'Surp and food edition. What do you feed your milsup
>>35039178
is... is that a potato pancake?
>>35039376
No, its just normal pancake mix, but I put chopped up breakfast sausages in the batter.
>>35039376
its a Blin.
cyka bylat, western musor.
>>35039444
How thick are the pancakes anon
>>35039567
Around
1/3 inch.
Sweaty Ben has more Mausers.

This is my thread; it was made for me.
>>35039646
>Sweaty Ben has more Mausers.
So does Allan Schisel; he's got a couple more Lee-Enfields as well.
>>35039178
Thought those were dumplings at first
Your "food" is shit
>>35039678
Fuck that bread looks good
>>35039694
>Your "food" is shit
Nice 'surp.
>>35039752
>post more bread and 'surp
Well since you asked.
Seriously: made for me.
All those Mausers from classic arms are already gone.
>>35040893
Good.
>>35040893
How many war eagles did they have?
>>35040936
A couple, but not all of them were German Mausers: there were some VZ 24s in the mix
>>35041004
How much did he want for those?
>>35041020
He had a bunch of Mausers in several different configurations:
$349 for several M48s,
$299 for a couple VZ24s
$699 for 2 Israeli capture k98s (one had the Israeli crest on it).
$749 - $999 for RC k98s
>tfw no War Eagles™
>$1000 usd for a Russian capture k98
Yeah that shit is gonna max out on price
Lol
Got my Remington 1903A3 yesterday. Got it in a trade. I don't think the previous owner ever fired it because it's missing the ejector, and it became pretty apparent it was missing after firing it, so I ordered one, informed him I got the rifle and it was missing the ejector but it's not a big deal, and now he's sending me $10 to cover the ejector so that's nice of him.
Appears to be a new production stock, I assumed so from the pictures I received too, but that doesn't really bother me. The rifle is in phenomenal shape.
This image once triggered an Australian so hard a Bong told him he was overreacting.
>>35041068
That's actually not terrible...

>>35041652
At least you use your guns for practical purposes, though it might be easier to cut that with the bayonet OFF the gun.
>for fags
So...for /msg/ers then. Right?
Gotta have a pig sticker for each of my guns eventually. Though my Vz. 24 bayonet would probably fit on the K98k...
>>35041599
I have a turkroach 98 and I prefer the normal sights on it to the rollercoaster ones
>>35041704
I mean, really, the reason people like the roller coaster sights is for visuals, pretty much no one is actually using long range sights with their shitty standard-issue milsurp.
>>35041685
>it might be easier to cut that with the bayonet OFF the gun.
It was a very dense cake; I needed the leverage.
>>35041704
Baby when you look this good, you don't have to hit anything.
>>35041736
More pics of your pussy.
Damn it. Looks like I'm waiting another day for my M93
Both my Kar98k rifles get Yugo or Ecuadorian Surplus. Any Eastern Bloc surplus for my M39, I try to keep shooting light ball. Right now I have some BXO 66 Czech Lightball. GP 11 for the K31. Enfield No4 MK2 gets PPU .303 British. I don't know if PPU loads their 174FMJ light or if my rifle is just old but my 200 yard setting for the leaf sights hits POA at 100.... The Battle Sights are all sorts of fucked out of alignment.
>>35041747
>More pics of your pussy.
Focus, Anon. We're posting milsurp and food, not Mausers und Mausers.
>>35041778
You gonna get it before the holiday?
>>35041821
>I don't know if PPU loads their 174FMJ light
I have the exact same experience with PPU 174gr FMJ .303 in my No.4.
>>35041778
My M95 was supposed to get here yesterday, but it looks like it won't get here until Tuesday. I wasn't planning on doing anything with it this weekend but it still feels bad.
Raw ingredient.
I need to take more pictures, but I am too lazy and poor.
Maybe one contributes to the other.
>>35041842
Concerning the Enfield Ammo,
What ammo did you fire before that gave you the most favorable results?
>>35041871
>What ammo did you fire before that gave you the most favorable results?
Mk.VII ball from 1943.
>>35041910
>tfw no surplus ammo
>tfw only have new production shit
>tfw don't have any money to get more ammo, much less surplus
Hopefully the interview I have on the 12th pays off, because the need for more surp is about to kill me.
>>35041842
Yeah, It might even been in the shop right now but they still have to log it tonight after closing. Guy I talked to over the phone hadn't seen it yet.
>>35041856
That sucks pretty hard mine. I'm not in any huge hurry in the sense of getting out to shoot, but I want to get it cleaned up and see just what the sporterized bits on it are aside from the peep sight and butt pad if anything else is. I'm hoping the pad is just adhered to the original plate.
>>35042031
*Man
>>35042610
Not the Quesaun! (my attempt at spelling it how it sounds in accent)
Need some help here guys. Calling on anyone who knows anything about 1891 Argentine Mausers. There is one at my LGS, it is in decent shape, all matching from what numbers i can find (including the stock), the strange thing about it is that the rifle is carbine length, but has the 2000m rear sight, as well as a bent bolt (looks original, not a bubba job), and instead of ears protecting the front sight, it has the standard length endcap with the front sight mounted on that instead of mounted on the barrel. The front sight is unprotected, but looks like it was manufactured that way professionally. The barrel ends at the cap with none sticking out to mount a bayonet on. Also, on the underside of the endcap, there are file marks where the bayonet mount has been removed. The rest of the rifle hasn't been touched as far as I can tell, and is in great shape besides the scrubbing of the crest. Bore looks decent. Did the Argentinians chop down full length rifles like Russia did with some 91/30s? Or is this most likely a nicely done conversion? I found only a couple pictures of the style I am talking about. Pic related is the best one. They have $400 on the rifle, would it be worth it?
How many surps do you think will be lost to the flooding in Houston?
>>35041306
That's a big bread
Quick question, how often are you supposed to remove the stock of your rifle to clean it? I don't get to shoot a lot, maybe 40 rounds every two weeks and I clean the bore, receiver and bolt every time.
>>35039444
>>35039589
those bitches are undercooked as fuck
>>35043756
Depends on the rifle
>>35043819
It's a Swedish M/96 Mauser.
>>35043756
I do it twice a year, regardless of how much or how little I shoot them. That's the only time I do any cleaning on them actually.
>>35043968
Thank you, I'll take after that for now then.
Got my Laminate 91/30 today. $210 shipped to me because I have a C&R. Feels good to have a beautiful 91/30 back in my collection. Can't wait to clean all the cosmo off.
>>35043835
Just looks like one barrel band and screws through to the receiver on the bottom in front of the floor plate and behind the trigger. So shouldn't be too hard it looks like.
>>35043968
I personally need to get some finish and get seal the wood on the inside of my Mosin's stock. Just bare and kinda rough wood. Though I don't feel I should sand it because I don't any backward movement from the receiver or downward movement on the cocking piece as I pull the trigger.
>>35044101
I apparently can't type for shit today.
>>35043760
The picture is auto-brightened by the camera, they are more dark in reality. Besides, i like my pancakes a soft yellow.
>>35043968
I like to pull my rifles out and to a complete break-down on them every once in a while. I like knowing how to disassemble and reassemble every gun I own. It's therapeutic for me really.
>>35044023
Nice, $210 is good for a Mosin these days.
>>35044636
I thought so, too. Especially shipped, with all the goodies, and still in cosmoline. They probably won't get cheaper. I should have bought some when they were $80-100 back when I was in college.
>>35044653
My dad paid $99 for mine in 2009. It was a cool surprise gift, especially since he had never even heard of them before he bought it. H was looking for lures in Bass Pro and saw the sale sign, and though he would get one for me.
>>35044714
That's pretty nice of him. I remember seeing ads in Dunhams flyers around that time for either $80 or $100 Mosins. Shoulda spent a little less on beer and more on Mosins.
>>35044744
Yeah my dad is pretty fucking awesome.
Also, just got this M48 ammo pouch, and it has some writing on it. Pretty cool. Personal markings make anything surp related awesome.
LGS has a Winchester 1917 with an extra High Standard barrel (currently has a Johnson rifle barrel)
They want $700. Should i liquidate to buy it or gamble on it being there for two weeks.
>>35045161
Just wait. You can find others for that price easily.
>>35043208
That's an infantry rifle shortened by an importer to resemble a carbine. If it's got a 2000m rear sight it was always an infantry rifle.
>>35043742
4U.
>>35044352
>I like to pull my rifles out and to a complete break-down on them every once in a while. I like knowing how to disassemble and reassemble every gun I own. It's therapeutic for me really.
I might be doing that for the first time next week. Taking a week off from work so I might spend a full day in the basement just tinkering away with all my guns.
I've been on a buying spree lately, so I haven't even shot about 10ish of my guns yet.
>>35044352
It's certainly nice to know and do... Or at least it would be if the striker spring on the mosin wasn't so damned powerful, and the barrel bands are to so tight I need to use a flat head screwdriver and a wad of paper towels or a rag to wedge them up and down.
>>35041668
one of these scopes was just listed on gb for 1500
I love the pig sticker and all, but I wish nuggets could take knife bayonets too (I know that some finnish model does, but whatever)
I am enjoying this edition
>>35047564

>>35041599
That's the best fucking toastie I've seen in my entire life. I need to know the details of that baby.
What is the most one should spend on a FEG Hi-Power?
Can't get better than fresh banana bread and an Enfield
Cabelas has what I think is a Russian capture k98k. Byf 43. All waffenamts scrubbed. Looks all matching besides bolt, though. Small x on receiver. 400. Buy y/n?
>>35049307
>K98k for $400
Why is that even a question? That's yugo mauser prices these days.
>>35049314
It's not, though. Also I'm not really a fan of mausers.
>>35049307
>All waffenamts scrubbed
More likely a Romanian capture. That's a bit high.
>>35049322
Thanks for the info.
>>35049332
It's not too bad, maybe $50 over the usual. If you don't like Mausers much though I'd pass.
>>35049366
Hopefully someone else can get it to start their Mauser collection. I bought some .44 mag bear loads instead because I'm stupid.
Why is this thread so dead
>>35049931
It's a holiday weekend and milsurp threads are never very fast.
I demand more surp
>>35049157

>>35049241
What about genuine german bratwurst or Schnitzel and a G98?
Just got back from a yard sale with my mom. Some damn fudd wanted $175 for a rusty pre-WWII k98 bayonet. Damn it why won't these people just die already.
Went (back) to an estate sale today, found the front end of an SMLE, considered buying it and parting it out, would the bits from the front sling swivel forward be worth more than $5?
>>35046685
They can, it's called the Blokady bayonet.
Try finding one lol
So, got my m93. Sportered totally sadly. Also hasn't seen a cleaning is ages. Old oil,grease and a little rust in outer cocking piece ring.
Any suggestions for something like acetone for helping remove shit?
>>35050972
I meant like a traditional knife bayonet, with a nice handle and all
So with my hopes at an only moderately sporterized M93, dashed. Here's still the final product of the originally 1907 made rifle.
>>35053440
Receiver
>>35053449
Also, is this a possible factory upgrade to give the 93 a gas vent like the 1916 Spanish?
well I just got a super fucking minty modelo argentino 1879 in 43 spanish for 300 bucks at a swap meet.
>>35053457
That probably /was/ a 1916.
hole looks sloppy as fuck though. heres what mine looks like.
>>35054526
It's a 1907 receiver, so it'a likely one that was just updated. And the bolt /is/ that of a 93. Disassembly is exactly as one should be.
>>35054633
But in either case, I got the gun for free aside from transfer fees (30 bucks). So, as long as it doesn't blow up in my face be a bitch with cartridges. The chamber doesn't look pitted and the rifling is strong and clear. My main concern is that it was a neglected piece from a gun show and the inner surfaces of the bolt pieces are surface rusted. Any tips on easily getting that shite taken care of in places I can't just sit down and scrub?
>>35053457
Gas vent and thumb cut in receiver are probably both post-production upgrades. Mine is from 1923 but doesn't have a thumb cut.
>>35054680
Funny thing is, I don't really need a thumb cut. I'm left handed. So I load with my right. x3
>>35054712
>So I load with my right. x3
That's how you're supposed to do it, though.
Found some old 7.7 jap. dont see any headstamps. came in a shitty box on clips. dude said they were from 1944. They safe to shoot out of my early war Type-99? They arent rusty and look no different than the norma or hornady reloads
>>35055470
Then why are thumb cuts always on the left?
Also a question on the disassembling of the trigger guard and mag for an m93, do I need to have (What seems to be) the detente right in front of the guard pushed in to remove it?
>>35055532
it would probably be better to hold onto those, they don't make them anymore you know
>>35055532
Post pics
>>35054679
any unblued parts can be dunked in vinegar or evaporust to eat it away. Bluing would be removed. Obviously not a problem with the bolt.
I would 100% make sure its in whatever caliber it was advertised in first. That is clearly a rebarreled gun, and bubba'd. Get some cerosafe and make a chamber casting. I would be worried its in .30-06 or .308.
>find all matching enfield no4mk1 at pawn shop
>399
>suncorite coating is really shitty and chipped
What do?
>>35057252
Also there were about 100 bayonets on the wall behind the coubter which sucks cause I couldnt really see what they were
>>35055532
Don't shoot them. They're worth way more as is. They're fairly collectable.
>>35057252
suncorite is garbage anyway. literally cancer.
If you really wanted to you could re touch it up. Suncorite 259 is still out there, you just have to haggle and waggle to get it.
>>35057325
All that money spent on rifles
None of it spent on a camera
You didn't even put an FN or Steyr made mauser in the lineup.
>sent from your mom's iphone
>>35057252
>What do?
Nothing. It's no big deal and I prefer originality over "originality."
>>35055569
>Then why are thumb cuts always on the left?
Because there's nothing on the right that you'd have to cut through. It's for the tip of the thumb, not the base, and it's so you get all of the cartridges down in the mag in one quick go without having to adjust your thumb to get that last one in.
>>35057325
Nice lineup.
>>35057347
>All that money spent on rifles
>None of it spent on a camera
Priorities status: in order.
Just won this for $200 plus $25 shipping. Nobody else bid on it which makes me kind of nervous. It looked like it still has cosmoline on it.
Retook my K31 pictures.
>>35057819
>Nobody else bid on it which makes me kind of nervous.
Looks well-used, but not ill-maintained. For $225 you're almost certain to come out ahead.
>>35057849
Looks much better.
>>35057849
>>35057856
>Looks much better.
Yeah, definitely better than before (pic related)
>>35057860
>>35057889
>>35057856
Yeah there like no metal finish left, and on the wood I can't tell if it's finger smudges in the cosmoline or what. In other pictures there's clearly cosmo on the bolt and receiver. Idk, we'll see how it looks and shoots when I get it.
>>35057117

Then don't buy it, spend your money on something that looks better already.
does anyone have a type 44 let alone type 44 cleaning rods. I have the round bar stock I just the dimensions to start making reproduction cleaning rods.
Here's some poorfag stew that was concocted at a Georgia /k/ meet a few months ago. It consists of Ramen noodles, egg, and Vienna sausages.
>>35058114
Those are original rounds for the Type 99 rifle. The Type 99 LMG also used the same cartridge, but they used a heavier projectile for them specifically. 183gr vs 203gr.
If you would like to sell some original ammo let me know, I may be interested in buying some for my collection.
>>35058704
I have both a Type 44 and original rods. :3
>>35057247
Gotcha.
And the guy's at my shop chambered a dummy round also set it in loose. There was a tiny bit of movement with the round, but not enough to say it's long if it were .308 And 30.06 brass would be too long. Plus my 30 cal brush and sponge don't fit down the bore, the .270s I have are just about right, perhaps a little loose because 7mm is supposed to .280.
Plus I don't have the means at home to do a chamber cast, not easily anyways. And it'd cost me 150 (More than the value of the rifle) to get it done at my local shop. I can get calipers to get a better ball park though. Needless to say I'll be test firing with it tied to a tree.
>>35058704
>>35058815
Another pic that I have of my rods.
Btw, your carbine's bolt is from a rifle. Carbine bolts had a small protrusion on the safety knob like on mine. Rifles had the larger protrusion on the safety knob.
>>35058815
>I have both a Type 44 and original rods. :3
Of course YOU would.
>>35058906
Hey! I got super lucky on the rods. They weren't described in the auction, I just opened up the trap and there they pop out. For what I paid for the rifle I could sell the rods and recoup my money lol.
>>35058918
I need a Type 44. Maybe I should stop chasing the super obscure milsurps. I don't even have a SMLE yet.
>>35058815
you wouldn't mind telling me the lengths and diameters would ya. also the length and diameter of the swelled section. I don't care about the thread pitch because it's probably something weird I can't do on my lathe.
>>35058895
that and the dust cover aren't matching but hey 500 bucks. some retard had taken the butt plate off and put the trap door spring in backwards so it flopped around and that's probably why it didn't come with rods. I'm not looking to make perfect repro's just something that passes a 5 meter sniff test. I'll also be making swiss and italian veterlli rods.

Are people really paying hundreds for a nugget? I see some try and justify the price with "accessories included!", as if 90% don't already come with ammo pouches and soviet spearhead
>>35059867
>Hundreds
Try thousands.
>>35059867
The cheapest you'll find them in primary channels is over $200 (at least as far as I've seen), there's no more to import and all the warehouses are drying up.
You can still find them for $200ish on Armslist, but that's the best you're going to get.
>>35059867

>>35060010

>pic related was $225 at a pawn shop near me.
>>35058938
Don Schlickman makes repro rods.
I don't know why you would really care all that much. The rods aren't seen from the outside, and nearly all Type 44s are missing the rods. They aren't even useful for cleaning as the early Type 44s didn't have space for the jag inside of the buttstock either.
Anyways measurements:
Length is 205mm.
Smallest portion diameter: 4mm
Widest portion diameter: 6mm
Widest portion is 40mm in length then flares down for about 3mm.
380mm with both rods attached. The threading starts in the middle of the flared portion. It screws in 30mm.
The threaded portion is 10mm long.
And you're probably right about the goofy thread diameter. I tried finding a nut to fit on the monopod spring bolt for my Type 99. Can't find it. I should probably try to email Don...
But really, you're just wasting your time and effort making them.
>>35059867
Try gun Shops like Bull's Eye for cheaper ones. Got a ex-dragoon for 300 flat. Bayonet, two pouches, cleaning kit (though it was missing a part) and an oil bottle. For us Washingtonians anyways. Still comsoline packed. Dunno if they've gotten anymore in though.
>>35058815
How much would these rounds go for to a collector?
>>35060517
About maybe a $1 a round. More if you had an intact original box which you don't. It sounds like it may be the original box, but maybe the lid torn off. The original boxes were sorta triangular to fit in the cartridge pouches.
For the life of me I can't find an original pic of a box online right now.
>>35060517
>>35058114
Also, show the stripper clips. There is different versions of it. One of the more common clips are for the Type 89 machine gun and won't work in rifles.
>>35060700
>>35060625
And any have a different color of case sealant? The pink/red color is ball rounds and is the most common.
>>35060741
>>35060700
Yea they all have the red/pink sealant

Inherited a k98 off from my grandpa today, he told me his father brought it back from europe.
They had to cut the stock to bring it back apparently so it is bubba'd, any1 know how much it would cost to get a new stock/sling for it?
>>35061094
>off from
woops
>>35061111
Maybe 150 bucks for a stock I think. More if you end up needing barrel bands.
>>35061094
Did they throw away the front of the stock? My understanding is that an actual duffel cut isn't as big of a problem.
>>35061136
not bad, i was expecting 250+
>>35061161
I'll take a picture, sec
>>35061161

Those are indeed late war-ish clips for the Type 99. Earlier ones would have been made of brass. The hole in the back of the clip is to differentiate between the 6.5 and 7.7. They used the same clip otherwise. Any pic of the box?
>>35061225
>Any pic of the box
The box was nothing like wat you said earlier. it was in box similar to the heavy paper boxes that 8x56r ammo comes in. It was disintegrating just from touch.
as such it did not survive opening
>>35061217
Well, I'm guessing. It really depends on if it's an original stock that someone's trying to make some real money on, on like armslist or something, or if it's repro wood.
>>35061094
Made by Berlin-LĂĽbecker Maschinenfabrik in LĂĽbeck.
>>35061217
That's not the original stock....is that a fucking Mosin stock?
>>35061265
>it was in box similar to the heavy paper boxes that 8x56r ammo comes in.
Well, original ammo had similar boxes.
>>35061310
pretty sure it is a mosin stock
sup /msg/ I just bought my second milsurp rifle ever. I got this FR8 for 400 bucks on gunbroker. Comes with the sling and bayonet. I am super excited.
What's some good value .308 I can order for it? And chargers too.
>Surp and food thread that's already two days old
Well, it's not milsurp, but polsurp, and the food isn't cooked just yet. But I was waiting for my cast iron to heat up when I came across this thread.
any1 know what these markings are?
noticed them on the side of the k98
>>35061383
Proofmarks, they are from the German military stating that the gun has been inspected and accepted.
>>35061426
cool, thanks a lot
couldn't find anything on the net
>>35061437
>couldn't find anything on the net
Did you look at all?
>>35061453
what am i supposed to search?
k98 nazi eagle markings?
tried it, couldn't find the exact markings
>>35061437
You seriously couldnt find anything about eagle marks on a mauser?

Literally the first fucking result isn't googling for 20 minutes. Waffenamts are a major part of identifying a k98. There is info about them fucking everywhere
>>35060010
Which Festy you work at anon?
I take it you're in Wis/k/onsin.
>>35061094
I was given a K98, and needed to buy a new stock for mine. I paid about $280 for a period correct laminate stock, including all of the necessary stock hardware. Pic related.
>>35061341
Does your serial number start with FR8 or FR7?
Standard 98 Mauser stripper clips work fine.
The Malaysian 7.62 NATO surplus has worked well in mine.

Anyone else have this problem?
>>35062135
No... Because anyone that stuffs eleven rounds into a ten round mag should realize that either the follower spring is loose or something funky's up. Sooooo... It's chalked up to not being smart.
>>35062135
Just stop being retarded and put ten rounds in your ten round mag.
>>35062186
I tried the softer approach... But that works too.
>>35062028
FR8, I'll take a look at your recommendations thanks.

Oh and the Arisaka was $400.
Too bad 7.7x58 is a bitch to find/load for cheap.
>>35062176
>>35062186
It happens with any amount of ammunition, even just one round.
Nor do I go around with an overstuffed magazine like the fucking imbecile you take me for. It's just something I noticed, you quick-to-judge niggers.
>>35062651
I paid $400 for mine, under $500 after shipping and transfer.
There's two types of gun shows near me, one is small, local affairs filled with old guys selling mostly old guns.
The other is the standard corporate fare with 75% new stuff from large stores.
I go to both, because they both have 'surp, but the smaller ones are much comfier.
>>35062675
>load for cheap
It costs the same as 308 if you reload.
>>35059867
Couple months ago I was at a gun show where a guy had 2 91/30s marked for $600 and he was talking about they'd "come down in price" recently.
>>35063167
Idiots trying to screw people over.
>>35063167
I always ask these people if they know Gunbroker exists. They usually don't like that much.
>>35064385
THEY know, they're hoping other people don't.
>>35059089
>>35039178
>not calling it "pancakes and surp"
>>35064420
Yeah, that's the bad part. Had one seller tell me "Don't matter, it'll still sell this weekend".
>>35057691
Fair enough.

FTFY.
>>35066655
Somehow I don't think 560 is gonna do it.
Whats a good price on a Swedish Mauser Calvary Carbine? theres one on gunbroker for about $855
>>35067405
That's a fair price but the reserve isn't met at 855, so it's probably gonna be around 1500, which is too much.
>>35067418
Thanks, I kinda fell in love with them
>>35067427
The standard range is 800-1300, depending on condition.
Apparently i retook my Type 30 carbine pictures too and forgot about them.
>>35067536
>>35067548
Damn, why do I never get actual cloudy days?
>>35067188

He says that like it means something. For $700 you can buy a new bolter that's probably just as good and comes with a warranty.
Alright what am I looking at here exactly?

>>35068706
can you tell if the 88/05 has been roached?
>>35068725
Not from that photo I can't, but it's a safe assumption that it has, because have. Definitely didn't stay in Turkey long though if it was, since it's not a 88/05/35.
>>35068742
Because most have*
Gonna try to get my hands on that m95 long rifle
So, what would be the best kind of 'food' for even a sporter bubba'ed M93? Doesn't seem to be rechambered from 7mm.
>>35068877
Probably PPU, they tend to be cheap but good enough for a lot of less-common calibers.
>>35068903
That's what I was thinking. Can get it from some local shops for as cheap as 13.50 a box. Which isn't much more than what I pay for WPA for my mosin. Though I after my next shooting trip I'll figure out if Tula is more my style for recoil, plus usually only between around ten bucks a box. That's very much.
Also, for removing the floor plate and trigger guard on it, is there a detente/button I need to hold down as I pull?
>>35068708
Fuckkkk I just moved from NJ. I bought it because I thought it was cool but never shot it. I didnt know it was so rare/valuable when I bought it
>>35069333
Sounds like time for a road trip!
>>35069333
>>35069387
Should probably make 100% sure of what it is before you plan any long trips.
>>35068936
Seriously though, anyone know?
Remember when /k/ had good threads?
>>35069333
while i would absolutely love to get a hold of it. i am probably going to have to hold off on it for the time being. I have most of my money budgeted for college as of right now. and i spent my new firearm money for the year already. the rest of my guns money is for ammo. That being said, give it a few months and ill be lurking around looking for one.
>>35069420
Youtube probably knows.
Anyone have a rough idea of how much I should pay for a good condition carcano? Gun show coming up near me, all I want is 6.5, carbine or full length. Please help, thanks
Just got a m95 long rifle and a bertheir rifle
>>35069903
The ones you posted from Armslist?
>>35068742
How many parts on yours are the original German ones?
>>35069930
Yep. Guy had a k43 and didn't know who made it. If I wasn't an idiot I probably could have got it for 500bucks or less
>>35069961
Damn, you dun goofed.
>>35069948
Fuck if I can remember. I'll check when I get home.
>>35069961
How much you pay for the pair of guns?
>>35070291
$750
>>35069474
Yea let me know. Its a 1903 all matching down to the dtock except the bolt, which is really irritating.
>>35070327
*stock
>>35070291
Probably bought the bertheir because of your shilling. Congratulations
>>35039178
wtf use some fucking baking powder next time, those look dense and unpalatable as fucc

Since its nice and overcast, time for a few new pictures.
Since we were just talking about Gew 88s earlier.
>>35070314
Decent price these days. The M95 in x50 or x56?
>>35070355
I don't hype the Berthier as much as I do other French guns. They're still very aesthetically pleasing though.
>>35070802
8x50
I know fuck all about berthiers. Whats a fair price for one? Its not a carbine which I see much more of and do they all have those flat ends?
>>35070863
Long rifle or Carbine?
Good luck finding/making 8x50R Steyr. Unless you're /k/aptbilly
>>35070880
its a long rifle. I meant to say 8x56. Its been converted. Has the S marked on it
>>35070863
>8x50
I'll buy it off of you for $650.
For the Berthier, depending on condition of course, 450 for a long M16 (what you bought) is pretty average.
>>35068720
HOW MUCH FOR THE M95 CARBINE? Can you use your FFL to ship? I would imagine you are one however.
Is it pre or post WWI?
x56R or x50R Steyr?
I bought some amazon stripper clips for my 91/30, and they are too big to fit into the guide when loaded. I tried using s bunch of force but the damn thing just wouldn't go in at all. anyone know of a brand of clips that aren't shit?

100% bubba. Should look like pic related.
How'd I do? After shipping and transfer it's going to cost $565.

What is the hardest milsurp to clean/disassemble out of your collection? Taking off and putting back on Mauser extractors is the bane of my existence
>>35071404
The only thing I hate dealing with are spring loaded barrel bands, in terms of disassembly.
The ones on my Swedish Mauser's kill my hands and I refuse to use a C-clamp.
My Hakim's gas system is pretty annoying to clean. Properly cleaning it after shooting corrosive is a bitch. You have to remove the entire rear sight assembly to get the gas tube out.
>>35071404
Not counting my Russian Winchester, my Type 30s. Fuck I hate cleaning their bolts.
>>35071404
I'll tell you after Thursday. That's the day I'm gonna take them all apart and clean them. Hopefully.
Seller wants too much for that Ross. 900 and the reserve isn't met? Fuck you.
>>35071221
That's a really good price for a pre-armistice!
Is it matching? What's the serial number prefix? Acceptance date?
>>35071511
Check your email
>>35071075
>phones pictures are too good to post here
>posts shitty photos
Ok
>>35071404
Honestly all my milsurp is easier to disassemble than my newer guns. Mossberg 500s and 10/22s are bitches
>>35071529
Unfortunately the bolt doesn't match, and I'm pretty sure the buttstock doesn't as well.
Here's the receiver.
>>35071229
lol you should have got the krag instead
>>35071690
no doubt about it
>>35071404
Ross Mk2 easily. I still haven't fully taken apart the bolt because of how terrifying taking apart everything else on the gun was.
I will give a shout out tot he m1903A3 and it's separate firing pin nearly shooting my eye out when my fingers slipped while compressing the firing spring so the firing pin shot past my head.
does anyone know what krag versions exist that had no top handguard?
the one I have doesn't look sporterized but it has no top handguard. I see a lot of krags with top hand guards around the sights but mine literally can't do that.
K /msg/, I've got a question. Local pawn shop has a Gew98 sniper, set up with scope, bent bolt and the tools for adjusting said scope. I didn't have a chance to check serials but the rifle looked without any Bubba marks. The shop wants 2 grand for it. Is this insane or a reasonable price?
Pic unrelated, Mosin from recent range day.
Can you smell what the 'surp is cooking?
>>35072000
>a reasonable price?
Reasonable for a legit Scharfshutzengewehr 98.
>>35072000
For an actual Gew 98 sniper? That's a good deal. Which immediately makes it scream FAKE to me.
>>35072034
>>35072104
I had a bad feeling about it. Owner said it came from Canada, someone brought it across the border pre-WWII. Maybe if I get a chance I'll go back and check serials and shit.
>>35072384
Take pictures and ask the experts over at gunboards, or Ian.
>>35071610
If the bolt doesn't match will it blow up in your face?
>>35072439
No.
Posting more surps. The m/96 I cleaned from a previous edition.
>>35072885
So my new Belgian Mauser wasn't feeding more than single rounds. Turns out the trigger guard got bent somehow earlier in life and it was pinching the magazine, preventing proper feeding. So with only a barbeque spatula and an engineers hammer (My garage is a mess right now) I managed to straighten it out and now it feeds fine. However the ejector isn't working either. Anyone have a possible solution?
>>35071404
I had a bitch of a time getting the bolt into my M95 when I finally got it cleaned up and bought a bolt assembly for it.
>>35073448
Kept wanting to close on you?
>>35073356
Make one
>>35073356
Not a clue. Do you have a picture that might help me see it? I don't know why the port would necessarily not work even with the other shit.
>>35073476
>Make one
No.
>>35073993
It's just hanging about, moving freely. Is it supposed to be under pressure or something?
>>35074235
There's supposed to be a piece of spring metal in the ejector box that keeps the ejector popped out (when the bold is fully retracted) so it can eject the cases when the bolt is pulled back. At least that's how it is with my Chilean. The spring in you ejector box may be broken. Try taking the ejector box off.
>>35074334
Thanks, I'll check it out in the morning.
So, I know the action in my bubbaized m93 is 110 year old so I should expect a little roughness/work to be put into moving the bolt, but does anyone else here with a spanish mauser have a pretty stiff bolt during primary extraction? Mine takes some effort and seems to spring back. It's also touchy about the angle at which I pull it back at, gotta be direct back or it stutters.
Who's still hungry?
A lovely way to spend a morning.
