Very nice. What locking shoulder size did you end up having to use? An L1A1 I built off of a DSA Brit cut forged receiver required a special .249" FAL locking shoulder from gunplumber. For reference,...

I just use the same general load for all of my 7.62 military rifles - G3/FAL/M-14/SCAR-17 - which is just 42-43gr of Ramshot TAC with a 147gr FMJBT projectile, whichever one I can get my hands on for...

Easiest way to get rid of stainless steel pins is to run it through a media separator filled with water and go slow, do some counter rotations, and then shake out as much water as you can before...

99% Isopropyl Alcohol Mix with pure Lanolin oil in an 10:1 mixture. Set rifle cases in a box or crate, spray the cases with the spray lube, shake the box to make sure the lube is distributed across...

My personal mix for lemi-shine in a wet tumbler is one 9mm cap worth per cycle with one tablespoon of dawn dish soap and I get pretty good results. Too much citric acid means that the brass gets dull...

Whatever you do, DO NOT fire military spec GP11 out of an 1889 - you will damage the rifle due to the pressures involved.

As far as reloading for it, I've read people dispense with trimming cases...

Of the ones you listed, probably the Mosin-Nagant

The new primer system looks nice but not sure if it's solely worth upgrading to a 750 for.

OP - you have to upload the photos to an image hosting site first in order for it to display on a forum. I recommend Imgur.com - free and no hassle.

We're going to need pictures! :-o

Unfortunately not, I haven't had the opportunity to chrono 9mm loads out of the 200mm barrel that the Artillery Luger sports.

Mimicing others who have said it: I would definitely not let the firing pin rest on a live primer as a means to decock the gun. Just use the safety function on the K-31; it's not too difficult to use.

People who collect US Krags - would you say their barrels by and large are in good condition if you find a rifle, or are they usually pretty messed up?

Was the bayonet attaching for some bayonet charge at the range? :razz:

Took out my Garand to confirm zero and shoot some groups - still a good shooter, even after all these years!

I wonder if anyone makes Norwegian Krag replacement barrels these days?

Actual .308" bore? I'm assuming you neck size 7.62x54r brass and then load whatever .308" boolit that you want?

Artillery Luger shoots pretty well for a nearly 100 year old handgun!

And here's a Mauser Oberndorf Peruvian Contract Modelo 1909. Not quite "Imperial German" in issue, but definitely German through-and-through in the beautiful level of craftsmanship in these contract...

Here's a side-by-side of a Gew 98 and a Kar 98, showing the length difference:

I have a Remington-made M91 and a Finnish M39 with a VKT barrel and Remington receiver, and Chattelerault magazine/trigger guard. :)

Wow, a unique variation. Those are anti-aircraft sights, correct? There's a Gew 98 with night sights coming up in the next RIA premium auction, too.

I would hope someone with a username of "gew98" would enjoy his GEWs! :p
