Bore sighting...
Thnx guys..
Yes Brian....that is the rifle, and I have read reviews of people firing off .308 core loct by the hundreds without problem...
I haven't had a chance to take the thing out to a range ( few and far between around here ) but the chamber accepts .308 ammuntion...
Bolt action storage
I've got room in my gun cabinet...so I store my bolt action cannon in a soft carrying case...with the action partially open and a cable lock through it...the safety on keeps the bolt from moving....also muzzle up...why would you store it with the muzzle down ?
Bren Gun
Yep...the sights were off to the side...left as you're looking downrange as I remember....and the empty cartridges discharged by gravity....they just fell out....god knows what would happen if you tried to shoot one upside down....
henry 22
Hi Digger
Just bought a Henry 22 lever action....had it shipped to New Brunswick , Canada from Alberta...Had it for five minutes and had to send it back...it had a severe gash on the butt stock....While I had it seemed like a fine firearm. For what I will use a 22 for it seems just...
Got a question concerning a new rifle I have ,,,chambered in 7.62 NATO which I just had a scope put on...
In order to bore sight it the fellow at the shop couldn't fit his normal 30 caliber bore sighting tool into the barrel....nor some laser gizmo sighting apparatus....
The guy asked if I was...
Question on the cost of rifle scopes....I am planning on getting a scope for a .308, which will be used for hunting in a heavily forested area....unlikely shooting over 200 yards....Also I am going to scope .22 plinking and small game rifle....For a reasonable quality scope I was thinking...
.308 vs NATO 7.62
There are two concerns regarding the interchangeability of .308 and Nato 7.62 ammunition.....pressure and head spacing....
.308 CAN be higher pressure then recommended for NATO 7.62 military rifles...the main problem is with auto feeders, the overpressure could bend the push...
Hi folks....
I just bought a 22 henry lever action in 22 LR for plinking and small game ...mostly rabbit.....for a bunny hunting gun would I have been better off getting it in 22 WMR ?.....Right now I have hollow point 38 grain high velocity ammo for it ....
Hi folks....I just bought a Henry lever action 22...had the thing for five minutes and it had a severe gash on the butt stock ...so I had to send it back for replacement....Damm....Anyway...does anyone know how you would use a cable lock on this rifle ?....I couldn't see right away how you would...
Hiya Smokehouse69....Thnx for the info....I am aware of headspace and pressure concerns in firing commercial .308 in a NATO 7.62 chambered firearm.
The action in this rifle is beefed up considerably...1 1/2 times SMLE original specifically to handle the higher pressures of .308 . I was a...
Hey scout....it must be my wierd sense of humour...but I liked that joke...."we'd have a better chance if you hadn't gutted him first"....I live in hillbilly country and the people around here would probably say...so...what's wrong with THAT ?.....
Hi Reb....re the barrel markings and country of origin...I'll repost this info from a previous post...
The CO stamped on the receiver is "Australian International Arms, Brisbane, Australia"...I understand the parts are sourced out of various countries...I think the teak comes from...
Hi AZ.....The sport version weighs about 8 1/2 lbs....it just seems deceptively heavy for the look of it because of the teak furniture....Haven't had a chance to shoot the thing yet....too bloody cold out....
As for why I spelled my name "Marintime"....it's because I didn't know how to spell...
Hi,,,maybe one of you guys can help me....I bought a fancy kinda leather sling for my rifle and can't figure out how to work it...
It's an all leather padded deal....I can get it attached to the swivels ok...but there are a couple of slotted leather pieces that are supposed to form a loop in...
Bad memory....
Thnx guys....I was going on memory for those guages and of course got them wrong....Saami Go for .308 is 1.630....Field reject is 1.638 and NO GO is whatever the guage manufacturer decides it is...some have 1.634 others 1.636
This thing is a bolt action ...so I'm not...
Sorry if this perennial problem bores you folks....but maybe someone can clear me up on this..
I have a rifle supposedly chambered for 7.62 NATO....and of course I want to shoot commercial .308 Winchester in it....
I had the head space checked with .308 SAAMI guages and the bolt closes on the...
Lee Enfield safety..
LOL...Don't go off half cocked as they say...
Yep....they sure won't do nothing if they are half cocked...
I have a new Lee-Enfield type action and I find it surprising that the safety will ONLY go to the "Safe" position when the rifle is fully cocked. Anyone know if...
