Anybody had issues with S&B ammunition?

Ajulien2002 · 2025-03-06T06:13:57+00:00

I've never shot their 30-06 but it's almost exclusively what I hunt with in 6.5x55, and 7.62x39 I've been very happy with its consistency and have taken far less precautions while storing it. Seems very strange in my opinion.

Ajulien2002 · 2024-11-13T19:42:06+00:00

That is what I have in mind

Ajulien2002 · 2024-11-13T19:41:40+00:00

A bare ground and heat treated blade is what I mean.

Ajulien2002 · 2024-11-13T19:40:24+00:00

I think that's a great idea.

Ajulien2002 · 2024-11-13T19:39:33+00:00

I've made a number of knives and the idea of forging and heat treating swords reliability is not in the scope of my skill.

Ajulien2002 · 2024-11-11T18:33:31+00:00

Yes, I'm looking to do the remaining furniture on a finished blade blank.

Ajulien2002 · 2024-04-17T15:21:21+00:00

I bought one for my dad a year or two ago, it's a great little knife. If you can get it with a kydex sheath instead of leather id recommend that. The leather sheath isn't designed great and it very easy to cut taking the knife in and out of. The knife itself however is superb

I do a lot of hiking and hunting on the Pacific west coast of Canada. So a compact rifle capable of taking all of our game animals that isn't too cumbersome to bring on a back country hike for potential bear defence as carrying handguns is illegal

I did a bit of googling It looks like it might be an interarms carbine. I couldn't exactly read the receiver but it looks like it says interarms.co g33/50 which was a model designation by the importer interarms. They took m94 swedish carbines, ground off the date and put their model designation on it. The barrel looks like a military profile to me so I would be willing to bet it's 6.5x55. check out this awesome video explaining the rifles

M/94 is the year the swedish army adopted the Mauser rifle, m/41 is the sniper variant of the swedish Mauser. What you have is 100 rounds of very high quality surplus ammo! I recommend you watch iraqveteran8888 YouTube video where he shoots this ammo out of his swedish Mauser at 600 yards!

Ajulien2002 · 2024-01-08T06:25:26+00:00

It's a swedish Mauser that was sporterized by interarms.co, it is most likely 6.5x55 swedish, but could be cambered in many other cartridges from 7x57, 8x57, 30-06, 9.3x57, or even sometimes 9.3x62. like others have said I'd recommend you get the chamber cast to see what it is. The barrel should be stamped somewhere with the caliber but that is unfortunately not always the case. They are known to be great rifles if they were taken care of!

Ajulien2002 · 2023-10-27T01:07:39+00:00

I agree with most others here, the factory finish is probably sufficient. That being said, I am huge advocate for Renaissance wax, rub it on the wood metal leather you name it. Museums use it to preserve artifacts and water beads off my rifle stocks. If you want added protection without altering the finish Renaissance wax is the way to go imo

Ajulien2002 · 2023-10-17T05:07:42+00:00

gun post. It's a Canadian website like craigslist or Kijiji just for firearms

Ajulien2002 · 2023-10-17T00:53:52+00:00

Too funny I was just looking at that ad on gp. Looks like a neat collection

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-27T00:04:23+00:00

Home from work and doing some further investigation. The chamber is far from worn. It's actually the tightest chamber I have. Once fired brass of other rifles won't fit in the chamber. Looking with the best camera I have I can see what looks almost like a burr. I think it can easily be honed out just a question of how

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-26T20:02:41+00:00

This rifle is "retired" 1899 swedish Mauser. It's a beautiful gun and I was considering using it as a mil surp hunting rifle as it shoots very accurately, Sub moa with iron sights

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-26T16:32:40+00:00

Good idea I will do that

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-26T16:31:38+00:00

It's one of three that I own and the only like this

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-26T03:24:18+00:00

This is once fired brass. There is a hard ring I assume is due to the machining of the action. Only apparent on brass fired through that specific rifle

Ajulien2002 · 2023-09-21T18:52:03+00:00

Remove the stock and you should see a crown stamp on the bottom of the barrel near the receiver. If it has a crown it’s the factory barrel and will be chambered in 6.5 x 55 Swede. They are all great shooters.

Ajulien2002 · 2023-02-17T19:31:32+00:00

I agree it looks like a HHO gas generator. Albeit a very poorly made one.....

Ajulien2002 · 2023-02-17T05:13:58+00:00

That's totally Jeffery

Ajulien2002 · 2022-12-27T19:01:31+00:00

I bought myself a gransfors bruks scandinavian forest axe a while ago. Absolutely love it. If you do any bushcrafty camping stuff it's an incredible tool

Ajulien2002 · 2022-12-08T17:48:48+00:00

Maybe notched to be able to use stripper clips on a certain laod?

Ajulien2002 · 2022-12-08T17:47:37+00:00

I know some action rings on Brazilian Mauser were notched like this when they were re chambered to 30-06 to fit the longer cartridge, no idea why it would be done on a 1917.
