Not an m38, but Sierra 180 gr prohunters work well in my m39 and smle .303 - 40 gr of 4064 in the Brit and 42.5 in the Finn.

I bought an m1912 Steyr Chilean Long Rifle in 7x57 back in the summer from Allan’s Armory. Superbly accurate. You can trust Allan’s descriptions. https://www.allans-armory.com/aaresult.php?PageId=40 https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171203/6ab1d93e8d22ae1eeae6ef24af0592e1.jpg https://uploads.tapata...

Don't want to hurt your feelings but dang that gun looks nasty and something tells me that the bore is in even worse shape. I call it "honest use", haha! And actually the bore looks pretty good relative to the metal on the gas piston area. With the cracked hand guard I'm not sure if I'll ...

Took this young buck with my m39 and the load listed above shortly after posting the load data. He ran 75 yds but a blind man could follow the blood trail.

So, we have this local show with about 80 tables that is usually fairly good. But, because gun shows have been less than spectacular recently, I decided to only take enough cash to hold a gun until I ran to the bank should something worth while come up. Thought that might turn my luck around. The g...

Cool :vcool: as a snocone turd. Are those glass balls on the rear sight adjustment? And yes Bubby would start with some heavy grit sandpaper, and thank God no. Is the purpose of the cutoff for firing grenades? :thumbsup: Cutoff was so budget conscious generals reared on black powder single shots co...

If the receiver crest is intact - not a scrubbed SCW rifle - north of $700 depending on condition.

Even those converted for JS only had the chamber neck relieved for the .323 diameter bullet. Bore will still be in the .318-.321 range. Remchester 170 gr is loaded light with .321 bullets in deference to gew88s. I handload Speer .321 170 gr over a mild 4064 powder charge. https://uploads.tapatalk-cd...

Humm, this prompted me to go back to my notes. What I measured was .321 at the muzzle end and .311 about 9 inches from the firing chamber. Once past this area in the bore, there was no more resistance. The slug came out shiny with no rifling showing. This area of the bore was coated with "what...

Yes, original imperial barrels normally run .318-.320 groove diameter. Instead of nickel buildup you may have cleaning rod wear at the muzzle. The diameter at the center of your barrel is within the original range - muzzle diameter is not.

I have a Gew88 and have a bore issue. When I slugged it the barrel it was really got tight in the middle. Conclusion after a lengthy thread here was that it is a better wall hanger. I, too, really like the Turk Gew88 conversions. My only concern with them is the Gew88 bolt and receiver that were re...

You could try the old Enfield trick if you reload. Slide a small o ring over the case until it is snug against the rim. Fire form the case then to fit your oversized chamber. Neck size for subsequent loading. The o ring holds the cartridge firm against the bolt face during forming. Regards Marty Sen...

Don't think any of these were converted to stripper clips. It will require an enbloc clip. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/ad/3050.htm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk MOST! of these were converted to take stripper clips and spitzer ammo. The rifle in the picture is a Gew88-05. As to Waleonstrange's...

Another possibility- the Chinese purchased both FN 1935 rifles and obtained K98k rifles. A rebuild with mixing of parts is a possibility.

My Remington also has remnants of red paint and a 2 groove JA WW2 replacement barrel that shoots awesome.

The good news is the metal appears intact. You might post a want to buy on the forum trader for a stock if you want to restore it.

North central LA within walking distance of my home. Not many neighbors. Some almost grown bald cypress in the same swamp where I shot her. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20161115/da754e2910f8c05f3a6af3bbfdc5f11f.jpg These eat pretty good also - gew98 is over 50" http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.co...
