Thanks for all the replies. I have been looking around the net and i have found out a few things about this receiver. it seem like it was a greener shotgun once. looks like there are a few remains of...

This is the sight on a greener martini that was converted to 444. I would like to try something different for a rear sight. I bought the rifle on this site from a fellow named Tunnel. The rifle has a...

I have been using Alox and 45/45/10 lube for years. The one thing I don't like about it is that the Alox lubed bullets seem to attract dust and lint. I just tried something a few days ago. After the...

I too have a 9.3x57r but mine has a .365 bore. I bough a 37-193 B (drops at .366)mold that was designed for the 9.3x72r but it works well in may 33.
I have tried a 14g load of Trailboss (using the...

Yesterday i annealed all 80 of my Federal cases dried them out and re-tumbled them. This morning i ran them through the FL sizer die and checked each one in the chamber on my rifle. They all...

I did make a trip to the hardware store
4mm is to small and 5mm is to big.
The existing screw fits into a 10-32 nut but is loose, a 10-32 screw will cross thread in the hole on the bottom of the...

I have a M33 rolling block and the installed sights are pretty poor. so I was able to buy from a member here a Lyman peep that matches the finish and is the correct height. Now to mount it.
The tang...

So i did some tinkering this morning.
Measured all my #2 shell holder and they are all within a half thousandth.
Took a thousands and a half off one with the mandrel and sandpaper trick. No joy....

I have been doing a sort of plunk test on each round before loading to see if they are going to give me problems. So i have a pile of rejects to work with. Tomorrow i am going to check the shell...

It is not the cartridge length as they have all been trimmed after the FL sizing step. I have the press set so that the end of the stroke actually cams over so to speak. i am going to check a few of...

should have mentioned the die is screwed down so that the bottom of the die contacts the shell holder.

I have been having a problem with sizing some 30-06 brass. The brass is commercial Federal, RP and Winchester. the dies are Lee RGB, the lube is Imperial spray lube. The Brass is range pickup and...

I was thinking along those lines but i have a question about which sight you are using. The 1893 sight from Marbles has the .460 spacing and 1.92-2.255 height. the 1892 has the 1.125...

I think i get it but a picture would make it easier to get my head around this instalation.

I have an M33 roller in 9.3x57r ( a shooter not a collector by any means) and i have put together components to shoot it. I use a 38-55 basic cartridge and a 193 grain Bullet from and Accurate mold....

Having found some ammo that fits and shoots well i think i'll just keep it as is and enjoy it. On another note I picked up a Mannlicher Schoenauer in 30-06 and found it to be very particular about...

I have a couple bricks of Aquila and the gun seems to like them so i think i'll just shoot them and leave the pistol as is. Interestingly the Aquilas don't seem to shoot well in my other 22s either...

As with any new to me gun it got a complete take down inspection and cleaning prior to being loaded and fired. The gun is in very good condition and i don't think it has been shot very much at all....

I am thinking that the gun i have is from before 1940 as there is no letter prefix on the serial number. I have 2 other brands of ammo i am going to try next week(they both fit the chambers). So far...

I picked up a Sportsman a while ago and finally took it to the range to see what it liked. I had some Rem. Golden bullets and sub-sonics a box of Winchester super x and some CCI long rifles and CB...

I picked up a Huaqvarna Model 33 rolling block in 9.3x57r. I have been able to make brass with 38-55 basic (2.24”) and I altered a set of 9.3x72r dies to load with. I bought the Accurate 37-193B mold...

Thanks to Mart i now have a proper set of dies on the way.
I was casting about (pun intended) at my gun club for any of the fellows there that might have 20 or so 303 British or 30-40 Krag that i...

I just re-read my last two posts and i said to myself that guy is making all kinds of excuses when presented with good information and helpful suggestions. Please don't get me wrong love getting old...

The same general issue exists with the 7x57 rimmed cartridge rim and base are bigger and would need some work to get them to fit.

I will keep my eye out for some 303 brass. It could work but i think i might need to do some rim/base work as well. the 303 rim is at .540. a 38-55 with a .506 rim is quite snug. the rim for a...
