Nice!
I made a new barrel for this Stevens 94 in 38-55 for CAS. I did this project because an ejector is allowed in a single shot for this type of rifle for this sport and it is an advantageous...

1-9 is common for 17 calibers. For a 1-12, you would probably want a very light weight bullet.
I'd like to see what was done to the bolt and extractor to accommodate the smaller case head and...

RD,
Square threads aren't an issue. I've done a few of those in the past. I think the octagonal will just make it look old and more unique. :)

Greetings and thank you all for your input. I am not going to attempt to restore this rifle, it will become a sporter. I participate in Cowboy Action Shooting and would like to be able to use this...

Greetings and thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.
I acquired a Werndl 1867 barreled action. Since original parts are made of unobtainium, I am planning to fit a new lock to the...

Nice! Enjoy the successful results of your project and make sure you treat your wife well. ...As your head is probably also about the size of a football. :)

How did your Type38 wind up with an 8x57 barrel?

Here's the Type 99 TBG. I did not choose the stock. :)

Thank you for the accolades! It was fun to build and it was a hoot to shoot it in a finished state. It definitely shoots within minute of tin can and there are no cans that are safe in my county...

If I had a junky Smidt-Rubin, I'd give it a try. :)

Exactly! I built up the feed ramp and did my best to modify the extractor so the rounds would pop up under it. It works okay, but I don't think Paul Mauser ever intended someone to adapt John...

Modified original. I shortened it and worked on the hook so the cartridge would pop up easier. There is no real taper in a 45 ACP to help with feeding and you need to carry the cartridge over the...

There is very little forward thrust on a straight case, just the resistance of the bullet trying to exit the barrel. If you were worried about it, you could make a new retainer pin/bolt out of...

Nice! Now you have a combo 45-70 and 12 Gauge. I like these old actions! I have a pair of the smaller frames and two mediums. One of those mediums was a 44-40 saddle ring. It was bubba'd good,...

It takes me a while to get things off the bench. This project is almost there, it's a "Why Not" project. I shortened a badly pitted vz24 by 1.2 inches, made a firing pin that would allow me to...

uscra112,
Do you mind sharing the chamber pressures you used to calculate your back thrust? If I do the math backwards, I come up with ~15K PSI for the LR Stinger. Thanks! -map
Forum: Rimfire Area
Thank you uscra112. This helps!
I do not know the velocity of the CBs or BBs for that matter. You hit the nail on the head though, I plan to rehab some boys rifles from the late 1800s. I've...

Thank you TBG I need to get a few projects off the bench before I tackle this next one.

Thank you tazman! I am contemplating bringing an antique rifle back to life. I believe the rifle was chambered for 22 CB caps originally which according to these numbers would have a rearward...
Forum: Rimfire Area
Thank you 243winxb. I was able to find the information on the short too. I'm seeking the allusive 22 Conical Ball Cap or 22 CB. I can not assume that the CB is the same as the short.
Forum: Rimfire Area
Can any one direct me to a reference for the chamber pressure of the 22 CB? Thanks!
