  1. Thanks gun nutty! Like I said stupid question. I am just a shooter and all the loading stuff is still very fuzzy to me. I hope to start loading and trying to learn these things soon but now Im just ignorant to that stuff.
  2. I guess why Im asking is because it would be a way to have something similar to a .308 that loaded good through a Mod 98 action.
  3. Hey guys Im not a reloading whiz or gunsmith but a buddy of mine asked me this and I was wondering if this gets done often or if it would even be worth the trouble. Has anyone necked a 8mm cartridge down to shoot 30 cal ammo? It seemed like a vallid question but it may be old hat around here. I know you would have to rebarrel and all that but just wondering if anyone has done that and if it was worth the trouble and/or cost. Wouldnt it just be a souped up .308? Thanks Paul S
  4. No I missed it. Couldnt afford anything then anyway . Maybe next time
  5. Hey Okie Im in Valliant. I think we've met before
  6. Here she is!!! I fixed the break before I could get pics loaded but I used the metal rod and epoxy. I embedded a threaded steal rod in the wood pointing from the front to butt inside the stock so if it did erbreak it wouldnt be so apt to fly back in my face. I also put a 3/8 dowel rod all the way through from top to bottom for extra strength because it has some real recoil. The stock was then reshaped on the fore end and I also added my version of a shnobel(sp?). The wood is a bit of a mistery because it has open grain like walnut but the grain is kinda like maple. The color is natural because I didnt use any stain so its a lot darker than maple. The stock was so beatiful and comfy I hated to scrap it and this was my first attempt at sporterizing so if it dont work I will atleast have learned some stuff. This was my first attempt at this bad of a break so I hope it will hold up because I intend to try to burn the rifling out of it as soon as possible. I also intalled a scope, safety and a butter knife bolt handle so Im good to go.
  7. Pecatonica and dixie gun works have a lot of seconds material that is discounted. If you call em and tell em you want a stripped down inexpensive kit they may not be much more than most factory kits. Not to mention you would have much better parts. The trick if you have never done it is get a step by step book. Both of these companies have such books. But they may still be a lot more. I definitly understand budgets these days The guys at Pecatonica are really nice and helpfull. I dont think they would mind giving you some ideas at all. Good luck!!! I love taking white tail with a rifle I have built
  8. Link didnt work so just google it and you should find it easy
  9. The last rifle I built was from Pecatonica Longrifle. They have great stuff and you can get em as close to finished as you want. I built my wife a Vincent Ohio rifle and it turned out beautiful. They have a good web site : http://www.longrifles-pr.com/index/shtml
  10. That is very funny!!!!!!! Mickey Mouse outfit = Obama Cabinet LMBO!!!!!!!
  11. I was thinkin about the 2 part epoxy with the threaded steal rod. I will try to get pics uploaded some time today
  12. I have to say I have never been a fan of the way mossin nagants looked but that rifle looked spectacular.
  13. I have a pawn shop prize model 98 oberndorf that someone put a very nice flamed WALNUT!! stock on and then somehow they broke it at the wrist and used SHEETROCK SCREWS to fix it!!!!!. I dont want to replace the stock because it is litterally the nicest stock I have seen. I want to glue it and put dowels in it for extra support. What kinda glue do you recomend. I was thinkin 2 part epoxy or gorrilla glue. Any suggestions???? Thanks PaulS
  14. I have used Pecitonica Long rifle and had good luck with them in the past. I havent got replacement parts but I have built a couple of rifles with their parts and they have good stuff and reasonably priced. Thanks for the heads up on TOTW though!
  15. I am ROFLMBO!!!!!! That sounds like my house!!!
