The pin idea is used here also on several shorties with full length rods. In regard to a revolver/hunting/Muzzle season well, you park the airboat a touch off trail and walk in dark early, mid...

Way back when I modified several 03's/A3's with Timney's, if I remember correctly just about everyone required some relieving in trigger window both X and Y. What if you took assembled weapon (empty-...

Sounds like a mix master parts gun, milled with pinned? Just my guess, if it goes band and is safe to shoot, trigger is not too bad, and comes real close to hitting what your aiming at? Go online and...

Maybe you had two bad primers? 7.65x53 hmmm? When was the last time the bolt was stripped and cleaned?

Not being a smarty pants but I like it, if I squint a little looks like a good layout for a leaf scroll pattern. Duplicate it on other side? Maybe have it mapped and lasered on other side, I have...

I would recommend you make a chamber cast or even better a pound cast and start working from there. Tromix I do believe was the originator but there are several built by others with reverse...
10 Round Pmag for range unmodified for 5.56 and 300, when you get into big pills on the 300 you need to file/sand but no big deal. And then there are the ten rounders I have modified for my hunting...

But playing devil's advocate the new class of the papered/pampered ones at the big desk say- sales are down and we will move that production allocation away to other areas. It's all about the power...

Probably at the end of the day a valid question. These guys probably had the same breakfast, same socks and shoes required for the Schutzenfest, but when they pull off a 249 12X open sights...

I have an early Hoch mold I picked up used and it has a very light center punch half way out on nose on one side. I have seen way back where some of the old guard "V" filed a notch for twelve O'clock...

Seen added detail of loose in dovetail, that's a pretty easy fix. Drive out to what would be the RH side of gun, backwards upside down. Take a 1/4" nice square clean punch and starting on left side...
