So I got two people in. Tomorrow night around 11 o clock I will pull a winner so you got another 28 hours to get into the pool if your interested M

don't take anything too seriously b/c the mall ninjas are still here unfortunately but welcome back, we were just talking about you the other day in fact lol

I just got it bore sighted was hoping to shoot it this past saturday before i left for my cruise this saturday but its not looking to good, stupid rain rain and more rain GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and you are a heathen you sadden me a lot but thats ok, as long as your shooting it and cleaning we are aok lol

i don't think i would ever classify a ruger gp100 as a smoother trigger than a 686. I've shot a brand new gp100 and it felt like sanding paper compared to my smith. But my smith is also used so mine might be broken in as well. But anyone that has ever shot my 686 including the OP of this thread said its probably one of the most accurate guns and easiest guns to shoot. I'd go smith over ruger, and i'd definitely take an older pre lock smith over a ruger any day

i just bought reloadable .308 ammo non corrosive for 200 bucks per 400 rounds, so the same price as cmp 3006

LOL I guess you sold a bunch of guns from the 2010 arms race

But the fire was caused by a .50bmg which is now why .50bmg is only allowed to be shot on one day a week at a certain time. I don't believe this applies to all ammo, only .50bmg

eric and ted nuff said

no promo's apply to products on sale aka price in red with midway so that's what your going to pay no way around it

I highly suggest using sweets 7.62 every other or maybe every 3 cleaning sessions. That stuff is sooooo nasty I not only want to clean with it but I can only imagine that repeated use could cause excessive wear on a gun but I have no info to back that up. I use sweets every so often. M

no restriction when nothing is in the chamber Only time there is restriction is when a case is in the chamber and really only after the first time it's chambered. After that it's a lot easier. Ted going on GB now to get the guys name, will send you a pm M

I dunno where you heard that the CMP is out of order but they have plenty and they are still selling it. In fact I just went on their e-store and added 5 to my cart with no problem.

Ted I've tried copious amounts of different ammo. The prvi ammo is supposedly reloaded to 7.62x53r standards as well but I call bupkis on that one. It's not a bullet diameter problem b/c I have the same problem with a resized empty cartridge with no bullet. It's not a head space problem b/c I proved that with the gauges. That leaves a chamber/neck problem which I kinda proved with the marker on the shoulder and it removing the marker when chambered. stupid gun

.54 cents from CMP with shipping compared to .73 to the price above. I'd wait the week and order from the CMP if it were me. And I'd order like 4 or 5 tins from the CMP and then start to reload

wojo if they try and stick it to you even with turning in the plates and waiting the 7 days. You could always "sell" the motorcycle to your wife, and then "buy" the motorcycle back from your wife, you would have to pay for a new title, but at least your not getting hoses for several hundreds of dollars in registration fees. Just another idea to beat the stupid system.

The gun has already received a hot water bath followed up with a 12 gauge bore brush attached to a power drill to clean out the lugs and the throat, then I hit it with a 20 ga bore brush on the drill to get the chamber and the shoulder and finally I followed that up with a .357 bore brush on the drive to get the very beginning of the rifling as well as part of the shoulder as well. My only other option would be to plug the barrel, dump boiling water in again, let that sit for a minute, then unplug the barrel and try and clean it again but I really doubt I have that much crud in there preventing me from chambering a round. I've looked into the chamber a million times with a very bright light, and its spotless to my eye. If it was dirty I would see chunks of crud to keep it from chambering. My honest opinion is it's a short chamber and needs to be slightly reamed out but sort of the reason why I want to take it to a gunsmith b/c he will be sure and know the plan of attack I'm new to this and im guessing. And it's also not the ammo b/c I've tried to chamber old milsurp, new production stuff, and I also tried to chamber a newly resized case straight from my press with no bullet in it and it wouldn't chamber without the extreme effort it is definitely NOT the ammo M

Very minimal If you put a magic marker on the shoulder of the case, and then chamber the round, you can see rub marks but it doesn't remove the marker completely so we are talking about very little. If I take a prvi 7.62x54r round, the first time i chamber it, I have to really push down hard on the bolt handle, and then after that its almost effortless to close the bolt. So that's how little we are talking about. The gun head spaces perfectly fine so I just need to remove a little from that shoulder area and I should be good to go.

ahh i was looking under .30 cal Wonder if I can find a gunsmith who would do this

damnn even still thats a big chunk of change. I would like to see that kowa up against one of these others and for you to put out a review. That would be quite helpful for us other guys

Hey Teddy thanks for the link, I found that website last night too except they don't have 7.62x54r reamers. I can get a brand new reamer from brownell's for a 100 bucks which I wouldn't mind have I just don't think this is something I should try and tackle myself

I need to find a competent gunsmith that will work on milsurp rifles. I believe I need to get my chamber on my M28/76 slightly reamed out and this is beyond my ability and I also don't feel like spending 100 bucks on a reamer. If anyone knows of a gunsmith who will work on 7.62x54r please let me know. Thanks M

LOLZ of course only COTEP member. Funny thing is, I still havn't mailed in for my COTEP card, im such a poser wesson owner lol

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my lord lol I can see why you wouldn't want to knock or get the kowa wet wow just wow someday ill have toys like that, i guess i better start working harder

just for a laugh, what does a kowa spotting scope like you use for 1000 yards go for these days, just curious? M

Shane how do you feel about this Konus scope http://www.dvor.com/konus-konuspot-20-60x100-spotting-scope-7122-100mm-angled-scope.html M
