>>34826409

The 1866-1872 Trapdoors are in .50-70. I'm pretty sure that .50-70 was only ever made in one loading.

My 1873 is PROBABLY not safe to shoot regularly with full power loads, so I bought cowboy loads.

They also made a few thousand 1865 Trapdoors in .58

I'm looking at the listing for the Trapdoor I just won and it's listed as having a 23 inch barrel. The picture LOOKS right, so either they fucked up the listing (which I have no doubt they could do) or someone bubbaed it REALLY well.

Posted this over in /gg/ aswell. Got myself a problem here. Bought myself a IMA Martini-Henry MkIV about a month ago. The rifle under all that grime is beautiful besides for one problem. The cleaning rod was so pitted and rusted that it snapped in half. After 3 weeks of soaking it will not moving still. Any tips? Also will that crack make it unsafe to fire? It only goes about 4 inches up.

Just remembered.

Is modern 8mm safe for a gew 88?

>>34833480
Sort of, yes. If your Gew 88 has a .323 diameter bore then yes, it should be safe. They aren't particularly weak actions to begin with. If you have a .318 bore then use properly sized bullets and again, you will be fine. These statements presume that you are not trying to be a dumbass and get 3200fps or something from a gew88.

Lebels are a hard thing to price. I've seen them go upwards of 1850. Not to mention that grey blanket man shill bids his own stuff very frequently.

>>34833594
There is no such thing as .323 or .318 bore. Those are the diameters of the bullets, not the bore. The land diameter is the same, they only changed the groove diameter slightly when going to the larger bullet.

When retrofitting older guns the Germans just opened up the chamber a little to allow more room for the bullet to swage down safety.

>>34832088

>>34833660
>When retrofitting older guns the Germans just opened up the chamber a little to allow more room for the bullet to swage down safety.
In theory yes, though records from the time and today indicate this was no done uniformly. Most likely by now any barrels that would have burst have already done so, but in the interest of safety caution is advised.

I mean, really, the success of a mass shooting is more due to target selection and tactics than firepower. With proper preparation and the will to see it through you could probably get the high score with a Trapdoor.

vz 24 does not want to take stripper clips for some reason. I tried using swedish mauser clips but they don't seem to fit.

I ordered vz 24 stripper clips from liberty tree, hopefully those will fit. Is the thingy that you put the clips in (I suck at terminology) supposed to be this thin? I wanna make sure this thing wasn't bubba'd and somebody just cut that hole there.

Here is it side by side with a swede, as you can see considerably smaller

>>34837520
Your VZ has been flattened so bubba could mount a scope he never used. It will never load via stripper clips, I'm sorry anon

>>34837545
Fug srsly
It must've been the Israelis then, anyone stupid enough to do that would have done a helluva lot more to it

but why?

>>34837582
Same guy that swept rhe bolt back. Probably intended to mount a 1 piece scope mount, and it's easier with the raised portion for the stripper clip guide to be leveled off to do that.

I know you love your new gun and have posted it a lot lately, but it's been bubba'd before you got it, militaries didn't do that to their guns. It's still a cool gun though.

>>34837492

The No. 1 Mk III is better looking, I think I've heard that the No. 4 has better sights.

Get the one you want.

>>34837597
The bolt I'm pretty sure is authentic, look up VZ98N, they are VZ 24s assembled after the war with whatever k98k parts were at hand

Fuck whoever fucked up my other thing though. Are you sure stripper clips won't work?

>>34837612
They sure didn't come with swept back bolts, bent yes, but not swept back like a sporter. And they wouldn't have inconvenienced themselves by grinding away the stripper clip guide, then not mounting a scope.

Only Bubba does those things.

>>34837492
I hated the peep sights too at first. But after some ghost aiming in my bedroom I got way better at lining them up and now like them far more.

But you can't go wrong with either model.

>>34837641
Yeah I looked at it closer and it's swept back, although just barely. Hard to tell. Would it be possible to change the shape without damaging the strength of it if I took it to someone who is competent? Same with the stripper clip slot on the receiver, can it be done?

>>34837654
Not worth the work. Keep it and appreciate it as it is, cos it sounds like it is your first milsurp.

Anon, you don't know what you're talking about, at all. You have a lot to learn, and you're just trying to contort that poor rifle into something it isn't and never was because you're upset that it isn't quite the real deal you thought it was.

>>34837736
You bought a bubba Israeli Mauser. It was never a VZ24. It WAS a K98k lookalike with minor cosmetic differences, assembled by Czechs, used by Israelis, then was molested by bubba in the US before you bought it.

That's it. There's a lot about Mausers you need to learn, and you spent like 2 days earlier in the week frantically making threads about how desperate you were for a 7.62 K98k, and you bought the first thing you found/could afford, and you're now paying the cost of buying without researching properly or even taking a close look at the rifle.

Why do you think I am unhappy with my decision? Yeah the stripper clip thing is a minor annoyance but not something I could have foreseen, and the swept bolt is hardly noticeable AND easily fixable.

If you're a poorfag then yeah, but milsurp isnt' a poorfagsgame anymore. I just paid $2.80 a round for a box of ammo for my 1868 trapdoor, but it's worth it, because it's an 1868 Trapdoor with a an 1863 lockplate.

Insufficient information. How much did you pay?

Whatever your heart desires. K31s are probably still going to go up in price, so if you want one now would be a good time. Same with M48 Mausers. But get whatever YOU want.

The gun show I was just at had a very pretty us krag which had the metal refinished for $825 and a cavalry carbine on pretty good shape for $1300. I want one so bad it hurts

Think I over payed for it. I shelled out 300. It had no sling, no rod, numbers aren't matching. It was pretty bare honestly.
But the most important part (the bore) is in good shape and it shoots just fine. Fun gun, except it is a little on the long side for me. Can't imagine how tiny japanese soldiers effectively used all that length lol.

The single best way to deal with wild animals in populated areas (at least cats) is to use a live trap.
Take your tame cat in, leave the food out in a live trap with a step trigger, like this one. I know they make them in sizes that'll catch raccon dogs and foxes too, if size is an issue. I don't have any raccoons around here, so I have no idea how big they are compared to a cat.
Once your gulible quarry is trapped (or in the morning after), you just walk out and, depending on how hard a cunt you are, either pop them in the head with an airgun or a .22, or drown it.
Remove the carcass, skin it if you'd like, then clean the trap, bait it again, and repeat until the issue has been resolved.

>>34841191
the nazi rounds will work but i can't speak to their corrosiveness. i think PPU manufactures some 8x56r though.

Question for you guys.
Do you think that milsurp guns will actually all be bought from the market one day, or is it possible that once all the old collectors die that their guns will flood the market lowering the prices again periodically?

>>34841750

Most of them will get back in circulation through death, but I'm personally convinced that a fair number are going to be destroyed by anti-fun children instead of being sold on.

Is there any place selling PzIIs?

People are always dying. If you want enough of them to die to have an impact on the availability of milsurps you better stop washing your hands and start cultivating the ol' superflu.

>>34841776
>personally convinced that a fair number are going to be destroyed by anti-fun children instead

This is reason enough to not have kids.

>>34842148
I believe the die off he refers to is boomers. A similar thing is happening in vintage American cars. As boomers age out or die out their cars flood the market. The classic car market is somewhat stagnant right now and the prices have either stayed where they are or are slowly dropping. It's a slow process but it's happening.

>>34854077
I got a Type 38 for $250 CAD. Turns out some older fellow is thinning out his collection since he doesn't have much use for it anymore. He said he'll be in contact with me if he has anything else. And this find was after watching the local used sites for about 4 years with nothing good come up, so it just takes patience.

>>34854110
I love a good Arisaka. My neighbor has a good one, sans 'mum that some cocksucker spray painted black. I've given thought to going over and offering $50.00 and a case of beer for it, because it just takes up space in their safe.

>It's a Finnish Mosin, stamped SA with a large B and a small D. The receiver is hex. What rifle would this have been originally
It's a "B" (Belgian)-barrelled m/91 long rifle that has barrel cut down and placed in a Swedish m/96 Mauser stock painted black.
>and is it worth trying to restore this fuckery?
No.

>>34854227
Yeah I thought it looked too short. Thanks for the info. I wonder how much I could get if I resold it and the other Mosin. I only really want the SVT-40.

I've been to a few estate sales nearby, none of them had any gun stuff at all. I am disappoint.

Anyone won anything from RIA before? I thought the check out said that they were going to call me, am I supposed to wait for that or call them?

>>34857794
Call them. Even if they're supposed to call you, call them. You need to take charge and follow up on this shit with everyone.

It's a shame really. The recoil is nonexistent so it's very pleasant to shoot. But the cases bulging out with the primers half out of the pocket are no bueno.

>>34860555
Uffda, that's worse of than me: I couldn't find any deformation in the casings or primers backing their way out, just pierced primers.

Either way, good thing both our rifles are probably the best gas mitigators of any design out there.

Got to see that famous Arisaka gas venting in action, sure enough.

It's no great loss really; the muzzle on this one is very worn and swallows a loaded T38 cartridge to the case lip. Only one of the two rounds was even on paper at 100 yards.

>>34860677
That's a shame. Did you buy it knowing that? I think I'm gonna try shooting the short rifle with my spare firing pin from a bubba'd K98k in it instead next time, along with newer ammo: I was shooting 1971 Portuguese 8mm.

>Did you buy it knowing that?
Yah, but I only paid $200 for it. I wanted one old enough to have served during WW1, and a Tokyo Arsenal with a 212K serial number seemed likely to fit the bill (1909 production, as it turns out).

>>34860300
Does the bolt and firing pin match? How does the tip of the firing pin look?

I was also gonna ask what ammo you're using, but I see you're using MrNambu.

I'm always checking the local paper for info regarding estate sales and auctions, and what they have gun wise. That's always a good place to look for stuff being sold off or put at auction.

2, my Chilean 1895 and my Gew 88/05/35

>>34862164

I don't even know if the local paper includes info about that sort of stuff.

I called a local Pawn Shop and they told me they have a few Mausers. What sort of shit should I look for that indicates it is bad quality, or I should ask for a lower price?

>>34862881
You're gonna need to be a lot more specific. The term Mauser is so broad it's be impossible to give you all the potentially important details.

>>34862949
That's all they said, I asked specifically is they had K98s

>>34862988
if*

>>34862988

If you asked for K98s and they said they have Mausers they probably don't have K98s.

That said there's a ton of Mausers that are nearly identical to K98s.

>>34862998
Well, if when I go, they DO have them. What should I look for in terms of potential issues?

>>34863009
Sporterization, matching numbers, being captured. Those are some very big, very broad things.

>>34863009

Make sure it's complete and hasn't been cut down.

If it's a Yugo capture then the Nazi markings will be gone and it's worth a lot less (though it's still the same gun), Russian captures have their marking crossed out IIRC, that makes them worth less as well.

Make sure the numbers match, the Germans numbered EVERYTHING, but the big ones are the bolt body, the receiver, and the stock.

Make sure the bore doesn't suck.

It's mostly the same stuff as any gun.

>>34863202
As much as all the markings and stuff would be nice, I more care about it's ability to function.

>>34863248
Maybe so, but those can greatly affect the value. You don't want to pay 600 for a 250 rifle do you?

>>34863287
That's true. Thanks

Firing pin matches bolt body; neither match rifle. Tip of pin is pretty badly mushroomed; mainspring also fells weak.

Can any Tokarev bros help me out? I bought this M57 described as "parts missing" stupid cheap as a project. As far as I can see the only thing missing is the safety that was added for import. The problem is, the magazine won't lock in unless the slide is back, and then the slide won't drop unless it's removed. With the slide forward, the mag wont seat. With no magazine, the slide, hammer and trigger seem to function fine. Any ideas/ suggestions?

>>34863561
Then it's probably the mushroomed firing pin at fault.

The grenade sights are actually pretty cool. I'm not sure what the spinny bit on the other side is though.

I need to find a bayonet now, which will probably be an epic (and overpriced) adventure.

The firing pin tip isn't going to be responsible for the case web bulging out, or the primer cup backing out of the pocket.

My 38 tends to bulge cases, but it's just barely noticeable and has no affect on extraction. I've never had primer issues

>>34863966
Arisakas have very generous chambers. Primers backing out and bulged cases are NORMAL.

Long Mauser anon here? Got my first long Mauser and am inclined to agree. They are pretty great.

>>34863790
everything you described seems normal
The mags tend to not seat all the way when the slide is forward, and the mag follower keeps the slide from closing on an empty mag. You can do without the safety, I'm pretty sure it won't affect operation

Huh...

Not directly milsurp related but relevant to many of the discussions we've had.

So I'm looking at prices for Sig 556s since I'm thinking about selling/trading mine. There's one that was listed multiple times, with a reserve, the highest price it got with the reserve was $950. When he removed the reserve he got over $2000.
