Why not cut it yourself and thread it to whatever pitch plug you have?

Two nice handloads...both 174 grain boat tail spitzer copper/lead in PPU brass and 43 grains of IMR 4064...my Finn slugged a .311.
One round is a Sierra Matchking in .311 and the other is a Hornady...

Reloading, for me, is half the fun...working up accurate loads and playing around with variables.
I'm not hot about bimetal rounds and steel casings either....both are sub par routes chosen for...

That looks like a good mount...this S&K is nicely done too...bore sighted it yesterday and am loading up some rounds....in .3105 and .311 both 174 gn boattail spitzer...same brass and powder charge...
Forum: Military Rifles
stuff arrived today....nice solid mount thru the pin area and the same rear screw into the sight mount..224558224560
Forum: Military Rifles
Looks very practical but I'd already ordered the S&K altho they mount in a similar fashion. I would have given this a look.

Looks like a fun shooter....I have a 3x12 scope coming for mine and an S&K scout mount....if that were my rifle I'd clean up that blunt cut off nose... won't shoot any better but more balanced...
Forum: Military Rifles
This is a fun rifle for sure. I put an 8.6 mm front sight in place of the 7.4 and that got me down in the black @ 50 m. Still a tad high so will place a thin paper shim under the rear sight where...
Forum: Military Rifles
That is what I am thinking too....I shot some .310 PPU RifleLine today and the groups opened a tad but the Sellier and Bellot is a true .311 and prints well...I bought both for the brass also and to...
Forum: Military Rifles
Thanks Maven and that .312 is in cast lead only or copper clad too? Did you slug the barrel for a diameter?

Question...just slugged the bore and have a .311 at the grooves and .30 at the lands...as close as I can get with calipers it seems to be on with multiple 'gentle' tries. If there is an error it...

If I went the modification route I'd go original Russian style mount and scope...but...I don't want to do permanent mods to it...it is not 'special' by any means but it is a great example and all the...
Forum: Military Rifles
Well, you can go with an original Russian style mount if you tap the receiver, inlet the stock a bit off side of the ejection port and change the bolt handle but I want to keep the rifle as is as all...

Purchased a Finn MN after digesting as much info as I could on the net. 1944 SAKO on an 1895 receiver re barreled by the Finns in '44. 100% blue and immaculate bore/muzzle (not slugged yet)..stock...
