Numrcich has the clips for $3.40 each. I bought 12 and the shipping was $8.50 for a total of $48.50. All of them but one looked new. The one is a little rusty.

72,When did you buy the clips for 3.40??? They seem to have charged me considerably more:confused:.

Range Report: M95 Steyer.

I loaded 20 grains of 4198 behind the 100 grain Lebel revolver bullet. I started out on the 25 yard range to see where it was shooting. I shot a good group well centered on the black dot with the first 5 shots.

Moved to the 50 yard line and a friend of mine shot 5 shots standing. Again a group that you would expect from standing except about 3 inches low.

Moved to the 100 yard line and fired 10 shots. Raised the ladder sight to the first notch and had a good zero. None of the bullets keyholed  and seemed to shoot well considering I can only see a ghost of the front sight and cannot see the rear sight at all.

The only problem of the morning was a shot that only fired the primer driving the bullet far enough into the rifling that it had to be driven out with a rod and a hammer.

Thereafter I made sure that the powder was back against the primer and had no further problem. I expected to have cycleing problems after the action was filled with 4198 but the first couple shots were a little gritty but that smoothed up and it worked well.

I have a Cetme and its the sweetest 308 semi-auto.  It feels like a 22lr with recoil its that smooth.  The only drawback is the charging handle other wise its an awesome rifle.

Its a century arms rifle that didn't get screwed up, a few made it thru.
