I'm hoping that this is the proper place to put this, it seemed appropriate. I'm looking for some measurements for a Colt 1903 pocket hammerless in .32acp, specifically, the precise length of the slide at the longest point (the bottom of the rear of the slide) and the length of the frame at...
Okay, update time.
Took the Mosin out yesterday. It was an all day shooting trip type thing, and I ended up shooting something like 330 rounds out of that rifle. It started getting noticeably hot through the wooden grip section of the stock. I also learned a few things:
1. Gloves are...
"Wait. You shot a Mosin to the point of heat-mirage on iron sights.
How's your shoulder feeling, dude?"
I have shoulders of STEEL.
I have a cheap recoil pad on it that helps a bit.
As a conceptual question, could I replace the heat shield (slat covering the top of the barrel) with an...
"Shoot slower, with some breaks, and if you ever have to fight off a hoard of Huns, the mirage will be the least of your worries. "
But I was pretending I was a machine gun! Ratta-tatta-tatta!
"be glad you dont have a scope "
I assume that makes it much worse?
So, today I ran 100 rounds through my mosin, and firstly the spare cosmo started to boil in the wood, and then the fun started. At say number 85, I looked down the sights and my target was moving. I thought I was going mad, then I realized that the barrel was sending up so much heat that it was...
I want something shorter than an M44, and with different sights and stock. A sporting rifle rather than a military rifle. I just happen to like 7.62x54R (my wallet does, too).
Josh I'd be interested to hear more about those Finnish triggers. How do they work and what are the advantages?
Clipper I'd love to see both of those rifles.
Also, any thoughts on Mannlicher stocks?
Well, the point is that it shouldn't take unlimited funds. Although it would be nice if I had it. I could buy all sorts of things I don't need...I mean more than I do now.
The action on the Mosin I've got (which will not be getting cut up) is really very nice as far as Mosins go. And...
Cool. Thanks.
On the topic of sights, I wanted to do an express style V rear sight, where instead of just a notch, the rear sight has a nice wide V carved into it. Not for super precision work, but good for relatively short distances. I was going to do an unhooded blade sight with a white dot...
So, I read Peter Capstick's "Death in the Long Grass" a few months ago and I loved the idea of the express rifles that he uses, with the handy length and the fast acquiring sights. Problem is, I'm cheap (among other things). I've got a Mosin and really do enjoy shooting it (the cheap surplus...
Hi,
I always seem to end up on this site, no matter what I'm searching, and I finally got tired of only getting part of the thread, so I decided to join and save myself the trouble. :D
