This channel is mostly about he Mosin Nagant. There will also be many loading and reloading videos here. Most info on reloading for the Mosin is scant an untrustworthy. We hope to change that a little. Keep checking here for great looking Custom Mosin builds and collectible Mosins.
Also some great bench rest shooting. Like the 6.5x47 and the 6mm BRX.
bro, i know im bout a decade late, but if your rifle is fireforming the shoulder that far up, it is wildly out of spec. do not use a rifle that does that.
Finally got around to installing your kit! Wow very nice! I added an extended bolt lift while I was at it and I am impressed with the difference in lift feel! Thank you for a great kit!
Desh, I don't like to criticize people, but you are senseless. Why buy a $300 gun and then spend $1000 to fix it up. For the same money you could have bought a terrific accurate out of the box rifle like a Remington 700 SPS.
Dude you shill waaaayyy too hard. You think people wont have to go into debt for a 30k machine? That you claim to have paid off in 2 weeks. Yet you say a haas that costs 45k will take forever to pay off. by your math it would take 1 extra week to pay off. CNCA will gladly take your payments with no early payment penalty. You are just talking out your ass. No way on earth id take a tormach over my haas. My machine came set up, installed, with factory training and support and a warranty where the techs come right to my house. the extra 13k i paid was well worth it, the machine has a chip auger and 40 gallons of coolant. Tormachs just dont compare. 1100mx is 1600lbs, mini mill is 3500lbs. thats a MASSIVE difference in rigidity.
The Richard Lee loading manual does not do pressure tests themselves, they only take test data from others that do and jumble it all together, of which they lose the test barrel length, case brand, primer type and brand, as well as bullet brand. And some 45 caliber bullets are .451" and some are .452" diameter. These are all important elements, as one should never take data made for one specific brand and type bullet and turn and use it with a different brand or type bullet. This is due to Brinell hardness and bearing surfaces can be different, as well as the shape can be slightly different with longer or shorter lengths, all of which can cause extremely high pressure issues. One should only use data straight from a reputable data source [see paragraph below] that does their own pressure testing which give the test barrel length, case brand, primer type and brand, and most of all the brand of the type bullet used in developing the data. Each one of these elements that are changed is a compromise of which if all are compromised at the same time could very well add up to a recipe for disaster. Yet again, Richard Lee's manual throws out one of the carnal safety rules of "never use load data developed for one brand of bullet for another brand of the same style bullet". Keep in mind that it is always better to throw out Richard Lee's manual than any of the safety rules. But with all that said Richard Lee's reloading manual has a wealth of knowledge in the front half that makes the book well worth having. Just do not ignore the Cautions, Warnings, and Nevers there within. Lyman, Speer, Nosler, Sierra, Barnes, Swift, Berger, Norma, Lapua, VihtaVuori, Accurate, Western Powder, Hodgdon, or even Hornady reloading manuals are far better suited than Richard Lee's for gleaning load data from, as they all not only do their own testing but they all give the test barrel length, case brand, primer type and brand, as well as the bullets brand and type for each load recipe. Lyman has most everyone's bullets and many powders too, so it is a good all around manual to get first. Then once one figures a particular bullet they want to use they should get the bullet manufacturer's manual, and try and get the powder manufacturer's manuals that they plan to use as well. Then as one decides to use other manufacturer's bullets and powders they should add these manuals as well. And Lyman also has a Cast Bullet reloading manual for those who wish to cast their own bullets. There are also other reloading manuals that do not pressure test their loading data and those should not be used for load data but can be used to glean information of the reloading process. So once one has all the powder and bullet manufacture's manuals they could continue to add these other manuals for the knowledge in the first half of them (only).
I too was a little skeptical, but I do believe in small incremental imporvements adding up to make a dramatic difference, and after installing I can definitely say this could be one of those. For the price its a no brainer, but the real biggest difference is it made my Savage 110 Ultralite, already a very light rifle, capable of running the bolt one handed easier. Its so light the friction of the bolt handle is actually greater than the weight of the rifle, so it just moves the whole rifle instead of the handle. Now, less friction, less bolt movement weight, and it moves the handle instead of the whole rifle. Thanks. Would you also think oil or light grease may lessen it up even more? I put a small bit of oil but not much.
Just installed this kit, and I honestly can't tell a difference, good or bad, in bolt lift. It feels exactly the same in my case. Installed it per the video instructions. Still have to use the scope as a thumb brace when lifting the bolt with one hand which I had hoped to eliminate. Maybe the difference is more noticeable on other firing pin type bolts. I'm probably jusy going to give up on this rifle and build something else.
PM machines are made in Taiwan, the Republic of China, not over in Shanghai where all the other Commie Chinese lathes come from. They are higher quality. How do I know? They offer a 2 year warantee, not a 1 year as do all the Commie Chinese lathes. The length of the factory provided warantee tells a lot about what they think of their own products. Yes... PMs are good machines but please... they may be manufactured by ethnic Chinese but those folks are not in mainland, communist, China.
Installed my Lift kit along with the mcarbo pro trigger kit on my Axis .223 and wow, feels like a completely different rifle. Got the bolt on handle as well, little lose with a dab of glue, took it off, the glue came off extremely easy which is excellent, put a good sized bit on both sides, and got it together, still a ever slight wiggle but seems to hold well. Luckily if i decide to go another option, cleanup is a breeze, overall very pleased.
My 1943 Izzy chokes on steel case, believe it or not. Hard to open the bolt and extract. New brass cycles fine. The steel case actually develops a crease after firing. I have polished the chamber with no cure.
I'm looking at getting this for my Axis II that I just purchased, and when I un-cocked the bolt, I cannot get the back of the BAS screw off no matter how much force I apply to the allen wrench. Any suggestions on this since I'm having such a hard time?
So I just bought from Walmart the Axis ll in 308 stainless steel... It has the linear groove at the base of the firing pin, and also has the loaded chamber indicator... Which kit is more appropriate, the universal kit or the 2019+ kit ? Or are they exactly the same ? Researching to buy... I appreciate your time spent in responding, thanks
OK I did that on your video from a year ago... and conclud it's 2019+ model kit that I need... Now I seen the black one for $17 on the website that starts with E (maneuvering around censorship) but do not see a stainless steel 2019+ model.... But do see the Universal kit in stainless steel.... I want stainless... Will you put that up for sale on the big E or not ? Thanks again !
So I haven't opened my bolt assembly up but can clearly see it's this firing pin pictured here in your video, because I clearly see the linear groove you pointed out... But strangly I see no green paint on the large spring, but I can only see about two coils of the spring... 🤷♂️ So my question is.... should I order the lift kit that's marketed as 2019+ or should I order the universal kit ? My application would be for a Walmart Savage Axis ll 308 in stainless steel with accu-trigger...which also has the loaded chamber indicator..... bought new one week ago. I appreciate your time spent in responding, thanks
How’s the shims holding up ? I’m seriously thinking about ordering them , my AX33 come pretty far out of tune can’t even shoot blazer vanes or tac driver vanes without rotating them , my riser blocks about a quarter of my sight housing too and nearest bow shops over a hour away
@@GrimstodDesh My apologies. I did not know. I deserve to feel like a trash human being I feel like right now. May God bless you in your fight against such a terrible disease.
Does anybody know what's the best no drill, no disassembly, Mosin Nagant Scope Mount? I have a M91/30 Mosin Nagant with only iron sights and I'm in the market for a reliable Scope Mount that does not require a disassembly of the Rifle.
Has there been any indication from Howa of a correction or improvement to the bolt face's firing pin hole diameter or are their factory rifles still blanking primers since this video? (This is why I like falling block, single shot rifles - no bolt aimed straight back at my face).
If you are adding the washer to your bolt. You do not need to modify the springs. Just make sure that you know when was your rifle was made and specific model.
Thanks for the detailed, informative, piece by piece assessment. So much for the naysayers who say the Patriot's bolt design is "dangerous". Too many internet keyboard jockeys out there. Overall, seems nicely designed to me. I really like the Patriot, but the only thing holding me back from getting one is they seem to be inconsistent from one rifle to the next. It seems they either shoot well under MOA, or their accuracy leaves a little to be desired. The good ones are really good and the bad ones...not so much. However, they do have a following and many people praise them and their accuracy. Overall though, there are some nice things to like about the Patriot: they have one of the smoother running bolts in a budget rifle (no doubt partly due to the decreased friction/contact of the fluting); they have a decent trigger that can be adjusted down to 2 lbs., which is rare for a budget rifle, or any mass produced rifle for that matter; the magazine has a proper 5-round capacity in the cartridges I would consider buying it in; and while the magazine is fully plastic, it's rigid, it loads nicely, and it snaps solidly and reassuringly into place. But most importantly, from everything I have heard about them, they have no real issues with feeding, extraction or ejection like some budget rifles do. Again, I'd love to get one, but their inconsistency prevents me from laying down my hard-earned cash. If I knew I was getting an accurate one, I'd buy it. I do like that they're made in America though, and hopefully they rectify their inconsistencies and minor quirks, if and when they come out with an updated Patriot in the future. What's your take on the Patriot overall, Grimstod Desh? Thanks for the video. Cheers.
