Quote:Some of you may be missing the point here. I was talking about recent batch issues. Lately I have been seeing issues with bullets weighing less than 100 grains at impact velocities over 2900fps in flesh, recovered bullets showing zero expansion. I suggested folk keep an eye on (test) their current ammo just to be sure. This has nothing to do with game shot in the past and comments of this nature have no relevance to this discussion. When/where did you wrote that... not in this thread...? I..

It looks as if the holes had some contaminant in them. The threads are still intact, but you can see how the apex has been rounded off. As Nathan said, you should find a hand tap and t-handle and clean up the threads in the hole first. If you try to wind in the new bolts, the same thing will happen again. Be very careful about your alignment when using the tap, not difficult to do, but can sometimes be tricky to get it started. The issue being where the threads of the hole are damaged. A taper t..

Hi Bryan, the common name for this thread pitch is 1/4" UNF (1/4" x 28). If there has been some cross threading (perhaps compound seeped into the threads), it may pay to obtain a thread tap and wind this in by hand to clean up the threads. If you need new screws, these will ship from the U.S (Midway / Brownells) to Ireland without restrictions. But you may also be able to find 1/4" UNF hex heads locally.

Remington should (may) have 1/4-28 screws. Without a better picture, it looks like this one was cross-threaded or had something in the hole. May also have been screwed into a differently threaded hole, perhaps a 1/4-20 or 1/4-32?

Just thought id share this interesting thread. https://www.facebook.com/703367527/posts/10157087448592528?sfns=mo

John, here are instructions for posting photos in this forum: https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Resources/Discussion+Forums/x_forum/29/thread/1586.html [https://www.ballisticstudies.com/Resources/Discussion+Forums/x_forum/29/thread/1586.html] Love to see this oddity.

In case you missed my post on the Christchurch shooting, I am putting it here to. Hi guys, I am shutting this thread down also. No more. It is sad enough that so many people were killed and I know that this will never be over for their families. But I don't want this shitty situation to absorb any more of our time or energy. Today you can either worry and live in fear of things that are beyond your power and control OR you can get off your bloody computer and engage in a fun activity that actual..

You don’t say where you are or what you plan to hunt, so it’s difficult to fully assess which caliber would be best for you. I live in central Virginia, so my comments will be based on living and hunting here. I’ve not shot the 7.62x39 much, although I did mess with a .300 BLK for a while. I have shot the .223/5.56x45 a lot - from AR as well as bolt actions. It can do a lot, but it really isn’t the best choice for hunting game weighing much over 50 pounds. The 7.62x39 and .300 BLK throw a much h..

hi Charles welcome to the forum. the Answer is in the question WIDELY ADOPTED. the 7.92x33 and the sturmgewehr 44 was very late in ww2 yes you could class it as the first but not widely adopted, i don't think the cartridge itself made it very far as its very mild. MP 43, MP 44, StG 44 Grenadiers operating in the area of Aachen, Germany in 1944 As work moved forward to incorporate this new firing system, development halted when Hitler suspended all new rifle programs due to administrative infight..

Hi Mark, Thanks for the response to my post. You and I have a different view of what is going on with gun control, and that view will be different among people from other countries. So that would be interesting to discuss. Let's wait and see if anyone else wants to chime in. If so, we should move the discussion to another thread. This one is about the specific attack in Christchurch, about which many people are in shock and deep sorrow. Also, this happened in their home country and they must de..

Some nice compassionate words in this thread. I could go on about how we should behave. Instead I will relay how I speak to my daughter on a daily basis. This is not easy for me as I am sharing our private life but here goes: I love you. You are so smart, so beautiful, so kind, you are amazing. (On schooling) - Yes, unfortunately we are surrounded by messages of fear and guilt about the planet. You don't have to take this on, its OK that it makes you angry, just let it out, you have nothing to b..

I found and ordered a Timney 110 Enfield 5-shot trigger. It cost $104 delivered with taxes. Here's a link to a post detailing my adventures with the P14 as well as pics of the modifications. https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1485641-Dad-s-first-deer-Ever-amp-My-first-4-Point?p=13217489#post13217489 [https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1485641-Dad-s-first-deer-Ever-amp-My-first-4-Point?p=13217489#post13217489]
