Screwball, thank you that is what I was looking for. I understand forged vs cast but I do not want the opinions, the rifle is what it is. I have a better idea what to look for. You answered perfectly and if I do sell I can do it knowing I am not screwing the next guy. Value is only what someone is willing to pay for it. Thanks again

Thanks, but this is seeming way too complicated. How do I know which parts are new and which are old? Better yet, who can look at it and tell me?

Not looking for forged vs cast. Does not matter to me. I have one, it is a great shooter in great shape. What I am looking for is what is a fair value. I am thinning my stuff and this is not one of my go to rifles so I am looking to sell just not sure what it is worth. Please do not try and compare to a CMP rifle. it is what it is a, well made rifle. With it I will also be selling around 700 rds in clips, 400 or so of it in bandoleers with cardboard inserts. It is non reloadable Danish. not sure value. Thank youthanks for your help

Poor crimp.

I do my rifle reloading using RCBS powder measures and 5 0 5 beam scales. For both bolt action and semi auto rifles. At 1 point I suffered from OCD and tried to squeeze every last 1/128th out of a round. I tried every technique and gadget thinking that I could be more accurate than the last. I discovered 2 things, 1, I do not have that much time or money to waste 2, I could not tell the difference at 300 yds between standard reloads and I think I am Joe Super Sniper rounds. The guys who shoot 1000 plus yards or compete for 1/128 inch wins or losses, it makes sense for them. I also do not meter every charge for perfect weight. I check every 10 or 20 rounds and if it is within +/- .002 it is perfectly acceptable and you will never know the difference unless you are loading everything at max powder charge, and even then you probably won't either. Just my experience over the years. I load for rifles from 1889 up to modern. Ask lots of questions and read lots of info. Everyone has their own quirks and will never agree 100% with someone else. Trial and careful error is how you will learn.

CZ 550FS in 6.5x55

Smooth no BS transaction, Nice guy to deal with thanks

Ya can't fix stupid

Smooth deal, nice guy, no BS. The way it should be. Thanks

The NJSP advise local PD's to do this but it is not required. Some people are out of work, some are self employed. Not everyone has a boss, but it is one more BS way to harrass people.

I was surprised how mild the recoil was on a Type 99. I just restored a nice 4th series Nogoya.

Sig or CZ

They both blow donkey balls

Nothing surprises me anymore. Never underestimate the stupidity of a voter.

I had a conversation with a guy in Soloman's today who asked what I thought about a new AWB. Then proceeded to tell me how he hates AR's, how they serve no legitimate purpose and only likes true bolt action target rifles and how he does not care if they get banned. After talking to him (hitting my head on a cement wall) for 5/10 minutes I told him he will care when they come for his Garand because it is a semi, and none of us will be left to care. We are our own worst enemy. We have let the media define what our rifles are called and then joined in on the stereotyping.

Blued steel and wood. There is something about closing the actions on pre 98 Mausers that does it for me.

I like RCBS competition dies. I have them in a few calibers

No, it pretty much is the best single source book to use for a reloader and the one I reccomend to everyone who is starting out. Multiple books are important and helpful, but this one is a must to be included in every library.

Oh you do, it is their warning to you that you are too close. Like a rattlesnake does. They generally do not attack full grown adults, but I remember news stories at least once a year when a family from LA ventured out into the hills to explore nature and let their toddler run ahead of them only to watch as the kid was carried away or attacked by one.

It is not the sighting of a Mountain lion you should worry about, it is hearing that low growl and not seeing them. It means you re too close.

yes, but once you get to 200gr the bullets are better suited for 30 06 in most cases.

what rifle are you loading in 30 06?

My wife has one on her gun, it is the most comfortable stock I have shouldered yet on an AR and gives an excellent cheek weld.
