How often were M48's actually used in the former-yugo countries during their various conflicts after the wall fell?

>>29538196
Not often they had AKs and SKS

Just got the cosmoline off this little baby.

Vaguely related, what is the current least respected surplus rifle that is still cheap as shit and doesn't fire a snowflake round? I'd prefer semi auto but I'll look into whatever long as it's less than what the old meme guns go for now. I want to get in on the ground floor.

Suprisingly /pol/ sorta had a Milsurp thread today. Was breddy cool

I have an AG42b that I recently acquired, but I've been told most commercial loads are a no-no... What do I do for ammo for this thing? I kinda wanted a historic BR that wouldnt break the bank too bad, but it appears ammo is a big problem with this gun

This is probably the best thread to ask. How unique is it to acquire a type 56 Chinese sks made pre Vietnam era with Albanian trench art? I ordered one of those sks' from jgsales and was expecting a beat up red stock on mine. I ended up with a beech wood stocked type 56 with names carved in on the left, and some names picked into the wood with the tip of a blade on the right.

>>29542916
Sell it, get a hakim. Basically an ag42 that's capable of firing 8mm mauser of most types due to the adjustable gas system.

what are some neat cold war era optics that arent retardedly expensive.
I want something strange looking to mount on my PTR other than a qwik point (which is in the mail already).

>>29541663
Bad Dragon packs with cosmoline now? Damn, their shipping standards have picked up considerably.

Balkan surplus on my m70ab2. I have three sets but this is the most interesting.

>>29543488
no one?

>>29542916
Look for Egyptian surplus 8mm, it was made for the hakim so it should be mild enough for your gun, I'm no expert so I'd research this first.

Pic related, look for the purple around a berdan primer and the squiggles

They're pretty much a gun you have to reload for. I know some get away with shooting PPU though. Just be sure you use European made brass. The American made brass uses a slightly smaller diameter case heads. Ljungmans are already known to rip off the case heads even with proper ammo.

Turkish Mausers are chambered in 8mm Mauser, right? Is there anything I should know about them before buying one?

>>29546496
The originals were in what we now call 7.65 Argentine. They pretty much converted those all to 7.92 (AKA 8mm Mauser) though. You aren't going to find one in their original chambering.

One of my friends has a Polish steel helmet with what is presumably the former owner's name in the liner.

Is it a M1903 Springfield made in 1917 or a M1917?

Tula 51' SKS

Rifle is in good condition, but there's an "A" carved in a discrete place behind the receiver.

>>29538173
Don't have any sources but I've read posts where people claim that they were used in marksmen roles with scopes. But that's about it. I can't find much evidence without really digging far into it. I'm sure you could find something, but this was in the 90's. If you were using something not an AK, it was probably an SKS (despite a lot of them being in good condition imported).

But the problem is I don't do any reloading at all, and am not really ready to start either. I have heard of people using PPU as well, but I just don't know how safe that is. Is any of the surplus safe to use? (if I can find any)

Ya I'm guessing there's a lower handguard floating around out there with "mala" carved on it. Too bad they its all mixed up, the pistol grip had a man's name carved in it too

Anyone else collect ammo in bluk?

>>29547383
P83 is a superior gun in every way, while as authentically Radom, for the same money.

Is there an AK-74 equivalent to the Balkan war set? I need battle scarred furniture for my DDI-74

>>29551135
That is really cool.

>>29551143
What ammo are you looking to "collect"?

>>29551207
I really liked the set, too bad I accidentally ordered yugo m70 furniture when I only owned a WASR. Ended up giving them to a random anon in a thread similar to this.

>>29547383
Literal 9 year old hands

>>29551213
Collectable 30-06 like shit from WW1 and stuff like that. I dont know I just like to have a lot from different places. Example Austrian, Danish, US.C.Co. from 1918

>>29551264
I don't know that your going to find bulk ammo from that long ago. Even ww2 has mostly dried up

>>29551301
WW2 GI stuff is still around, but people are fucking asking 1.20 a round for it. But retards still pay for it

>>29551361
I miss the days of surplus Greek M2 ball 30-06 for 50¢/rd

>>29551374

let's see that disgusting import mark to highlight how much you fucked up

Get some bronze wool and soak the rust in oil for awhile and scrap the rust all off.

Do you have a pic like this? I can tell you the series and manufacturer that made it if you do.

>>29552293
I wouldn't pay that much for one, but some people are crazy.

>>29549778
>Is there any reason not to get a Greek Mannlicher?
Sounds like a good way to get AIDS.

>>29552440
Ah, it's a 31st series made by Toyo Kogyo. Fun fact, Toyo Kogyo changed their company name to the brand name of the car they produced in the 70s or 80s: Mazda. The bayonet was either made by Kokura or Tokyo arsenal. They both used the same symbol.

Yeah, found out it was the Toyo Kogyo, but the symbol for series was kinda hard to tell, the marking looked kinda smudged. Whats the marking under the chrysanthemum mean? As well as the small marking right after the manufacture mark?

>>29552566
>Whats the marking under the chrysanthemum mean?
It says, 9, 9 Type.

>As well as the small marking right after the manufacture mark?

The symbol to the left of the serial number is the series mark. The ones to the right is the symbol for Kokura arsenal and Toyo Kogyo. Toyo Kogyo was subcontracted by Kokura arsenal.

>>29552587
I was referencing the really small one to the right of the manufacture mark, seems like it good be a proof mark or something couldn't find anything about it on the internet.

What ammo do you shoot for yours? I don't reload at all so I guess ill be looking at 1.50 per round ammo.

>>29552644
Oh, that one. It says Hiro, as in Hiroshima. That's where the factory was located. It's just a factory inspection mark.

Do you mean a Turkish in 7.65 or just any Mauser in 7.65?

>>29559955
Just the original Turkish Mausers were in 7.65. Germany sent them many more in 8mm during WWI and after the war the Turks standardized on that caliber. Pretty much any left in their original chambering was captured and brought back as a trophy making them rare. Original Turk Mausers are actually one of the hardest to find WWI guns, ironically.

>>29555975
Scratches on the magazine pouch.
It looks like it starts with M, but I can't make the rest out.

Sorry for the shitty pic.
