    CVA Traditions Kentucky Rifle / Jukar Spain questions

    Purchased what I believe is a 45 cal CVA Traditions Kentucky rifle, price was too low to pass up. It appears to be built from a kit, the assembly seems to be pretty good at least as good as I could have done. And it appears unfired. I checked to make sure it was not loaded, then I fired just...

    Leftover washer Win 94 Ranger

    I need some help finding a home for a leftover washer. I finished a take-down and clean on my late father-in-law's Winchester 94 Ranger (5622xxx). Everything went well except for the leftover washer (?) It is a lock washer; it has 3 or 4 "dimples" on the flat surface. It was stuck in the...

    What rifle would be used by WWII soldier European theater?

    My dad was in the 83rd Thunderbolt Division, I think company C but am not sure. He served in France and Belgium from Oct 1944 until after the war's end. He was an infantry soldier, so I believe he would have carried an M1 Garand, Winchester or Springfield Armory. Does this sound right? Was there...

    Ruger P89DC loads first round with mag insertion

    I have a P89DC that has a new "feature". If I insert a magazine HARD while the action is locked open, the action will close and chamber the first round. It only happens when I insert the mag hard, and it just started doing this. I've had this weapon for probably 10 years and have run thousands...

    Winchester Super X: What????

    Okay, so I bought a box of Winchester Super X in .308 to try out a new-to-me rifle this weekend. I have worked up a few loads with some range pickups, but for the first rounds I wanted no surprises so I decided to buy factory ammo and was hoping to re-use the brass. But look, what's the deal...

    I'm loading for 7mm-08 using Winchester cases (2.025 trim length, 2.755 COL), WLR primers, IMR4350, and Hornady 139gr SST. This is the first time I've worked up this caliber. I started at the low end with Hornady's load data: 39.5gr then 41.3gr then 43.0gr, and by the time I got to 43.0 the...
