    Copper remover and brass bore brushes?

    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...

    Can a factory barrel be really clean?

    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...

    How to remove firing pin and spring from Mauser 98?

    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...

    How to remove firing pin and spring from Mauser 98?

    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...

    Quality differences between the old and the new Remington 700 rifles?

    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...

    How to provide the best cases for a .257 Roberts?

    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...

    Modern loads in the 7mm Mauser?

    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...
