I have about 100 cases headstamped WRA 34; I've had them for over 50 years. Bought at LGS as once-fired brass. When I queried the Dope Bag guys in DC, I was told these were loaded for the Navy, for...

You really need a 120 degree vee anvil micrometer to get an accurate measurement. If you want to send me a slug,
I'd be happy to measure it for you.

Hi Dick.

I think my days of precision shooting are over. Losing eyesight to retinopathy, and have not been to the range in about four years.

H&R/Pedersoli connection seem like coincidence? ...

I have it on fairly good authority that Hopeless and Revolting never sold any repop TD parts or machinery to Pedersoli. My father used to work there.

Here's a light recoil load that has worked well for me:

I think the last published rule book to carry the '03 as a Service Rifle was 1940. I don't think the NRA published a rule book again until 1953 or 54, and it was just the M1. I have the 1935 rule...

Only at short range and on really big targets. Trying to get centered up at 600 yards with an issue (unmodifed) 03A3 rear sight is an exercise in futility. Put a Lyman 48 on the back, and it will...

FWIW ... two of my SECNAV Trophy M1's had M14 hammers; neither had any issues at all.

If you want a contemporary receiver sight, the Lyman 48RS or 48R would be the one. They pop up on The 'Bay every now and again. HOld on to you checkbook, though ...

I got four of the Greek returns before they were offered up at-large; there was a pre-sale for existing DCM/CMP customers (I've been a DCM customer since the mid-1960's.). Three of the four were...

Not easy to see in the pic above, but yes, they are there.

Mickey,

As "Butler", said a lot of old-timers used to make a dummy to fit in the cutoff mortice. Yeah, I am an old timer, now, but I always used a piece of steel drill rod instead of brass. On...

Good quality rugged sight. No micrometer adjustments, of course, but if you do some homework and use some finesse, you can learn to make reasonably precise and repeatable adjustments with it. The...

My original "made by Parashooter" chargers work equally well with US .30 Krags and my 6.5x55 Norwegian Krag. No worries.

Respectfully,

M1898 rifles and carbines seem to be prone to have the rim hang up on the forward shoulder of the cutoff mortice when the cutoff itself is removed. M1892 and 1896 rifles/carbines seem to feed fine...

My Norwegian carbine is dated on the receiver ring. Yours is not ... ?

Mine will function equally well with .220 swift cases simply necked up to 6mm; .220 swift cases necked up with bases turned to 6mm Lee dimensions; or the reformed 25-06 cases that Buffalo Arms sold....

Paul et al:

The minimum trigger pull weight for CMP games matches is 3.5 lbs. I am not certain where that number came from, as the minimum pull for both Krag rifles and carbines back in the day...
