doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion Classic & Custom Single Barreled Sporting Rifles @ doublegunshop.com Found my first dangerous low-numbered 1903.

I still have a few low-number actions that I would not object to trying some different experiments on.

I'm not sure what else to do that would tell us anything new.

I've tried the failed case but might try it in another way. What if I annealed the head of a case until it was dead soft so it would flow, might the pressure get a bit higher before it ruptured? After the one action squirted out two 8mm bullets I was at a loss.

When I blew up a Krag and helped on a trapdoor I learned a lot about how strong and what these old rifles will take.

I'm open to suggestions!
