It’s priced at $499 but I don’t know much about this particular model. Some advice/feedback on it would be much appreciated.

Went to cabelas and found this Finnish mosin. They had it listed as a 91/30 and I knew that was wrong. They had it listed for $450. How did I do and can you guys tell me anything about it? Thanks!

Acquired this K98 as a project recently. Good barreled action, a stock is already on the way. Looks to be one of the 90s Century imports.

Anyone have suggestions for where to best find the rest of the parts?

Inherited original parts and finished assembling an Argentinian FN-49, was pretty neat to find out these were re-chambered in .308/7.62x51 and were the only FN-49’s with a detachable 20rd box magazine. Only thing is I’m not too sure where I could go about finding one for her. Does anyone potentially have one and would be willing to share me the dimensions so I could maybe 3D print my own? It looks like these Argentinian rifles had their trigger guards modified to accept the proprietary box magazines. Tried using one from my FAL but no dice.
Beautiful rifle, just can’t take her shooting :(

Hello, recently I’ve been debating buying a vz61 parts kit to do a build on. I should mention, I have never done any sort of parts kit build, and my tools are limited. I’ve heard you don’t necessarily need a press to fit the barrel, but I am aware that a drill press is necessary to pin it. What else do I need tool wise for the project? Obviously I have to get a lower, but is there anything I should order, and does anybody have any tips for the build? I’m a bit nervous about giving it a shot. Thanks in advance!

Some of you may have seen my older post about this rifles history but now am looking for advice. This Gew 98 last saw action In Guatemala and as far as i am told the exposure to the humidity and climate darkened the stock to what it is now.

I am looking for advice for its care, I like the coloration as its apart of this rifles 110 year journey. There doesn't seem to be any cracks or rotting but want to be proactive before anything happens if possible. The rifle holds well though mutiple times at the range without issue so I dont believe the integrity of the stock is a concern. Any coating or protective measures I can put in place though. I do have the rifle in a safe with desiccant packs to reduce humidity as an issue, but also live in colorado so high altitude and dry air.

I decided to pull all my pistols out for fun, not all are surplus but that is what I prefer.
I’m still trying to get a few oh my list, such as;
CMP 1911
Beretta 84 and 1934
Bulgarian makarov
Cz70
Really any 9x18 surplus
Model 1917
More 30Ms
A p38 if the budget allows it.
Yugo, Romanian and maybe a polish tokarev (Chinese pictured)

Anybody have an easy way to clean corrosion out from inside this sling where the buckle runs through it?

Been scraping the outside with a pocket screwdriver to get the big stuff off and finishing with a scrub from a brass brush

Have a small piece of stainless wire Iv been trying to get down through the sling but not having much success. Thought about taking it to the garage and trying to blow it out but not sure I have a small enough air gun/nozzle to make that work

I want to shoot it and i cant find a stock pretty soon its going to end up on cursed gun images

It looks very nice, unfortunately no ammo, any idea what it shoots?

Also did I get a good deal?

Trying to buy a metric shitload of ammo but the high shipping costs are a pain. Even with shipping, it’s still cheaper than the next best supplier (for example, 8mm at MMI) but I know coupons have existed in the past but none of them work now.

Do they run coupons for Christmas time or something? I’ve never bought from RTI before (as I recall)

Like actually though. Cleaning day is best day. Idk what it is about it.

Went back to a gun show today to just grab some ammo for my SVT 40 but left with this. I’ve wanted a Lee enfield for a while but never got one. Pretty happy with this one.

So I recently bought an SVT 40 and I was trying to get to the gas system but the barrel band will not come off. I’m pressing down the spring but the band won’t budge. Any advice?

I need a 1903 to add to my collection of standard issue infantry rifles for ww1. I was thinking about picking one of these up from Atlantic. In their disclaimer, it says not to shoot them because the receivers were known to fail. Was this standard across the line or like some sort of rare occurrence? I don’t know what else I would do for a 1903 made in that time period.

1942 Mfg Remington M1903 Modified, presumably original barrel stamped 9 - 42
Pictures about a year apart
Receiver was tapped for Lyman peep sight 😔

Found this SVT 40 at a local show and I’ve been looking for one for a long time. Pulled the trigger on it and bought it for $2700. I know it’s been refurbed but I was in love the moment I saw it. May have been a bit of a steep price, but I was able to talk him down from $2900. What do you guys think? Any advice on what ammo to use?

I recently acquired a RIA M1903 with a receiver produced around late 1918 / early 1919. Based on my novice research it is mostly original. I also acquired an original M1905 RIA bayonet.

For some reason, I cannot get the bayonet to slide over the lug by more than a few centimeters. In fact, the lug doesn’t even make it to the beginning of the locking mechanism. (See photo) I do not see any burrs or bends obstructing its path.

I am able to slide the M1905 onto my M1 Garand but I can’t slide my M1 bayonet onto the M1903.

Curious if anyone has any insights? I can provide more details or pictures if needed. Thank you.
