how's it going to stand up to a fire?

Probably just as good as most safes. From my research I've found that even ones that are fire proof don't stand up for very long. I've read a lot of stories about ones who had a firesafe and the stocks and papers they stored in it were scorched.

Granted I'm no expert by any means, but this seems to be pretty standard from what I've read.

Well I just learned a heck of a lot. Thanks!

Is their a way (with the right tools) to change brass from a berdan into boxer? Or would it require melting it down and starting over?

I've heard of several people using old pop machines for gun safes. Now what you need to do is make it so it works, while keeping your guns safe. Then when a thief sees it he won't think something is stored in it. :-)

I sent out the MO to Timney today. They should have it hopefully by the end of the week.

--------- Update ---------

FYI...

According to the tracking number, Timney received the payment for our triggers. Az is going to see about getting them picked up tomorrow!

I was watching this youtube video Iraqveteran made. He came up with a pretty cool idea on how to remove berdan primers.

I will contact Timney tomorrow to place the order. If I have enough time during my lunch hour to get to the bank and the Post Office to send the payment I will, otherwise I will get it out Tuesday. I will let you guys know either way tomorrow night.

Az I will let you know when they receive the payment and when they are ready for you to drop by and pick up the triggers.

Also, to make your sorting simple, here is the order for who is getting what:

dirtyjim: 2 Mosin Nagant

Rojelio: 1 Mosin Nagant

With surplus ammo so cheap it seems (to me anyway) to be a waste of time to reload it. I understand you don't get the satisfaction of a job well done and the only way to squeeze maximum accuracy is with reloads. http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/ammo-for-rifles/7-62x54r/p/7-62x54r-bulgarian-light-ball-fmj-ammo%2C-steel-case%2C-440-rd-tins-/cPath/12_42/products_id/1789

Another bad part about the surplus ammo is its corrosive.

Got some more MO's today:

Thanks guys.

Latest trigger stat information is posted in "Last Call for Triggers" posting in the Mosin Nagant forum.

.357x39 is exaclty what I was thinking.

 

Call it the .357 Hoosier. Hey that doesn't sound too bad...

 

Should be able to use Lee dies to neck out the 7.62x39 case and ready made .357 bullets. Just need to get a .38 barrel blank and get the chamber made. I will have a 98 mauser action coming available shortly that should be a good candidate for just such an experiment. mwhahahaha....

Steal some of the .357 bullets I sold to your cousin. From the sound of things he isn't using them, and they performed really well for me.

.357 Hoosier... I like the sound of it.

Midway has a few choices for you:

http://www.midwayusa.com/browse/BrowseProducts.aspx?pageNum=1&tabId=1&categoryId=7561&categoryString=9315***652***19785***9016***

I've heard from others they like both Hornady and Sierra.

Just to add to what Tinker said, I know from my searching on Mosin's the american made ones actually where changed over and chambered for 30-06. As far as I know they are kinda rare but that should at least tell you about how strong the Mosin action is.

Here is a Wikipedia entry on it, look under the United States section:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosin-Nagant

As far as your Turk you should be able to do just about anything you want with it. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of rust you said you have on the barrel. Is their excessive rust on the action? If so that may cause you problems and it wouldn't hurt to have it checked out by a good gun smith. On the same note many of the guys on here may be able to tell you just by looking at some good pictures of it.

Thanks for the site. Has some good info on it.

Hey 8uck, got an idea for your wildcat round. How about a .357x39?

Update: Received 3 MO today - Dirtyjim, Rojelio, & rdm1962

Just waiting on 7 more members. I know you guys are working on it, but if possible please get the money to me this week. Az said he will be near Timney in the next week or so and it would save him a trip if we can get them ordered this week.

If you can't get it to me this week please let me know so I know when to expect it. Thanks guys!

---------- Edit -----------

More Changes. Please look this over and let me know if I have any mistakes. It seems like every couple of days someone messages me with changes to their order and I'm afraid I'm starting to have a hard time keeping track of it!

Glad that stock didn't put a wood slither in your hand. With that much damage I would think it would be better to get a new stock instead of trying to fix that one.

Thanks guys. I'll let you know as soon as I get them.

On a side note just to let everyone know we had several change their orders, we are now down to a total of 15 triggers unless we have more changes. As long as we stay above 10 we will keep our discount. Also please remember to make sure you put your forum name on your MO to me. Otherwise I'll get money but have no idea who's trigger it is for. :-)

If possible please get your MO to me this week so I can get the order placed. I'm going to be moving in a couple of weeks and want to make sure I get your monies and place the trigger order before I move. If for some reason you can't get the MO sent out this next week please let me know so I know when to expect it.

Here is what I have and current status. Please let me know if their are any changes or if I may have accidentally forgot to send you my address:

Wow. Very nice work.

Just a thought, but instead of combining them all into one forum you could split them up into geographical regions and types.

Example:

Modern Commercial

Black powder

American Milsurps

European Milsurps

Asian Milsurps

Or you can make it even simplier.

Example:

Modern Commercial

Black Powder

Milsurps

Just some thoughts.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the 45/90 & 45/110 (Quigley round) sharps are black powder and the 45/70 is smokeless?

Just a FYI...

I got a flyer for Gander Mountain the other day. They have Mosin Nagant 91/30's for $99.99 with all the accessories. If you don't have your C&R this is a really good deal.

------- Edit --------

Sorry guys, I just realized I posted this under Mosin Nagants instead of Deals Found.

Yes Welcome! Glad to have you part of the group.

Indiana laws are crazy when it comes to deer hunting.

I've said this many times to 8uck and he doesn't beleive me but I would suggest you look at .357 max round (biggest legal deer round in indiana I know of). Its legal then you can shoot .357 max, .357 mag, & 38 spl plinking ammo.

http://357maximum.com/

But since this is your first project I would also suggest you stick with something a little simpler until after you get over the learning curve (I should know because I'm still learning myself). You may want to look into getting yourself a carcano like 8uck mentioned. He's had great success with them for the rimmed rounds and you can pick them up for less then $40. Good Indy deer rifle.

You can always chamber your current rifle to something like .308 or 65.x55 or 260 Rem and the list goes on.

Guys, remember I'm not collecting for shipping. So please don't send the shipping money in the money order to me. Only send the money for the trigger when you mail it to me. If you want to put in extra for my time that's fine.

Please make sure you send your shipping money to AzRedneck since he is picking up our order and shipping them out to everyone. If you want to put in extra for his time I'm sure he wouldn't mind either.

I've had a few questions about the shipping so I wanted to clear this up.

I'm placing the trigger order and AzRedNeck will pick up the order then ship them out to everyone.

Please only send me the trigger order money, the total I PMed you. Please contact AzRedneck and send him the money for shipping.

I sent an email or PM to everyone I had on the list.

One thing I forgot to add was please put your Sporterizing forum name on the Money Order so I can keep track of who sent what.

Once I get it all together I will get the order submitted.

I just need to know where to send the money and my address.

I'm collecting the funds so once I PM you my address you can do that. The GM never sent me any official quote, he just typed the trigger costs in. So I want to contact Timney one more time and make sure their are no surprise costs such as Taxes and the like. I want to make sure we don't have any surprises. As soon as I confirm (should be Monday) I'll PM my address to everyone and you can send your monies.

PM your address to AzRednek. He'll let you know what your shipping cost is.
