For the longest time I have just been shooting the web-linked 6.5x55 from SAMCO, but have finally got into reloading. I made my first batch of Hornady 129 gr (meant for a 140gr, but misread the box) with 49 gr of RL 22 behind it. It fielded just fine, but I rather try and replicate what I...

Hello. I believe i've done one or two threads like this, but I hope this is the last one. The Situation: have a m96, 17 cartridges left, Samco is out of the web linked and I rather not get the corroded boxed ammo. The Problem: I really like old military rifles (from late 19th century to...

Can you get a lux with a threaded barrel from CZ? Will it still have iron sights? Theres a 452 LUX LH at my local gun store for a okay price, but having threads would be a nice feature. Thanks.

Can a POSP scope be removed from its slide mount and be put in a set or rings? Seeing how it looks welded on, im not so sure... However, Thanks for any responses.

Which would you pick? For me it works out like this: 8mm $.20 surplus generally cheaper more abundant 7mm $.15 surplus (won't last too much longer) generally a little more expensive often in better condition/ better accuracy So for me it seems to be pay more for more (7mm) (that is if you can...

I know the 98/29 is offered at SAMCO, but where would you find a m49 (the carbine)? Preferably not on GB or the like. In store or online. Thanks for any responses. Here is what they look like:

Out of curiosity I was looking at a 7mm Rolling Block. Seeing how Samco is selling 7mm for ~.16, could this mixed modern ammo be used in this old rifle. I know these rifles are notorious for elongated head space and should be checked for that, but is there any other problem? I've read reviews...

I was searching around and fount this in a old forum: From the thread I concluded that they were imported in very small quantities (if at all). Has anyone seen/used them firsthand? Anyone have more information on them? I known they shoot 9mm or 9x18 and why the barrel is positioned...

Out of interest I have been looking at surplus handguns and was intrigued by the Tokarev (semi) shooting 7.62x25 which was a very strong and cheap cartridge (~.10). Having a much deeper interest in revolvers, (despite my deficiency of having to use my left hand b/c of eye dominance) I was...

I tried searching, but with no results here is my question: I know the PSL POSP scope is offcentered. Accordingly is the m76 mounted to the left also? In the pictures I have seen, they look centered. Is this right? I know this is kinda a easy question, but I just want to be sure (looking...

I did a little searching and only found dead ends from around 2004. Do they still import these? I remember reading somewhere about legal trouble with Vietmanese parts or whatnot. Is this accurate? If they can be found stateside, please post links/ where you got the info. Thanks and Best...

What surplus scopes are there besides the PSO? By surplus I mean was: used by a military, decent quality, and is now being sold at a relatively low price. Reproductions can be included. Thanks for any responses. P.S. web links would be appreciated.

I only went once (almsot a year ago) and was wondering what its currently like. Any reviews or comments would be geat. Also if you got anything you can throw that in there. Thanks.

I was looking into "cheap" ways to scope a right handed bolt action rifle. The sidemount rail that a POSP uses seemed like it required minimal damage to the rifle and still provided a decent optic set up. However, I remember reading somewhere that the POSP scopes, when fitted, were skewed to the...

Another hypothetical post: I enjoy the look and feel of old military rifles and that is were the problem starts. I'm (hypothetically) looking for a intermediate caliber rifle that reaches to 500 yards accurately. This screams AR 15, but I really dislike the metal/polymer/whatnot look/feel of...

Just interested in finding/learning more about more rifles that have a magazine cut-off mechanism. So far I know of: US M1903 Irish RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary) (basically a 1895 enfield) Turkish Mauser <--- i think What else? Thanks for any responses.

I ordered 2x 250 round web-linked 6.5x55 ammo from Samco about a month ago. Having not recieved my ammo yet, I called them and asked about it. They responded by saying that they were sure they had it somewhere in their warehouse, but haven't found it yet. All problems with this company aside, it...

Evening, I'm interested in moving out to 200-300 yard shooting. At my local range they supplied spotting scopes for the 100 yard line, but I will need my own for any further distance. I am not interested in spending more than $350, but closer to ~$300 would be nicer. These are the ones I...

I currently have a Swedish m96 with a Soderin diopter and thoroughly enjoy it. However, i am just a kid without a job so I can't continue to afford 6.5x55 even though I'm using old milsurp. Accordingly I plan on selling my rifle locally. Here is what I am looking for in a new rifle...

I know they make the american and lux with left handed bolts, but do they make FS's lefty too? Thanks
