Yes, I have heard about picky collectors like him, but my provenance with this particular rifle eludes him. I will simply ignore him and forgive his ignorance.
I'm thinking about $1000 bundled...
I may have the opportunity to purchase the rifle that I used in competition when I was a young man. :icon_lol:
The metal is nothing special , GI parked 1960s SA barrel and 1940s receiver- rear...
My 1917 doesn't like M2 as well as the 173gr M1/M72 bullets. I have reserved my M2 for Garand blasting ammo.
The Classic 168 gr BTHP match bullet would be a good choice. Any powder from 4895 to...
As of 1935, the company name was Winchester-Western.
Ummm, Winchester used ball powder in WWII to load 303 and 30/06 ammunition. Hodgdon sold some surplus powder after the war as Ball C and 380 respectively. The modern newly manufactured commercial...
IMR8208 was developed by DuPont in the mid-1960s to resolve the shortcomings of the Olin WC846 ball powder in use with 5.56 ammo at the time. It was truly an American success story. By the late...
On the primer recommendation, we had good success with Remington 9 1/2 in M1 and M14 with IMR 4895.
In bolt guns, Federal 210M was our standard for many calibers from 22/250 to 308. As was already...

We would love to have a box or two for display. DM marked cans and crates are also very...

It's a '98 rifle.
Thanks!

How does $80 sound?
How about $40 shipped?
Fresh find from the parts box.
Bands are in the white with light rust. Sling swivel and screws are 90%+. Buttplate is good except for the gate being bent. Buttplate screw is VG+
What you see...
This bolt came in a DCM (remember them?) Remington 03/A3.
Everything is in good serviceable condition. Finish is green Parkerizing that is 90%+.
The only markings on the bolt (without...
I tried the 147 gr FMJBT bullets years ago in a couple Krags. Never could get decent accuracy with them.
Perhaps you will have better luck.
Brass received from Musketshooter.
Thanks
I don't know what happened to musketshooter. I have sent him a PM and an e-mail through the BBS and have not heard back yet.
The OP wants to start with 30/06 which immediately implies that a good single stage will suffice. The single stage will always be useful even if you move to a progressive later.
There is a lot of...
PM sent.
I'm interested in a few more.
I need 30/40 Krag brass in good, reloadable condition or new would be great too. :)
We have cash or the following trade fodder;
Brass;
30/06 USGI once fired, Match and Ball.
7.62 USGI once...
