I've recently purchased a parts kit from Sarco to begin building a Swedish Lahti M40. Gun is in good condition and most parts look brand new with minor storage wear. It is mostly built save for...

Ok, so if I haven't mentioned it, I am a father (again). I have been on vacation for two weeks since having my newborn daughter and have not been able to get to the range despite having planned to do...

Sorry, The op rod/piston that screws into the bolt carrier is wobbly. Not the cylinder. Seems like it should be OK, but I may disassemble it and see if it can be inserted m ore and if this will...

Sorry to keep you all in suspense (or lack therof).
I measured the OD of the piston head and it is 0.625, so should be in spec. I measured the front of the piston, behind it seems slightly larger at...

I don't recall any hiccups in the action. slides smoothly enough that I have dumped it all out the back end a couple times while disassembling, etc. It has all the springs that came with it in the...

Yes, I headspaced the gun using a new locking block. This is why the gun fires without case head separations. I am now working on the cycling issue. I will continue to update when I can get to it...

Sorry for the delayed response everyone. I just moved to a new state, started a new job, have a new kid on the way, and am still unpacking. Additionally I am trying to paint my garage (horrible...

Thank you for the information. I have zero knowledge on this subject and am new to the forums, so being a naturally skeptical person I don't know who to trust yet. Given multiple people are telling...

Regardless of the history of the gun based on serial numbers, I have semi-good news, gentlemen. I received six locking shoulders. Of which some of them were marked enfield 66. All of them had numbers...

I ordered 6 locking shoulders and 3 screws from Numrich (e-gunparts corp). Their return policy should let me return an envelope of parts weighing less than 1lb for free within 90 days or so. I also...

Anyone have a source on 308 locking shoulders? I will have to measure mine. I know 303 guns have various sizes, but it seemed at a quick glance that 308 guns were not the same. Basically the ones I...

I guess this is my fault for not including more pictures initially. The barrel is as described. original UK, Enfield manufacture.
I was wrong. Never should have trusted my memory. It is in fact a...

It is NOT a sarco barrel. It is an original UK 7.62x51 which if I'm understanding correctly may still close on 308 no go without issue. It wont close on the 7.62x51 max gauge.

Sorry for the delay. Very busy. I appreciate all the help and will try to get back to your help as soon as possible.

As far as I am aware it is all original military. Barrel is marked Enfield. All...

Greetings to you all.
I have contacted some of you privately trying to gather some of your expert opinion and unfortunately I am still looking for answers. I have an L4A4 bren which since acquiring...
