Gauges are ordered. Anyone know how long they usually take?

Thanks for the replies guys. It was great to revisit this thread. I set the rifle and got it all ready but hadn't gotten around to ordering my gauges. I am going to do that now. Can't wait to take it out for the first time

I am wanting to get a nice set of scope covers for my PU. What do you all recommend? I saw the leather ones, as well as the canvas bag type on ebay, however I am not thrilled with the idea of long term storage of a scope within a leather cap. (bc, leather can cause pitting.) Do any of you have any r...

I'm looking for that also. 1944 PU sniper.

Thanks for all of the input, I finally had a few minutes to clean some of the cosmoline off, recenter the optic, and do a quick field cleaning of the chamber and bolt. I am really surprised by how clean this weapon is. It honestly looks brand new, (with a few exceptions on the stock.) I think that I...

I wonder if you can rent them somewhere? That would be nice. Pay say $10. To test them. And then send back.

Any advice on the above question about headspace gauges?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am working to get this rifle in firing shape. As I understand it is a really good idea to check the headspace? Is a no-go gauge enough to ensure it is safe? Or should I order a full blown set of them? Go, no-go, field. I have never used a gauge before, so I am assuming that a no-go would be adequa...

Thanks

That is all fantastic advice. I have extensively hunted other types of game. Just never deer. In fact I have been licensed in several states, and countries actually. Haha I have had a lot of training. Both official and real world. With that said, I won't ever hunt a new species alone for the first t...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Lee, do you happen to have a link for that discussion? I can't seem to find it. Thanks for the general info pages, I am going to enjoy reading up on them.

I may have posted this in the wrong subforum, so here is the link.

Also, I have never Deer hunted before. Partially because I did not have a proper weapon. Would this be adequate at that?

Cheers.

So I take it that's a good thing? I can't wait to read up on them. Thanks for the help! Care to share any of the cliffs notes, on pro's / cons. dos and don'ts etc.

Couldn't get this post to work.. Reposted below. Thanks for the 640x480 tip... One file was corrupted during compression.

I posted a long reply not sure if it went through. I am still on probation here, so it wont post my stuff right away.

I will post some photos later today when I get home. Also, there are two numbers carved by hand into the scope mount. One matches the stamped serial numbers on the rifle. The second number matches what is on the scope. The windage and elevation knobs have two screws in them with rounded heads. Sent ...
