Thanks potashminer. I haven't been back to the site in a while and didn't expect I'd have more replies. So it's a confirmed Mixmaster, which doesn't bother me. I didn't see any receiver cracks,...

Thanks potashminer. I haven't been back to the site in a while and didn't expect I'd have more replies. So it's a confirmed Mixmaster, which doesn't bother me. I didn't see any receiver cracks,...
Thanks, I'll look into it. The only markings I found on the stock was "2K" behind the trigger guard. I see what you're talking about though, I didn't get any pictures from that angle last weekend. ...
Thanks, I believe you are on to something. There's an R on the bottom of the bolt that makes me think it's got at least 1 remington part. The bolt handle itself has an E, but the protrusion on the...
Looks to me like the first couple sets of lands on the end of the screw are flattened. I don't know if that's the peening damage you were talking about but I'm going to try a new one from numrich. ...
I didn't have to whack it, I just poked it with the punch. I don't think it was very much force and it should have already been away from the metal. Numrich has the screws for $2.50 and the cap for...
I'm not familiar with the phrase "correctly dressed screwdriver". Does that just mean the biggest hollow ground screwdriver that fits in the slot?
The screw head was flush with the end cap...
I just bought an eddystone m1917 made in 1918. I took it apart to look at the barrel under the wood and to visually inspect the receiver. But I'm having trouble with the end cap. The screw that goes...
I bought Forster gauges. I can't find the actual lengths online, but they do claim to use SAAMI specs. The action didn't close completely on either the field or no-go, so it sounds like it's well...
This is interesting. The stuff I read says all you need is the field gauge to determine if it's safe to shoot. They say the go and no-go gauges are more for armorers who are actually adjusting the...
Thanks for the quick responses. Shame to hear no one loads a good copy of the MK7 anymore. Since the bolt wouldn't close on the field gauge (and the no-go gauge should be here monday), it sounds...
I'm sure this has been answered before, but my google fu is weak and I can't find it.
I have a new Savage made Lee Enfield No4 MK1*. I want to shoot it and I need advice on what ammo to use. ...
I've got one that was never fired and I had to promise I wouldn't shoot it. So I'm afraid to disassemble it because I might put an idiot scratch on it.
Thanks for the answer. I guess what I saw on my gun was an inspection mark too. I thought it was weird because it was on the underside of the slide, and I couldn't decide if it was a cut off 'F', a...
What are those H marks? I have an old Luger with similar marks and I haven't been able to figure out what they were.
I'll admit I thought you were talking about a US&S, I'm always on the lookout for info and stories about them.
But I'd like more information on the 2 tone magazines. This is the second time...
it looks like there a second, larger lanyard ring. What's the scoop on these?
I just want to make sure that's not a typo. Not to exceed 7% seems very low to me. I would expect you'd want 7% as a floor. I don't think I'd be worried about spending too much unless the cost of...
I think he was talking about filing one with the military to get the info released on my gun.
And I don't know. I haven't really studied FOIA and have no clue how to go about even filing one. ...
I didn't post a picture of the SAA, so you don't realize how beat up it is. The only marks that can be clearly seen are the serial numbers, and even those are worn down pretty smooth. You can see...
The last guy I spoke to said his safes did the same thing. Without the SN, you can't get the template from the factory.
I should have checked this thread more often, thanks for the tips everyone. I am going to go for a ft knox or something in that class. I feel like they are are equal enough when it comes to theft...
Sorry to bump an older thread like this. But, I got a response from Springfield Research that I don't fully understand. The first response was that there was no data, the army will not release a...
I figure you guys might know something about gun safes. I've only just recently realized I own things valuable enough to put into a safe. So I've just started trying to research them. I'm...
Great info, thanks all. The 30 luger round did fit exactly as shown in that top picture. I went to the range this weekend so I decided to try firing it. It really was surprisingly accurate, and I...
Lotsa good info, I find myself thanking almost everyone. I have acquired a half a box of 30 luger rounds that belonged to the same guy. (mother in law didn't think the box with the ammo and loose...
