Most sources on a quick search give reduction of barrel leading as the main purpose for gas checks. Also increased accuracy, but the accuracy could be due to less leading.

That's dinner plate accuracy, as in, venison on the plate.
Not with the charger bridge, that was introduced in the 1900s. Beauty all the same.

At 2" you're getting better accuracy out of the pulled + reloaded HXP than I ever got from HXP factory loads.
Tahr, shoot your .303 unsupported and you won't mind or notice it's a 3 MOA rifle. The awful trigger alone will see to that.
The Arisaka is two piece stock too, the toe of the shoulder stock is dovetailed on. Also an expedient solution.

Removed the PH rail, instead put a mini red dot on a short length of weaver rail placed over the chamber, using the PH screw holes. Not sure you can call it a scout configuration as...
Has it got a mid-barrel bulge? You'd feel the different resistance to a brush as you push/pull it through. The dark section of the bore is usually caused by pitting, not bulging.

I've heard of some No 4 (T) two-groovers.
It was a manufacturing expediency to only cut two grooves, as rifling machines cut one groove at a time, but the two-groove barrels had to be shown to...
Seller is a truly great guy, passionate about NZ shooting sports. Not out to rip anyone off.

Probably keeps whining, head on a swivel looking around for another dog continuously whining somewhere nearby.
A barrel liner is appealing as most LEs have worn (out) barrels. There is a sound economic argument of just replacing the entire barrel, which also discards every historical stamp and serial number....
Nicest sporterisation of a No 4 I've ever seen. And the Mannlicher snub nose is in keeping with the No 1 Mk III heritage.
Here's another one, a .25 conversion of a No 1 Mk III, several photos. ...
Love the bottom one, that Mannlicher style full wood and nose cap is a beaut, and improves that ugly No 5 forend...
The Spanish FR8 is kinda cool, with the cleaning kit tube looking like a gas...
It the primer, usually potassium chlorate based, had mercury fulminate in it, could it have embrittled the case even if unfired? 70 yrs is a long time to store it, not designed to cope with that,...
Yes, the Americans have a thing for "scout rifles". No real NZ equivalent, and "bushpig" does not quite have the same cool factor.
And you said to him, "Thank you for making New Zealand safer!"

Well spotted. Respect!
Only 12 months guarantee??? They last a lot longer. Haha!
Ah... but the beauty of a Lee action is that its bolt handle does not stick directly up at any time. The Lee's 60 degree lift (/) from the closed position (\) means you never need to lose the sight...

Question is, IS IT possible? Cut off right side handle and reattach to left side. Would just have to get used to up = locked and down = unlocked. The...
Maybe Ruger mixed up American convention with European convention. The Americans measure caliber groove to groove whereas the self-confident Europeans with nothing to prove duly measure calibre land...
