    Rifle zero

    How many of you have rifles where elevation zero has matched up with the correct setting on the rear sight?

    Example: poa = poi at 100m using the 1 setting or 300m using 3 setting.

    All my rifles zero’s seem wack.

    • Mosin and Lee enfield hit dead on at 100m on 3 setting (enfield large aperture is unusable)

    • k98 is wicked high at 100m on 1 setting

    • k31 seems to be pretty accurate to 100m on 1 setting

    I’ve been able to make consistent hits out to 300m with all but the k98 once I know the hold, but it’s frustrating that the rifles weren’t zeroed to match elevation settings. While watching 9 hole reviews, it seems as though the rifles shot have perfect zeroes that line up with the corresponding distance. Anybody else have a similar experience?

    Questions about C&R License Responsible Person

    Hey guys,

    For the responsible person section, do I as the License holder need to fill that out too? I'm assuming anyone else at this address needs to as well.

    I have restored a 1914 Enfield drill rifle and an M1 Carbine from just the receiver. Is this a good option for a good solid ishapore restoration, thinking of stripping the Drill Rifle and combining with the barreled receiver yo get a solid rifle. Thoughts?

    What do I have here fellas?

    Over 10 years ago I bought a Revolutionary War print from Goodwill, and behind the brown paper on the back was this roll call.

    I’d love to know what I have, I can’t find anything about the “Supreme Order of the Cloak and Dagger”

    Going Rate For A Spanish FR-8?

    Just a quick question, I have a coworker offering me a Spanish FR-8 (mint condition with sling and bayonet). We are trying to work out a price and we can’t figure out what the going rate is for one. What’s a fair price for us to both be happy?

    Can you take sks parts off a sporterized one and put an original wood stock on it?

    I'm just curious because depending on the deal, it might theoretically be a taint hair cheaper. All of the norinco ones are like $550+
