its clean, the dark is just from minor pitting. maybe you can use a brass brush to scrub it a bit but in order to get a mirror shine you will need to polish the surface somehow

Took my Vz.98 to the range this morning. It did not split the barrel. Great success.

please excuse the silly question, but I've been told by a veteran who now collects milsurp that brushes are fairly gimmicky, and that you can achieve with a simple rag and oil what you can with a brush as long as you're not lazy. How would the brush benifit me here?

The only difference in how the Czechs made them is that the Vz.98 stock doesn't have grasping grooves like a wartime Gew.98 stock does.

My mauser is battle zeroed at 400 meters. How high will it shoot at 100?

Depends on the loading, but something like this: 20 rounds of Turkish surplus at a half-scale B-27 silhouette. I was placing the entire silhouette on top of the front sight.

Do this: cut off a finger of a Nitrile or latex exam glove, and rubber band it onto the muzzle. Put the gun muzzle down, and flood the bore with Hoppes #9. Let it sit for a couple of days. Drain it and then clean it.

>>32411071

If you want to 'reset' a bore to pretty much bare steel, you need a brass/bronze brush, and multiple cleaners. Something like:

> Wet patch with Breakfree CLP / G96 gun treatment
> Brush 20x full strokes
> Patch until dry

> Fill bore with Gunslick foaming bore cleaner
> wait 20 minutes or so
> Patch until dry

> Wet patch with M-Pro 7 cleaner
> Brush 20x times
> Patch until dry

> Repeat process until bore no longer improves. Run and oil patch through bore and go drink a beer.

This process takes a long time, but each cleaner works a little bit differently, and removes a different fouling component (CLP for powder residue, Gunslick for copper, M-Pro to help loosen hard carbon / all of the above).

Shooters Choice / Kroil is a good choice too, instead of the CLP. You might not need the foaming bore cleaner if you use that particular combination.

>>32411216
Fuddlore, guy is a dumbass. A lot of fouling in these guns isn't going to come out without a metal brush,you got multiple layers of copper and powder fouling that layered up, possibly over decades. Think a sandwich of copper, corrosive powder residue, and more copper underneath it.

you mean like to stack several rifles in a pyramid? if so, then why not use the traditional stacking peg found on older rifles?

>>32413774
I dunno, that's just what it's used for. Maybe it's less likely to snag or something.

My goal is to own the main rifle of every major nation in ww2 (main 3 axis and main 3 allies, doesn't count if your country got fucked in 2 months). I just started honestly and only have an Enfield and a mosin, my question is should I go ahead and get a k98 or just go ahead and buy a carcano and an arisaka at the same time?

What's a good price to look for a k98 in 7.62 NATO for?

Is 425 a fair price to pay for a nice condition Yugo m59/66a1 SKS with the grenade launcher attachment and night sights? My local pawn shop has one and I already talked them down $100 on it and am wondering if I should get my self one for Christmas. Anybody here have experience with this particular type of SKS? All I know is they don't have chrome lines barrels, is this a deal breaker for this kind of rifle?

>>32411071
That's just how Milsurp rifles are especially the old ones like the Mosin Nagants, K98s, Enfields, etc. Any weapon that's been in service for 50+ years. I several of each and the best I ever got was an M44 with a mirror bright bore from a shop. The rest I've bought were in varying levels of shot out and the cleanest I've ever gotten a bore is a dull grey. As long as it has nicely defines rifling it should shoot fine. Just make sure to clean it every time you shoot corrosive ammo in it and it should last many more years of shooting.

>>32417369
Yugos are fine, but have unlined barrels so clean thoroughly after shooting dirty or surplus ammo

It's probably because it's cheaper and easier to make.

Can someone explain to me wtf moly coated bullets are for? Federal makes 6.5x55 cartridges with coated bullets and they were the only ones I found at my LGS so I bought them. Now that I'm reading online about them they sound questionable as fuck. I shot like 10 of them to sight in my M96 and they shot fine, but I'm worried that I fucked up by shooting them at all.

>>32418672
It's just a molybdenum coating over the bullet that target shooters use to get a little more accuracy. However. If you shoot moly bullets and copper interchangeably then you'll run into accuracy problems because moly and copper fouling don't play nicely together

>>32418769
But they're safe to shoot? I don't really give a fuck about accuraccy problems but I read about corrosion problems and micro erosion in the throat or some shit that I'm too stupid to understand

>>32418861

If you are buying common, not really WWII correct examples, then it doesn't matter really. You can buy them easily. If you are buying as correct of examples as possible (hard to find and expensive), do LOTS of research and buy whatever is the best example you com across on your to-buy list first. And then eventually you'll have gotten them all

I saw an 1895 Chilean Mauser the other day for a decent price, but it was rechambered by the Chilean military to 7.62x51. Looking online at how they rechambered them (not re-barreled), I'm a bit unsure about the safety of the change:

that's so true, I cleaned my bore to a mirror finish a month ago, and once I took it out of the safe, it had a forming layer of rust or something

All depends on what kind of Turk you get. They're generally in rough condition, or weren't particularly well-assembled when they were rebuilt, but sometimes even 90 years of neglect can't tarnish a real jem, like this Czech/Turkish Vz.98/22 for instance.

Yugos are usually found in better condition tho.

personally I'd rather just go the extra mile and get an imperial russian nugget. there's really nothing special about a hex reciever soviet nugget unless it was made in the early 20s, so if you're looking specifically for a hex reciever, just find a much nicer imperial sestriryetsk or tula or izhevsk or something.

>>32438680

>>32438705
Keep the gas to the minimal setting that it can reliably cycle the particular surplus ammo which you are using. Don't use anything that's not 147-148 grain (DO NOT USE HEAVY BALL AMMO [more than 148 grain, ie. 198 grain]), and don't use anything that's not surplus. In addition to this, make sure you do a particularly thorough job of cleaning the gas system components, take them apart, as soon as you can after shooting it, as it is the most vulnerable and rust-prone component.

my ideal gas setting is 1.3

>>32438680
>>32438825
is that a 1941 tula? mine's a 1942 tula

I just acquired a yugo sks not very long ago, fresh out of the box. Cleaned it well, it's a great rifle. I love it. We used to have a yugo before we traded it off for a shotgun (back when they were so cheap) and ended up somehow with an extra receiver cover.

My buddy I take to the range with me sometimes, he can't see so well with just the irons so he can't really shoot anything past about 50 or 100 meters. Since I've got a spare receiver cover laying around, it occurred to me that maybe there would be a way to mount a scope on it.

My question is how difficult would it be to take a PU-style scope and mount it to this extra receiver cover? What all would need to be done? I know that I would probably have to drill and tap the receiver cover. How difficult would this be? Would a scope mounted like this keep its sighting at all? Would a PU scope be decent at all for this?

>>32438986
Yes, it is a 41 Tula.

You can absolutely use heavy ball safely in a SVT.

>>32439220
>You can absolutely use heavy ball safely in a SVT.

I've always been recommended against it and have been too loving of my svt to prove the myth, besides that, cheap russian surplus 54r has never failed me, so I've never been bothered with it.

>>32412041
really whats an easy ass weld if you find someone thats good at tig welding. (i wouldn't slop mig all over it but that seems to be what alot of people do) but to anyone doing something like this does it have to be re heat treated or what? i imagine welding it changes the receiver strength.

Seriously though it's fine. I generally use 150gr bullets but I've used 174 and 203gr as well with no issues.

It won't be accurate. The dust cover will move during recoil. Your buddy just needs to learn how to shoot properly.

I don't mind shooting corrosive ammo through it because I immediately go about cleaning it very thoroughly, which I actually enjoy.

Also, be careful about keeping your brushes and cleaning rods clean. You're not doing your rifling any good by scratching it up with carbon bits embedded in a stainless steel rod, or stuck in the bristles of a brass brush.

When did sight hoods start getting introduced? It seems like it wasn't until the 1930's that newer Mausers started having them.

Czechs used a spring-steel sight hood on the Vz.23. IIRC FN carbines made for Mexico between the wars had a similar sight hood.

>>32450444
Now I'm jelly. Long rifles do something for me that carbines don't.

>>32453760
Because the idiots that spread that don't understand basic chemistry. Jesus Christ, the salts are just hygroscopic. Just pour water down the barrel and they leave with the water.

>>32453760
It does react with the sulfur salts from blackpowder and was useful to remove the cupro-nickel fouling from Krag and early 30-06 loads.

Ammo isn't THAT difficult to find. My local Cabela's has a few boxes of 6.5 and 7.7 every so often.

It is a legit military variation. It is the more common variant of the KNIL Marchaussee carbine, the more rare variant being the first Dutch carbine I posted.

Damn NC, when did you come back to 4Chan? I thought you were exclusively a redditor these days. Also, what the hell is that rifle?

>>32453760
I mean because you can spray it down the bore easily and it is water based if I recall. I just Use Hoppes personally. Works just fine.

The channel with barry was you have a great and knowledgeable guy with a great personality, to after his passing to a retard who spreads misinformation and fudd and bubba lore, who is definitely on the spectrum of a personality.

I quit posting pretty much anywhere this year. I never really immigrated to reddit, only trolled hardcore there for a while. I may go do that again, but I've been hella busy and my gun collecting has completely fallen off.
