    Tang issues in Mauser 98 build project

    It is my understanding that there have been several different lengths of Mauser actions over the years. This may be the source of your problem.

    Remington NY clearance.

    Lots of old machinery there; I can see why they closed that plant. Too far away for me to play.

    Headspace

    That's not really accurate. The case protrudes from the barrel at least enough for the extractor to engage it with zero headspace.

    Steel alloys for AR bolt heads ?

    I am no authority but EN8 seems to be less than 4140 and I would not really like to make those AR parts from 4140. I think they are made from a maraging steel which has much better physical characteristics.

    boring FL reloading die to make a body die

    In my limited experience of altering sizing dies, they are not hardened. If you are looking for no contact at the neck, run an appropriately sized drill through the neck with your lathe and be done with it.

    Walmart moron.

    I've seen it and I expect y'all to act like true adults here. You should be able to rationally deal with it.

    1903A3 Nat Ord

    I would not consider these to be collectables unless your collecting theme is repros, but the receivers were well tested and at least as good as government ones. They should be measured by their performance.

    1903A3 Nat Ord

    Thanks to my friends at M14BR.com for the following link concerning National Ordnance. Although this site is primarily about .30 M1 Carbines, this link gives info regarding other models including the M1903A3 about halfway down the page.

    "Thinking about opening a shop"?...here 'ya go......."turnkey" AR receiver manufacturing setup

    Yeah, sounds like another example of how to make a small fortune (start with a large one and spend it on something with a weak market.)

    Bad results firing 5.56 Nato in a .223 rifle

    ... may have been the ammo was loaded hot..... Or it may have been loaded for COLD weather and fired in hot.

    Bad results firing 5.56 Nato in a .223 rifle

    Not really; manufacturing convenience. Don't know if the user manual said anything about it. If so, most users probably took no note of it. If not, one would hope that Ruger engineers tested use of oversize bullets and determined it would not be a problem.

    What is up with Timney drop in AR triggers

    So it is expecting recoil to provide the impetus?

    Making my own case gauge

    Looking for advice on pre-drill size and speed/feeds for reamer. So I gather from the user instructions that the holes go all the way through. And you are checking the height of the loaded cartridges relative to the upper face of the gauge. Your pilot holes will have to fit the pilot of the...

    Making my own case gauge

    That looks like a loading block even though it says it is a case gauge. Who makes it?
