so is that normal? to have a normal looking arisaka bolt handle but other parts be full last ditch mode?

were they reserialized though? I checked the bolt parts and they all match to the last 3 digits of the receiver.

I couldn't find an importer mark anywhere on it. The man at the counter said that some crackhead brought it in and told him it was from his girlfriends recently passed away father. So it might be a bringback.

For 385 you did pretty good, even with the issues. I'd probably have passed on it, but then again I just spent way too much on my Gew98 that's been refinished.

It's a clearing rod, not a cleaning rod. It was only used to push out stuck cases. They had pull throughs to clean the barrel with.

I guess, I also never saw the appeal in French rifles until I shot an uncle's Lebel. Should have asked to buy it then but I was being a stubborn ass then about bolt actions only belonging in hunting guns and museums.

>>33803811
>it's neat as a historical piece and is probably a fine shooter
That's the appeal. That's exactly the reasoning behind every piece of milsurp I own. Some don't even qualify as fine shooters.

Unfortunately with such a tiny number produced that model really is just a museum piece or a rich man's toy. If they had cranked out 100k and all the rifles made it to Mexico and then were imported into the USA after WW2, where they'd probably sell for <$1k today, I'd own one right now.

I can't comment about Swedish rifles. Ice only shot one once, many years ago, and it was about 10 rounds. So I don't hold an opinion about them. But for German Mausers? I've shot many of those, of various grades and types. They're not bad, but they don't compare in smoothness (or usually accuracy) to my French rifles. My Kar98 is probably the smoothest Mauser I have, but it's still only average.

>>33804380
Fug you're right, last time I looked for ag-42s on gunbroker I didn't search very well so I just found some for several thousand dollars. Looks like the cheap ones are about the same as a hakim.

saw a 1938 p08 this morning for $1200. I knew I was going to regret not buying it as soon as I left the gun show

Got a m95 a few days ago but got a few questions. It's an m95m bolt and magazine but with an m95 reciever. It's marked as an m95/30 with an import mark on the barrel but I have no clue if it's 8x56r or 8mm plz help.

There was a 1938-dated PFK-Warsaw-manufactured Wz.98a at the same auction house where I got my Vz.98. Unfortunately for me the Wz.98a has the tangent-leaf rear sight like a reworked Nazi-era Gew.98 and without that rollercoaster it just didn't do it for me.

>>33804717

is the top of the receiver marked with a fuck huge S? what are the markings on the receiver?

Eh. They're pretty accurate shooters. That's about it. They're heavy, the stock is abnormally thick, and they're overly complicated for what it is.

>>33805589

they have a slick bolt though

except compared to a ross rifle

>>33805589

I noticed that the stock was slightly thicker than normal when I picked it up. I still like it though. Haven't shot it yet.

>>33805358
Also, should the magazine have a hole for the stripper clip to fall through, as I noticed the none carbines have that gap in the magazine. I don't think mines a yugo magazine since the clip for the magazine isn't grinded down but I could be wrong.

>>33805641

the m95 used an en bloc clip system like the m1 garand. once you chamber the last round the en bloc clip falls out of the bottom.

you will need an m95 en bloc clip to load rounds into the m95.

Na, a good matching M95 is just as slick. A Mannlicher-Schoenauer beats the fuck out of it.

Still they're neat rifles. I can understand the appeal, even if it doesn't fit me personally.

Again, they're okay on that department. I don't consider them slicker than a Krag, nor a French Mle 1936. I also consider a smooth bolt to really be smooth all the way through the bolt through.

>>33805823

I was more comparing slickness in terms of straight pulls bolts. but then I only know of 3 military straight pulls in the m95, k31, and ross rifles.

Numrich normally has repo monopods for like $50 but they are currently sold out. I'm thinking of putting one on my series 31 Toyo Kogyo.

Do not put a repo dust cover on it, they were hand fitted to each rifle and a repo will wear down the bluing on the receiver.

I'm curious, are there any guns besides the Trapdoor Springfields that use the trapdoor system?

A dime will fit in the gap and keep the bolt from closing up on you.

Also for SVT owners, a x54 cartridge will fit between the recoil spring and the receiver perfectly to allow you easier assembly/disassembly.

Yeah, is there a spring on the bottom of the magazine that will pop out the en bloc if you depress that button?

What are some good recommendations for a good semi-auto woodstock rifle like an M1A or M1? The Mas 49/56 looks nice, but the ammo seems a bit exotic and expensive for regular shooting. Would prefer something in 7.62 NATO, but as long as the ammo for it is cheap enough to buy in the US I'd consider it.

SVD
AK and derivatives

Most semi-auto guns moved past wood.

>>33807408

>>33807432

It won't pop out automatically, since it is a bolt action, but you'd have to hit the button to cause the spring to pop it out.

Try unscrewing that small piece in the middle of the bottom of the magazine and see what it looks like.

Got around 10 boxes of nazi 8x56r at the show today. Gonna take the M95 for a spin tommorow

>>33807408
You can buy based PPU 7.5 French for $0.75 per round, with beautiful reloadable brass cases. If you're a brass-case purist, I don't know what you intend to shoot that's much cheaper than that in .308.

If you just want a .308 to blast steelcase, get a PTR or something. It won't have wood furniture but you'll be hard-pressed to find an old-style wood battle rifle in .308 (that isn't an M1A), as militaries were moving away from wood at about the same time that they were standardizing to .308. You're going to have to make a compromise somewhere.

>>33807557
I have already its to keep a metal strip in place that in turn helps to keep the magazine spring aligned and in place

>>33807576
How much per round were you paying?

>>33807408
I just shot my MAS 49/56 for the first time today and it was excellent. The cases get super dirty from the DI system but it's a sweet little gun. Recoil was light, it grouped well, I like the sights (though the front post is a bit wide), and it's overall one of the best-looking wooden semi-autos available. Definitely recommended.

>>33807707
10 bux a box so $1 a round

>>33807691

Can you post a picture of it?

I got a situation guys

I bought a nugget a couple of months ago but the bayonet didn't fit on it, It always got stuck when I tried to put it on and it took pounding it out with a hammer to get it off

Now I just force it on and leave it on because why not?

Is this going to have any adverse effect on the barrel?

How can I fix this damn bayonet?

>>33807691

Here, I found a video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXruND3fYb8

>>33807826

IIRC the bayonets were supposed to be fixed most of the time, so it shouldn't have consequences.

You may be able to fix it by sanding the lug or the bayonet a bit, but I'm not sure if there's potential problems from that.

Here it is, was such a pain put it back in the first time, you can see the magazine spring isn't anchored anymore so it's collapsed to one side

>>33807882
Whoops I meant
>>33807757

>>33807873

All it did was leave some scratches on the barrel

Upon closer inspection I found that there was this teensy tiny little lip right at the part of the bayonet where it has the slot to turn it sideways

And I mean its just a cunt hair high but I think thats whats causing it to get stuck, again I can get it on by hammering the bayonet in place but my autism demands it to work smoothly

I think sanding it down with a dremel and extension should work

Hmm. Well just post all the photos you can. The top of the receiver and everything and someone here can help.

The cap thing on the bottom of the magazine I thought you had was a fix to the German gew88. I just found where I saw it, my bad.

I forget the word but they probably just did that thing where they hollowed out the end of the barrel back to where the rifling was good.

Definitely not counter bored as the fit between the crown and the bullet is too tight. but good consideration

You have the magazine from a Yugo M.95M 8x57mm conversion that was converted to use Mauser stripper clips.

Unlike fleabay, gunbroker values the seller more. You are at a disadvantage dealing with their bullshit that way.

If you have a NR and they catch it, they'll just cancel the order and block you. Costs them a sell sure, but they're already proved themselves to be prickish so its not like the first or only time it happens.

That's normal.

I bought a late-era Walther P38 last month and I love it. I shot a lot of Beretta M9 in the military and this feels like the 92's mom, a modern DA/SA from the 40s in a cute little package.
The little shop I bought it from also had a French license-manufactured version for about the same price (~300 USD), and I'm thinking of going back and buying that one too. Convince me not to do that.

I really should buy some land, but I just don't have the time to use it. And dropping $40,000+ on something I can't enjoy right now seems pretty foolish.

I love milsurp an old guns so fucking much. I almost hate coming to these threads because I get jealous and I would much rather be happy that people have such awesome guns. I just have to keep telling myself that I am in college and dirt poor now, but someday I will be able to buy things I like.

I wish I had bought more guns when I was in highschool and uni and though I was poor. In hindsight those early 2000s prices would have been well worth it: when it comes to milsurp earlier is better, period. On the other hand, I'm sure glad I didn't buy an AR-15 back then.

I would argue that is changing rather than dying. It is just going to transfer to the internet more. I am not saying it is the best ever choice, but /k/ hates everyone who isn't going to tradeschool to be a welder.

I don't understand the reserve BS, why would you not just start the auction at your reserve price? It seems like a BS attempt to gouge a few bucks out of somebody trying to save some time by bidding above what they guess the reserve to be.

As I said above though, with that early in the 20th series it will have an assembly number on some parts. I think you're confusing the two.

>>33810257

They want to get people mentally invested in the gun. Many (most?) people will bid higher than they think they will once they make the first move, but you need to get them to make the first move.

Probably. I can't seem to find most of these numbers though. There's a lot of grease and some fine rust on a lot of it so it still needs cleaning.

>>33811607
Yup. It's one of the largest hubs for milsurp collectors and experts. And they're just as tenacious and hungry as you'd think. But even there good deals can sit for awhile. My Lebel sat for a month before I bought it.

Bought another abused workhorse.

This one seems to be made Kommiefornia Kompliant.

This is my first sks. Its a Yugo. Is this section with the clippy ring part of the front sight block?

The barrel is already mismatched, so it won't be a major loss replacing it if i feel like making it a grenadier again. But this block seems to be of an earlier "non tapered" design. I'm not sure if it unscrews, i drove a pin out and it doesn't want to move any direction.

Still has solid rifling, I'm pondering just getting a muzzle bayonet thingy and having some ghetto M56

Haven't posted in a solid year, picked up a few new surps during then.

Most recent is a nice Mauser 1934 pistol in really nice condition.

Also scored the following

+Remington 1903A3
+1931 Finnish M27

Hoping to find a Chilean Mauser, Tikka M30, Argentine (or ideally an affordable LUX) FN-49, or FN model 1910.

There are lot better ways than chopping the end of the barrel off to make it compliant. Replacing the barrel is a waste of money. You might as well just buy a whole new one with the correct parts and sell that one to bubba.

>>33812169
mount a dragon dildo suppressor on it

>>33812609
If i was worried about wasting money i wouldn't of gotten into milsurps.

I'll buy a new one when a real Russian one comes up for non ludicrous prices. Only thing wrong with this one is the abortion on the end of the muzzle.

I can't practice repairing things on pristine guns. I have plenty of correct and perfectly fine rifles, but i value the repaired rifles more. I have quit the backlog to do. If the Hughes Amendment garbage ever gets repealed, it will be a glorious year.

Last time i seen a Russian one they wanted 1200. I seen one in what ever box they were imported in that looked unfired and they were asking 3000.

Monsoor's Sport Shop, La Crosse, WI. Please buy it because I feel obligated to do so because of the price, but and SKS is very low priority for me. As-is it nags at me.

You can get a K31 for cheaper, ammo is probably easier for the Ross though. Just make sure you check to see if it's one of the ones that can blow up in your face.
