testing 1 2 3. testing 1 2 3...is this thing on?

used 700x when I couldn't find Titegroup or HP-38. worked very nicely in 380 ACP, 38 spl., target loads in 45ACP. does bridge some but had very good results.

Ordered 2- 8# jugs of WC-857.load development for my Howa 300WM. Ordered 2-5# of RL-17 for the same purpose.

I really liked the trigger on my .308. no creep and broke crisp and light. I'm thinking it would be hard to go wrong with a company that guarantees sub moa out of the box. I compared the Howa to the...

Thanks,

We'll see how the pillar bedding holds up under the recoil. If I need a stiffer stock then I'll get one. Really excited about load development for this one and have been thinking on the...

Ordered a New 24 inch threaded HB in a pretty ugly Hogue OD green stock today...hoping a good muzzle brake and the barrel's weight will make thus gun a good shooter. was looking at The REM 700 and...

Too Bad. Classic used to be reliable. Last few years they've really gone downhill with some of their surplus. When the hype and price goes up, the quality is usually down. I don't shop there anymore...

Are there any suppliers of stocks and fore stocks for the Puma 92's? I don't care for the stock on my gun and would like to get something of better quality, perhaps walnut...

It sounds like a period correct 1936 Tula Hex 91/30 to me. it would be a nice surprise if it is all original, including the stock. look for refurb marks on the stock, the barrel and receiver. see if...

My previous post I mentioned 10 or so Crates of exdragoons at Smokey Mountain Guns. It turns out after making an inquiry about having any Tula dragoons that they have 1 1/2 crates of exdragoons for...

Hex receiver 1920's ex-dragoons at Smoky Mountain Guns in Sevierville, TN going for $249.00. they claimed to have 10 more crates in the basement so....

thanks!

I'm looking at buying a Howa heavy barrel 300 Win Mag in the near future and need to know how many federal cases are in a 1 lb, or how much 1 300 win Mag case weighs. a bit of topic but guys have...

I just picked up a Howa 1500 in 308 Win 20 heavy barrel. This one came tricked out w/Hogue over molded, pillar embedded stock, a Nikko-Sterling 4-16x44 1 inch scope, a match grade 2 stage trigger...

148845 here is my Finn M-91 Tikka 1940 has a one piece, very nicely stripped stock. paid 325 for it and was worth every penny. has an undated Remington receiver with imperial eagle.
Also have an...

A few pics of the stampings and of the overall condition would be helpful. Also you need to remove te action from the stock and look at the rear tang on the receiver. If you have a pre-98 date it...

148419Remiel,
The Finn Battle sight is at 150 Meters so ya, they tend to shoot high. Also Military training for European troops was that they would hold their zero at 6 o'clock. the entire bulls eye...

GTEK,
Don't disagree with your line of reasoning but I'm going to start with adjusting the firing pin. The barrel is marked with a "D" so it is designated and designed to shoot Russian military ammo...

Ordered a bolt parts kit from milsurpdotcom. Don't mind having a few spare parts since I own 8 or 9 Mosins. Thinking I was off a half turn on my firing pin/cocking knob. I have the marks lined up...

Great suggestions guys. I will test other ammo first and if necessary adjust the firing pin half a turn. I noticed the pin is very slightly recessed in the cocking piece and the spring may need to be...

LB,
the brass cases appear to be just fine. There are no split mouths or stretch signs down towards the case head. The threaded end of the firing pins is more or less flush with the cocking piece....

Went to the range yesterday to sight in Nancy's Finn VKT M39,
Noticed that the gun was piercing primers using PPU 182 gr FMJ ammo.

Used the Russian field gauge and the pin was between the low and...

Remiel,
The M-39 chambers were reamed to accept Russian ammo. Hence, you should see a "D" marked on the barrel shank. The bores were nominally .310 and the throats were made to accept the Lapua...

Remiel,
For even money I'd take an M-39 over a M-44. Even a nice Finn M-91 will easily outshoot the Russian carbines. Full disclosure- I paid 3 bills for this M-44

John Miller,
That's my understanding also- 50,000 in total that were used as trail guns. 1943 was the first and lowest production year. Hence a 7 on a scale of ten.
