9.3x57

[Mowgli Terry]

I am holding off on shooting my rifle. I am going to have my gunsmith bed it before I take it to the range. Ive just read too many stories about the stocks splitting in the tang area. I just had the stock start to crack on my sporterized 1891 Argentinian Mauser, from a crappy inletting job, so I’m going to take both to him when he gets back from vacation. I haven’t gotten my bolt back, with the new bolt handle, yet either.

What brand of dies did you finally get? So far, the Hornady dies have done very well. The hunt is on for 8mm brass.

The FN based rifle has the recoil pad installed and the front sight repaired. We'll be shooting that 9.3 rifle shortly. The The stock had been shortened by a Swedish Bubba. The recoil pad is to restore the length of pull. My gunsmithing funds are depleted.

Previously, the crown was redone. The rifle appears to be bedded correctly. The scope and rings had been removed. The base is to be left in place to cover up the screw holes.


I have only fired a few PPU factory rounds in the 8mm rifle. That rifle has a 60's vintage Japanese scope in a side mount.
