7.65X53, 7.65 Argentine is the original caliber your rifle was manufactured in. My bet is it was manufactured by Lowe in Germany. These are among the smoothest and most well made 98 pattern Mausers ever made. Keep it, shoot it, love it!

Interesting that you have run into that as well. I was selling a handgun and had three individuals try to buy without a P2P. I actually had a thread on here about it possibly being a sting. Please everyone follow the letter of the law.

Knowing both you guys and your work I just get to sit back and chuckle!

Two stage or single stage trigger? Looking at $150 minimum One last time in this public forum... Come fondle my stuff with various triggers. Find one you like and then I'll put a digital scale on it and you will be surprised what triggers really weigh out at. One last thing...If you ever intend to run around with this rifle that makes your trigger requirement different.

Off a bench and bags....I run 55 FMJBT onto 1 1/2" with a 20" barrel and irons or the same with 16" gun with optics.

If this is just a range gun, don't bother setting up for 62gr bullets (1:7 or 1:8 twist) 1:9 barrels/uppers are cheaper. M193 or 55gr bullets are cheaper. and for a range gun that's a consideration.

I'm looking for a excellent ballistic coefficient I can shoot out of an AR lower. Wind drift is not my friend. (read I can't read wind for shit) I'll be shooting 300 yd this maybe a little over kill but competitive. And you were correct 6mm WOA (6.8 SPC necked down)

6mm Hagar, anybody have one? Does anybody want to sell one? I may be going that way...

I guess this would count as forgetting something. I have two ARs that look the same, almost identical 20" A3 rifles So I'm passing the state 22lr only range and figure I shoot for 1/2 an hour. I load a 22lr mag and try to insert it into the rifle..,NG I packed the 5.56.

Chris, Go Dillon or go home! Bring some components and come and try my 550B

Thank you Nick! Correct a mundo!

I can't tell what the problem is with your HWH from the pic. If you are trying to save a few buck you have to work and get analytical. Remove all the covers and pin point the leak. If it is at one of the two heaters, you can give it a shot at heater element replacement. If it's any thing else you may have to bite the bullet at full replacement. If you are going new you're looking at a $400 doing it yourself. If you are going to use "Shark Bites" use as few as possible and use the flex line for the rest. Good luck BTW if you can detail strip your firearm I would guess with care you can change your HWH.

No Problem! Go pay those kind of prices for a little ambiance.

You make your argument in such a credible fashion!

butcher!

Says your home range is CR...I'm close by on the way. Swing by and I'll lend you a tool. FS

TTT Comment on my solution

Cut the bottom of some of the threads off an feed it in from the bottom.

All so true... Now the design has been changed from two pin to 3 pin as well. How does this affect the crack situation? An additional question is,,,Based on GLOCK's warrantee policy will they replace a cracked frame? I think they might even well past the original purchaser.

I like this a bunch! Rock steady and adjusts for horizontal easily. http://www.sinclairintl.com/shooting-rests-bipods/bipods/monopods/bipods-adapters/sinclair-tactical-bipod-prod35272.aspx

I use an OHAUS bur the one Jon has seems like the cats ass especially with the drop tube for stuff like big stick Varget

As you know, ballistic coefficient and sectional density are your friends. If you are willing to give up velocity you may think about working with 180gr BTHP if you can find them. Believe it or not the best ballistic coefficients are not found in 30 cal.

Vlad, I love shooting 300 and the biggest issue I have at 300 is reading wind. Your 308 will be a little better than my 69gr bullets in the wind for sure. I test my loads at 100 before I go to 300 to minimize the amount of time the wind effects the bullet. And correct there is a 200yd difference between 100 and 300. Much longer time the cross wind has to screw you up.

Chris - If I could do that with irons I'd be in the Olympics. Anyway Loonhead shot that with my rifle. The rifle has a 6X18 Sightron on it. BTW - This rifle may be going up for sale and I may be upgrading.
