    One thing I am curious about is why my stock Has # stamped on bought sides different #'s. It has the big S stamped on top of the barrel And that I be leave was done when they converted Some rifles over to 8/56. ?.maybe when it was in different Arsenal s they restamped the stock.?. These old rifle's are fun to try and figure out.

    Just came back from the shop. Picked up another box Of hornady ammo. Had them look for a bullet supplyer Of .329 dia. Bullets came up O. He has a drawer full of the clips. I won't run out of them. The bore looks really good. The dies are on order. But won't be much good With out tips. Carry On.

    Called the shop it's a 8/56 and he has ammunition there From looking at some loading data it Push's a 200 Gr.bullet around 2300. That's better than some 35 rem's.

    Every old military rifle has a story to tell They are a rich part of our history every bit as much as any state blue and gold sign along our highway s. That say George Washington was hear. They need to be saved. Some brave Serviceman carryed it into battle.

    I always had hunting dogs wile growing up till I went into the service. I had coon dogs and or beagles. It would scare me to death today to turn my dog loose Ware I live anymore. , to much traffic on even on my back roads. You can't walk 50 yds. With out passing a dead critter that's ware my rabbit or dog would be.

    Anybody here ever pick up a old military rifle that someone sporterized and return it back to the way it was when it was carryed on the battle field. I just finished one. A long branch #4 Mk1 *. Still have a few thing for it..l need to pick up. I know I posted some of this before. Was hopeing Some other guys would tell us about their project. I think I should make this a new post. So I don't change the topic of hunting.

    It shouldn't be to bad with varmit loads. I use to load custom bullets in my rigby they were 41 mag pistol Bullets HP. That was reworked a little and had a Polly Tip put in the HP. All said and done it came out about 198 gr,s. You don't have to use a compressed powder charge.
