You guys talk of 'clipped and pinned' lowers. Would it be safe to say this is a clipped but not pinned SEF that someone put on this SAR8? I have a SAR3 and would like to get an SEF as well but never understood what I needed. Not trying to hijack the thread but figured it was related. Thanks...

41maguser The reason for the two powders was that I read someone else used them successfully for something similar. I didn't want to spend a lot of time and loads lokking for the best so just went with them. Lots of other choices - some undoubtedly better - I'm sure. If you try others. let...

Thanks rc, I'll try that. Maybe I'll take Matt's advice and try a few 308 bullets and see if anything works well. Jim K - I was able to (barely) stick a 311 bullet in the fired 06 case from this rifle. That told me that I should have enough neck room to fire 311 bullets. I was going to...

rcmodel, I have the same issue as the OP. Bought an old Argentine Mauser that was marked 30-06. Fired 06 factory ammo and it was great at 50 yds but all over the place at 100yds. Guy at range knew these guns well and said that in the 60's when 7.65 ammo was hard to get, importers rechamberd...

I was just about to recommend the 230 in 32 when I noticed someone talks about the "elusive 32". I have a SS 230 and two blue in 380 and 1 blue 32 - all sweeet guns...and I have a set of those factory wood grips too - but haven't decided which baby should wear them!;)

Constrictor, They may be "your" friends but they are NOT "our" friends. I'll make you a deal, you keep them all in MO and I won't kill any more...but the ones in PA - esp. my back yard...are TOAST!!! Klausman, Heat gun is like a hair dryer (which would work just as well if you can get it...

"I'll have to get my wife to give you some pointers on photography--yours is worse than mine, and that's saying something. " LOL!! Believe it or not, I was a photographer back in the day....of 35mm film of course...and I do OK with my digital camera and time...BUT with my cheap phone and in...

Let me know if this makes sense now... and anyone else chime in if you have ideas for powder loads and/or crimping ideas. Thanks again!!! All I want is a little fun AND dead snakes!! Did I mention I HATE SNAKES!

Rich, Here's an update with a couple more pics that might help. I also checked the powder I tried so far (as best as I can remember since I can't find my notes yet). 1) start with primed/sized case and add powder (5.9g. Titegroup or 7.6g. HP38 - ??) 2) take 2-1/2" plain shotgun column...

Yes, I heard of people (and almost started) making them out of 30-30, 303, or even 414 supermag - but it required sizing the end with a different die to fit the cylinder and like you, I knew I wasn't going to keep making them. If I make 25 of them, they'll probably last me a lifetime - but if I...

The titegroup has the nicer patter but the HP38 did ok - some of it depended on howtight the petals were melted, etc. I think I'll make some more with Titegroup but wouldn't fear a snake with either one.

Here are my test results. Look at the front vs. back of the milkjugs. Pellets destroyed the front and dented the back of water-filled jugs - I think that should work well on snakes!! I shot from about 10' or so...normal snake distances. The patterns were about 16" diameter and had very...

OK, I've asked for months now - here and elsewhere - even tried to highjack the 41 Mag Association thread :D - but I tried a couple things and think I have found a decent load! But of course, I'm always open to new ideas and thoughts for making this better. I decided to load 41 mag shot...

I'm with speedracer...if I could have any 10 guns for free...I'd take them!!!! Heck, for free, I'd even take RG's and Rossi's :eek: You pick them and let me know when they're ready and I'll give you my address.:)

Thanks Tarosean, I'd let you have it for 101.12 but shipping would be an extra $800 :D I like it and need to get it out and shoot it now...but I guess I'm going to have to settle with the very little info I have. I have to assume it's an early 60's commercial from W. Germany most likely...
