I have a random question about the 30-06: why is the case so long!? If you compare it to other contemporary military cartridges, all the others are shorter, some more so than others. Take the 7.62...

How much are these worth nowadays anyhow? I'm considering selling mine. Its in excellent condition like the one shown, with matching serial numbers and mfg. 1938. Hope I'm not stealing the thread...

I got it fixed, and by accident too! I read all about the problem with the leaf ejector spring breaking on this model, so I thought before I try gluing the piece down I should put a spring in there,...

I finally got the thing zeroed in! Thanks for the help!

I was using sandbags, and my elevation was fine. I'm wondering if the sights were part of the problem: they do allow a little "slack" because the front post doesn't exactly fill in the rear notch...

So I tried zeroing my 91-30 in again. My first group was about a 4 inch vertical string, but to the left, so I tapped the sight to the right, and then my next shot was way to the left. So I...

Gotcha...



I might just try and trade this thing for a little something. Its becoming too much of a problem, and I don't need this particular gun anyway. Any idea what I might get, with its...

What if I was to solder or braze the ejector in place so that it doesn't wiggle? I'm thinking of this because I tested the rifle out by holding the ejector down with my thumb while cycling some...

Or else the spring didn't crack but was deliberately shortened and then brazed back together.

That makes perfect sense. I was looking at it again yesterday and noticed that the spring had actually snapped at one point and was brazed back together! Good grief. I'll definitely look over this...

So looking through the original govt. manual it would appear that I'm missing the "bolt stop spring rest (figs. 40 and 41, on p. 16 of the manual). But I don't see any hole where the stud of this...

So I got a m1917, Winchester mfg., and the darn ejector doesn't work. I've looked around the internet and it seems that broken ejector springs is a common problem with this model, but the thing is...
