A couple of Mod 41 questions

[sceva]

Well, I finally splurged on myself and I have a VERY FINE condition in box Model 41 5.5" heavy barrel on the way to me ( S/N A194xxx so 1972 ). It has the paperwork, tools, three magazines and a nearly perfect box.

I will use only Std velocity ammo in it.

My questions :

Should I go ahead and get a buffer tech. buffer for it?

Ammo. I am aware that CCI SV is the ammo to use. However, I have a sealed brick of Federal 711B std velocity from an earlier project.

Has anyone had any experience with the 711B in a Mod 41? I figure if it feeds and shoots OK I should be ine with it.

I've used 711B in my 41's it worked just fine, but I still stay with CCI Standard. Use the 711B in my custom Ruger 10/22.

With your parameters, buffer not necessary but will not hurt if it does not interfear in feeding. Fedral should be fine but CCI finer.

Thanks Tom, I was hoping you would chime in.

I'll pick up some CCI SV whan available ( Local shop is out ) and won't worry about the buffer unless I see one locally or I am placing an order anyway. I don't mind the 9.95 but 5-7 shipping is too much just for the buffer.

Champion Shooters Supply , Champions Choice & Grice Gun Shop usually have the best case prices on CCI SV . The paper packed is cheaper . Just make sure they have clear plastic " keeper " with no legs & bullets are black / dark grey . Some of the paper packed was Federal produced with a white keeper with legs , not what you want .

.... Fedral should be fine but CCI finer.

Well maybe, but the relevant test is what sceva's 41 likes best.

You may want to try shooting several brands to see what "your" 41 likes. They are different. I have tried many brands in mine and had issues with Federal, Remington and Eley Match. Had FTF's and stovepipes until I tried CCI Green Tag. In all of the practice rounds and matches shot in my bullseye league, I never had any problems with the Green Tag.

Your gun may like something else.
