You can’t deny that guns today are lighter and very capable of whatever money can buy. I’m just a sucker for wood and steel. I’ve never met a trigger that couldn’t be polished to make it a little crisper if that is what you desire. Recoil and heavy triggers have never turned me away from a...

Did a .308 in a 7.5x55 Swiss. Shrapnel from the blown out primer came out of the back of the bolt. Casing got stuck and had to be tapped out.

Looks deep to me.

Depending on the year made and facility it was made at you might have a gem or a nightmare.Towards the end of the war ,the guns were made by prisoners and slave labor.Lots of imperfections were built in to the rifles.All documentation was destroyed for these weapons so you are hard pressed to...

Been there.All the info given above sounds good.Dont give up.Get that bad boy back out and get to work.Get that thing up and running.If we worry to much about hurting things or making mistake we would not do any of this stuff ourselves.Keep shooting.

Nice looking rifles .When i see pics like these it makes me happy i spent the time to make one.Good job,be safe and happy shooting. 300 yrds all day everyday.:D

Have you tried a stronger firing pin spring.Anytime i have had an issue like this i went to a stonger spring.Its hitting the primer just not hard enough.You would be surprised how often its an easy fix.I have done this with milsurps and the ar buffer springs.It just happens sometimes.Its a cheap...

Try a brass polishing brush on a dremel and get in there.With the work thats been done to the rifle its not uncommon to have some pretty rough edges in there.Take a Q-tip and move it around on the edges.See what catches and snags. I know it sounds silly after buying an expensive rifle but it...

I have a few muzzle brakes that i have placed on assorted hard hitting rifles.They work very well and look good. With the one you have,which appears to be like one i use, there is a domain of pain.Due to the area that the gasses are pushed you must move people more behind you.You will not make...

Having a Kimber is like having an armelite.Its made not to accept parts or pieces,like magazines from other companys. I have dealt with more than a few of them. Once a company makes mags that will fit it they will change the catch points so they wont work or you will have issues with them. If...

I get very bored sitting. I know where they are cruising so i travel the same trails and whammo there tey are.:D

Try the m855 green tip ammo. It has a little steel core luv in it.The xm193 is a frangible so no over penetration. Having seen what the 193 will do in real life,they do the trick.That is unless you are shooting through stuff.The green tips like to go through things.Frangible cover and that steel...

I put a STAG lower on my ar build.Luv it.They tend to be a bit more expensive,so i see alot of off or new brands out there.When people see it its always...o you have a Stag.always lots of love from other shooters.gun)

I built a custom ar 15 and ar 10. These are really the easiest to build. A couple of videos on youtube and off i went. You become very connected to the rifles.You learn them inside and out.You hear every click ,feel every moving part. Order the pieces or buy at brick and mortar. Depending on...

My first hog hunt was by myself on a friends property. Found one about 500 yrds from where i started. I was using a 16g shotgun with slugs,break open action. I put one through the 350lb boar left shoulder and through both lungs. I decided to let him lay for a bit so i walked back to find the...
