Hi: Has anybody shot this rifle? If so, what is your evaluation? I see them for as little as $265.00. Thanks, Zeke

Hi: Am I missing something here or not. If I use a copper remover in conjunction with a brass,bronze, bore brush, won't my following patches show a trace of copper?Lol I seems to me that the solvent will destroy a brass brush quickly. Perhaps one should only use a brush that...

Hi: I was attempting to get a Remington 700 barrel clean when I asked a friend who has a few 700 rifles if he could get the barrels clean. He replied,"No." This guy is very anal retentive about his guns! He has tried many types and methods to get his barrels clean. I have used Ed's...

Hi All: Kindly ignore my post concerning the lack of Remington products. I should have paid more attention to the source of the disinformation before I repeated it! This disinformation came from a gun store that has/is the following: This place is very strong on...

Hi: What are the thread dimensions on the guard screws for the Mauser 98 action? Thanks in advance, Zeke

Hi All: I removed the bolt from the action by pulling very hard on the firing pin while pressing the rear of the extractor towards the bolt to get to slip past the receiver bridge. I used a pair of parallel jaw pliers for this task. Now, the bolt is out of the rifle with the...

Hi jkob: Thanks for your very generous offer. I did manage to get the thing apart. I got lucky: Stay well my friend...

Hi: No. the safety is not on. The safety is a Buhler wing type that locks the cocking piece back when the wing is lifted. This is a standard military 98 Mauser. The bolt is in the action and appears to be locked in the closed position as if it were ready to be fired...

I forgot to add that the bolt shroud is still attached to the bolt body and the bolt is in the locked firing position. Hi again: I can not lift the bolt handle! There is no movement in the firing pin, bolt body or shroud. How may I remove these parrts from the bolt body or remove the...

Hi All: I hav a M98 that has the bolt in the action and only the firing pin and spring attached. I can not raise the bolt handle to remove the bolt from the action. The cockling pice is off of the firing pin allowing the pin to go deeply into the bolt body. How may I remove the...

Hi: My local dealer was told by a Remington sales rep tht Remington is getting out of business of selling reloading components. Anybody else hear this rumor...

Hi; Has anybody noticed a difference between the older and the newer produced Remington 700 rifles as far as quality and accuracy? I recently bought a 700 produced 2 May 1962 and the inletting and bedding was as close to perfect as I think that one can produce. Perhaps a good...

Hi to all who answered: I have often thought that a factory barrel was a waste of time to attempt to make "good cases" for use as they would not respond to having the benefits of good brass. Then again, I have also wondered why if good brass worked well in a "match" grade rifle, would not...

Hi Gang: One of my next projects will be developing loads for a .257 Roberts. The gun is a 1952 F.N Mauser. I may find some high quality 7 mm Mauser brass that I may neck down or perhaps there are other parent cases that I may use that are also high quality. Perhaps there is a...

Who makes the best .270 Winchester brass? I could neck down some 30-06 brass if it were top quality. Any sugestions? Stay well...

The hottest selling gun at the local gun shop is, wait for this, a Savage chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum. The gun sells for about $995.00 and the shells are $76.00 per box of 20. The gun is a matt black bolt action with a muzzle brake, very long barrel and seems to be quite light...

Hi gang: This rifle came into the local gun shop for sale by the owner. He is asking $695.00 for the rifle, The owner thought that he had about 600 rounds through the barrel. It has twin ports and a laminated stock. Is this a good price for this rifle? Will I be looking to replace...

I have been warned that this site has a virus that may harm my computer! Be careful, Zeke

Are these rifles accurate out of the box? Can they be tuned to shoot well? Are there aftermarket triggers available for them? Are they worth the price that thet bring? Are they a quality product? Anybody have first hand information regarding these rifles...

Hi Gang: I am shocked that this cartridge has not become more popular. The 7/08 seemed to catch on and is doing well as a deer cartridge etc. The 7mm Mauser has a greater capicity and a sharper shoulder which may be more "modern." I can only guess that the mauser round...
