Anon. How do you politely tell someone they've over valued their rifle?

Been watching and bidding on a rifle for about a year now, but even at $400 it hasn't broke reserve. Rifle in question doesn't go for more than 300, i can find "top of the pile" sales elsewhere for 150 if i wanted to gamble

If you guys have 7.7 Type 99 rifles, Fun Fact you can make your own brass from 30-06 rather easy, for way cheaper than the obnoxiously high price of 7.7 jap ammo. Also you can use most 7.62 nato stripper clips and mas rifle stripper clips.

Or I can buy PPU brass and not have to dick around with resizing. Assuming 10 loads per case it translates into 6 cents a round.

This mosin is up for trade in my area. I wanna unfuck it, but I'm afraid I might be biting off more than I can chew. Is it fixable? It looks like it should be as simple as stripping the paintjob off and finding a new stock, but the scope mount makes me nervous.

It looks like the mount is on the rear sight, so you may have to replace the rear sight, but it's probably not drilled for more holes.

Its a very interesting subject. sniders, Martinis,chassepot, gras, needle guns sporting variants, trapdoors, early mausers etc ranged volley etc
>>
are rolling blocks fun? I see a couple in 7mm mauser and was wondering how easy it is to acquire ammo and how fun.
>>
>>34421879

I'm actually close enough that I could get to your area then...

Not sure if going into California is worth it though.

Does the store usually have decent prices?
>>
>>34419459
>>34419466

I own several. The are a very reasonable price an I think will appreciate, I also collect the 1866 'yagatans'. Yours is in lovely condition. Clean and put renaissance wax on it. Do you have a gras? I have some versions that were modified to be issued for use with mausers and adapted for other riles used in european national volunteer movements.
>>
>>34421886

7mm Mauser is still common. Not terribly expensive either.
>>
>>34421884
What do you recommend for someone who wants to buy a single one of those old military "fuckyou" guns? I'll buy more eventually, but I want to try one
>>
>>34421886
There is apparently a problem with the headspacing of new-production 7x57mm cartridges in these old Remington 7x57mm rifles; in the time between when the rifles were made and when SAAMI standardized on the cartridge dimensions there was a change in the case dimensions of most commercial 7x57mm cartridges. Therefore most commercial ammunition is not safe to fire in a 7mm Rolling Block, and they are a hand-loader's proposition only.

For investment or shooting?
>>
>>34421912
Pretty good prices. Great staff in a small shop with a mix of blackpowder, milsurps, and tacticool shit. Cheapest transfer fees around. One of the employees was telling me about it about a week ago when I was fingerfucking milsurp.

Said that they will cycle parts of the estate into the store since they can't fit all the guns. But if you ask for a specific gun they will check the catalog and find it or something like it. Problem is that they are still a few weeks out from doing that
>>
>>34421925
>y "fuckyou" guns

They are that. Both in terms of cal and as hand to hand weapons they are something else. It is no wonder that African colonization was so rapid in the 19th with these beasts issued to imperial forces. Volleyfire at 1000 yards from these is devastating, like a belt fed 50. A hit from these and no one is getting up again.
>>
>>34421945
Shooting. I like to see how old stuff works and go through the process of making it work. I imagine there are some that are more accessible, in terms of obtaining and operating, than others.

I have no experience with black powder
>>
>>34421945

For shooting - you will have to get into reloading BP cartridges, bore slugging, casting, annealing, fire forming brass, possible beredan primers etc. Great to learn and hobby. For investment....well the fine Lodon sporting guns with artisan work. After that as old as possible and in the best possible condition. Many were still in use at the beginning of the 20th century and even ww1.
>>
>>34421934

well fuck me sideways. would PPU work since they try to maintain older dimensions?

I haven't quite gotten into reloading yet.

>Shooting. I like to see how old stuff works and go through the process of making it work. I imagine there are some that are more accessible, in terms of obtaining and operating, than others.

Well there are some hazards so maybe as a first a martini, largely because the action is so strong it will help you stay safe. The gras and mauser 71s are nice to. The older ones have more of the hand to hand weapon it them a three band snider with a 1853 bayonet is a formidable weapon unloaded. I found the 1871 mauser a very tiny weapon in comparison, brass will be expensive but can be used almost indefinitely if treated correctly
>>
>>34421984
You may ind that the likes of the chassepot is almost overwhlming in the learning curve with the obduration washer, firing pin and cartridge construction. same with a Dreyse. So that would bring you into martini, snider, mauser 71, gras, Vetterli etc. Have a loo at the comparison table here at the bottom of the gras article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusil_Gras_mle_1874

some have bigger support communities than others, most french and british guns have shooting communities supprting them though you would probably hit a wall with language on some of them. Some have very few if any shooting them and you would need considerable skill to form cartridges and loads. I ind them surprisingly accurate if loaded correctly and shot doped scientifically (ballistic calc, inclinometer, kestrel, inclinometer, spirit level)

always remember no matter what you read

1)no smokeless single or double base in these
2)Never mix smokless and bp

4)Be enginerr/science is your friend there are a lot of bad advise offered as gospel because it worked for someone stupid a few times

I don;t buy from them (shipping is a pain for me as I am in europe) but you could try a martini from IMA.. You get to sit and watch Zulu with it as a free bonus.

It is worth it because the history can be so fascinating and they really are great guns. I have good access to modern firearms if I wish and spent a long time enjoying benchrest builds and varmint rifle making (accuracy freak) before drifting into this. .

A lot of these were originally the long rifles, rebored and cut down to carbine length. This was made as a carbine, which I think is really neat.

The 1866s are for the Chassepot, though they can fit on a Gras.
Nope, I do not have a Gras rifle yet. I will be looking for one now that I have a bayonet and the dies to make the ammo coming in soon. lol

I don't think Gras or Chassepot bayonets are going up in price soon. They made a lot of them. I keep seeing the same Chassepot bayonets at gun shows for $150 and no one even picks them up.

While commercial ones generally will have a spike, there are plenty of military ones with spikes since they switched in the late 60s IIRC.
>>
>>34424344
Well shit.
Are there any other indicators that it could be a commercial version?
>>
>>34424369
It's hard, just look for early vs late production
the earlier ones will generally have darker stocks, milled triggerguards and threaded barrels. But it's not definitive. Generally if the gun was imported before the 1980's it's military.

Bros what is a rough value for an original, complete Krag? An actual long rifle and not a Carbine. There's an estate auction near me next month and they have one. It's been poorly advertised and there's one crappy pic of it so I'm hoping I could snag it cheap.

That's paint. Cosmoline is a thick grease, it's shades of brown depending on how clean and new it is, it's a little sticky, and has a not-unpleasant petroleum smell. It makes metal feel slightly moist and tacky; it looks like there is none on that sheath.
You'll probably take a lot of fire from /msg/ if you wire-wheel the paint and rust off, but it's up to you of course.

Found this bayonet today at a swap meet. Can anyone ID what nation these markings come from? They look almost hebrew, but from what I've seen Israeli bayonets have the metal ring added on. I know it was originally produced by Mauser Obendorf in 1915 based on the other markings.

From what I can tell it's a K98 bayonet.

Arabic numerals. It's probably a German SG.98/05 that was cut down by Turkey. They did that to a lot of the longer German bayonets they got in WW1; that way all the blades could fit in the same scabbard type. Happened to one of my German "Ersatz" bayonets.

Sure. Just be gentle with that wood. I made myself a spanner screwdriver for taking apart nuts like those. You just take an old one and grind a notch in the middle.

How do you gently remove the cosmoline? I assume with a hairdryer and a cloth? I don't think anything involving solvents would be a good idea at this point.

There's a reason for that. Seriously, and it's not the FFL trying to be a dick.

>used to work for an FFL
>circa 2009-2010
>individuals mailing in firearms for transfers (our customers buying on GB or Armslist mostly)
>sending guns in boxes with nothing attached to it.
>we have to log anything that comes into the store and stays overnight.
>imagine how hard it is to log shit when you know nothing about what's going on

If individuals would use some common sense, more dealers would allow it. Basically:

>package the gun properly
>include an invoice
>invoice should have your contact info and the buyer's contact info, especially a fucking telephone number and a name
>include a copy of your DL since you don't have an FFL copy to enclose

etc. simple shit, but you'd be surprised how many guns we got in the mail that was nothing but gun inside a box. and then half the time our fucking buyers/customers wouldn't even tell us that they had something coming in, so we literally had no fucking idea what these guns were for.

ATF don't like shit like that, so we don't like shit like that. If they come in to do a check, which they probably won't but if they did, that shit has to be accounted for. Telling Mr. Dog Killer "uh, we got this in the mail and know nothing about it" ain't going to go over well.
