Interestingly there is something broken off here but it doesn't match the piece that fell out the gun. :uhoh: I got this gun when Obama was elected and everyone was panic buying .22 ammo for the first time. I traded two $16 boxes of ammo for this shotgun. It is really beat up but it became my...

Any idea what this goes to? I'd like to get the replacement part on order before I tear the gun down and risk losing something.

I've weighed about 100 right now and my upper and lower limits are between 61.90 and 63.10 - Not too bad. You guys are correct in that I am getting what I paid for. This company had a sale on these "factory new" projectiles and sold out pretty much instantly. I saw the deal on slickguns. I...

Well some projectiles were meant for the scrap bin. Some have cannelures, some don't. Some have crimped boat tails, others have boat tails that fan out. :uhoh: You do make an important point, though. All that really matters is the diameter and roundness which is likely fairly standard across...

I ordered some "new" projectiles recently only to find that the seller was selling what they described as "sweep bin" bullets - bullets that fell on the production factory floor and could not be used in their sellable product. There are a lot of projectiles that look questionable. I want to...

The rear sight was removed by the previous owner. I'm trying to get info on removing the rear sight base. I did find that the dimple I was referring to earlier supposedly holds the spring in place.

That is likely all the guidance I will need. Thanks! I keep adopting other people's gun projects - I need to start charging $ or something. But then I wouldn't get to play with everyone else's firearms.. :cool: Basically the guy acquired the rifle already sporterized. Barrel lopped off...

I can't find any resources on how one would go about removing the rear sight base from a K31. There is no screw head visible at all. There is a dimple that looks like it could have been a screw at some point but there is no screw head. It is just an exposed (tapered) through-hole in the bottom...

It's definitely the 68 grain projectiles. Loaded up 5 rounds with 24.5gn varget under 68gr HPBT. 4 grouped a tad over 1.5". The fifth was a flyer - If you count the fifth you get 3.7" at 100m. Next group was 5 shots 55gn Sierra BK. .66" at 109yd. :D I started out with heavier projectiles...

I'm going to do a little more testing out to 200m with these projectiles. Hopefully whatever projectile I find shoots well in the 18" AR will also do well in the 20" bolt gun. I would really like to standardize on something. Primers are flattened slightly with the 24.5gn load. Going to try...

I then made up 4 with 24.5 gn varget. Velocities: 2716 2725 2753 2731 Interestingly the group could have been better.. all four shots were made in under a minute. That black border on the red dot was wreaking havoc on my eyes.

I have easy access to a 50m range so I did some testing earlier this evening. I had 30 rounds made up with 23.0gn varget with COAL just short enough to make it into the magazine. I ran six back through the bullet seater and seated them to 2.250" just to see. At 50m: Velocities: 2473...

Would the regular 69gr MKs or 69gr tipped MKs be more stable?

I just realized the smallest and largest group I have ever shot was with 23.0gn varget under 68gn hornady HPBT. .36" and 6".. :)

It is crazy that I shot the smallest group I have ever shot (by far) with the same bullets but from a different gun. The rifle that shoots this load well is a bolt gun with 2 more inches of barrel (20") at the same twist rate (1:9). Going to pick up some 69gr matchkings as well as trying a...
