    Well, like I said, the receiver had some cheap, improperly applied bluing applied to it when I got it. So, stripping that off did not cause any harm as I can tell. Case hardened metal, of that...

    I have an 1899 Krag Carbine that I'm restoring. I am through with it, but for one thing. Previously, it had an ugly bluing job applied to the receiver, which was left in-the-white at the factory. ...

    I'm a layman, but here's my take on that: There are two reasons that defective ammo would not have the same effect on an Enfield rifle and a 1903. One is the method of headspace. The .303...

    GEW 98 handguard source?

    Is there a good source for GEW 98 handguards? I've checked SARCO, Boyds, and Ebay with no luck. I would take repro if that's all I can find.
