Thanks for all the replys. I will begin my journey for information with the info supplied. It is chrome lined , not cut anywhere. I shot it yesterday , but just 5 rounds. I had some sierra 174...

I wandered into a local pawn shop the other day and saw a 7.7 Jap bolt action rifle about to come out of pawn. It had it's mum on it, and was all original, even to the stubby little rod that I...

If you still have them, I will buy one. Thanks, Tom

That's about the neatest thing I have seen in a while. I'm just a little bit jealous.

Well, got a field gauge and tried it. It would almost close on it, but not quite. Since I want accuracy, I bit the bullet and ordered a new barrel from CMP. Not bad, 189.95 delivered. I am very...

Thanks Sunray. Good info about CMP. I took the bolt down prior to checking the head space. Holding the bolt forward with the gauge in the chamber, you could hear it rattle. I am leaning toward a...

I don't have the gauges to check wear on the throat or muzzle. The last 2 inches of the bore does't look too good, almost like a lot of cleaning rod wear. Another reason that I was planning to...

I wondered if another bolt would correct it. I would have to find some and try them until I got one right. Kind of like buying a correct bbl and hoping that it would not be too deep in the chamber.

The primers were backing out way too far for me. I believe that the CMP sells Criterions, and will install them also. I was hoping to hear from someone that had used them
Also I was referring to ...

I bought a 43 date Springfield a couple of months ago , and finally shot it the other day. After looking at the ejected cases I did something I should have done before purchase. I got a set of head...

How can I tell if all the parts on my Colt are original , or at least correct ? It has serial no 1170xxx. The barrel is marked Colt 45 auto on the lower left side of the chamber just over the lug....

I might try some cast later. Right now I want it to shoot the jacketed bullets. I just bought a Garand last Friday. Now I have two to work up loads for.

well, shot the Enfield today, using 150 gr Hornadys over 48 grains of IMR4064. I tried three different seating depths. It would put 4 in about 2 inches, with one out an inch or so.
the seating...

I think the throat might be bad. It won't consistently shoot 3 inches. The flat base 200 grain bullets didn't do much, and I bought a box of 150 Hornadays today. The hunt continues.

This bore is just not that bad. It is dark, but has strong lands. I have a shooter/machinist here that is altering a tool to reach in and touch up the crown. I have a 94 Win. in 38-55 that has the...

Making the old barrel shoot is a challenge. The only thing I really don't like is the counter bore. If I have to I might try a Critirion. on it. I looked them up ,and I can get one for around...

KCW, I put some plastic shim under the area you suggested, but I don't think I have it even. I might increase it a bit and see if that helps. us said 5 lbs worked for him, so I will start there. ...

I have a 600 9mm para and a 400 9mm Largo . Both are very reliable and a lot of fun to shoot, but like dave said, recoil is there. Not terrible though. Neat guns.

I bought a Eddystone 1917 the other day in a pawn shop. All Eddystone, with it 1918 barrel , but parkerized. Bore has strong rifling, but the grooves are dark. Muzzle is counter bored about two...

If 03rifleman didn't take it, I will buy it. Tom

I'm having trouble getting communicating with you as to getting an address to send the money to. You indicated that you were selling me the J 5 bolt you had advertised , and I will send the money as...

Mickey, did you get my email ?

F you still have the J5 bolt, I will take it. Let me know. Thanks, Tom

Great. I will put the old one back in it, and see how it does. Thanks for all the info. Tom

Thanks , I didn't know that. I though they changed around 1920.
