seems overpriced for a MAS36 unless it just came out of a secret pristine cache.

>>30325374
30-06 has a bit more booty on it than 308. 308 ammo is cheaper tho.

I just took my Garand to the range for the first time and it seemed like it was ejecting a little week. After the eighth round the en bloc clip pops up maybe eight inches if that. My buddy's launches it into the roof over the firing line. Should I mess with it or leave it?

What's the average price for a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1?

Enfield No4 Mk3?
My local gun store has an Mk1 for significantly lower than an Mk3. So low that I think there might be something wrong with it.

How are the prices on ammo for various milsurp guns? None of them are exactly cheap in the US with surplus nuggetfood dried up.

>>30325326
Go for the Swede, M38s are lots of fun, and you don't really have to worry about pressure the way you do with the M94s/M96s. 6.5x55 is not that hard to find ammo or components for either.

Was the type 53 Chinese variant of the m44 mosin better or worse?

>>30326786
Better than mid-war "oh fuck the Germans are coming" slapdash Mosins, not significantly better than ones with proper QC.

>>30326786
with the soft ass chu wood or whatever the chinese used, i would say worse

>>30326729
I don't know off the top of my head, its locked in my safe atm but thats a good question

>>30326820
>>30326786

Depends, even if the Chinese ones are of slightly higher build quality than 42/43 mosins, the Russians generally took better care of their rifles. Most type 53s I've seen have sewer pipe barrels and look like they've been used as boat oars/anchors at some point. The Russians at least would rearsenal guns that needed repairs badly.

>>30326874
Even if it is a 3, the swede armorers were pretty picky. I've seen M94s with 3 class barrels give very impressive groups at 300yrds. My class 2 m96 is pretty impressive at 600yrds for a 110yr old rifle.

>>30326929
hm, that's a shame. I was hoping to get an m44/variant for ~200$ but the ones i've seen for sale online are 300

I learned to shoot on an M44 when I was 8. Still have that rifle, probably won't ever sell it.

But they are a bit crap. Even good ones normally can't be trusted out to 200yrds. If you must have a mosin, get a 91/30, or any of the earlier models. If you must have a carbine, consider other models of gun entirely.

If you do not have someone to coach you, I would say no. It can be expensive to get ammo, may require you to do occasional repairs, and if you are a wuss it may hurt your delicate shoulder.

Get a cheap 223 bolt action, and put several thousand rounds through it. You'll have something more interesting than a 22lr, and ammo will still be cheap.

>>30325599
>and you don't really have to worry about pressure the way you do with the M94s/M96s.
Ehh, they were more modern as long as they weren't converted 96s but in service the Swedish made no distinction. That said you don't have to worry about pressure in a Swedish Masuser, to my knowledge the only companies that load too hot for them are Lapua and Norma that makes hot hunting and target ammo where the round still the most popular, in Scandinavia.

I don't think the steel used was any different from earlier rifles but some people say that the quality control and manufacturing was better than at Carl Gustavs, if that's possible, other say it was the other way around. I could see how it might have included more modern practices, but who knows if that would have resulted in a stronger rifle.

The main thing to remember is it's a small ring and not a large ring.

neat. they are fun shooters if you can get the gas adjusted correctly, I have 2 shooters kits and neither works well, so mine will be safe queens until I figure a good light power load that will still cycle them.

What should I be looking at price wise for a decent non last ditch type 99? Would a type 38 be harder to get ammo for?

>>30327866
200-300$

yes

>>30327866
Neither is gonna have cheap/reliably available ammo.

Also $350 is good price for either, but they can go up a good bit depending on condition, arsenal, accessories, Etc.

>>30327874
>>30327888
Any major difference in shootability or cool factor for either of the two?

>>30328021
The 99 has better sights, and to me is cooler because of the monopod and AA sights, but I think the 6.5 is a better caliber and has a much better selection of bullets for reloading (which you absolutely should do). So the 38 would be more practical, and the 99 more stylish.

>>30328021
type 99 comes with more dongles.

AA sights, monopod, plus its slightly shorter for tiny Japanese man hands so it makes a good innawoods rifle.

Ammo availability is shit all around

I may have an opportunity to pick up a carcano carbine... what's an average price? I'm seeing collector rifles going for $500+ and some for $150. This one is missing the bayonet and looks like it has not seen oil in 50 years...

You already answered your own question then: $150.

Enfield Mk4 from 1887. has Nepalese runes on the buttstock so I assume it spent time there. Got the spike bayonet from a collector who was super happy to see some young kid like me interested in the gun. Shits SUPER satisfying dropping the lever and ejecting the spent shell. I have about 20 old ass Kynoch loads from like the 50's. only had 1 dud

Unfired Polish M44 1953 for $265 at the local gunstore. They're all hunting oriented and didn't know what they had.

Shitty smartphone doesn't do it justice. The bluing is so glossy.

Yes I fire it.

>>30329618
>unfired
Can we please stop using that term? They were all sighted in at the factory. Maybe unissued, but not unfired. Also, is the bolt marching?

>>30329517
Mostly seeing if it's sporterized or refinished. If not then it'll be fine.

>>30329517
Eddystone used a hydraulic torque wrench to install the barrels. Some of the recievers ended up with small cracks in the threaded area because of the forces involved. Make sure to check and if rebarreleing take extra care.

They must be pretty dumb then. There was Never a No4 Mk3. The no4 series only went up to mk2. The No1 rifles went from Mk. I, II, III, III*, V, VI.

Research a little on wikipedia or youtube.

>>30335347
Looks like it's a typo and they fixed it now, a whole 2 weeks later.

So is the Mk1 supposed to be worth less than half the value of the Mk2?

The Mk2 is selling for just under $600
The Mk1 is a little above $200.

Guy wants to straight trade my 91/30 for a k kale mauser. Yes or no?

>>30336478
Depends on condition and what arsenal it came from, but yeah that may be fair.

>>30336478
No.4 Mk.2s are made post-WWII and are usually in good condition due to them not being used in war. The Mk.1s were made during WWII and were used. That being said, all prices are dependent on condition. 200$ for a no.4 mk.1 seems too good to be true. Have you checked the bores on the rifles?

>>30336534
I'm going there to check when I have the time. I got notified via some mailing list thing they have though they haven't responded to my email asking for info yet.

That's why I thought the unusually low price meant there is something wrong. I wouldn't be surprised if it was sporterized or some shit like that.

What should a "good" bore look like?

Not the anon you're replying to, but is it frowned upon to bring a bore snake with you to clean it, if the bore looks dirty?

>>30337726
I'm not sure on that but I e requested to have a bore cleaned at my lgs and a box store and they did. I also bring my own bore light or mirror. They usually don't have one or really care if you look, but people always seem surprised when I actually look a weapon over.

Not hard, but ammo is a bit trickier. Unless you reload (which you should). Seriously, get a Mas 36. Best bolt gun of the war. Actually, fuck that. Best infantry bolt gun period.

>>30339586
What makes you say its the best bolt gun of the war? I'm a different anon, but I'm not too familiar with them

>>30339608
Sights, trigger, simplicity, bolt handle placement, action strength, reliability, weight and overall length. Some rifles might do some things better (like capacity for the Enfield) but overall it's the best. The only thing it does wrong is you can't adjust windage yourself.

Where do I go now that my military surplus burned down

Is it easier/cheaper (non reloading) to feed an 8mm mauser over a 6.5 swede? I have a Ljungman and I was contemplating picking up a swedish m38 mauser to pair with it, but at the same time I'm not sure if I want to have two of the same caliber especially when there are so many other mausers out there... Contemplating a decent Type 99 Arisaka or maybe a mas 36 instead... thoughts?

>>30339899
Don't get an Arisaka or a Mas if you don't want to reload.

>>30339899
6.5 Swede is ~$1/rnd

>>30339937
hows 8mm running? Surplus or not, It would be a shooter

>>30339925
How much do I really save if I start reloading?

>>30339955
Using Sportsman's Guide as my guideline looks around the same, though I could be wrong, haven't looked much into either recently

>>30339966
My reloads for 7.5 French are $0.32/rnd
At best you can find factory ammo for $0.75/rnd, usually $1.25/rnd.

For 7.7 Arisaka, it'd be about $0.45/rnd for a handload (the 7.5 Mas uses 308 bullets so that saves a bit compared to the .311 for the Arisaka) and the cheapest 7.7 factory ammo I can find is $1.40/rnd.

So for milsurp calibers you can save $1/rnd or more.

>>30339650
Okay buddy. I had a mas36 and I can say that the trigger was pretty shit. As bad as my worst Mosin trigger. The sights were better than average but the front post was too fat. Also, rear locking lugs reeeeeeee.
