400 is fair but a little on the high side.

How much for a barreled G88 action with a scrubbed receiver?

>>34314324

Given that I already have the Last Ditch the most I'll probably offer them is $325, and I probably won't even do that since i have so many other things that I need first.

$50 if you're desperate. Personally I wouldn't want it if the markings were gone.

Ive been here a while but a whole long time. But was that guy who found the portugese mannlicher yesterday the best "dumb luck" sort of find you all have seen here?

Second part of the deal. Either a weird Israeli capture or a fucked up abomination.

Czech VZ. 24 receiver, Israeli 7.62 barrel, misc German K98k parts, Yugo BK refinished stock, weird bent bolt, Israeli sling. Feeds 7.62x51 reliably, but no Israeli markings aside from the barrel and sling. Still haven't pulled the stock though so I don't know...

>>34315033
Hope someone over bids you. Or just take the hit to your account.

Dust covers are Ebay shit.. as are the AA bitsa.

200 at most. Even if it has a full stock.

>>34315065

FN rework, it's a shooter. Get it as cheap as possible as it's not very collectable.

Sweaty Ben has ceremonial SKSes. Or had, they're listed as out of stock and I haven't watched the video so I don't know if he's just holding onto them until tomorrow.

There's no FN proof marks though. No perrons, no lions, none of that shit so I ruled that out. Unless it still could be??

Depending on the series and manufacturer it's either a fair price or on the high side. No monopod? You should have checked for matching numbers.

>>34315290
>200 at most.
15 years ago.

>>34315451
It won't be marked, as it was meant to be "sterile".

Easy way to check is to look at the chamber if it looks like it was hand done, or looks rough, it's likely a FN rework.

>>34315556

I bought a Type 44, Type 38 action with unmolested mum, and a Type 99 in an "interesting state" for $200.00 less than three years ago.

I paid more for the bayonets.. There are a lot of shitty Japanese rifles out there, don't pay absurd inflated prices for junk.

>>34315766
From my understanding, the Beglians provided barrel blanks to the Israelis, who then finished them. I don't know if that means they weren't marked, or if this one is something which is why I asked earlier. My problem is the lack of markings by the Israelis. No signature 7,62 stamped in big letters on the receiver nor stock, no Star of Davids, no IDF markings. Only hint is Israeli sling and the barrel.

Peep this weird as fuck bolt angle though. Probably used to be straight before the Israelis got it.

>>34315556

Yeah, but between RIA and a gun show this weekend I don't expect to be buying it.

Had a beat to shit SA marked SVT-40 come into the store today. It's in pretty shit condition, but for I grabbed it right away, especially at the price I'm getting it for (335). I'm not expecting a shooter, but I'll risk it to see if it can be cleaned up a bit. I have a nugget with a terrible bore than shoots ok, so who knows.

I use to have an SVT, but I sold it after a bit since it didn't work right. I sold it for the price i bought it at, which I regretted. I bought the money to buy 2 garands though.

Putting it on layaway. It'll be a while until I can pick it up since I have 4 other guns on layaway as well. I'll take a closer look tomorrow.

>>34316456

>>34316456

>>34316456

>>34316500
The bore is pretty bad. Bad ebough for the store to price it much lower than any SVT I've seen (aside from that dude from years ago that got a bubba'd one for like 250). The previous owner inherited it from his dad (who also inherited it) and I'm guessing one of them shot corrosive and never cleaned it. I've seen a beat to shit SA stamp sell for 750 about 5 years ago.

>>34316507
During my short inspection, I found 2 SA stamps; one on the mag and the other on the receiver. I'll give it a detailed look over tomorrow.

A lot of people poo pah "bad bores." They ignore the fact that a collectable gun is more than just a lead thrower. And of course, often times dust can make barrels look trashed out.

I literally told someone online that the barrel that he was questioning was good and was just dusty and was needing a good cleaning and someone else in alt caps called me an idiot and said it was worthless. The guy bought the gun, cleaned the barrel and sure enough it was pristine. How'd I know? There was this huge dust bunny between the cleaning rod and barrel. It sat in someone's closet for decades like that. It was also a later made Type 38, so it never had enough chance to be shot out. I see it all the time.

Granted, that's probably an extreme for this case, but something to look at. Finnish captured SVTs can often be in poor shape, but that's mostly from shooting their heavy ball ammo which it wasn't designed for.

My M48 looked almost smooth bore when I got it. It was just full of grease and cleaned to pristine condition after about 15 rounds

saw a 1938 p08 at the lgs for $1200

is it cheap because its prewar?

I didnt check if it was maching numbers or not

>>34316768
I'll try to get the bore cleaned tomorrow. I didn't have time today. I know they have bore snakes in the back to clean, but I might bring a rod and some jb bore compound myself.

Still, even with a busted bore, I can't really complain for the price. As long as there's nothing else wrong with it.

>>34317483
No it wasn't listed. It said "Buyer pays actual shipping cost". I know it doesn't cost $100 to ship from AL to GA. I wasn't going to pay 3x as much as I knew it really cost

buyer pays shipping. no hard value set. if ot was to hawii or alaska i can understand but you cant justify 100 for one state over.

It's that. Bubba stuck an Israeli 7.62 barrel on a sporterized action; the bolt has been swept back (Israelis did not do it), and note that the receiver bridge has had the charger guide ground down so it's flush with the rest of the bridge (which Israelis would definitely not do).

My inglis hi power has been getting a lot of failure to extracts recently. It's very apparent when using ammo that passed through the winchester factories like the white box shit and the browning brand ammo. When I put a snap cap into the bolt and shook the slide it was loose and could be shaken off semi-easily. However, the gun reliably extracts snap caps when I pull back the slide. Can I grab a replacement repro internal extractor from numrich and "fit" it or am I SOL? How would I even fit it?

old surplus ammo is just not very good, even discounting the age. for example, i pulled about 400 rounds of 100 year old surplus 7mm mauser made by Winchester. i measured the powder charges in 5 rounds and the variation in powder charge weight was +-almost 2 grains. not to mention all the projectiles are a different weight.
old ammo is dirty, corrosive, often misfires, and sometimes the brass cases rupture. that 7mm Mauser? 4/10 cases that actually fired, ruptured

Imagine scoring some sweep surp rifle, you go to shoot it and BANG. Permanently blind, or dead.

Maybe a dumb question, but what's the barrel life on an SKS? I shoot mine a lot, and have put maybe 3000-ish rounds through it so far. I clean it after every outing, but I hear they only last like 10k rounds before the barrel is shot out. They're only going to go up and price, and I don't really wanna buy another one if the barrel is shot out, as much as I enjoy shooting it.

My father was an FFL back in the 70s and he used to buy sks by the crate for like $30 a rifle. But he said that the manuals said the gun was good for between 8,000 to 12,000 rounds. Those were chinese iirc. Dont qoute me though. Ill have to ask him next time I see him

Anybody got experience with the FR8? Ausfag here looking at one. Getting rid of my Jungle Carbine mockup and want a surplus rifle in 308 as ammo is cheaper.

It was a fault of many things going wrong. There was some receivers that weren't forged correctly. The workers would just "eye ball" the right temperature of the metal instead of reading their gauges.
It was partly the fault of the poor quality ammo during WWI. The bullet jacket material would also tend to foul the rifling and soldiers would grease the bullets to try to prevent that and in doing the chamber pressure would increase.
And it doesn't help that the M1903 has a coned breech design which means the case head isn't fully supported.

So basically poor quality ammo led to cracked cases, which is helped by the lack of case support which in turn dumped all the energy into some suspect receivers.

>>34325218
>>34325358
The heat treatment wasn't at fault. Yes, they changed their heat treatment

From Hatcher's Notebook:
>One fact that this staff quickly developed was that the forging temperature was not being sufficiently controlled….These men thought that they could tell when a piece had the right heat just by looking into the furnace.” “…it was quickly found that the “right heat” as judged by the skillful eye of the old timers was up to 300 degrees hotter on a bright sunny day than it was on a dark cloudy one.

Also, the Krag was NEVER a black powder rifle.

Just never buy on impulse, that's how you fuck yourself.

From the times I've seen them for sale FR-8's should be at most $500. $625 is robbery.

As far as I can see from researching it for 5 minutes, no. Factory ammo is too high pressure for it. Recommending lower power handloads

30 year old noguns cunt here. This is probably the best thread to ask this. My dream rifle is a K98. I understand that Russian "captures" are not as enviable in terms of collectors pieces, but I don't care and am actually intrigued by why they put K98's together from various parts. I know it was to put good condition parts together and thus have better overall rifles. Bottom line Russian "captures", is that I would love to own one as long as I can get it for a good price (sub 500 bucks).

Bottom line I want a GERMAN K98 even if is a Russian "capture" and in good quality, as in being able to run 10,000 rounds through it before part replacement. And for no more than 500 dollarydoos.
Gunbroker and gunsamerica are the only sites that seem to have K98's regularly but holy fuck they are terribly expensive or in absolute terrible condition. Are there other sites, perhaps better than those two with regards to getting a good quality, and reasonably priced K98? Thank you!

For the most part no. Even russian captures are going for upwards of $600

Finding a RC for even $400-500 is a pretty good deal these days.

In the days of dopey dreams—happy, peaceful Philippines,
When the bolomen were busy all night long.
When ladrones would steal and lie, and Americanos die,
Then you heard the soldiers sing this evening song:
Damn, damn, damn the insurrectos!
Cross-eyed kakiac ladrones!
Underneath the starry flag, civilize 'em with a Krag,
And return us to our own beloved homes.

I need to take her out for a real photo shoot sometime. Shes 1901 marked. I picked up the bayonet and scabbard at a gun show a few weeks ago for like $60. The scabbard was rusted to hell, and the handle wasn't in very good shape either. But I think it cleaned up very nice. Except for the marks on the bayonet of someone trying to sharpen it with like a dremel. The bayonet is from 1899.

The finish is a little nicked up on the metal parts and the stock is...well, I leaned it against the wall for a few minutes and it was laying down...underneath a mosin, a Gewehr 88, an M48, an FAL, and an AK.

I was nearly in tears.

Sacrificing your need a german one can get you an easternbloc copy for less than $350 in basically new condition. I have a yugo that I got for about $200 and i love it. However I mostly now see Serbian and Turkish.

Alsp, check local classifieds and pawn shops. Youre more likely to find and work out a deal locally. My old man got a German k98 with matching numbers (except the floorplate) for like $400 because it was in a pawn shop next to ARs and Remington 700s and nobody wanted an old military rifle.

I'd ship it to you for $50 provided it's in the CONUS. I bought it last summer. I ordered the wrong one while my newly acquired Krag was at the gunsmith. I assumed since it was an 1898 model that it had the 1898 sight. I was wrong. I was a complete noob to Krags then.

It arrived a day or 2 before I got my rifle back from the gunsmith, so I put a coat of boiled linseed oil on it because I assumed I had the right handguard.

>>34332222

Mmmmm...

Maybe, but it feels like if I do that I'm committed to rebuilding the rifle, which isn't going to be cheap.

>>34332329
If you want it, shoot me an email sometime. If not, no biggie. I haven't really actively tried to sell it yet.

I saw a Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk 2 at Gander Mountain for about $239. I know little about milsurp pricing as I'm just beginning to dabble in it. I can afford what they're asking but I still don't want to overpay, especially when I don't know what the rifle is really worth combined with Gander Mountain's retarded price model. Anyone got any knowledge they're willing to share?

Where can I get .318 cal bullets?

It served the Nazis, even if they didn't mark it. These conversions began in 1934. Some went to Spain with the Condor Legion, where they were left behind and later refurbished by the Spanish. I think yours is most likely a WW2 souvenir if it's all-matching.

Look on the sight base, it'll be marked "s/42K" (1934) "s/42G" (1935) or just "s/42" for 1936-later. Mauser made the sights, and the Wehrmacht arms depots retrofitted the rifles, but not necessarily in the same year the sight is dated.

There are no "S/42K, S/42G, S/42" anywhere on the rifle, nada. I've opened the fucker and sights several times and no such markings are on or in it.

Nope. That was Century. There's a rumor that the Finns added some scopes to make them more viable commercially but I don't know how true that is. In any case I don't have that rifle anymore. Traded it for my Peruvian 1891.

On 91/30 PUs they captured. They had more sniper rifles than they had snipers to give them to.

Thanks, anon. It was in pretty good shape at a quick glance from the short time I had to look at it. I'll do some thorough inspection when I go back. If it's in good enough condition I think this might be one of the few times the employee's lack of knowledge has paid off at the price it's being listed at.

A funstore down the road has a Remington Model 10A for $150. Metal and wood look clean. Should I cop it? I don't have a shotgun yet and I really love milsurp.

Also, can I get a quick rundown on this gun? It isn't a trench model or anything. I don't know much about shotguns

Is there a good site to read up on K31's before buying my first one?

snipers were the only bent bolt mosins right? i think they look pretty cool but im not sure if its worth the premium. i dont care about the scope, just the bolt. scopes on them are hideous.

No, there was also the 1907 carbine. But if you think the snipers are expensive, you don't even want to to think about a 1907.

>>34335818
il keep it in mind if i ever get a bunch of cash. maybe il find a deal on a sniper someday.

Muh milsurp, soon to be returning m24/47 to its original owner. Got the VZ24 to replace her. I really don't care for the Czech front sight protector. I'd rather have a hood. And there are toon many sling swivels on there. Who's idea was it to put two giant ass clumsy swiveled on the rifle. I almost like the Vz24/47 better than the Czech VZ24

>>34336109
well. Just in the previous thread some guy bought one for $335 but that isnt realistic and apparently it was in bad shape. Anything on gunbroker is going to cost absolute top dollar most of the time. I dont know if you can find one for a grand anymore but $11-1200 is probably possible. maybe 100. I dont follow them all that close dont have any interst in them

The mount can be installed/removed without modification to the weapon. I could sell the scope for 200-250, the mount for like 90, and the gun for 300 if I wanted too.

The bolt on my Enfield is rather loose, as in it takes very little effort to open the bolt while it is cocked, is this a safety hazard or will it be safe to shoot?
