So which of the Repros do you think is best?
The 7.62*51 & 308 Winchester have the same maximum pressure - 60 191 psi (CIP) / 62 000 psi (SAAMI). I looked at the Never Exceed Pressures for various powders and bullets from 140gn to 175gn and...
That does not sound right. A case is no where near as strong, and considerably stretchier, than the action.

The date looks like 1943 to me.
My Grand-dad, who I gather trained at Pirbright (as I remember going to a reunion there with him when I was very young), referred to these sorts of displays (and the similar American ones) as...
Thanks guys :)
I haven't had the barrel in my hands, just seen photos and discussed via email, so I can't say what process was used on it.
Hi,
I think this is my first post on this forum, though I am a long term reader, so greetings all :)
For the record, I own a 1943 Maltby No4 Mk1- but my question is not about it.
I recently...
Hi, I am the happy owner of a 1943 Maltby manufacture No 4 Mk1 rifle. I hope to add more milsurps as opportunity, cash and my wife allow.
