Great tip; thank you sir. There is much to be learned from the youtube videos featuring master gunsmith, the late Jack Rowe. I will be watching more of them.

Hello Ridolpho,

Would you mind elaborating on the method you used to straighten the forend? I would be interested to know how you used the linseed oil method. I have a similar issue with a...

Hello Strangely,

Here's one made by John Wilkes Precision, although I have no idea where or when. Can anyone shed any light?

Cheers!

Selway has Remington 30-40 180 gn SP in stock :).

I too was contacted by Midway after waiting over a year: The message was that both Remington and Winchester 30-40 brass are now discontinued. I...

Bumped into this old girl at my friendly local gun store, where the lady owner had deposited it in the hope of finding out some information. It looks like an old Ishapore Mk3* but what caught my eye...

A Faz No.4 Mk2 was my first milsurp rifle. What a gateway drug that turned out to be! Enjoy your new Lee Enfield Luis and congratulations.:thup:

I just bought a reproduction Mills web sling for my M1898 from WPG. I was fitting it per the photograph in Joe Poyer's "The American Krag Rifle & Carbine" when I found myself playing around with the...

Thank you Butlersrangers, you raise an interesting point. I was wondering about drift compensation, but the rifling is left-hand twist in this Berthier. I remember that when zeroing my L.39 on the...

Great choice Kablair. Bought my first Dewey rod in .22 for my first AR. Was so impressed I ordered a .30 for my milsurps together with one of their Parker Hale style jags. Stiffer than my actual...

I have a Remington Mle 1907/15 that looks like it may never have been fired. I understand that the French refused to accept the rifles from Remington citing quality issues, and that Remington sold...

Does anyone else flush their bronze bore brushes in hot water after use? I find it helps protect the bristles from the ravages of copper solvent and helps my treasured (and difficult to acquire over...

Ahh, a little levity never did any harm...I think. Excuse my typo, of course timer = primer. I too wondered about a suitable material to replace the primer. I stopped wondering after convincing...

I made mine using white plastic 8 mm dowel in lieu of actual bullets and filled the timer pockets with silicon caulking, which works just fine. The lighter plastic "bullets" mean less damage to...

Dewey rod plus Dewey Parker Hale style jag and 2 x 2 patches. With this combination you will be in good shape.

I've been messing around with my recently acquired post-war MAS 36 which looks un-issued. It groups nicely despite the agricultural trigger and obelisk-like front sight post. The only problem was...

Greetings,
