Have you tried the Magtech Bullets 45 Colt (Long Colt) (454 Diameter) 250 Grain Lead Flat Nose from midway?

Finally found a load I can work with, and am happy to report:

standard non-modified 45ACP brass, normally FL sized, primed CCI LP, fired using moon clips.

IF you have an application in for a claim, just go straight to the Disabled American Veterans website and seek out where you can get help. They will assign you legal counsel and get this sorted out...

I loaded up some .45acp brass with Missouri bullet co. 255g .452 dia SWC, using 45 Colt dies and Bullseye in various charges to get the accuracy and POA Id like. I dont recall the charge weights off...

I'll be sure to post a lengthy picture heavy build and range report of this clunker once all the last bits are reassembled.

chuck knows how to build boom sticks.

wow. Sorry you feel that way.

I have my reload tests complete. This issue rifle from 1942 fitted with just a Krieger barrel shoots better ballisticly than my Remington 700 .308.

Using 190g...

Does anyone know if the Marines used special leather caps (as seen on 1903A4's) on their M1941A1's?

If so, anyone have an image? I'm looking to get some made. These screw in things are a PITA.

I just last night sorted out an extractor issue which was causing cambering issues.

I had taken the rifle to the range once, just to break the barrel in. To get the scope zero'd I started at 50y....

I certainly didn't call and complain about the wait. As stated in my OP, I expected something like 6-8 months, and was surprised when it showed up in 5.

Either way, I still stand by the title of...

very nice rifle!

chuck assembled one for me as well. I had some time at the range to break her new barrel in. To get the scope zeroed I took her to 50 yards and using Greek ammo. She easily...

I am done with Krieger. Never ordering from them again.

I am an excellent communicator, and can do it in 2 other languages. I most certainly did NOT get what I asked for from the barrel they...

Meh....either way, I have no doubt Chuck will boss this rifle out, will shoot like laser and will easily replace my Rem 700 as my favorite bolt action.

I spoke with the Krieger rep the day I submitted my form, and addressed the form to him via email. I identified I needed the chamber will be finished for custom dimension loads. On my order form I...

Rant on;

In February I called Krieger to order a non-parkerized .30-06 GI spec barrel with a 1:11 twist, that would be custom chambered for my hand-load. I spoke to one of their workshop/barrel...

Facepalm

Sorry. I'll sort that out. Try again. Thanks!!

That's before people got lazy and only wanted paper pushing jobs and when Americans actually produced durable goods.

I lucked out and was able to pick up one of those long ass bayonets. Its more like a sword than anything.

I was active duty Marines From 98-03. I did 2 years infantry (1st Bn, 2nd Mar) out in Lejeune. I carried the SAW pretty much the entire time. During nearly all of our training when we actually had...

If you want a balls on accurate 03 shooter, PM chuckindenver.

If you let him work his magic, he can build military clone rifle to group sub-MOA with factory ammo

I think Naches has the best price, then optics planet. $520 something.

If I can use brass I already have, and buy a 10 pack of moon clips....to me its a no-brainer. not to mention easier to load/unload with moon clips as a type of speedloader.

and the cylinder was...

I'm in a similar situation. I've got a MK 6, it's been shaved for moon clips.

I tried ordering .455 bullets from Western bullet, but they have been out of stock for weeks and they don't know when...

Dumb question I'm sure, but why case the scope? Why remove it from the rifle? Wouldn't you have to mount and re-zero it? Kind of a waste Id think.

Cool repro though

Gap rifles are pretty dammed good. I complete in in entry level tactical and long distance 600-1000 yard matches. 1/3-1/2 of the rifles used are gap.

HA!

Ok, you got me on that one.

Krieger barrel is ordered. I want wanted 1:11 twist, so Criterion was not an option.
