I believe the rifle is a Swedish Rolling block. I had it out this afternoon and shot it a few times.
No real testing just yet. I’m going to neck size the cases I have and shoot it some more.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I neck sized a few last night . I’m going out after lunch today and try them. The cases I have say 8x56RS . I’ll report how they shoot.

Forum: Casting Equipment
I use a turkey cooker and a 20 pound LP tank.
I set it outside the shop door. I put an 8in square iron plate on it so not to warp the mold.
Put it on low and set the mold on it. Works good

I shoot a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. 200 grain RCBS cast bullet. 35/200 with 3031.
I love hunting with it.
RCBS. I have it mounted on an oak 2by4. I put the 2by4in the vise to use it. Then set it on the shelf until I need it again. I do the same thing with Lube Sizers
Forum: Military Rifles
I have one that’s been fitting with a plastic stock. Seems odd.
I wonder if it’d worth fitting it with a wood stock?
Forum: Factory Rifles
I also have one in 32-20 . Great fun only ever shot mine with cast .
Mine also has the magazine .
I have 300 empty cases another plus
I forget to mention the rifle is a US model 1917 made by Remington.
One of the best shooting rifles I’ve ever owned
