Gentlemen, I loaded some rounds for the old girl. Very light charges or Varget using 200g Speer Hot-cor and 200g Seirra Matchking bullets. All loads show vertical stringing leading me to believe that...

Thank you for the additional information. GRF

Mr Chadwick, I will grab some threaded brass rods and 2 nuts and do the test as advised. Thank you for your valuable input, especially the meaning of the alpha-numerics on the butt plat. My son and I...

Everything is cleaned, oiled and back together. The wood was quite dry and absorbed a good amount of the tung oil. If I was clever I would have weighed the rifle before and after.

I slugged the...

https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2011/06/IMG_4788-1.jpgI recently picked up a 1910 Erfurt K98. I must apologise that I did not take enough pre photos (sorry Patrick, Badger et al). I washed...

Similar crap up here in Canada in the school systems; very little mention of WW1, WW2, Korea; mainly the fact that Canada has a strong record of peace keeping. Even on the peace keeping vein they do...

Well said BAR, I would strongly discourage using imprpoer primers. Years ago I experimented with changing primers (3 differrent types of large rilfe primers)in a .270 whilst leaving all other...

How about the ubiquitous "mouser", the occasional "gerrand" ?

P&S Guns and Militaria sells SVT-40 wrenches. I agree with Moltiv the SB 180s could be part of the issue. GRF

I reload for 13 calibres (17 rifles; this includes my 3 kids and a few freinds) at present some for sporting rifles some for milsurps. When shooting a semi automatic rifle such as the SKS, SVT-40...

No4 Mk1 with the type 1? (dial adjustable fine peep) rear sight. 10 round magazine, capable of very rapid fire. The LE had rather generous dimensions so would work under rather adverse and dirty...

I have used Privi P in .303 7.62x54R and 6.5x55; consistant reliable and very well put togter. GRF

I have had very good success with old barrels and JB bore paste. As per the comments from the 2 gentlemen above some old ugly bores can shoot very well

Perhaps a case of "big hat no cattle"? GRF

Try a PAST rcoil pad, I find them very effective. Buy one use it for all the guns which require it. They are rather common at the larger shooting stores and could be purchased on line. I do think the...

My wife is right handed left eye dominent with astigmatism in both eyes, when shooting clays she must find the bird with both eyes and then shoot with her right eye closed. If both eyes are open she...

Garra, I have no experince with large volumes cases, although I know some lads who have used trailboss to great success in a variety of applications.

My son's No 4 MK 1, shooting off of a rest with the rear sight set at 550 yards we were 100% on the rams at the silhoutte range. Next is the SVT-40 Tokarev, because it is just plain fun. GRF

enfeild303t, what shop are you buying the Privi Partisan from? I was buying mine from Russells but they were rolled into wholesale sports and the privi is no longer appearing on the shelves. Thanks...

I have been buying privi patisan 7.62x54r for my SVT-40 in Calgary whenever I could find it. At present I can not find any, when you do find some buy lots. P&S guns and Militaria in Quebec has the...

Nosler brass, at least the most recent is made by Norma.

I would like to echo Mr Horton's last post.

Acquire numerous manuals, even / especially some of the older ones. There is a great deal of information available throughout. Go online; each of the...
