I was about to say…that sounded too good to be true.

Gosh that’s a nice looking double, but I only have cheap Mausers. Even the G.33/40s

If we were all standing around together, I believe we would carry you into a bar on our shoulders. Good catch.

I just missed out on one. Need it it for a project. Thanks, Lee

I’ll take them. Can you you seat the bullets? I don’t have 600 Nitro reloading equipment. Thanks.

I just had to stop by and say that your screen name cracks me up.

Did you find what you were looking for?

They are still available. Send a PM for payment and addresses.

Leander, just North of Austin.

I hope the moderators are ok with this ad aimed at one poster. I don’t like “back room deals”, so my offer is here in front of everyone. I can part with 50 unfired Winchester cases. Zip-lock seal was damaged, so I opened the bag to make sure all 50 pieces are there. Will sell for $90 delivered...

I have a CZ stock. Not sure which model. It was part of a package deal. I can get pics and measurements tomorrow.

Hey, why not? Do you still have the Mauser parts?

Wow. I’m really jealous. That is the exact combo I want. I search for it occasionally. I figure I’ll need to have it built.

I’ve got some big Weatherby brass, not all with 338-378 headstamp. I’ll see how much I have. How much are you looking for? I bought a bunch of it years ago at great prices. I’m not looking make a fortune on it. If you have an old action, a trade would be great (Mauser; 1910 Mexican, 1909...

Hmmm I’m looking for something a little longer

How long is it? I’m planning a slim & trim 6.5x55 on a 1910 Mexican Mauser.

I have an offer to trade for a shortened stock. I plan to do that. It’s already modified, so no harm if it needs to be shortened a tiny bit more. I do plan to look for an aftermarket stock, though. She likes the Maple that’s on her Mauser, so I may go that route. It will be up to Mom. The pics...

Good idea. I hadn’t thought of that.

We’re still waiting for her custom Mauser in 6x47 Lapua to be finished. After 2 1/2 years, she’s tired of waiting. I just made a deal for this 1955 Model 70 in .243 Winchester. The LOP will be shortened because she is 4’ 11” tall. I may look for aftermarket bottom metal. It will get a Swarovski...

It really is a small world. I saw this rifle for sale at **NOT**PERMITTED**. It sounded familiar, and how many 1917 Enfields in 358 Norma Magnum could there be? I googled it and found an ad about two years old for the same rifle. When I got it, I took off the scope mounts and saw that it’s a...

How did this photo get in here? I own this rifle. It’s a Remington Model 30 Express in .358 Norma Magnum. It was built by Mark Chanlynn in the late 1970s, with one of his barrels. Not trying to be confrontational or complaining, just curious.

Thank you, Mark. I copied your info. I plan to send payment through the mail on Saturday. I think a moderator will delete your personal info from your post.

I’ll take it

I’ll take it.

What about face to face?

Modified vs factory 1909 Argentine I hope this hasn’t been too nerdy for you. I’m just fascinated by this, and determined to work up a load for it. The barrel is.288” instead of the modern .284. I contacted Hammer Bullets to ask about custom machined solid copper bullets. Not a problem. I need...

What is this thing at the back of the trigger guard? That is a huge gap in front of the follower. No surprise, but…that’s a whole lotta gap.

Yikes. I am so tempted to repair the stock damage. I think I will not be able to resist repairing that tip.

Comparison with unmodified DWM 1909 Argentine. I don’t know what the twin identical marks are. Can anyone here tell me? Charlie O’Neil was here

More nerdiness The barrel has been set back and rechambered. Originally 280-300-CCC (.280/300H&H/front ignition). Notice old locations for Unertl scope blocks. Original chamber marking Massaged action compared to DWM 1909 Argentine

And the Handloader magazine has no photos and just has a few sentences about it. It says the rifle was experimental and not successful due to the powders available at the time. I don’t have photos of the whole rifle. I keep getting home when it’s to dark to get a decent photo outside. I did get...

I contacted Simpson LTD. The price to ship is more than what I paid for the rifle. It was an impractical idea. It’s a cool old rifle. I’m sure he would love to have it, but I also don’t want him to feel like he owes me.

Yikes.

And leave it there. It’s a gift for a friend there. That’s the plan, anyway. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this in motion? There is no rush. At all I was thinking of calling it a Christmas gift. Thanks. Lee

I’m in. I’m not sure I’ll ever need it, but if I do, I want to have it.

It turns out that was Handloader magazine. I found a copy and ordered it.

I found out that Rifle magazine, Volume 1, issue #4 (1966) may have some info on this rifle. I have searched a few sites but haven’t found it yet. Does anyone here have it?

The 280 OKH was apparently rechambered. The barrel also has “280-300-CCC”. I forgot what CCC stands for but it was forward ignition.

That’s a bummer. A previous owner of the rifle has threads looking for info ten years ago. This was a suggestion with no follow up.

I read that this book might have some info on Elmer’s 280 OKH. FWIW, I’m about to order the book. I just bought the rifle and it would be great to see a photo of it from way back when. Thank you. Lee

Payment sent

Cool. I’ll grab a screen shot. I’m sure the moderators will edit your post because of personal info

I’ll take them if you can wait for me send a money order on Saturday. I can not get to the post office on a weekday.

I’ll take the dies

I was outbid on the Mauser. I think I’m a tiny bit more disappointed that relieved. It sure is pretty. Very good condition. It sold for $230 more than my high bid, but who knows what the winners high bid was.

Cool rifle. I do love the 1917 Enfield/Remington Model 30 Express . I have two Remingtons in 35 Whelen. Both are rechambered factory barrels.

“Gunbroker” as a verb. That cracks me up.

Things you don’t need reminds me of my high school friend who went off to college but mid-semester arrived to get a much needed shot of penicillin. His father was a doctor who fixed him up after cooling off and a stern lecture. My friend came home several weeks later with the same issue. I just...

Oh. I have about 16 of them.

Tell me it wasn’t the FN Mauser in .358 Norma Magnum. The rifle that would be a perfect companion to my Remington Model 30 Express in .358 Norma Magnum. I liked that rifle, but hesitated too long.
