Thanks, the optics are really good. The mounts are mushy and 1/3 minute not 1/4 but you can upgrade the mounts, a buddy of mine did so and they are very nice.
is that the upgraded ones from Hilux ? sounds like a good option

Do you know what all is done to the Fulton Regulated Enfields? Is it just a specific bedding process for Enfields or..??
Actually in speaking with him I found out that his repro mounts came from Steve Earle.is that the upgraded ones from Hilux ? sounds like a good option
I’d be interested in your 500grn load, if you’re comfortable sharing it.

I have a 1941-dated AJACK on a Swedish M41B, and used to have a PEM 4x scope (reproduction from central Europe) on a M39 SOV replica.For those who've shot all of 'em - how do the Ajack 4x vs ZF39 vs ZF4 vs PE/PEM compare with each other? Which one would you say is the best of the crop?
StirrerBeautiful set up great finish and good-looking scope, but you do know that's not a sniper rifle, right?
Yeah but this is the only vintage rifle I have, sadly....Beautiful set up great finish and good-looking scope, but you do know that's not a sniper rifle, right?
Yup, that's your clamp on brake.BTW........ where did you get that threaded muzzle brake? That looks like one of mine.

Thank you very much for the information !ZF-1, truth be told, the K 31 rifle holds the Guinness world record for longest shot with open sights from a military rifle. There is a tremendous amount of information on your rifle, and I'm going to post one of my archives as concerns stocks. The world record was made with an issue 1946 K 31 in its original wood stock.
There is no doubt in the world that if your barrel is set up correctly, you're going to be able to shoot side-by-side at the range with state-of-the-art current rifles. There is one thing that the factory did that many do not take into consideration when they switch into one of the new type stocks. Every K 31 that was issued has a 7.5 pound up pressure on the barrel at the end of the forestock. That pressure is regulated by a wedge in the lug well, and by doing that the armory has made it so that issue K 31s will all shoot to the same point of impact, one rifle to another. Things change a little bit when you free float the barrel, but one of my archives addresses that. In the meantime, let me give you a link to that particular archive of mine that will explain about the stocks.
These archives contain virtually anything you need to know about your rifle, precision and long-distance shooting.

Outstanding!Just picked up this old 1903. A Remington, and the stock is somewhat naturally camoflaged.
View attachment 8016297View attachment 8016298Seriously, the quality of this rifle is right up there with Griffen and Howe. It’s in 25-06. Only taken it out to 400 yds on steel so far. Tomorrow looks promising enough to see what kind of groups I can get. She produced just barely under moa @100 yds.

The load 50 gr. of IMR 4831 with a 120 gr. bullet. Haven't figured out the velocity, but it takes 5.75 moa to get to 400 from a 100 yd. zero.What loads are you running?
Any clue on the gunsmith, barrel brand? Aftermarket trigger?
Stock looks very well done!
Its not about technology. Sniping is about the weaponization of math.
If you shot the Model 1903A4, with crafted match ammo. It could hold its own with any modern rifle of the same caliber.
Technology doesn't mean better, it means easier. For example, take the fancy CNC lathes now. The computer takes the art out of the game.
Take a gander at this lathe. We laugh when we see something like that in a gun shop now. But that lathe has probably done more for rifle/pistol design and inventions then any lathe in history.
That is the lathe used by John Moses Browning, I took the photo at the Browning museum in Logan Utah.
Back to the M1903 Rifles I mentioned. Its strong, reliable, and ACCURATE. This is the action the Army used to build their Mann Devices. A device they issue to ammo suppliers to test the accuracy of their ammo.
It was used in several calibers, '06, 308, 30 cal carbine, 22 Hornet, and as pictured below, 45 ACP.
Never underestimate old rifles or old machinist.

How long are the barrels on your Manns? Any clue on barrel maker?I know I'm quoting a post that's almost 6 years old, but he mentioned Mann Accuracy Devices and those are something that I happen to collect! Here's a few, I've actually purchased more since I took these photos:
I used the Remington 700 5.56 Mann Accuracy Device (1 of 2 known) for this oddball build. The Horus scope is from a Mk11.

You’d need to be quite some marksman with a rifle and scope combination like that hey?!
Agree.It's a nice rifle, but it didn't shoot Kennedy either.
I've read a few time that the 7mm Carcanos were actually pretty good rifles, but I have no hands on with any of them.
If I may ask, what is the damage caused by single loading/firing?They are a bit of an odd duck and from what I remember want "true" 30 cal bullets, as in .300. I have a box of original but not the rifle. If I could source bullets and brass I would own one.
As we have drifted a bit to carcano, sorry but not too sorry, and you want to play with it I strongly suggest getting one of these thingies. It is not good on the rifle to single load it and you can damage the bolt. This little gizmo takes care of that issue if you don't have the clips. Hold on to the thing when you eject it, the spring in the rifle will shoot the thing across the room. See the dent on the top right of the block....yup.....dumb ass.

For what it is worth, here is the ammo and an original box for the 30 cal. Also you can use the same clips for the 6.5

If I may ask, what is the damage caused by single loading/firing?
IMO, there are a lot of designs/manufacture of rifles that are really ‘capable’. A lot of it depends on the rifle as to whether it is worn badly from use, or used by people that don’t understand good marksmanship. I gave the M16 a thumbs down until I really lerned to shoot it. Same with M-N 91/30’s. Get a good refurb and they shoot amazingly well. Same with Carcanos. FTR, I shot a ‘good’ one with the right bullets, and it did well. That said, you gotta be reaaly fuckin’ good to pull off “the shots that killed Kennedy”.
Personally, I think the killing shot came from the manhole cover at the base of the grassy noll.
