that's one of the benefits of casting your own. if the barrel is a bit worn, just increase boolit size. I have a garand that I shot the barrel out of, wouldn't hit a 24x36 pig at 300 meters. I started shooting .311 sized boolits (instead of .309). shoots just like it did when I first bought it.Do i need a mint gun or will it shoot ok with some wear on it.
Because of the massive amount of knoledge that is avalible on this sight Im going to buy a sportrized 1903 with Redfield sights. Im wanting a gun to shoot and I think this will be the best way to spend my money. I know this is a total 180 but you have shown me the flaw in my original plan.
Still a great move.
Still get a great gun..still fot great hostory..still got great acuracy. ..and still got money left over to customize it making it even more yours..wins all along...good luck..
I've seen and fired both 2 and 4 groove rifles that shot better than I could shoot them. my 61 year old eyes no longer lend themselves to really tight groups. If I can keep them in the black at 200 yards, or ring the 13" gong at 200, I'm thrilled.
