I recently moved and in cleaning out the "junk" one keeps and never uses I came across a vacuum food sealer. Now I got to thinking, if I put one of those little desiccant pouches and some ammo in the...
Does anyone know what these numbers correspond to or how to use this gauge? It is for an SKS throat reading. Thank you.
Doug, those are them. But my barrel won't accept the blank firing adapter. Just wondering if the brass and primer can be used or if it's not worth the effort. If not will probably just get rid of...
I have about 140 rounds of what I believe to be 6.5x55 training ammo with red wooden bullets that came with some gun gear I bought from a friend. My Swede doesn't have the screw on protector at the...
Is there any way to reproduce a .30-03 cartridge from a .30-06? I have a RIA 12-05 barreled receiver that has a TE reading of 7. I used a Forster No Go and Field gauge set to check headspace and it...
Yes I am looking in that book. Is that not a good reference to use?
Just a pic of the "guts"
This sear appears to be an early type1 with no hole under spring but is marked with an "S" which is from a type 6(?) that should have a hole if I'm not mistaken. Can someone verify or deny this info....
I'll probably try to shoot them. I did pull a bullet and dumped the powder. Looks like Cordite rods that were cut into tiny pieces.They were not clumped together. Lit it off and it burned quiet well....
Can the primed cases be used if I pull the bullets and dump the powder and use new powder? Or should I just forget about it.
Is there a safety factor to worry about if I try to fire them or will...
I picked these rounds up recently. I know they are 6.5 Carcano but that's it. They appear to have some sticky residue on them. Almost like Linseed oil when it is dry. The box they came from is clean...
Is it common to not have any inspectors stamps or a proof ("P") mark?
Thanks for the input.
Can anyone ID this stock? There are no arsenal marks or inspectors marks. No "P" proof either. Looks like an "S" in it's place. Could this be a Sedgley replacement? Did they even make replacement...
Ahh. This is the story I got from the man behind the counter. I cannot confirm or refute the story but it doesn't surprise me that he would try to embellish the story to make them seem more...
I have seen a couple 1917 rifles for sale locally that have what I think is a nickle colored finish on the metal done for parade use. One is in the 312,XXX range Eddystone. The other is a 388,XXX...
Does anyone know what goes into this hole in the buttstock? I thought it was for an oiler but it is to small. Maybe a cleaning kit? Can they still be found?
Can modern ammo ( Prvi) be fired in...
I just put a new bookcase in my office and while I was transferring the books I realized I have quite a few Military manuals. Some have glued bindings over stapled pages while others have saddle...
Quick question. Do the Yugo M57 and Russian TT33 mags in 7.62x25 interchange? I have heard that they do AND that they don't. Just need clarification.
This is the Remington 03A3
I put the sight back on and had no witness mark to go by so I lined it up by centering on the bolt channel. I assumed that this would line it up with the bore so it will be close to being centered. I...
Could I remove the side plate and use this technique without possibility of losing parts or will the cosmoline come out anyway the way you describe?
---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ----------...
Thanks, I knew there was a similar model that can be looked up.
Bore is quite nice but the old cosmoline is real glue like (cylinder is gummy, internals look like they need a good cleaning and...
I have a S&W Victory that is full of cosmoline that I need to clean. I was wondering if there are takedown instructions that I can access or reference so I can clean this pistol. Can regular .38...
There is no indexing mark on the dovetail. Do you just center the sight by eye? No staking hole either. Just those little fingers of metal in the dovetail.
