Don’t really know anything about these rifles in general much less this variant, other than Forgotten Weapons video of these. Just curious if anyone knows a rough price value on these? It’s currently priced about the same as a no4 mk1 and I am considering snagging it up today or tomorrow.
It kicked way harder than I expected it to.
Also it was easy to take apart, I’ll probably make a video soon tho because I couldn’t find one online anywhere. The trigger was pretty annoying to get in and out.
Wanted one of these for a while but didn’t wanna pay market, finally found one under. Fun rifle, as handy as I imagined. Looking forward to taking it hunting. I will say, people always sorta sell these as being easy to feed because they’re .308, and it’s true, but man it’s kinda blunted by the actual experience of shooting a 18” .308 carbine lol. I wouldn’t call it an all-day fun gun. Definitely glad I got it though!
Went to my FFL today and picked up a pistol I bought a while ago. French Contract Savage 1907, checks the boxes for French sidearms and made in NY. All thats left now is a Ruby and I will have examples of all French sidearms from WW1 through the First Indochina War.
My boss has these two bayonets on display in his office. I’m trying to figure out what they go to.
Only been old enough to actually buy firearms for a few years now, huge laundry list of rifles and pistols I want to eventually own but it just feels like I was born in the wrong time for this as prices get more and more ridiculous. Got lucky on the Garand though was passed down to me from my grandfather, same with the carcano. The Vetterli I got for 200$ and the K11 I managed to talk them down to 400$.
All matched 1915-1916 production C96 in .30 Mauser with original stock. Came with 200 rounds of PPU for $2100.
Couldn’t help but pull the trigger on a $99 Grade C Steyr M.95 carbine from RTI. It’s pretty worn and the pricetag reflects it…but I knew what I was getting into and honestly love it for the price.
Any thoughts on what the tacks in an I-shape on the buttstock symbolize? I’ve heard of Christian graffiti found on these rifles but otherwise have no idea…TIA!
Got my service grade in today! 1943 colt frame and Remington rand slide. Definitely a mixmaster or parts but definitely happy with what I got.
Hi all, I've recently acquired a very nice No 1 MkIII* Enfield Rifle. I've fired S&B and PPU FMJ rounds through it, and unfortunately, both brands were keyholing at 25 yards.
I contacted Brian over at BDL LTD to look into possibly re-barreling the rifle, and he suggested I try Mk 7 or Mk 7z spec bullets first. Is there any new manufacture .303 that meets that spec or is close?
I'll add that both types of ammo were swallowed by the muzzle when performing a bullet test.
Hello I have a question. Does somebody have more info about this Luger I can buy? And how much would it be worth
All matching numbers.
Hope to hear
Cheers
I just bought a 1943 Husqvarna M96. In really nice condition, I just wanted a good shooter. I'm a bit confused about all the differences in Carl Gustav, Obendorf, Husqvarna. Some made at the turn of the century, some made in 1940s, etc. Is the 1943 Husky receiver any different, stronger, same? I'm hearing conflicting things about these being the ones where you need to be careful with 6.5x55, some say it's only the M94, some say it's all M96s, some say it's only the early 1900s M96s.
I’ll go first: The Mosin is more accurate of a rifle than you are a shooter.
Shooting my type 99 this weekend, was able to shoot a 4in group at 100y with norma ammo, very impressed.
I collect bolt action rifles as carcanos and Gustavs but I need something shorter in a said hypothetical situation, Obviously something from the milsurp word. So, what have you choosed for this role?
I’m probably just looking in the wrong spots but it seems everytime I look around nothing in available, it’s in bad condition, or expensive
