You are absolutely right that is not a Universal Carbine. I own one and will gladly trade you for that Underwood. Interested??? Huh? Uh, I'm guessing no. Congratulations on a great find.

Am I reading this right? This store owner does not want to sell guns to Liberals? Wouldn't that be something we can all benefit from?

As far as panic buying, nope. Watchful waiting, yes. Will Obama be a different man now that the election results show our Nation to be divided and the problems of the world did not go away with his reelection? Watch for some change and hope it will be constructive. Pray for the best, plan for...

Thanks for the word. Will use the "floating" reamer to be safe. Also thanks to the moderators for moving my thread. Sorry for the misplacement.

I will be hand reaming a 7x57mm Mauser Adams & Bennet barrel from MidwayUSA.

Thanks creeper. Will give him a call.

I will be buying a short reamed barrel from Midway USA for a sporterizing project and have found that two types of reamers are available for rent. The solid pilot and the floating pilot. Is there a great deal of difference when the amount of reaming will be only .05 inches of material? Any...

I have had some luck recently with http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/Main.aspx. They often have promotions involving free shipping for members on orders over acertain amount. Usually $99 to $125. They carry Prvi Partisan ammo which I have used and found to be OK. A little dirtier than I would...

Greetings, joined recently to learn and share when I can. Living in Southern California and enjoying the warmth and sunshine, the excessive gun laws not so much, and just starting to turn my shooting pastime into a serious hobby. Looking forward to the sharing of info and the occasional corny joke.

I tried the receiver cover type first, it was a bargain brand from Sportsmans Guide that took a lot of filing to fit my Chinese SKS. It kept shifting point of impact of the rounds several inches to the right at 25 yards. In other words it was not very tight. I then bought the Choate, drilled and...

In answer to Vaarok, I do not consider it "idiotic" to dispose of a rifle that may be a safety hazard. As to parting out this Mauser 98 I could remove the bolt, floor plate assembly, rear sight and the already trimmed down stock. This would leave a barrel and action for the turn in. Is that what...

If there are so many "restrictions" won't a home made shotgun be in violation of the local laws? Please research this carefully before proceeding.

Thanks for the info. Sorry for the late response, dealing with other issues. As to checking the lug set back, not sure I follow your description dirtyjim? As I have no precision gear for the measurements you described I will probably have to ask my local gunsmith for help either way. If I...

Your right, should have waited. However it is a lesson learned so not a total loss. Wish my gunsmith had a $25 bench fee and no 6 month turnaround. Oh well. Still have my 24/47 to send 8mm down range when I have the chance.

Thanks, I will be visiting a local smith soon. Just don't relish laying out $75 to be told it is beyond salvage.

I recently bought a 1917 Spandau 98 mauser for a low price. The action jams after each round fired. I have read online that this is probably lug set back. If this is the case is it conceivable to salvage this weapon? Do I need to pull off the barrel and measure the lugs? Where would I be...

Hello Collector0311, I bought a Red X 300 Black Out upper and it is a good fit to my Anderson Mfg lower and Aero Precision Lower, but tighter on the Aero. I feel a tight fit is better than a looser one and should wear in over time. Resist the urge to start sanding on mating surfaces. As to...

I have cut down a shotgun barrel using the following items: Masking tape to protect the portion you want to keep, hacksaw, dremel tools can be used if you take your time and don't super heat the barrel. To finish sand paper on a sanding block to square the end, then inside and outside of a...

Yes, I was interested in the barrels from troupsystems, but not now. I appreciate the warning that the vendor is not reliable. I was going to use go/no-go gauges whichever barrel I chose. So now it is down to Begara or Midwayusa for my barrel source. Thanks for the responses gentlemen.

Even though I would normally recommend a shotgun it sounds as if you are interested in something very light weight and relatively inexpensive to shoot. Have you looked a the Kel-Tec SU16? I have been looking to find a good used one myself. Pluses 1) Foldable, to conceal in a small back...
