      New Vaquero Question...

      I recently purchased my first single action revolver as I was thinking of getting into cowboy action shooting and wanted to try the gun out for fit and feel. I got a Ruger "New Vaquero" .357/.38 in stainless steel with a 4" barrel. I have read that the New vaqueros have internal locks under...

      Adcor B.E.A.R. Elite cycling issues...

      experiment a little, take your rifle and shoot it starting at setting 4. if it cycles well using 4 then leave it there, if it short strokes switch to setting 3. jeep going through the settings until you find the one that works best for your ammo.

      they should have sent you a piece of paper with it that says which positions are less gas and which are more, basically instead of having a .223 setting and a 5.56 setting you will have a 1-4 setting. each successive setting will let more gasses through to the piston than the setting before it...

      Swiss K31 project, need help

      inside that nice shoebox looking case there are 8 wax paper sealed packages (bricks) each containing 6 boxes of 10 rounds. I got 3 of the 480 round packages for free with my rifle, which I traded a duffel bag full of random crap I had laying in the bottom of my closet to obtain, so I made out...

      if you are buying from samco and they have tho option still available spend the extra $20 for the special hand selected ones. they will pick you one that has the stock in pretty good condition

      Swiss K31 project, need help

      a "New" stock will be tough to come by. the swiss original stocks are all going to be used since the rifle hasn't been made since 1958. You can get a Boyd's reproduction stock but they require a lot of fitting to get them right (like most Boyd's stocks) and its hit and miss as to weather or not...

      Swiss K31 project, need help

      So I am working on glass bedding and fixing the minor fitting issues one by one. I am currently working on the buttplate. I need to do a bit of reshaping on the stock at the butt end as well as re-drilling the screw holes ( the top screw is at the wrong angle and the buttplate is attached...

      got the temporary shims put in place and took some pics. going to get 3 magazines tomorrow from the previous owner and I will have to clean the fire and water damage off of them. Next week I will order a bayonet and probably get the materials to do the glass bedding too.

      Adcor B.E.A.R. Elite cycling issues...

      yes, i contacted ADCOR customer service through their website. they told me to send my entire upper into them and they would look at it. they said it was a problem with the plating on the gas selector and they replaced it with the 4 position gas valve they usually put on the full auto version. I...

      Swiss K31 project, need help

      I got a beautiful walnut stock made by Boyd's Riflestocks from swissrifles1 and cant say thank you enough. the fit isn't perfect and will need some minor filing. the action will need to be glass bedded but I am going to put in some temporary shims for now so I can take her out for a test drive...

      $350 sounds about fair, I have seen them a little cheaper and I have seen them more expensive. when you get it dont forget to check under the buttplate to see if the soldier that it was issued to originally has his name and information on a tag inside.

      Swiss K31 project, need help

      After a couple days working on the rifle it is shaping up pretty nice... as you can see all of the rust and debris inside and out are gone, the blueing on the rifle is still in pretty good condition so I may not have to hot blue it. The bore is nice and shiny and the muzzle crown is...

      the question remains....Do any of you Milsurp guys know if the barrel bands from the Schmidt Rubin 1911 or 1889 rifles work on the Schmidt Rubin K31? and where can I find a buttplate?

      actually a couple of days working with 0000 steel wool and oil as well as using a brass brush and some NeverDull in the bore has removed the surface rust and cleaned out the soot and debris. the barreled receiver and all functional parts seem to be in great order now. the challenge is replacing...
