it's possible, but it's gonna depend on what you find. I've seen some fuckin magic done with electrolysis. Something like your pic? doubtful without some major fabrication on the level of completely rebuilding the bitch from scratch.
Not a chance in hell. The rust is the only thing holding it together. Even if you managed to clean it down to bare metal, it would be so pitted and deformed.
>>33046480
If you don't have an undamaged barrel and internals I'd say no. Not even with electrolysis magic
>>33046480
If you're in Europe you might as well save the money and buy a real gun.
>>33046495
i live in the eu (lithuania) and want to own a gun very badly but the legal age is somewhat 21-24yrs
and i have no idea how to find a black market only know where to get amo
>>33046514
>europe
>might as well just buy a gun
>muslimbro
why am i not surprised you're retarded.

I have property and guns in Europe. Why do retards think that if you're in Europe you can't have access to guns?
>>33046480
Should have done this in the 50s hell even 20 years after the war you might have had a chance.
But, there's no chance in hell now, those fossils are FUBAR.
>>33046530
the middle east is technically not europe.
>>33046480
The shit you're gonna find at a battle site is going to be buried under 70 years worth of mud and weather. 1 in 1000000 that you find anything usable.
Better off buying a parts kit.
>>33046530
shitloads of regulations
we are considered to have the most lax of them and still you have to do a shitload of paper work
to have a license
>>33046537
I wasn't necessarily speaking about legal ownership however you still have to do paperwork even in America to own certain guns and in a few places in Europe when you have your license you can buy full autos and suppressor without going through the loops we have to go to. Not every country is progun but not all of Europe is anitgun either.
got the idea to search for some ww2 weapons when i found this mother fucker while i was digging a stump in my farm
at first i thought it was from a panzerbusche but now im not sure
plz give me hope
>>33046573
That's way too big to be from a Panzerbüchse, it's more likely something from an AA or even smaller AT gun.
Also, thank mr skeltal
>>33046573
no that's not from a Panzerbüchse, the rim is wrong. It's a 30 or 37mm grenade from a German machine canon
>>33046605
>thank mr skeltal
im not that thin i wheight 76kg
probably the shirt makes look like that
>>33046623
>>33046605
i asked my parents if they knew any battles around that area, didnt get much execp that there were some battles with partisans a few km away
also the farm is like 10km away from the border with rusian kaliningrad if that helps
>>33046649

take a measurement of the base of the base of the brass.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8LmyImiUmP-aTZ5ZWdzcF9OQW8
It should be be listed in one of the tables here
>>33046716
the base(if you mean the bottom of the cartridge ) is 3.35cm while the neck is 2.55
>>33046716
did some quick research
the round might be from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkov-Yartsev_VYa-23 or any other 23mm auto cannon
its hard to tell since the cartridges neck is in bad condition
>>33046805
Would make sense they are a quite similar rim. Where did you find it?
>>33046828
as i said 10km from the border with kaliningrad (i live in lithuania) in my farm while digging a stump
>>33046480
If you live in America you can buy a Yugoslavian MG42 parts kit, build it into something legal.
Bam, functional MG42, I would recommend doing a 7.62NATO conversion though.

>>33046851
Oh yeah, forgot you already said that. then it's quite likely it's from some Russian aircraft gun.
25,5mm doesn't fit to a German gun
seeing that the thread is dead
if anyone is still lurking here i will definetly deliver if ill find anything there
If you scavenged that shit in the 50s and 60s, yeah, decent chance. 3/4 of a century later? Most of that shit is just rust by now.
>>33047476
i saw a video where some burger restores a 1911 and even fires from it.it looked like it was homemade from scrap metal when restored but it fired decently
>>33046480
most stuff you will find is junk
very few can be "safed", but it is possible
surprised that the thread is still alive
found out that during ww2 my farm was used as a german hq also after the war there was a shitloads of partisan activity there if, anyone is still lurking here
>>33046530
Bosnishit isn't Europe, it's Turkey
>>33046516
I have a similar situation here in the Commonwealth of PR. Legal age to own a firearm is 21, however, you can bypass that by having a legal guardian, parent, or instructor to get you a sports shooting permit for minors under their name. Check your local laws if they allow such thing.

Yeah, honestly I miss the edgy satanic kid who burned down churches and didn't give a fuck about anything. Sure he was still kind of a tool as all edgy kids are, but it wasn't complicated, he wasn't trying to be seen as a visionary or deep thinker, just one day started going "hey fuck that church" and burned it down and slapped songs about it together in his basement.
>>33048381
Cool. I would keep looking around then. You might not find any guns, but finding a cool knife or other memorabilia is awesome. Where i live, the only think you might find is an arrowhead point.

something with a barrel rusted through like that would just explode in your face anyway
surface rust can be cleaned. when the rust is that powdery orange and the original metal parts are all deformed and encrusted, that shits toast

thats a canon shell from an airplane, probably a 20mm projectile
are you a ukuck? im sure the fields are littered with them after all the dogfights and aerial battles of ww2
how does the filter work again?
>>33046480
At a certain point there is not enough metal left for the parts to function (and some parts may be gone entirely).
