Those rounds are most likely Yugo . The cases are Berdan primed so just leave them alone. On top of it the primers are corrosive so not the best thing to take hunting. Powder in those is a flake type, quite hard to measure so it really is best to shoot them as they are.

if it's really bad, remove present finish with some acetone and apply boiled linseed oil . The collectors don't mind this kind of refinishing as much as sanding and varnishing. The Norinco is not C&R so it's a little harder to sell by mail. At $100 you did very well.

for a shooter, your best bet would be #4 MK2 . Those have nice , elevation adjustable peep sight where MK 1 only has a flip sight

I stand corrected.

Mini 30 was made to shoot 7.62x39 so it's bore is .311 diameter and not 308

Mosins can be picky about ammo. I had a 91/30 that wouldn't really group at 50 yards with HB ammo but than it made nice touching groups with LB. M44 due to the bayonet attached is a little weird to shoot. I sold mine and got some 91/59's and M38. Love those. Aiming at 4 inch target, I printed...

I heard a lot of good about them and was actually going to get one of those but than got a deal on a Winchester . There is a lot of info on Youtube.com , very entertaining too.

I may be wrong, but I've heard that they are allowed only one automatic gun and no restrictions on other small arms.

I don't own any Remington, but when I had a problem with my Savage, the company took care of it quickly and I had my rifle back home within 3 weeks from the time I sent it. I have a non heavy barrel model in 223 that is an absolute tack driver with handloads and factory stock.

Throw that action away, get a $70 91/30, $100 for 440 rounds of surplus ammo. Or just start reloading 54R, there are plenty of .310 bullets from 125 to 200 grain and brass is pretty easy to obtain too. Making a custom gun on MN action would be not economically wise . Keep in mind , there...

I've shot SMK 69 in my Savage 1 in 9 with great results. Better than 55 or 62. Lately I've tried Hornady 68 grain that are actually longer than the 69 SMK and got even better groups. The Hornady 68 are as long as some 75 grain projectiles so I suppose those would do just as well. I've noticed...

Lever 22's with tube magazines don't mind the shorts. That's because while feeding ,the cartridge is being grabbed by the rim and than pushed into the chamber. You can feed one at a time into a bolt rifle but I wouldn't count on reliable feeding from stacked 22 lr magazine.

Somewhat true. I agree that for blasting ammo reloading is a waste of time. But if you are looking for quality ammo than you need to compare that cost of reloading to cost of premium ammo that can be $1 per shot or more. I keep some Wolf around in case I need to sight a new scope or if I want...

I have used one as a scout scope on a Mosin Nagant and had no problems with it at all.

I was not impressed by out of the box accuracy of 10/22 so I got rid of it. Looks like you got what you paid for... If you want to shoot standing, it helps if you lower the weapon after each shot and raise it back to aim and fire another shot. If you just hold it and keep shooting , your left...

I will own only as many as I can safely store out of the reach of my kid. Just started filling second gun cabinet.

If you are using copper solvent and bronze brush than some of the dirt comes from the brush being melted by your solvent. If you want to cut down on the amount of patches, make sure that after a wet patch you wait 10 minutes or so to allow the solvent do it's work and than run a dry one. The...

I would look at the barrel right past the chamber. Usually if it's fired, the rifling will not be as sharp there as the rest of the bore.

Had a timing issue in a new 617 revolver . Same thing as above : shipping label to my door within a couple of days, gun back to my door within a couple of weeks. I've experienced same great customer service with Ruger. My 22/45 had feeding issues and they fixed it quickly. I believe I had to...

if you have the 8mm ammo and it chambers well, I would go with the tire test. Yugo Mausers were not historically converted to any other caliber like the German K98 was converted to 7.62 NATO. When I get a "new" surplus rifle I always do semi-tire test, I just point it down range and keep...
