I own one. Haven't had an opportunity to shoot it yet, but so far it seems like it would be a fun piece. The trigger mechanism, as I understand, is somewhat complex in it's operation and makes smoothing it out difficult. It's a heavy gun for being a pistol caliber carbine but I find it...

Funny you should mention copper solvent...that's what I've been trying to push down the barrel with the jag and patch. A 30 cal bore brush is snug but fits completely down the barrel, but there may be some serious fouling as you said, rcmodel. Thanks fellas! Hopefully I get some bench time...

That was my first thought and led me to cut the patch down to approx. 1" x 1". I got a little further down the barrel but it still jams eventually.

Forgive me for this seemingly newbish question, but this one has me scratching my head. Traditionally, I've cleaned with patches pushed through the "loop style" tip at the end of the rod. I recently purchased a jag tip and loaded with a thin, small patch I find it impossible to get the jag all...

MotorOil makes a good point. Anything that helps keep you hidden from game is a good thing. But generally from an aesthetics point of view, I like the look of a glossy finish scope on glossy finished rifles and matte finish scopes on rifles with matte finishes.

I don't think the smoke can be any worse than the cleaning fluids! :D Years of exposure to Hoppes No.9 or something similar will probably mess you up worse. :D

Can't go wrong with a No.4 Mk.1 Enfield either.

Hey, it's good to find a fellow Long Islander on here! I heard a story once that a guy brought what he thought was an empty propane tank to Calverton. Took one shot and KaBOOM! I believe they started cracking down on shooting at junk shortly thereafter.

When I restored my No. 4, I used Numrich for the majority of the parts I needed. http://www.e-gunparts.com/

As others have previously mentioned, I've heard the 30-06 hits a bit harder at longer distances. I think with a well placed shot, an elk wouldn't know the difference.

Nice test! Looks like I better stock up on CLP or some of that Swiss grease. :D

Here is my 1943 Maltby built, Fazackerly (1947) FTR'd No.4. I restored it to it's military configuration, as it was sporterized at some point after it's military service. I also added an ATI weaver rail and a cheap Tasco 3x9 as my eyes don't do the iron sights justice.

Why bother re-inventing the wheel when someone has already done it for you? The R&D dollars China saved by going with an already proven design will most likely be spent on some other needed equipment or used to line the pockets of certain gov't employees. :D

Good to know. Many thanks!

Thanks everyone. I'll give them a call to check up on it. adkpete, 10 months! Wow, I guess I won't hold my breath. BATF came to pay you a visit as well? I heard it's possible, but not extremely likely.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to get an idea if I've been waiting too long for my C&R license to show up. I mailed the forms to the ATF back on April 7, 2008. About a week later, my credit card was charged the $30 fee as I requested on the form. Tomorrow will be 4 months to the day since mailing...

Listen to and follow the orders of the range officers. It's their world, you're just living in it. It's the best way I've found to keep them and those around you happy and safe.

No worries here. I buy what I like and don't get caught up the "politics" of it.

Not bad! Although I think the high cap mag (as compared to a standard 760/7600 magazine) still gives off a bit of EBR vibe. Maybe go to a 5 round AR magazine to give a more sedate look.

Thanks everyone. I'll reserve the Jig A Loo for my squeaky door hinges.
