Must have gotten the quart can with the brush.
Might have been the same year I was on the back porch with my brothers when a good bolt hit the chain link fence about ten yards away. The resulting ozone smell in the air might have covered the...
Nice rig.
My meager life savings is losing value faster than I can replace it, so I can reconcile spending more than I would have before it's all toilet paper.
Rough deal on the tracks and missing parts. At least you have a source for better tracks, replacing an entire sprue might be a bigger challenge. Good luck on that.
I really enjoy the 7 X 57mm as well. Does all it needs to without reminding you the day after.
Nice work. I'll bet it's fun!
I second Steve's opinion. No worries about powder degradation, and with some testing, better potential accuracy.
I'm betting Astra 600. Check the safety.
Nicely done, it does look good, and seems to work quite well too.
Nice. This project is really coming together.
Or a 113 and a BMP?
Indeed. I'm no gunsmith either, but have done some mechanical trouble shooting. My line of questioning was intended to separate a simple extraction issue from a locking problem. An extraction issue...
And now it functions fine with an empty chamber? If so, how about with a little pressure on the bolt face with a cleaning rod down the bore? I am suspicious of slop in locking block parts interface.
if it's jamming up with an empty chamber, might this be a locking block issue?
Picked up a couple of cases of 1944 Greenwood & Bailey back in the day. Still have one unopened. The other was rife with hang fires or outright duds, so now supplies projectiles. Who knows where it...
Looks nice. I agree with the LED lighting. It surely has it's advantages, but I just can't warm up to it in many applications.
Impressive what a lot of hard work, dedication, and a sure hand at the tiller can accomplish. Well done!
A lot of fun....to look at.
All my best for a rapid recovery!
Nice. The barrel plan sounds like a good one. Economical, and no need to try to explain to the wife what that new construction in the backyard is all about.
Looks really good.
Can't blame you a bit there. Eventually, it gets to the point that it can be a couple years before a particular rifle comes up in rotation again. Then it's time to go digging through the log books.
Nice. I'm sure you'll let us know how it works!
What kind of loads did you run?
