I have built rifles without knowing what the rifle likes. I load 12 different loads of 10 rounds reach then sent the rifle with the ammo to the owner. I always ask them to determine what the rifle...
Many years ago I had no interest in becoming the Mauser expert on safeties. I did find members that became experts on the South American rifle with the safety that was different. I was told they had...
A few years ago I was asked to clean-out, sort and separate and then organize the contents of an off campus office of a professor. I thought he should have started years earlier, I did not think he...

I have FN receivers, all use 98 Mausers parts, some Belgium Mausers were different. The ones that were different required different parts. There was one that would allow the bolt to be assembled and...
All of my Mausers flip to the left to fire, yours flips to the right. I do not have a Mauser that flips to the right to fire, if it did you safety would have to stand straight up to set safety. I...

1929 was the end of Winchester, Olin and Western used the Winchester Repeating Arms head stamp, for me, not a problem because I sort cases by head stamps, if the case head had a year date, good,...
What is it about this thread you do not understand? The receiver is not from Spain, The serial number is below 5,000,000. It was suggested the parts were 03A3 parts except the receiver, the serial...
We supported the Bay of Pigs, we did not want anyone to know so the 30/06 ammo was given a head stamp of BN 1940. I have close to 80 cases with that head stamp.

I say "Not a problem for reloaders", but something is wrong, this has been happening for years and no-one has considered the case is splitting when the pressure drops because of pressure trapped...
Why are you so angry? The barrel is stamped "Produced by Santa FE Division"

1942 SHARPSHOOTER.
Again, I have bolts that are in all kind of stages of having the...

TIME: This could not happen to anyone but me. I pull the trigger and get a bang. eventually the bullet makes it out of the barrel and then I start making assumptions. I assume the neck of the case...
Thank you. I have three Santa Fee bolts with the lugs sheared off. All 3 bolts had the bolt faces opened up to belted magnum.
Cast rather than forged, I have seen the receivers, the serial...
Long story: I purchased a 1942 Remington A3, the barrel is stamped 'SANTA FE'. The rifle is like new, I purchased the rifle with two boxes of Remington Green boxed 30/06 rounds, I took the rifle with...

He was an employee at the store, he did not know where the pistols came from. He was aware he was obligated to inform me all of the pistols on the table were S$W single actions. Common among the...
And there was a time reloaders would order a bucket of bolts. AND THEN? keep ordering bolts until one fit.
