Does anyone have headspace gauges that I could borrow?

7.62 by what, if it is 39 i called all over this state without success but i did find a tool and die co that would make them at the tune of 135.00

 

i used a spent case to check mine.

Try Brownells if you are looking to buy one.

7.62x54R

 

for Mosin M44, new to me today. Pics to follow. Stock is really rough and is not laminated.

 

And for the record, Cosmoline is a B-eye-tee-cee-H.

I have two recent mosins, both octogon reciever. one is still in the cosmo. is it matching #s gun?

if so odds are you will be ok with bolt fit.

wait until you shoot it it kick's like a mule. I just purchased butt pad for it made specifcally for mosin rifle. It is a blast too shoot best part is it is cheap ammo..also corrosive so make sure you clean after every outing.

Re: Numbers

It may have been forcematched. Not sure. It's been renumbered - I think, though it's numbered with the Cyrillic ZH before the number. Barrel, Bolt, and Butt Cap all match

 

Where did you get the butt pad Tony?

here you go, http://www.tickbitesupply.com/

 

here is the co i found the headspace gauge at.http://www.mansonreamers.com/

 

theres two great sites have fun and do not spend too much money.. :mrgreen:

Manson is sold through Brownells along with Forrester and Clymers.

I have a set of coin type gauges made by Okie Headspace Gauges that I'll gladly make available to you. I just got them this week and used them to check out a Finnish Mosin (M-39) that I picked up recently. The nice thing about them is that you don't need to disassemble the bolt and remove the firing pin and extractor like you do for some of the other types.

 

Let me know if you still need them and we can make arrangements.
