      First place to the RIGHT of the decimal point is TENTHS, second position to the RIGHT of the decimal point is HUNDREDTHS, third position to the RIGHT of the decimal point is THOUSANDTHS, fourth position to the RIGHT of the decimal point is TEN THOUSANDTHS. Your reading of .026 is 26 thousandths...

      burellsfurn can you give a better measure nomenclature ? Were you trying to say .026 or .0026?

      sks no go

      John told you right. To further improve on it you should strip the bolt so there is no interference from anything on the bolt like the extractor and then try your gauge. How do you know if you install that Brownell's barrel that it will index perfect straight up 12 o'clock? Back when Widners...

      SVT-40?

      Those SVT 40's with the slotted muzzle breaks are the earlier ones. The later ones had to 4 big square windows, two on each side. They later dumped using the SVT 40 for the sniping role and went to the Mosin Nagant bolt rifle, claiming the weren't accurate enough. Many claim the SVT 40 has a...

      MAS 49/56 adj gas valve

      Yes that is a trajedy for sure. They are a very decent rifle. Another trajedy is when Century Arms mutilated many of them into 308 by cutting back the barrel and re-ream with a 308 reamer. Most I have examined show a definition where the 308 chamber begins and the 7.5 French chamber left off...

      MAS 49/56 adj gas valve

      I've gotten some pm's about my adjustable gas valve for the French MAS 49/56. First it replaces the original "valve" and there are NO modifications to the rifle. This way you can return it to orignial collector condition. If you have a 49/56 which parts of the gas system missing you are...

      MAS 49/56 adj gas valve

      Most have trouble with the Hakim adjustable valve as it's super sensitive. Very hard to find the right spot. My replacement would be very tunable.

      Five Things Mauser Is Credited For He Did Do First

      Five Things Mauser Is Credited For He Did Do First

      Doco not to argue with you, but more to compare notes. I was under the impression that both the collar and receiver ring shoulder just about divided the torque. Wouldn't you have to machined the front receiver face if you machined the inner collar too? I say this about sharing the torque...

      Five Things Mauser Is Credited For He Did Do First

      The correct way for 98 Mauser barrel to index up is both the breech face and the barrel shoulder contact that inner collar ring and front receiver ring at the same time. They didn't have as good cases and ammo back when the 1903 was designed so mentioning today's ammo is mute. I think the...

      Anyone load the 9.3x57 ?

      I have one of the Huskys also and I love it. What you fellows don't know is I'm huge fan of cast bullet shooting, so I shoot my 9.3x57 with a 272 grain cast bullet from a mold from Mountain Molds. To tell you the truth with such a large diameter bullet cast is all I need. It's a real deer...

      Any 6.5 Grendel AR Platform Proponents or Detractors out there?

      Quite a few people were banned from the 6.5 forum So does that mean we don't have a chance to go to Heaven. Like that means anything to us. BTW I'm not calling out Bill. He doesn't run AA anymore, may not even have the title of "engineer" there. Here, email Bills old friend/partner back...
