7.63 Mauser, if you end up with a Broomhandle.

The trigger could be Solved, by using an electronic trigger, instead of a mechanical connection.

Here is a picture of the rifle in question. Tikka M55 in .308 Win, shortened to 45cm (18") It was originally fully stocked(Mannlicher style) But I cut the front part off. Cheek rest is a Mathews Kydex Cheek Rest Supressor is a Schültz & Larsen Hardcore TDM 45 Twister (It goes aprox 3-4" over...

Last update :) I finally decided to give it a last polishing, with the 800 grit hone. (13 minutes) Now it works almost as new, and the fired cartridges are uniform and smooth. with no rough spots, from the previusly bad champer. Now I can finally finish this project, and end up with a...

From Germany, you can get full lenght barrel inserts, in several calibers. They can even be 'dialed in' to have the correct point of aim, with the existing sights. Only disadvantage is, they cost 3-10 times the price of the gun.

Update: I got the flex hone chamber hone, 800 grit, and has put it to good use. I started with 3 mins in my cordless drill,(aprox 1000 spm) and it improved extraction a little bit. But I still needed the Mallet... I then gave it 10 mins, and it was slightly better, and another 10 mins, and now...

I looked at Sportsmansguide.com and can see, that they have almost the same price, for .44 Rem Mag and .44 Special(named 44 S&W on their page) For the cheaper Magtech loads, the price difference, for 50 rounds is less than US$ 0,50 And that is no matter if it is normal or CAS loads. You can...

If you don't start reloading, then look at CAS loads for plinking.

I also want it to work, without oiling, but for testing if it helps, I can manage oiling 3 rounds :)

I Owned a Ljungman AG42b, Semi Auto in 6.5x55 In the manual, it is specifically stated, that the catridges must be lubed, before shooting. The Locking system on that one is not stronger, than on a Tikka Bolt action, and I have no qualms about firing lubed cases, for testing JimK: The threaded...

I was thinking about giving the cases a coat of Caramba MoS2 :) I will try that, in the Weekend I have ordered an 800 grit Flex-Hone. I hope it arrives next week.

I agree, that my brass looks rougher, than the samples from eastbank. When I got the rifle, I gave it a thorough cleaning, plugging the barrel, and having it stand the night over, with Robla Solo in the barrel/chamber. The rifling looks clean and sharp and blank.

Sorry. I hadn't filled in the location, in my Profile. (that is fixed now) I am in Nuuk, Greenland, and We don't have a fully equipped gunsmith up here. (Population 16000 in this city, 55000 in the entire country) If I am to get to a good gunsmith, then I must send the rifle to Denmark. Ok...

I did some more polishing, using longer time (aprox 10 min) with Autosol, and 10 min with 0000 Trollull. Extraction is better, it "worked" for 8 shots, but it is rough to get the spent case out. I didn't need the mallet. I am trying to get a Flex-Hone, but I might give it a try, tomorrov...

I have done a couple of minutes polishing of the chamber, with Autosol on a cloth wrapped aroud a 12 gauge bronze brush. It looked much cleaner. First testfiring result. Extraction possible, but not easy After around 5 rounds, I needed the mallet again.... I did some photos, of an...

I have an old Tikka M55 in .308 win. When I recently got around to shooting it, the cases are stuck. And I need to use a wooden block/mallet to hammer on the bolt, to get it out. My first Ammo was steel cased Barnaul .308 win with 168 grains fmj. I then cleaned the chamber using a 16 Gauge...

Any gun that you can carry is better than none. Other of the things you write reminds me of an old NRA sponsored video with Bill Jordan. Where He says: "if I know that I am going to a gunfight, then I will bring my 12 Gauge pump... AND some armed friends." Where I live carry is impossible...

You can also find the Baikal double rifle in 30-06. Actually there is one at Gunbroker at a buy now price of us$ 799. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=464619304 I would love to have that. Or the 45/70 version.

I don't suggest a false report. And I don't suggest going in harms way. But maybe there is a safe way to be close to there, when it is happening. It could be. I am * hundred yards from my treestands, that I wish to inspect, and I hear shots and hear them impact on the trees. I do not dare to...

I have no idea about the legal problems. But what would happen if you called the police and told that you where out inspection your pines, when you heard a shot or maybe more, coming from your neighbours. And you had to duck as you heard the bullets hit the threes behind you? I am not living...
