If it doesn't have any surface corrosion and you can still hear the loose powder inside go ahead and shoot it. To be extra safe maybe pull one of the bullets and check for clumping powder or any signs of interior corrosion.

>>32998011
Did you clean all the cosmo out of the spring and interior of the bolt body? Does the cocking piece # match the bolt body #?.

Man those $200 Mausers people are getting look rough. Hope that one anon in the thread gets a nice one.

My rule of thumb is to never trust surplus 8mm unless it's Yugo.

Real talk /k/

Restore or continue to part out?

I bought it at the LGS because i needed parts and it was cheap enough. Now I'm having second thoughts. Its a 22nd series Kokura with a chrome bore, beautiful rifling, AA sights, and sadly a ground mum. Bolt is mismatched but is chrome faced (and matches itself) from a Howa or Izawa going by the series.


Wood is fucked. Cut off at the band and so stupidly heavily sanded the (missing) buttplate doesn't even have inletting anymore. Handguard is a qtpie but is also cut, though it wasn't sanded. May keep the wood handy for repair fodder, or maybe doctor it up and throw a rebored bubba into it for milsurp durr

I'm only 120 into it, so if i can get a proper stock with the metal i could have a complete rifle for normal prices.

You put the contact surface of the cocking piece against some solid edge like a table and use it to compress the mainspring, moving it back out of the bolt shroud until you can again engage the safety lever to retain it.

Lesson learned, Finn Mosin is not for barrel brush. That D shank apparently makes for a pretty tight fit on 7.62/

I thought those markings being Estonian were debunked.

Picked up a k31 recently. I read online that sometimes the troop tag is kept in the Butt plate and to my surprise I actually found one. It got me thinking if any other milsurp rifles are like this. I own about 12 other milsurp but have never had the need to remove the butt plate on them. Anyone know of any other countries that did something similar?

Any issues these rifles tend to have that I should look for when I check it out?

>>33005970
As long as they haven't fucked with the stock no. Surplus ammo was (is) corrosive so be sure to check the bore.

So I mentioned I found a mauser with all the German markings scrubbed off that was otherwise identical to a '43 98k next to it. I was told it was probably Romanian.

Are those decent Mausers if I want a shooter? Do they have any historical value with the markings being scrubbed? Since I have Finn rifles it would be a cool start to a "one of all the minor Axis powers" collection potentially but I dont want to pick up a rifle that was refurrb surplus rifle used in the years after WWII.

What tends to be a going rate for them? Not really seeing much listed as Romanian Mausers on GunBroker. Are they called VZ24's or is that something different?

>>33007904
If you want a shooter they're fine and have value of their own, but fiscally speaking not as much as a unmolested German one. However it is almost a guarantee that they were used after the war by the Romanians, not during the war, at least in such a condition. Nowadays they're around $450 or so.

>>33007952
would $450 be for a nice one or a lower end one?

>>33008015
For a Romanian 98k? It'd be a fair price for a good example. For a vz24? I can't say with certainty, but its on the higher side and would probably have to be pretty nice.

I can't fucking stand it /k/

I want to shoot my Mosin and Shield but I have hardly any spare ammo. I don't want to buy anymore because I'm saving for an SKS. AND I can't buy an SKS until I get my tax return in mid-March.

I recently bought 5 milsurp rifles at an estate sale, two are semi automatics and the rest are bolt actions. Do you guys believe it's necessary to take these to a gunsmith for safety checks? The gunsmiths around me all charge $40-100 per rifle for just a simple safety check. If anyone here has any stories of catastrophic or just potentially dangerous failures of their milsurp guns I would be very interested in hearing them.

>>33012346
You actually have gunsmiths around willing to look at yours?

Around here apparently no one will touch a gun unless it's hunting rifle, AR 15, or 9mm/45, given that the only gun smith in town recommended me to another guy and he won't return my calls or emails.

I'm about to have to drive an hour at this rate just to find a gunsmith who isn't afraid of a gun made more than 20 years ago.

>>33012385
I haven't called anyone or set anything up yet, only checked websites for prices. I just don't want that thought in the back of my head that the rifle I'm shooting will blow gas in my face, or the straight bolt on the k31 I picked up is going to blow back and break my nose or some stupid shit.

This is for a Lee Enfield, but the basic principles apply to all your guns. Bore obstructions or grease, firing pin protrusion and shape, deep pitting, cracks in the stock or the metal, rounding or mis-shaping of the metal in your trigger oor sear assembly.

Any old gunsmith won't suffice because they won't necessarily know how to get your gun apart or trouble spots to look for. I've never paid one myself but I'm also a metallurgist with years of experience in quality control and destructive and non-destructive testing. Also, wear your safety glasses.

Question. I got a brit 1907 bayo for my Enfield MKIII and I was wondering how to clean it. The scabbard is leather which I assume is beyond help, but the blade is rather nice and oily, and the wood is a bit dark. Is there any way to revitalize the wood and make it less oily without taking it apart? Thanks boys.

A little saddle soap for the leather, if it's not so bad that applying it would pull the thing apart. Rag and oil is all you need for the blade, unless there's active red rust. If the wood is oily, like with machine oil or general purpose oil, you'd have to scrub and leech it out of the wood which will do more harm than good likely. I would leave the wood, wipe away the oil with a rag and, if you want, the faintest hint of mineral spirits/paint thinner.

>>33016337
>>33023168
Saddle soaps and similar things shouldn't be used. Stuff made for boots and saddles, things that are meant to be used versus things meant to preserve leather are two completely different things.

The best way to preserve leather is to keep it in a stable environment.

There is nothing wrong with "corrosive" ammo. All you need to do is flush the barrel out with water as it leaves hygroscopic salts in the bore.

I'd assume that those salts get around in more than just the barrel.

Damn, is that an average/normal price? Also, does that set come with barrel bands, or do I have to get those separate?

The one I'm looking at (at LGS, haven't jumped on it yet cause financially responsible) looks pretty close to pic related. I guess the guy who had it before free floated the barrel. So if I jump on it, I'll have to drop another $150 on a stock set, and a few more $$ for barrel bands and such?

If you guys were doing this as a project for yourselves, what would be your limit to spend total (for rifle, parts, etc)? I'm just curious if I'm about to get into something that costs more than it's worth.

Plan on putting it to use, by the way, not for any collector value since the guy already turned it into a sporter.

I'm pretty new to the Enfield, so I couldn't tell you what a good price for the stock is.

Yes, you'll need to get the barrel bands, sling loops, front sight protector and such.

Kinda depends on how much the rifle is and its condition.

I wouldn't unless you really want to restore it.

>>33030031
You are. It'll never be worth what you put into it money wise. So you can either do it, rationalizing that it'll be restoring history. Or you can turn it into a replica of something much harder to obtain, like a sniper or something.

>>33029848
To what are you referring, exactly?

>>33030057
>What did that cost you?
$750, which was probably too much considering the stock was partially-stripped of finish because someone over-enthusiastically cleaned it. On the other hand, it is 99% matching; only the cleaning rod is off. I think it may have been a War Bond rifle; the firing pin tip was deliberately bent until it snapped.

I wanted a Gew.98 really bad, and a 1914-dated Mauser-brand Mauser with so many matching numbers I just couldn't let go. I picked up an all-matching 1899-dated Argentine Model 1891 for $250 and a post-Civil War refurbished-matching 1923-dated Spanish Model 1893 for $250 on the same day though, so it all works out I suppose.

>>33030252
>>33030324
Is $650-$700 a good price range for a No.1 or No.4? Or is that an unreasonable amount? Most local shops around here tend to price things high. But then again, I've noticed milsurp prices HAVE been going up.

>>33030632
That's pretty high for a No4, and depends on which example of a No1 you're dealing with.

Probably a dumb question, but is it safe to use the cleaning rods that come with milsurp rifles?

>>33031283
With a bore guide yeah. Bit most of them are to short to go breach to muzzle so why would you use it

which should I go for? the $200 looks like it will take a fuck ton of work since they fucked with the stock, iron sights, and did weird shit with it. the 900 is straight out of the box and is cheaper than most good condition springfields.

What do you guys think of the Stgw 57 as my first semi auto milsurp?

I can buy either a Stgw 57 or an SKS for the same price.

What should I get?

>>33037474
Depends how self righteous you feel you are. On the one hand you'll be spending the same amount either way, but the restoration will never be a good return financially. On the other hand, you're rebuilding a old war horse, putting in hard work for something you care about and are preserving history. Also you can make it look immaculate without feeling guilty or getting shit on.

I also found this one on gun broker:

looks nice but holy shit that grease is unreal.

and what is the difference between a smith and corona make and a springfield make? it seems to really fuck with the prices.

>>33037533
>Mark 1
You aren't getting that. Not for less than $1500. I'll guarantee that.

I THINK, S&C rifles are built after the war from parts. But I could easily be wrong.

It'll be more to shoot but it's way, way cooler.

> THINK, S&C rifles are built after the war from parts. But I could easily be wrong.

from what I can tell they were made during world war 2. but honestly I'm still new to shooting but love the 1903A3 and want to add it to my collection.

>want an m1 carbine
>see a universal for 600

is it worth? I keep hearing that universal is either crap or doesn't follow the original design.

The Mk 1/2, 1/3, and 2 have the trigger hung from the receiver. This gives you a better trigger pull vs the trigger guard mounted trigger on the Mk1 and Mk1*.

Where can I still buy some Yugo 8mm ammo?
Got my M48 Mauser the other month but never shoot it as the only ammo locally is $1+/ round.

Also, when shooting the cheap steel cased ammo the bolt gets near impossible to pull open. Its as clean as I can get, any suggestions?

go to every gun store possible and look for military surplus ammunition.

you can always try cabelas online. seems like 8mm mauser with non-corrosive is 18-19 bucks for them.

>want to shoot fun historical guns
>either buy cheap corrosive as fuck ammo
>or buy expensive non corrosive ammo

I went full retard and bought .303 british from big 5 sporting goods. lost 40 bucks for 20 rounds because of that.

Right now there's no-one online who has Yugo M49 or M75. Just order some PPU; even after shipping it's still cheaper than $1.00/rd.

>when shooting the cheap steel cased ammo the bolt gets near impossible to pull open. Its as clean as I can get, any suggestions?
Is it that new Romanian stuff? It's shit; that's why it sticks. "Non-WW2 dimensions" my ass.

I was just looking at some of the ppu ammo on gunbot, and its with the hotshot steel cased ammo from cabelas that my gun doesn't like.

>>33041318

it's big 5. they don't stock .303 or 8mm mauser. both were 39.99.

I felt bad for the counter guy because I kept asking him questions so I bought the ammo knowing it was double the price.

I went to cabelas and bought .303 FMJ for 17 bucks or something.

There's no such thing; they fucked up the sizing of the cases and are just trying to make excuses. Without gommunism to keep the Gypsies in line Romania has gone to shit.

tell me /k/ im going to a gun show with some friends next weekend. my one friend who was at the same one last year said they had all sorts of milsurp stuff priced cheap including mannlichers (he bought one for 100 in good condition with a bayonette)

what are some average prices to pay on milsurp rifles like mausers, enfields, mosins, etc. i know nothing about military surplus rifles and want to snag a few

>>33043131
Just some ballparks for you.
Mosins
91-30s are going to be around 2-300 from fair to bullshit pricing.
M44s will be 300-400
M39s will probably be 350-700 depending on a lot of factors.
M48 Mausers 250-400
K98 Russian captures(non-matching, import mark and possibly an X marking and number stamped on left of stock butt) are becoming absurd at 600-900. They're hardly worth the lower end. Yugo captures with the yugo crest and all markings scrubbed otherwise are cheaper.
All matching with no import will be 900-3k depending. Don't go for these unless you know your shit. Don't even consider a german K98 with a white bolt.
Czech Mausers can be had cheaper as well as FN Mausers.

I don't know a lot about enfields.

Does it shoot Balle N or Balle D?

So I bought a 91/59 Mosin the other day from a local gun shop for $330, only negatives were that the stock had some minor bumps and damage, but no cracks or anything. Either way after shooting it I'm happy with the rifle, but did I overpay or is that a decent price?

>All matching with no import will be 900-3k depending. Don't go for these unless you know your shit. Don't even consider a german K98 with a white bolt.

Other guy here trying to learn about mausers before I buy one. What makes a white bolt Mauser bad? Are they just obvious fakes or something?

>>33044248
>What makes a white bolt Mauser bad?
All German Kar.98k rifles had their bolts either blued or phosphated at the factory; they should never be in-the-white.
>Are they just obvious fakes or something?
It's a big warning that the rifle you're looking at is not in original condition.
