamp the stock vertically and use a correct size Forstner bit to drill the large holes. The drill will start on a curved surface and will...

All the best in finding a 721 bolt - if you just want the rifle to work, a long standard bolt face bolt for a Model 700 will fit - only visible difference will be the swept back checkered bolt hand...

The conversion appears to be commercial. In the late 1960's I used one similar to the one you show except for its double aperture sight for bullseye target shooting. It was marked on the...

I believe you have a Mark II safety and to install it there should be a small notch cut into the bolt sleeve to allow the safety to rotate down enough to permit the cocking piece to go forward. The...

A rebore from .351 to .357 will most likely not clean up the grooves; and for what you are contemplating is not necessary. To keep my .35 Win Self Loader operational I turn the rims of .38 Special...

Don't know what cartridge your Model 70 is chambered for but it is highly unlikely that it left the factory with a pad of any sort - most likely a checkered steel butt-plate. Neither pad would be...

Should measure .10 diameter and just under .310 long.

The hole is for the pin that holds the original rear sight sleeve in position - if all else is well it should be safe to shoot. It is hidden by the Santa Fe handguard so it won't affect the outward...

On low number parts on high number receivers, there seems to have been an U.S. Government exchange program for privately owned Springfields that replaced low number with high number receivers until...

If you use a jig you can use heat lamps to heat the stock and oil - safer in that you can adjust the lamp distance to the oil soaked cloth and not have it catch fire. Heat tends to be more even.

Looks like you have an 1897 version of the No. 5. This is the apparently the only version of the No. 5 with a screw to limit the movement of the extractor on the left side of the action. This screw...

Believe the 9mm is a rimfire and still loaded in Italy/

To get a good joint one needs to clean the old solder off, flux and tin the area where the sight will fit with just a wash of solder, then flux the inside of the sight and position. Heat the sight...

Don't know about parts. However, if you replace the barrel with an after market type you could ask if the maker can thread it for your rifle. Many years ago Douglas supplied a threaded deep...

As Ax.303 said "The Mk III action and the M- 10 .280 actions are virtually the same. The only difference is the feed ramp is notched on the Mk III. If you don`t want to single feed it, you will need...

Altering the bolt for use with a scope and having the action drilled and tapped for a scope base can add up in a hurry and may be more than the you want to spend. You may be able to find a base for...

Thread is 10 square threads per inch, Barrel shank length 1.433 inches with 0.875 inches threaded, Major thread diameter 0.900 inches, minor diameter 0.850 inches - barrel diameter nominal 1.0 inches

Your assumption is correct - should read .286 to .287

Have 9 reloads with the reformed .300 Winchester brass and no losses (old Winchester cases). When forming, size my cases so they just enter the chamber and can then neck size with a 7mm Rem. Mag...
