The Indonesians themselves bored out many to .303 Then the rifle will accept standard .303 British ammo. For some reason they labeled their conversions “7.7” (millimeters). Still see a few for sale...

I personally would not hesitate to use 6.5x54 Mannlicher cases as parent brass for the 6.5 Carcano or 7.35 Carcano. Look at cartridge drawings if you can find them. They are very close.

Years ago...

Does unfiered 7.62x54r cartridges fit in the chamber ok?

You need to be aware of the laws in your own state. Some states do treat them just like modern firearms, even if federal law does not.

This happened in New Jersey about 10 years ago.

As others have mentioned, oversized chambers are common. I would try backing off on your sizing die just enough so a resized case chambers easily, and will hold a bullet.

Just for grins, here is a firing replica Sharps carbine on gunbroker; if yo look, an ffl tranfer is not required (at the federal level). They are not inexpensive, but Petersoli is a good gun.

For rust I like Frontier 45 pads.

I believe Winchester switched from Nickel steel to Winchester Proof steel in the mid 1930’s. But that was more for the new high velocity cartridges that the...

Why not research IMR-4198. It is bulky, and usually still available

Mine is a mid to late 1990’s Mini-30 that I am pretty sure is the larger groove diameter. It is surprisingly accurate, but certainly no target rifle. My great irritation is that it does not always...

Factory cartridge or reload?

I believe that the original Ruger Flat Top Blackhawk, with its small grips may be part of the story.
I only own a Hawes (JP Sauer) Western Marshall in .44 mag. Some older “warm” .44 special loads...

FN would have made that ammo to be used in a variety of outdated, but still serviceable (and in use)military firearms from that era; M-1 Garand, Fn-49, 1917 and 1919 series Machine Guns, and many...

eBay has a guy selling 2 clip sets for around $35. Not cheap anymore, but 4 should last a long time if you are careful with them.

I would be very careful with that Hornsby jacketed bullet if it is .267” round nose. The are known to be very touchy in the Carcano, and the Hornady reloading manual specifically covers this topic....

Thank you for the pictures. That is about what I am planning with the existing scope blocks.

The rifle is drilled and tapped for a receiver sight from the factory; but only one sight, the Redfield...

Thank you Bigted and Missionary5155. I looked up the Lyman Targetspot scopes. Wow, they REALLY are expensive. Just more scope than I want for a factory sporter profile barrel
.
I am on the look...

Yes, I mentioned the Hi-lux briefly. There seems to be an issue with the new rings fitting older bases. And there screws are criticized for being very soft.

But it is a choice. I am just not sure...

Sorry I got that wrong. Never had the greatest memory!

Forum member Texas by God did a lengthy write up about his KNIL M95. His had a grossly eroded bore. I have one also. I bet the .268” projectiles will slip fit inside your fired cases. If so, I would...

Greetings all. I have a Winchester Model 54 in .270. It is an early one, and still has the steel but-plate. It also has old style scope blocks, on the front receiver ring, and barrel. They ate about...

I would investigate what an eye doctor could do do you as concerning shooting specific prescription lenses. You will want to measure, as accurately as possible, the distance from your eye to the...

I remember reading articles by Ross Seyfried in the early 1990’s about doing this in “Guns and Ammo”.

I like the Marlin and have had them for years. The BLR is well made, and elegant. I could just never get over the complexity of the geared lever, and possibly putting it back together wrong. I am not...

This has been a known issue for a very long time. In the mid 1920’s the Italian military took many worn M-91 long rifles and cut them into a Carbine pattern known as the M-91/24. These have been well...
