  1. It worked well for a couple of years then I had a house fire and when I recovered it, the spring in the bolt was shot so the steel was softened. I don't have any more takeoffs or turk receivers but I don't know if I would do it again just because of how scared everyone was of it. I didn't hot load it but I never experienced any signs of overpressure setback etc. I'm in PA so it was overkill to begin with. I did fire it the first 20 times with oiled cartridges with a string. it had at least 100 rounds through it before the fire. This was the first Gunsmithing site I ever visited and I learned so much from the people here.
  2. I have gotten them off with MAPP but I have never managed to make it work to attach one. Oxy Acetelyne is your best bet.
  3. I actually moved as soon as I finished that house(of course) we got another fixer upper in a much better neighborhood with room for a shop and a nice yard, just no time to use any of it Give me a call I'm still in the city but up on the border with bellvue.The dogs are getting old not as much energy anymore.
  4. Thanks Guys, I dont have any mauser stuff to post right now, Almost done an kp-44 I have been working on for a while, but I want to do a Mauser in 5.45x39 next. Bolt face and magazine look like the only big problems
  5. I have been at some other gunsmithing sites due to a resentment against the "gunsmith in charge" here for a few years now, I got a birthday call from Tanglewood a couple weeks ago and decided to stop by and see how everyone was doing. Hope all is well with everyone, Ive been browsing and some nice stuff is getting done.

  7. I haven't been here for a while but when Rhineland popped up trying to sell its kits over on another board, I remembered some guys here who were burned by them a few years back. Please add a post in the link below what you never received from them , if applicable. Hopefully your get what your owed. http://www.prexis.com/sten/homebuilder/index.php?topic=11616.30;topicseen
  8. Yeah still alive, Rifle still shoots. Ken Thanks for the link to the post over on gunco I'm a resentful Pr$#k and haven't been here for a long while. Nice too see your work Rojelio, next build a 30-06 m48 and your piss everyone off (long story for another time) Roy
  9. Clemson is right the only time I had to do this was for a 300 win. I have polished up rails and the feed ramp for '06 6.5 and 243 but didn't need to open them up to feed. I should have paid more attention to your caliber. Roy
  10. I use an empty case covered with black marker to see where it is catching and start to open it up there with a file, checking often with the case covered in marker , but remember they call me bubba Roy
  11. Bob58, You have a good eye, I bought it used but it said golden and the rest was unreadable from being polished. I didn't know it was an '03 it appears to have 2 grooves though Spiris, your right If I don't reload it is a compromise, but a 257 roberts if I don't reload is as big a compromise in other ways, I would need to reload my own 180 but the min oal for almost every other powder and bullet weight will work in the yugo mag without modifications I never loaded corelokt or tried 180's ,I do know from loading data that I can load 180 and keep them to a lenght that fits and get maximum velocity (ref. Modern Reloading) everything I read about this conversion says it is one of the hardest to do and thats in no way true, none of the mechanical explanations put forward in this thread hold water if someone reloads. In my case the intermediate actions are now the cheapest I can find So if some one wants to build what they want on the most inexpensive action still available I will give actual hands on experience as to what is involved. Everything I hear appears to be read from a post and I know there have been plenty of them, I wish I could remember who told me this would work on this board about 4 years ago but I was not the first to do this by any means. my point is some people have a yugo action and a 30-06 barrel and want to know if it will work and yes it will, with not much more work than a standard length (filing the magazine) I appreciate all the advice I get from you guys but I guess we need to agree to disagree on this one. Roy
  12. Waterdogz, do whatever you feel will work for you, nothing is a waste of time or effort if you want to do it. If you decide to go the 30-06 route take lots of pictures, I 'm starting to think I have a magic M-48 that functions with minimal work and all factory ammo. heres the link to the last argument over this. http://www.sporterizing.com/index.php?showtopic=6553&hl= Roy
