    Did I just ruin my mosin nagant bolt???

    So I was cleaning my mosin nagant... used boiling water to run through the barrel and onto the bolt. After running the patches through the barrel, I realized that the bolt was still wet. Me being lazy, I decided to do something I now regret. I had the oven on at 300 deg F because I was drying...

    My mosin rusted...

    So last weekend (june 9) I went and shot my mosin nagant. I put only about 10 rounds through it. I took it home, put windex through it, dried the barrel. Ran Hoppes through on patches many times. Ran dry patches through. Ran oily patches through to finish up. I look at the bore today and...

    marlin 795 short stroking

    Im 19, so I haven't had this rifle for more than 9 years and I would estimate the amt of ammo I put through this rifle to be only about 800-1200, so I doubt that it's wear on the hammer or sear. 115grfmj, I think that might be getting somewhere..... tomorrow when I get a chance to strip the...

    Should I use a cartridge laser bore sighter?

    Now I know that this doesn't replace sighting in with live rounds, but should I pay the 11$ for this little gadget on amazon? Do they actually work well? I just recently finished an AR15 build and have yet to take it to the range... It seems as if the laser device could alleviate some...

    marlin 795 short stroking

    when i disassemble the rifle and cock the hammer, I can clearly see the sear engaging the hammer... however when I cock the hammer, It does seem to have more tension when the hammer gets closer to engaging the sear.... so maybe I could be fixed with adjustments the the hammer spring

    68WJ, what exactly do you mean by "ensure the bolt comes back far enough before bottoming out" Thanks.

    Ar-15 buffer retainer pin problems

    Ok so at this point I agree with NY and Friendly... Before I tightened the castle nut on the receiver extension, there was a good amount of play between the lower and buffer tube when I had it screwed into its current position(not sure if this is normal). As I have already spent 4 figures on...

    marlin 795 short stroking

    I forgot to add this, but It could be the reason for this malfunction. I received this rifle when I was pretty young (like 10-12) and I read through the manual thoroughly before operating it, but the manual never discouraged dry firing, so naturally I assumed it was safe to do. Not until about...

    marlin 795 short stroking

    Ok so ive been having a bit of trouble with my marlin 795 semi-auto carbine. For about 50-30% of the time i fire the rifle with a variety of ammunition (cci, federal, remington, blazer, etc) the rifle will fire, eject the casing, chamber a new round from a magazine, but without cocking the...

    Ar-15 buffer retainer pin problems

    Ok thank you all for the quick responses. First of all I bought the buffer tube (have no idea who the manu. was) at a gun show on a whim and in retrospect, I realize that I should have done a little research, as this tube is slightly out of spec. I did think about purchasing a new buffer tube...

    Ar-15 buffer retainer pin problems

    OK so to finish my first AR build, I removed an A2 stock from a RRA lower receiver and replaced it with a mil spec buffer tube with a magpul CTR stock on it. When I screwed the buffer tube on to cover up the buffer retainer pin, the tube would only cover a small portion of the detent spring...
