Just bought a new rollmark Series 70 Colt 1911, specifically for the purpose of building a full house custom. But once I received it, stripped it down and took a really close look, I was blown away by its quality, fit and finish. Even the trigger pull is first rate. Now I'm radically...

The only place I saw it recommended was in an Army Marksmanship Training Unit manual for shooting the 1911 match gun in competition. The shooter was supposed to maintain complete control of the gun with his firing grip. From slide lock and a fresh magazine inserted, he was to press the trigger...

The quality of the build is first rate. Even the butt plate is hand forged and checkered. VERY accurate due to the Douglas XX barrel and glass bedded action.

I bought this online several years ago and almost immediately sold it to a close friend. Well, I just got it back today and I'm very happy I did. Don't know the name of the gunsmith or when it was built.

I've been a FAL fan for many, many years - ever since owning a commercial G series FN FAL imported by Browning before 1968. I've sold them all now except for two: a DSA Congo Para (pic 1 below) and a DSA stainless SA 58 that has been a project gun for many years (pics 2-4 below)...

One of my favorite calibers I've shot, reloaded for and owned 6.5X55mm rifles for over 50 years, starting with a Swedish Cavalry Carbine that my Grandfather customized into one sweet hunting rifle, to one I just finished a while back that was a full custom Mauser: Schneider barrel, McMillan...

Yup, it's a fixed 2.5X. I'm considering upgrading to the fixed 3X long body available from the Leupold Custom Shop. $400 buys one heck of a nice piece of glass. Keith

My memory is failing me as I get older. I think Leupold called it a number 6 years ago, but on their websight it now is called the Number 1 reticle and looks like this: Keith

While my competition rifles are pretty cutting edge, my hunting rifles follow a much, much more traditional theme. First, my two primary hunting rifles are both 30'06. Second, they are both Mausers: one a 1909 Argentine and one a post-WWI DWM. The Argy is a full custom: Schneider barrel...

I'm thinking of it as a traditional approach to a Remington Long Range, or a modern version of a British Express rifle. Same place in space from different directions. Keith

I'm modifying the rifle rather than building a new one. I'll sell the existing 9.3x62mm barrel to help defray some of the cost of the build. Everything else such as scope I have. The 3.5-10X40 scope has a Boone and Crockett reticle that is designed for 200/300/400/450/500 yards, but can be...

I have a custom 1909 Argentine Mauser heavy game rifle in 9.3X62mm that I no longer need. But selling such a beast is at best a losing proposition. Simply put, I'd loose my shirt. So I've decided to take a different approach and instead build a long range 30'06 on the platform. The...

You mean like this one? 1909 Argentine Mauser customized by New England Custom Guns. Schneider barrel, Serengeti chamber, Rechnagel trigger and Model 70 safety, Fisher bottom metal, McMillan light weight Kevlar/Graphite/Fiberglass stock. Scary accurate.

How about 260? Doesn't kick the snot out of you like a featherweight 308 will, shoots flatter than a 308 and is renowned for its accuracy. McMillan has a line of lightweight stocks made with carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass. Light but very strong. Since the cartridges you are interested...

FN FAL Para My favorite by far is my DSA built Congo Para, 18" barrel, steel lower, very small package, accurate and very easy to shoot. What it does at 300 yards from a standing rest position. Keith

Yes, have a qualified gunsmith check it out for any safety issues. Make sure he checks headspace as well. Keith

The 19.5 refers I believe to British Long Tons of pressure per square inch. That equates to 43680 pounds per square inch of pressure according to http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/long-tons-to-pounds.htm. However, that seems very low for a 7mm Remington Magnum which normally operates in...

Recently bought a used Remington 40XB KS in 7.62 NATO. Built in 1991, the owner shot it a total of 604 rounds before putting it away in his safe for almost 25 years before selling it to me a few months ago. While he shot only reloads, I'm shooting only match ball. So far I've tried Federal...

You are missing nothing Cone into cone is by very nature very precise; however, the machining necessary to get a perfect fit is non-trivial. I believe, but certainly can't prove, that Mausingfield's toroidal locking lugs are something of a gimmick. A carefully fit bolt body is I think a...

You're on the wrong track The flat and checkered bolt knob is one of the signature features of the Zastava commercial mauser. There is not a military part in that gun. Pure commercial all the way. Regarding the Bell and Carlson stock in the picture above. The barreled action and bottom...
