FINALLY, got the rest of the ammo I bought with my Mle 1936. This is some interesting repacked ammo. The guys on gunboards think it was repacked by an importer, but I have some doubts. It's interesting nonetheless. I've seen some 1940, 1946, and 1948 dated cases on the few I pulled out of the tears in the packaging.

So what's the deal with Yugo Mausers seemingly never having matching wood color for the upper handguard and the stock? I have a 24/47, so I figured it was because of it going through a rearsenal program, but I've seen a lot of M48's that have the same unmatching wood color among their parts.

Not him, but the M39 I've encountered in the wild had a horrific Russian-tier trigger. Granted, it was a sample size of one, but if I recall, M39s didn't receive the improved trigger of earlier Finnish Mosins.

Can someone explain to me why people sporterize guns? Is the extra stock really THAT much of a problem?

>>34004306
Same reason why someone buys a rifle with negligible recoil and puts a muzzle break on it.
Same reason why someone buys a rifle designed to be super light and throws 30 pounds worth of useless shit on it.

There is always the idiot that has to 'do something.'

>>34004306
Honestly the stock and weight isn't really the main reason I believe most people sporterize rifles. I think it has more to do with length and pointability than anything. Swinging a full length rifle on a deer is hard to do without excess movement, especially in a blind stand or thicket. Most shots you'll take in my area are under 150 yards, usually 75 or less so the 200+meter zero on several surplus rifles is more of a hindrance than anything

So tell me /msg/, would you pay more for a rifle with a Mitchell's Mausers "Letter of Provenance"?

I think all 8x57 clips will interchange, and I'm fairly confident about the 7x57mm ones. The 7.65 clips I'm not so sure; I think the FN-made M30 rifles in 7.65 need different clips, because they don't have the little arm on the bolt stop box to reach up and put pressure on the clip when it's in the rifle.

Yeah, it was definitely done by a proper armorer. The barrel is K98k production, but the receiver and bolt are from a Gew98. It is 100% matching (stock, bands, everything) and the bore is mirror-shiny. I think some of the small parts like the safety lever are WWII production, as they have Waffenamts and Nazi eagles on them.

Anyone know how I might find out when it was converted? The only thing I can find is a small "39" stamped on the barrel, so that might mean it was converted in 1939 (or the barrel was made in '39) or it could be nothing.

I used to have a Chilean 1895 from 1895. Rebarreled in 7.62 NATO, apparently most were kabooms but mine, 100+ rounds and nothing happened.

Here's my Chinese SKS.

>>34014017
OK SO mauser 95 = small ring = 5x57 at first; too light to withstand 308 so 7,62 nato 150gr only

Mauser 98 = large ring = 8x57 at first = hotload 308 all day long

>OK SO mauser 95 = small ring = 5x57 at first; too light to withstand 308 so 7,62 nato 150gr only
Way back when, the US Army Ordnance Dept. did a study of captured Spanish 7x57mm ammo; it was found to generate an average chamber pressure of 48,000CUP. 7.62NATO max chamber pressure is 50,000CUP, so there's really not that much of a difference in the chamber pressures of the two cartridges. The reason the Chilean M95 7.62 conversions are sketchy is that to convert them they just enlarged the original bore, and then drilled the chamber out and soldered in a new 7.62x51mm. It has been documented that the heat/pressure of firing has caused the solder to fail, allowing the chamber insert to back out of the barrel and decreasing headspace.

>>34014661
Lots of guns have used chamber inserts, like the .308 Garands.

>>34015002
And the Chileans did a poor job with theirs. Your point?

>>34015004
I don't know how good or how bad they did it. I wouldn't really use that site as evidence one way or another. They still spread the myth that .308 has wildly more pressure than 7.62NATO.

And as for the Garand 7.62x51mm chamber inserts:

They're about $750 or more here usually so I don't think it's too far off from what you guys pay. Is 7.5 French still impossible for you guys to own?

>>34015635
since 2013 all the military calibers are ok to buy, exept for the 5,56 an 7.62x39 so you don't find french surplus but you find some partizan

and also a lot of these gun before the 2013 law were re-chambered in different calibers like 300 savage, 7-08rem or 30-284

so almost all the french surplus here come from germany or belgian, how stupid is that ?

and the price is in consequence, today a 49/56 cost more than 2K€ here

Yeah, I know. It's a shame. As much as I enjoy French guns, I would love that you guys could enjoy them as much as I can.

It's cheaper for French collectors to buy guns in America and pay to ship them back to France than it is to find it in France. Of course, partly that is do to the fact French guns are so undervalued and unappreciated here. A few months back a guy bought a Meunier rifle from a pawn shop for a few hundred bucks. A collector in France paid 20 times what he paid for it.

Question: I know these Navy Arms 2A1 conversions aren't really milsurp, but since they're still Enfield actions, I thought I'd ask here.

Haven't shot it yet, but when I tried cycling some live 7.62 rounds, I noticed it doesn't really eject the rounds (even with a deliberate motion), they just kinda plop out or rattle around in the chamber. Is this normal, is it because it's still a live round, or is the extractor fucked?

No. The rail is for the dust cover. And yes, even a late war Arisaka had the rails even though they never came from the factory with the dust cover.

Reporting in! Late but still made it.

A barreled action is considered a rifle right? Could I buy a barreled Mauser receiver if I'm under 21. It's got a 29" barrel.

>>34018182

Usually the receiver is legally the "gun"

Most states allow the purchase of long guns if you're at least 18 as far as I'm aware.

are you not able to use clips with a ak mag conversion?

Tried out the gas tool just to see if it'd work. To my surprise the gas valve was smooth as silk and the barrel under the wood line looks brand new.

Nothing interesting, but I picked up a mostly matching M96 Swedish Mauser at a gun show.

Looked everywhere for a MAS 36, no luck.

New milsurp came home with me today. Bit of an impulse buy, i was just dropping off rifle sized boxes at the lgs.

Never seen a grenade rifle in person. I was expecting a shit conditional sewer pipe, but the rifling in this thing is mirror bright and sharp.

>>34018182
Are you over 18? Then yes.

When i was ~13-14 i was at a gunshow and this old fatty retarded bubba sold me a barreled action (mint) for a no1mk3 Enfield in a bubba d stock for $75. He had it sitting there labelled "wall hanger". Didn't even know what it was.

He was amused because hed 'ripped off' some dumbass teenager.

I was amused because some bubba committed a felony in a room full ood people, including state troopers, just to get some beer money.

13 years later i rebuilt it to it's former glory. (I did get a bolt and shoot it way before then).

kick ass bro. good find.

how much did it cost?

also I think LibertyTreeCollectors still has cups, and there are some cups on gunbroker.

http://www.atlanticwallblanks.com/ has .303 blanks.

I shoot tennis balls out of mine, hence my trip faggery.

Yea, theres a seperate cup that clamps to the end. Kinda pricey, I'll get one eventually.

>>34019482
[spoiler] 350 [/spoiler]

I haven't come to terms with the price on the grenade cup. I'll get one in time. I wan't to lob home made smoke nonsense at things.

How could you tell it was an ishapore? I can't find any info on the grenade rifles. I just knew the copper bands meant it was a grenadier so i grabbed it. This one is in .303

I have an Ishapore 2a1 (.308) so i figure this would be a nice matching duo.

I did a quick look on that site. Nothing there says anything about grenade launching blanks for .303. Your typical movie blank won't make much pressure compared to the ones meant to fire grenades.

not milsurp. but I did just buy a Remington model 8

Is there anywhere that I can still buy a nagant revolver? I always had something more important to get, and now they are gone.

depends which one you mean.

for me, top to bottom
$600
$430
$100
$350
>>34020193
yup, i shoot all 4. the .22 on top not so much though, that stock is meant for a small girl i think cause its way too small for my shoulder.

>>34020208
Canada can't have AK's for one...

>>34003215
For two, those mag things are shit if the rifle wasn't factory-built to take them.

>>34004589
surplus 6.5 is still available

the real question is why does wolf make 303 but not any other milsurp caliber

>>34011881
replace the spring for $8, or if you are super stingy, try bending the Vs of the spring apart for a short term fix

>>34020254
wolf .303 is shit. bullet is too small diameter and its accuracy is minute of elephant.

Only good for practicing your mad minute

>>34020251
if you are in canada, why are you bothering to convert to removable magazines when you are limited to 5 rounds? it makes even less sense, either ignore your inhumane laws and reclaim your human rights or just use 5rd stripper clips

Where would those usually be located? i'll go take a picture. sorry for being so uninformed.

>>34020384
i have 2 russian captures that have the swastikas intact but they both have the X, if yours has no X then it could very well be unmolested german. did you remove the lower barrel band to check for a cut repair on the stock?
show the left side of your butt...stock.

code 27 is erma factory, made in 1939, one of 135,000ish rifles made that year by them

usually on the barrel near the muzzle, or if they are faggot dicks about it like Century, on the receiver over all the original dates and stamps

Here ya go. I haven't removed the barrel band because the first one is so damn tight i'm gonna need someone to help me pry it off. The thing was super dirty when I bought it, i've spent alot of time today cleaning it. The front of the bolt is slightly pitted but I headspaced it and it's fine and locks tight.

>>34020436
yes russian, germans never stamped serials on the left side of the buttstock, only russians did that

>>34020460
>>34020443
Haven't shot it yet, and to be quite honest I look down the bore of the rifle and I just pretend I know what i'm doing. I'm not sure what to exactly look for but some older gentleman said it had a nice bore that looked at it.

>>34020479
I traded a matching 91/30 and 200 bucks at a local gun show.

cole distributing, yes its a russian capture imported by cole distributing


>Gary Cole ran Cole Distributing, a pretty stand up business for Ak parts and such. Was a bigger player in the surplus parts business back in the day. Unfortunately he got shot in a home robbery back in 2012. the website Cole Distrubiting Website seems to be down for the count right now. I know they were having some issues after his injury, hopefully they will be back soon.

damn son you did great, assuming your 91/30 wasnt a finnish capture or a m91 dragoon

>>34020502
Oh wow sucks to hear he got shot. So far what I know about it its a russian capture made in 1939 from the erma factory and imported to the US by cole distributing, pretty good going from nothing to alot.

>>34020511
No it was just a standard one made in 1938, very clean though. have a M39 and not gonna trade that thing ever, love it too much. The guy who had it was real old and looked to just make a younger guy happy then to make a real profit I guess.

>>34020485
you look for wear near the last inch of the muzzle, the rifling will be smoothed out and the lands and grooves disappear on a worn barrel. if you can see crisp rifling its good. also check for rust and pitting inside, but mainly the last inch of bore is the part that needs the closest inspection because of cleaning methods using a steel rod, this part tends to be the most worn, and since its the last bit of barrel to touch the bullet before the bullet leaves, its the most critical
