Open the bolt, pull the trigger, and slide the bolt back. What years are they?

That sounds like the warning on kinetic bullet pullers. I wonder if that has ever happened? Thats a scary thought. Glad your friends ok.

It sounds like Albanian surplus. I have the exact same bullets. They have a copper/steel jacket as well as a steel core. If the red stripe is on the case neck and the primer, its just sealant. The sparks are probably from the steel jacket/core hitting rocks. Thats why most ranges in Ca...

I like the bolt action .22's. The Remington 511-x is the only .22 I own. I learned to shoot with my dad's 511, then he bought one for me in better condition for my 12th or 13th. birthday. Great rifle. A pump action looks like fun.

Funderb, can you post pictures of said rifle?

At $329 a case, you'd think its 196 gr. gold cored!

I just picked one up for about $150. It looks brand new except for a recent ding on the handguard. The date is on the bottom of the barrel near the receiver. I have not shot it yet, however my intention was not to make it a frequent shooter. They are said to be very accurate when you can get...

I usually go to the San Bernardino Turners for cleaning supplies and occasional ammo (almost always out of stock). I try to stay away from the gun counters because of overzealous sales people. I miss the days of they're unlocked surplus rifles out on display. I was too young to remember...

My 91/30 looked really bad when I got it. I mean light shellac with the dark red stuff later brushed on the forestock only and running down toward the buttstock. :barf: I thought I could refinish the wood without too much trouble. Well, 3 times later and I still don't like the way it looks...

I did the same thing today. Shot at .22 most of the day, then shot my 98k. Ouch! I have not shot a 12 gauge in about 7 years, but I remember the recoil being much stronger than the mosin or a mauser. Being very skinny, that steel buttplate really starts to irritate.

I can't find a tap that size, so I'll guess I'll buy a new magazine. Or I could shim the mag. and make that 1.5-2 turns of the screw work.

If tapping new threads doesn't work, I guess I'll have to replace it. Hopefully the mag. isn't too much.

Thanks, thats what I needed to know.:)

Sounds like an SKS is your cup of tea. I don't know how familiar you are with them so I'll assume little to none. Ten round magazine semi auto. If you live in the more free states, you can put a detachable 20 or 30 round magazine on it. Most Yugoslavian models are under $200. Russians are...

I tried this thread in the gun smithing forum, but thought Id try here too. I got my 91/59 yesterday. While disassembling this very greasy rifle, I found that the action screws were tight, but the magazine was loose. Turns out the threads in the rear magazine/trigger guard are crossed...
