Fuck nevermind, thought the pic was going to be flipped so the top is the Mauser and the bottom is the Arisaka.

you seem to be missing a part or two for the mauser

>>33232595
Yea I dont know anything about them and was wondering if anyone preferably in my state who was able to fix em up.

>>33232622
Each will be worth 200-400 fully refurbished.
I would check for gunsmiths in your area via google. You could also ask around at any gun store and they can point you in the right direction if they cant help you.

>>33232654
Thanks, I know of a great gun store about an hour drive from me, for some reason never thought of it.

>>33232680
Haha no problem, and you could always send those guns to my door instead, i will take good care of them.

>>33232701
Lol I'll probably hold onto em. Im real into WW1 and WW2 history so its something id like to keep.

>>33232732

So you have a Imperial German Gewehr 1898 Mauer complete action. You need a stock, barrel bands, and handguard.

You can use a Brazilian M1908 stock; they're almost identical except for markings.

Upper barrel band:

Lower barrel band:

Handguard (Product # 7280B should be best fit):

With that you can put together a working rifle that will look more-or-less like it should have in WW1.

What part of Arkansas, anon? I'm an Arkansan too. I moved to South Florida and got sort of stuck and can't afford to visit home for the time being.

>>33233814
Saline County fellow Arkansan.

>>33232563
That's a Type 38 Arisaka.
>>33232654
>Each will be worth 200-400 fully refurbished.
No they won't. That's what they are worth when they haven't been bubba fucked. To "refubish" them you'll still end up with a mismatched turd with little collector's value.

>>33233776
Damn anon, thanks alot

>>33233869
Not really a die hard collector so I dont care about it being 100% pristine all origonal authentic, just something to have and ocasionally shoot.

>>33233869
Also what rounds do the Type 38s shoot?>>33233876

>>33233907
My point is that those guns are trash, for what you will pay you can buy ones unfucked with and that won't be trash.
>>33233938
6.5 Japanese.

>>33233865

Nice. I miss the food at Brown's in Benton.

>>33233996
Some good shit my man, new Italian place popped up where Ed & Kays use to be, really good and really cheap.

Hopefully I can escape this third world shithole soon to go back home to do /k/ related stuff in Stuttgart (home) and visit friendos in Saline and Pulaski.

>>33234011
Please tell me I'm not the only one who loves Mama Z's? it's out by Tontitown.

>>33232563

As far as your funs, look up John Tier (sp?) on Arch St near Landmark. He can either do the work or the guy Rab that works there can. He's the best gunsmith in Little Rock.

>>33234170
Never had it friendo, I know a Italian place in Cabot is really good too.

>>33234181
Wrote it down, thanks anons all of you have been a big help.

>>33232563
Refurbing rifles like those most likely will not get you your money back even if you where the one to refurbish them. You would be lucky to break even. I say this as a milsurp lover too. If you are looking to up their value in order to resell, you might as well just sell them as is. If you want to shoot them, that can be easily done.

That said, to get them in shooting order is not all too hard, assuming you know how to use a screw driver. The G98 can be repaired with the parts that >>33233776 recommended.

The arisaka needs at least a new stock, Try searching both ebay and gunbroker for a replacement stock and barrel bands as necessary. Hopefully another anon can help better on that rifle (jap rifles are not my forte).

>those guns are trash
A complete Gew.98 barreled-action is not trash. It is certainly worth putting a little money in to have a shooter if the bore is decent.

>>33234249
Appreciate the advice, im not worried about resell or money, to me it would just be somethig neat to have and take to shoot every once and a while.

Also too to let the rest of you know I was given both of these for free.

>>33234268
My point is what this anon said >>33234249 It's not financially or collector worthy to do.

You can buy a decent Type 38 for $200-$300, or you can buy the same amount in parts for a new stock and bands and you'll have one worth $200 AT BEST.

>It's not financially or collector worthy to do.
>financially
For the ~$150 parts and shipping will cost him it's definitely financially worth it for the Gew.98. Total mis-match shooters sell for $350-400+ these days.

>>33234629
That's just because Mauserfags are idiots. They're paying $500 or more for common Soviet refurbed Kar98s.

>>33234629
>Total mis-match shooters sell for $350-400+ these days
They may retail for that. But unless OP opens his own shop, he will most likely get only get $200-$300 from a shop and another $50 more in private sales. Granted, in the past 3 months milsurps are starting to increase in price beyond inflation again, not counting the suddenly not as available guns (I am looking at you Mosins).

>>33234587
>>33234629
>>33234645
The guns were free, I dont care about the authenticity of the gun or resell or how much it will cost. Im just needing info on people or parts to get these guns back into standard shape.

Got the mosin for $110 back in 2012 or 2013.

>>33234704
Oh don't worry. By now, the thread has completely derailed and they are not paying attention to you. Their argument has nothing to do with the OP, but winning on the internet.

>>33234724
As did I, $115 with tax and PA NICS check. It is what got me into milsurps.

>>33234758
Kek, im confuzed by something with the Mosin. ive grew up shooting guns but grandpa was very picky about when I could be around them so I never really learned properly maintaining them. So im a newfag at alot of this.

My mosin says irs a 91/30 stamped 1942r
Made in the province of Georgia.

So dows this makes this gun basically a fake or "unauthentic" war rifle?

>>33234828
>My mosin says irs a 91/30 stamped 1942r
>Made in the province of Georgia.

No Mosins made at any factory in Georgia. Are you sure you're not reading "Georgia, VT", home of Century Arms International, the importer?

>>33234828
There is also a country called Georgia which in 1942 was a part of the Soviet Union, but much more likely is that the imported by Century as >>33234863 pointed out as I was typing this.

>>33234863
Yea your right, my bad I took an ambien, got court in the morning so my minds shit rn.

By buying parts all you are doing is giving money to those assholes who take perfect and matching guns and part them out so idiots like OP can make his mismatched trash "original" again.

>>33235047
Dont give a shit, I just want a fully functioning gun.
