https://m.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Allied-Forces-D-Day-Invasion-Combat-Knife-without-Scabbard/111273265469 Never heard of these. Were these ever real? Anyone have a reproduction or original that fits a Lebel M1886 or a Berthier Rifle?

Toying around with old parts I had lying about, I found that a Swedish Mauser sight hood fits snugly and handsomely on this old ex-police rifle I picked up from Kentucky. The stock was painted red, and was missing an extractor and ejector (which I installed.) I don't quite like peep sights it...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! As to the pressure, I have had some luck making a down-graded load for 8mm Mauser that should feasibly apply well to .308, in theory. Has anyone had experience using anything by Troupe systems / Rhineland Arms? I'm thinking that taking a .308 or .35 Remington...

Hello, all. Last year as a reward to myself for a successful fire season, I scooped up a sporterized 1888 Commission Rifle that had been re-barreled to 7.62x39mm. Sweet! A project scout rifle. Unfortunately, the head spacing was pretty off, and the bore slugged out to around .297 or so. Oh well...

I've heard poor reviews from Gad, not to mention most of those are heel based. I have recently found some 9mm hollow base bullet-shaped air gun pellets I might try, but am still open to suggestions.

My new project involves fitting conversion parts to an 1851 Pietta Colt Navy in .36 bore. Currently, the only other revolver I have is an H&R .38 S&W Victor, and I would like to have the ability to share ammo between the two even if it means reaming the 1851 chambers to avoid any mix-ups at the...

Thanks for the input, gents! I'm never left unsatisfied with y'alls feedback. What complications would I have with reloading .38 S&W brass in .38 special dies?

According to my research, a .38 special wadcutter sitting flush in the case should be just as long as a .38 S&W cylinder, but have a little bit of play along the case walls. If it were a hollow base, it could, in theory, expand to grip the .38 S&W's .360 bore as well. Is there anything I'm...

Would there be any complications? I want to make a fun plinking load with some FFFg and I have a bunch of .45 Colt reloading equipment and a bolt-action Mossberg.

Thanks for the replies, friends. Removed from the receiver, the barrel assembly on mine measures out to 27.5 inches. A good 9 inches gone will make it quite handy.

I have an H&R Pardner SB1 12 gauge that I'd like to cut down. However, I don't want to make an SBS; I simply want to cut it down to the bare limit of 18 inches. The thing is, I'm not sure to include the chamber in the overall length of the barrel. It's quite the scattergun even without the...

I own an M57 Tokarev that I love to death. Fun to shoot, the recoil isn't too bad, and it breathes like a dragon. I would love one in a compact/commander form. I figure since the M88 evolved from the M70, which itself evolved from the M57, that I could take an M57 barrel to a gunsmith to be...

Well, anything that will get these puppies to reliably expand with accuracy using H1000. 2,400 FPS sounds about right for what I'm looking at. Am still considering returning the H1000 and just waiting for some faster stuff to be stocked up.

It looks like I will soon be able to add a Turk'd Berthier forestry carbine to the collection. Loved the look and story to these things, but I was wondering how the action would hold to relatively powerful loads. Got some 250 gr Woodleigh bullets and some slow powders on hand to work with...

http://www.reloadersnest.com/detail.asp?CaliberID=78&Powder=Hodgdon+H4831&LoadID=5696 This is the load I am considering trying. However, I filled up one of my cases with 50 grains of H4831SC, and it came very close to the shoulder and nearly filled it up. And that was still shy of the...

Thanks for the input, guys. I found a recipe from Reloadersnest.com that uses the same bullet and primer I have in 8mm Mauser. I'll go ahead and give it a shot; 1,998 ft-lbs doesn't sound like it would damage my 1888 Commission rifle (yes, it has an S bore).

I currently have received some H4831SC and H1000 powder, along with a case of 150 gr Sierra .323 spitzers. I was hoping for a bit less recoil with these lighter bullets, and unfortunately, these two powders were the only ones I could find locally. Does anyone have any advice for this...

I just got into reloading, and currently the only primers I have are large pistol primers (and some BP percussion caps). I was just wondering if I could use them in place of large rifle primers for my 8mm Mauser or my 6.5 Carcano. Noob-ish question, I know, but I was wondering if anyone had...

This was what I was thinking. Most cavalry carbines I've seen had bent bolts. And the Carcanos cavalrys I've seen had mostly bent bolts as well.

Picked one up recently. This is the half-stocked model with a folding bayonet. Most ones I've seen have a bent bolt handle, but this one's is straight. Is this correct?
