The other thing of interest is reading about meetings between Eisenhower and his generals, and the depth of strategy the president was actually involved in. His decisions weren't perfect, but he clearly understood the doctrine of war, and the equipment and issues soldiers faced. His current replace...

Hi all,

I'm a little late in responding having just returned from ten days in Bali. Many thanks for your thoughts.

Who makes cases for .32-40 now, or do you have to make them from .38-55s or .375 Win?

I usually use 30-30 cases but was able to buy new Winchester 32-40 brass last year. As I understand it, they only do runs of it every few years.

Ah, I think foreign is the operative word there, as in, they weren't French.

Their officers are French as are about 25% of their rank & file.

Very interesting - particularly the operation of the T&S. "To operate the action of the gun the hammer was placed on half cock, and a thumb release catch was depressed on the rear of the receiver. This allowed the shooter to rotate the forward half of the receiver to the right (clockwise) a...

Bruce Scott

Agreed. I don't know who added the handwritten note but if they're referring to the all up weight of the canvas it has to be way off.

Edit: On reflection, it's more likely to be 18 oz canvas ( i.e., 18 oz per sq yard), which makes for almost 15 3/4 lbs all up.

Maybe a piece of scrim netting?

There was also the NZ designed Charlton LMG based on the SMLE:

The trigger on this one is similar to my 96 Mauser. Two distinct smooth stages, the first quite long but neither of them at all heavy. The mag disconnect is still in place.

Perry,

I was after a 9mm for range use and had in mind either a CZ or Tanfoglio when I spotted this at the right price.

Hi Red,

I am in the same boat, being perfectly happy with round apertures. It might be interesting to try one though.

There is also this hexagonal aperture designed to 'hit the target without focusing on the sight', which is what we do anyway:

I have one. I picked it up in very much 'as new' condition about five years ago. I emailed Kriegeskorte at the time and was told it is a Model 302 Stutzen and was shipped from their factory in 1965. The barrel is stamped 'Kriegeskorte & Co Stuttgart". It is a superbly accurate rifle. Krico ...

I use them like an old service pull-through, ie, with a patch in the end loop. I keep changing the patch until it comes out clean. I guess I sort of missed the concept but I figured that the thick cord and brush loosen the fouling and the patch drags it out. I finish with an oiled patch in the loop ...
