32 HR mag out of nagant? - THR
once you get your spelling sorted out, buy some match or decent quality hunting bullets. I would not waste my time or money reloading ANY fmj bullet. Remember the WHY of why FMJ bullets EXIST and...
for Pete's sake, just stick an M2 ball round in the rifle and SHOOT IT. The 30.06 can be chambered and shoots FINE in a 30.03 chamber (if it even IS an .03 chamber). Don't believe me? Look (real)...

Shooting Commercial Ammunition in your M1 Garand
I guess he (and me) should have specified that this was for SERVICE grade rifles. The CMP Specials are complete re-do's. WHO does this FOR the CMP or whether they do it in house (which I doubt), I...
replace/substitute yes
repark/refinish no
your rifle sounds like an original/correct rifle with a normal variation of component part hue variations (many of which can be made by Sub-K's).
you have a NICE shooter/match rifle with ZERO historical or collector value.
my only concern with this thread is the valuations. If you took this rifle to ANY large 500-1000+ table gunshow...
You have this backward. The issue is PORT PRESSURE and faster powders would result is LOWER gas port pressures. SOME of the "ULTRA" magnum "Super Performance" type stuff uses SLOWER powders which...
1. You don't need a spacer block..
2. your gas port hole needs to be enlarged (forget exactly how much) to ensure enough gas to cycle the op-rod. (do a google search).
I;m not sure where you get the idea that reduced loads are "only" used with faster powders when this is absolutely not correct. Many loading manuals have reduced loads of medium and slow powders to...
you can get a .300 win mag or other belted magnum in that family of cartridges. if the case-head end (down near the primer) it goes in easily past the belt, the GC is worn. if it barely goes in,...
thx, makes sense to me.
I have a couple in sealed GI type packages. no markings.

50.00 in 1948 = 453.00 TODAY. still not a bad deal, just not as "good" as you think.
There are plenty of reloading recipes on the internet. it's a big case, so you might want to use some type of case filler (I have used poly pillow ticking with success) with some powders. My best...
the receiver appears to be bead-blasted, then refinished.
it's hard to tell from your pictures, but your wood appears to be commercial (oversize compared to buttplate) and the rear swivel looks...
you don't need a spacer at all. not sure why people seem to think this is a safety of functionality issue. a "7.62" marked rear sight cover is a nice thing to have however.
I would recommend you...
I would start with IMR4895 or Varget and 150 grain bullets (NOT 174/180s) for best accuracy. Lee Enfields are not the easiest cartridge/rifle to get best accuracy from. I have never had that much...
it would be EXTREMELY unwise to re-use this powder. I think it is probably Hercules "EC" blank powder. It is VERY high energy powder designed to make as much noise (or close) with a very light...
about 700.00-750.00 assuming tight muzzle and bore being OK
your rifle did not leave the SA factory with HRA parts.
if the lock clicks normally, things are otherwise tight, and the bore is VG+ or better (some shine and strong rifling), 500 isn't a terrible price for a shooter.
congratulations. I just emptied my sock drawer on the bed, easier for me also.

I will be MORE than happy to post up a picture of MY personal DD-214 right after you do.
agree, lots of heat, lots of steam, but it will for SURE remove the finish. Oh, if it has a poly finish, none of this will work. Oil finishes only.
