It shoots and will zero at 100yds

After a little zero chasing initially it settled down and started producing 1-2" 3 shot groups at 100 with 340 and 500 grain Lee cast and coated bullets.

At...

Four grade 8 10/32's have about 3x the clamping force of two 1/4-20 grade 5 bolts

I just tig welded the weaver base to the angle

The scope mount is done. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it, it could be a little lower but I have these medium weigand rings just gathering dust.

I will shoot it with this scope and if...

It's some sort of wrinkle finish paint not putting but I agree with your general assessment that this rifles value is in its conversion not its originality

I use satin black wheel paint for the...

My magazine is a late production but quite obsolete single stack affair. 165730

From what I've read if you don't have one of these your conversion simply won't work.

I've already a step ahead I've got a variation on KLR's mount using four 10-32 screws mounting it to the receiver. I'm waiting on some pretty button head socket screws to arrive in the mail.

Then...

Sounds neat.

I've already gone off on a different tangent. I ordered a section of steel weaver base that I plan to tig weld to the angle

Nice! What rings are those!

It looks just like mine.

Are there any caveats you've discovered loading for yours

This rifle has no intrinsic Milsurp value anymore. As such I've got no problem drilling and tapping it for the "indestructible scope mount." Mainly because it's lower.

I think the seller did a poor job of presenting the rifle as unless you were in the know like me it was just lying on a table looking like any of the other 1000 bubba 303's at...

I've been watching both locations intently. I am in fact subscribed to this one.

I should mention here like I did in the other thread that I've decided to sideline this project in favor of a...

You don't need 356 brass. You just need 308 brass. The rim is totally unnecessary

I've got a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington from the 1970's I've recently acquired, I've always been a fan of the cartridge but 35 Remington is getting very hard to even get brass to reload for and I...

Thanks for the input guys.

I assessed the options available to me from MGM. Given the too fast twist slightly incorrect .311" bore and added $100 cost for the blank I opted for the much more...

TC encore bbl 17" long with a .311 bore?

I'm pondering having one made as a cheap loading/casting low work to load high fun rifle. The only thing that bugs me about this is I am limited to a...

I find this thread fascinating.

I love reading about hunting cultures abroad and up till I saw this post I didn't even realize Japan had one.

Thank you for posting Tomo

I usually water quench right out of the PC oven for handling expediency and have been sizing within minutes.

This said I like my lead to age for a few days and settle in to its final diameter...

I've got something in the works.

It will involve transferring bullets but it should eliminate pesky rifle bullet fallover

My extended bake times are per the powder INSTRUCTIONS

I've had no such spotty bake issues on solid trays. But I follow instructions and bake for 20 min too

Even if you waste it on a THING at least you actually come away owning something

A truss plate might work for what you want and already be ready made

Eastwood powder is 20 minutes AFTER the powder flows out. But even if the time was ten minutes the oven wouldn't be waiting for the next batch.

I was changing the foil out after each bake....

The three foreground bullets depict my last batch before giving up on the NASF broken promise. The red is a batch on parchment paper.
