Well I was good. I waited until after Christmas to fire off the Swede, had to get in a shooting session before it turned 101. I picked up two boxes of PMC FMJ, and one box of Federal JSP they were both in the 140 grain range, I don't remember exactly. The PMC shot fine, but the primers were a little flattened out. The Federal ammo shot even better, and the primers showed no such problem. I must admit I was a little perplexed buy this as I have always had great luck with PMC, hell I recommend it in 45 auto. The cases showed no other signs of problems, but I might have had a little left over oil in the thing, as I didn't give it the 100% clean job prior.
Anyway, It shot superbly. I didn't punch any paper (I hate shooting paper), but down in the holler were my buddy throws all this crap I managed to shoot off every oven knob I aimed at 50 yards or so. One shot, one knob. I only shot about 6 shells since I wanted to clean it up better, after the primer thing, and I ran out of oven knobs.
I brought it home, and was going to take it out of the wood, and give it the 100% clean job, all surplus rifles get eventually. I got the barrel bands off, man those things are hard to push in. Once I did that (pleased with myself that I figured that part out) I went fore the screws on the trigger guard assy. I got the one closest to the barrel, man it was tight, I went for the next one, and I couldn't do it. It's got a little liquid wrench on it now, so hopefully it will loosen up. Any suggestions?
BTW, I read up on the disk markings and it appears that it shoots, 0" over at 100 yards, and it's been down graded to a #2 bore. I think that is what it means anyway.
