Thanks Shooter, but I think I might wait for the next show...I know I've seen some .303 milsurp at the show before at one of the big ammo dealers, and it's usually around the same price as on-line, or at best a couple bucks more, but no shipping....

But I bookmarked that page just in case...that's what I want.


What's FUNNY is that once when picking up a gun at SOG, I picked up some empty ammo crates they give away all the time, and got two .303 ammo crates from WWII, that are kind of neat, olive drab painted wood with the metal inserts, and rope handles...and both are stamped on the outside in several places in yellow "NOT TO BE USED IN SYNCHRONIZED GUNS AFTER 1946!"

I always wondered, what planes were they still FLYING in '46 that had synchronized .303s???? Swordfishes????

I cleaned my garage this weekend and found them both...

I want one of the .303 Machine Guns

I reload for about 100 different cartridges so I know what I am talking about when I say that loading rifle ammo is easy and much cheaper than buying ammo. The break even point is about $.18 per shot for the 303, 30-06 and 7.62X54R. As I can buy surplus 7.62X54R cheaper than I can buy bullets I shoot a lot of that stuff in my Nagants but for cartridges like the 7.5X55 Swiss there is not contest it is much cheaper to reload.

Hell Polish.....anybody who's ever played with British made stuff (I've played with British cars for nearly 50 years) can tell you that the most valuable tool in their tool chest is a sledge hammer!

Preferably an 8-pound sledge, X, and a "Jaws of Life" to sort of move things around.

British cars eh? Reminds me of a little verse I read somewhere once:

I once knew a guy who had an Austin . . .
There was room for his a$$, and a gallon of gas,
But his n*ts hung off and he lost 'em.

X, you had to take a sledge to the Mini-Cooper????

Where EXACTLY did you have to hit it???


It kind of reminds me when I raced, one day I actually had the Pinto dialed in fairly well, and had some time between the hot lap sessions, and decided to "adjust" my steering column over a little, there were adjustment slots built in the dash bracket that the column hung on, and the oversize wheel bearly touched my left leg with my new seat in place, so I'm in the car, and the column won't move when I loosened the bolts holding it to the bracket, so I had my wife get the 20 oz ballpeen and I start whacking away at it to free it up and move it over a touch.....



....and I look up and there's two of my fellow drivers leaning in my car on the other side with funny looks on their face...so I stop and got a puzzled..."What are you doing????? )

I said, "Oh just making a minor adjustment to the handling..."


It got around the pits REAL fast, became a standing joke, and even made it to the end of the year banquet....

"Most drivers make "minor adjustments" with wedge and stagger, Mike just takes a sledgehammer to the steering wheel....."

Hmmmm, I take it that same general rule applies to working on your Mosin Nagants as well, Polish? Of course, with a fine Mauser one only needs a screwdriver to assemble and disassemble them.
