Hi Good to hear from from anyone across the pond. Hope you & your family are all safe & well. Take care Regards Yamavira

Afternoon from a wet NE England, UK, to Everyone. Here in the Uk it has become increasingly difficult to obtain Jacketted bullets (heads !!). Have decided to try reloading my 7x57 Mauser with hard Cast Lead,gas checked bullets. Slight problem. The company producing hard cast lead bullets here in...

Wish to remove the lifter for cleaning without,if possible, dismantling the whole action. Viewed a short video on line describing how to remove the lifter by removing the bolt & then the lifter pivot screw. Turn the rifle upside down & the lifter comes free and can be wriggled out for cleaning...

Email this morning from the company. Sorry part not in stock. Expecting back in stock "in a few MONTHS. Drat !!!.

Evening Guys Have been loading my own ammo for some 40+ years. We are allowed to load our own ammo. Way back then we were allowed to own handguns. Had a lovely Python. We also were permitted to own SLRs. Then !!. A lunatic called Ryan wandered around his neighbourhood shooting people. SLRs were...

Afternoon Chris. Thank you for the info. Went onto the site & have ordered the Ram Pin. 6 Euros total. A good result Again Thanks yamavira

Morning from the UK The Aluminium linkage on my,quite old, single stage Lee Challenger press finally shattered. Has successfully loaded many thousands of rounds over the years. Not a big problem as Lee currently sell parts to retro fit the later steel linkage to the older model Challenger...

Good Morning. Thanks for your reply. Assembling the base plate onto the action as shown in the photo you will note how the Mauser trigger sits in the back half of the trigger guard. I have not opened up the trigger guard which would enable me to slot the timney trigger through the guard as...

Finally after 2 years of trying for a Timney trigger, supposedly for my 7x57 Mauser, It was finally delivered. Unfortunately I am not sure that it is the correct trigger for my rifle. Attached 2 photos. One of the original Mauser trigger together with the Timney TT201 unit & the Mauser...

August 2021. Finally. Local dealer has emailed me that a consignment has been delivered from Timney and there is a TT201 in the consignment. . Only taken from May 2019. Will make a post when I have installed the unit in my 7x57 Mauser. Hopefully will not entail too much fettling. Yamavira.

Hi Again Thanks for all of the help/assistance. Much appreciated. Now. The Firing Pin Spring. This is a very powerful spring. Is it really necessary for it to be so very strong. Has anyone replaced this very strong, original, spring with a lighter spring. The lighter spring of course must still...

That's correct. 2 position after market. Did have a slight oops when cocking piece freed. Spring shot the firing pin into the garage door.

Evening Guys. Thank you for your help / advice. Job's "a good'un) as we say in England. You've certainly got to be very wary of that big spring. (have polished the scuff mark out of the dining room table edge !!! Wife will never notice. I hope).

Thank you for your immediate response. Much appreciated The low profile safety has only 2 positions & can only be set to safe when the bolt is cocked and this then locks the bolt closed & the trigger is locked.. I think the 1st step requires the bolt to be cocked to enable the safety to be set...
