Nothing beats a rod and a brush.

Lots of variables here, trasit chest, matching scope bracket, numbered stock, FTR'd. Normally about 1500 without the scope, and with scope and all proper accessories nearing the 4k mark. Like I said way too many variables.

Armor All and tung oil 50-50 mix works wonders......

nice!

I went to a local auction yesterday and picked up a nice 1945 Berlin Luebecker G43 sniper. The gun is 100% matching but unfortunately someone put a coat of shellac on the stock and some of the smaller hardware, which i will take care of shortly. The scope is original and a Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger for a FG-42, the mount is original and numbered to the gun. The bore is 100% mint and internals are nice and clean. I ordered a shooters kit for it and when it comes in, I will give a range report. Someone made a comment of "why would someone want a gun with swastikas on it......." I laughed and bid and got it for opening bid.

and the rear base on the reciever is for a diopter sight.

try diving boots sold at dive shops..... its what they are made for

Robert, I think I have a sight for ya in my stash and we can fix that butt plate right away. Swing by whenever and we'll knock it out

Don't discount the big old scopes, they are amazing

Birch stains great with leather dye, many regular oil based wood stains leave birch looking splotchy. Nice gun

The base on the barrel is for a Unertl type scope there should be one more further up the barrel, put a unert , litschert, or fecker scope on there and call it good.

Robert, my unissued savage has the king screw peened from the factory. Post pics and I'll give you some info

With a nice tight throat a crown refacing may do wonders for those readings

newer guns arent investments, especially any thing polymer..... They are still injection molding them. Military from the world wars is the way to go, there are some excellent deals out there. Someone I know recently picked up a luger that was surrendered by SS Major Gustav Knittel to Michel Thomas and brought back with paperwork for $600.00. if you can find history or provinance it makes things more and more valuable. Because of Knittel's role in the Malmedy Massacre, and Thomas' role in counter intelligence, that pistol is absolutely priceless.

I must be pretty darn close considering my shooting schedule

Rig or lps3

Turn it upside down when cleaning.

I was at this store over the weekend and they had pallets of these. $7.99 a can http://www.unclesamsretailoutlet.com/Ammo-Can-M19A1-8140008282938-p/144.htm

Garden State Underwater Recovery Unit. Gsuru.us they are 100% donation funded and all volunteer. They help flood rescues and help find drowning victims. They helped a lot during sandy and didn't ask for anything in return.

A long time ago I was a member. Lemme see if I remember my login

The match is on a page of its own, nothing including commercial comes close. kaiser, gimme a shout next time I am home and you can come up and we'll make a bunch.

Don't bother reloading and get the spam cans of the MATCH x54 at grafs. The stuff is amazing and I can't hand load like that quality for that price.

I anneal with a drill and a 9/16 socket and torch, run up in the trim die, neck turn, and then resize. I average about 150 an hour once I get rockin and rollin

They keep talking about global warming.... It feels like we are going into a mini ice age! Nice Pics
