Bubba just cause it has the AA stock, and basic scope and bipod? ;-)

Not a bad idea... id hate to destroy this ammo. May try that after I hunt down som better rounds

Indeed - headspace is a go. Firing pin is adjusted.

Shoot me some pics -- I'll DM you my email.

Man that would be awesome -- if I could hit the Milltown range with you, let you try some of this ammo, that would be awesome. Sucks as I have to drive about an hour to just pull the trigger and try it out! I'll message you w/ my cell phone

Been trying to find some. I work right by Effingers -- went there at lunch yesterday and they're out. They said they had hunting loads a week or two ago, but I'm not all about paying $25-30 a box! Going to try the Guild down on 22 during lunch today. Issue is I have a shitload of this ammo -- would love to see if it actually fires in someone's mosin that' is confirmed to be operational.

Now those look more reasonable .... I hope this is it, cause I really want to make sure it fires.

So, I've taken up some side projects -- namely refinishing stocks, forearms and rifles. I'm not an expert, but I'm actually enjoying bringing these things back to life. Yes, it does affect the history or value of the guns, but the folks who want this done are all about making it look better. Here are two that I just finished for someone -- One's an old Rolling Block: And a Japanese Arisaka Type 99 (this was in BAD SHAPE!) If yall have wood that you'd like to have refinished, let me know. I work for cash or ammo. The going rate that folks have been paying is $50 for a shotgun, and then $75-$100 for a rifle (depends on how bad the rifle is) Thanks, Kyle

Hey all, So, I acquired a Mosin 91/30 with an Archangel stock, but have had light primer strikes. Here's the rifle - A little background. Bolt has been refurbished with new bent handle from Max Shepherd. Really good work by the way. Also, I did get a new firing pin spring and have checked the firing pin depth / protrusion using the "tool". WTF!? It's not like it's once in a while. The thing has never went boom. Since all is kosher with the bolt, spring is new, and the depth is good to go, my thoughts went to the ammo. I got some spam cans and in paying closer attention to the primers, I noticed that they're set REALLY deep. Is this usually the case with 7.62x54r? Here's some shots of the primers - If it's too deep for the pin to strike with enough force, that could be the issue, right? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

It's a major award!

not too bad ....

Here's the final product after cerakote and some color fill -- amazing. Can't believe it's the same popper!

Do you sand in the tru oil in a circular motion? Saw a Youtube video from a stock maker that did that. The final coat of wax has my iffy, especially with the checkering. Do you apply over that? I also am concerned with not being able to knock down the gloss in the checkering if I tried that

Hmmmmmmmmm..... will work for food and ammo, lol

I didnt use filler --- someone told me it could have mixed results. I used 0000 wool to buff inbetween oil coats. At first I was applying WAY too much with my fingers. I moved to a cloth and it was PERFECT. Wish I did that from the start, hahaha. The sanding was a lot of fun -- seeing the real grain come through was really cool.

Thanks, appreciate it! Was rather therapeutic and relaxing to be honest! Nice little hobby -- may offer to do others'!

So, the moral of this story is -- if you walk into SARCO in Easton, PA, be prepared to spend $! Love that store, and always go in whenever I can. Last time was to drop off a used Mosin I acquired for the smith to take a look at, but when I looked at their used long guns, I came across a great looking Beretta semi auto 12g, the A302. The stock was REALLY beat up with deep cuts and nicks ... but for $200 I jumped on it. Now, I have NEVER refinished any stocks before, so I was going into this project knowing it was a gamble, but after talking with some media / journalist friends of mine in the firearms world, I got some solid pointers -- hell if I screwed it up, I'd just hunt around for a set online. Well, for my first go at this ever, I have to say I'm quite pleased -- cannot believe it's the same wood. Even some guys I was with at SARCO that day were floored by the way it came out. Is it perfect, no not at all -- I think I over applied some of the Tru Oil in the checkering and there are some nicks I couldnt steam out or sand out. Also a spot where some of the oil accumulated too much, but again, it's lightyears from where it was. Thanks!

Thanks guys -- sorry, been inactive as I've been refinishing a used shotgun stock and forearm that I bought. Laser engraving was done by a shop out in San Diego -- C4 Precision Engraving. Here's a shot of the actual engraving that I have on my Instagram page: https://instagram.com/p/4CtWUhJHmH/?taken-by=thepatriotmilitia

Want to fix a handle on a 91/30 I just bought. Thanks!

you seriously made me nearly vomit lol ... I'm eager to see how the brake works. It's a dynamic resistance brake. and the cerakote should definitely improve accuracy, hands down HA!

Almost got me there!

Thanks man, appreciate it. And Yea, I'm not too concerned about it not firing.

Got a PSA ghost lower engraved as the final touch on the most recent build. Now to the range to test fire

Figured this may be a shirt yall find funny -- www.represent.com/dirtymags Admins - apologies if this isnt the place to post it!

Sweet - od green is what Im doing my next build in. This is beautiful
