    Mosin bolt headspace question for the experts

    So it does work as I was thinking, which is all I'd have to do is buy a bunch of bolt heads and find the one that works as far as correcting headspace, and conversely, doing the opposite is fine if I wanted to switch out bolt bodies to a bent bolt?

    Mosin bolt headspace question for the experts

    Looking for another donor bolt for my 91/30. I'm wondering how the headspace/bolt assembly works on this thing. I know it's rimmed so the casing headspaces off of that, but on the bolt head itself, what's allowing that to happen? Is it the bolt face itself that's sunken in those few extra...

    What are your favorite barrels

    I dont know if I'm too late on this or not but any of the brand name barrels will shoot if you do your part. (though I'm not sure white oak, ballistic advantage, wilson combat or faxon do bolt rifle barrels but I could be wrong; those are usually AR barrels) Even though some competitors don't...

    Anyone have a source on decent Howa clamp on bolt knobs?

    Getting another Howa 1500 but these new ones dont have threaded bolt handles. Seen that there are clamp on/bolt on knobs out there but they're either silly or straight plastic. Tacticalworks was the only decent knob I found but it's now out of stock. Till I get this thing threaded, anyone...

    Optics WTB Aimpoint QRP1 Mount

    Actually just found one, but, I'm curious as to what the 'pro' version of this is. Is it the current version that comes with the 'PRO' optic?

    Worst Value Optic?

    Not sure that's what they're arguing. I agree totally though, I take the exact same approach; "what were we doing before all of this shit came out?" lol. It seems we were all just fine shooting total CRAP Leupold M3As and the vari x whatevers in SFP with standard mil dot reticles lol. But I...

    Worst Value Optic?

    Yea, not sure what's going on with them. I've been a Burris owner since the 80s, and they always beat Leupold in my opinion for the money. (they weren't better than leupolds, but their value was better) I have an XTR2 as of now and what's odd is when it's really bright out, I can't get the...

    Those are them! Although I do not remember them being that brand, but I could be wrong.

    Worst Value Optic?

    I really like Burris scopes, always have, but there's definitely a QA thing going on with them. My buddy has a few XTR2's, and they're all different. some have really generous eye boxes, while others have ULTRA small boxes. Some are way clearer than others as well.

    Looking for some old scope rings, need some help.

    Does anyone remember the old (i feel they may have been warne or talley) steel scope rings from the 80s and 90's that appeared to be all one piece? They were split in the center only on the bottom and you had to spread the ring over your scope then affix that nub into the base. They were...

    Brass Hardness Question

    Quick question; Glen Zedikers book "Top Grade Ammo", when describing casings, said "harder is better". He said Winchester, Nosler and LC brass is hard, and the others are soft, especially Lapuas. First, I'm understanding that the key attraction to Lapua's inordinately expensive brass is it's...

    Powder through dies - do you use them?

    That's precisely what I'm doing; trying to read up on what works for other people; And how is contemplating that certain die trying to reinvent the wheel? The question was clear, and if I got a ton of people that responded back with "I get a lot of problems with that setup" then I would take...

    Excellent info from all of your recent posts; thank you! Although I am aware of everything you said, putting it all to pictures helps cement it in, and re-affirms that I'm not as crazy as my friends try to make me out to be by being anal on my "precision if you will" AR builds. (which this one...

    Understood. We will reexamine that load then. Thanks for that intel. I chose 130's as an option for bullet choices (not to mention you buy what you can buy, and learn to make it work in this biden world) because that's what the federal GMM load was; 130 bergers. I've always had excellent...
