Oh yeah. That is correct. Now I remember. Kari was using the 7.5 Swiss Lee collet die for his .308 bullet loads for his Finn .308 rounds in his m28 or 28/30 because Lee doesnt make a collet die for 7.62x54r Look here. http://leeprecision.com/search.php?mode=search&substring=7.62x54R&includi...

Yesterday I bought a lam. Tula 1955-56. Thanks for helping me with my decision. All numbers match except for the mag. The stock is original and the gun has been refurbished.

Hello friends, All things being equal, (condition, matching-non-matching numbers, armory, price), what would be a better choice, laminate or solid stock? I have always liked solid wood stocks and don't care much for plywood or synthetic stocks. Accuracy is important and looks. I will be buying a SKS...
