If I were able to release some of the videos of the stuff we see at work, I gurantee that you would never get in the water again!!!!!! Damn secracy agreements

I will put my monster against any remchesterby up to 500yds. If I can shoot less than 1" at 200 yds with milsurp ammo that is over 50 years old, I cannot imadine what it will do with handloads. A mosin is a great platform to squeeze accuracy from. Just a little work and you can make an insane shooter. If you haven't shot one then you don't know what you are missing out on.

I use an AR trigger in my mg42. No matter what i tried the pins would walk out on me. I ordered a set of trigger and hammer pins from midway that have little Allen head screws that hold them in place. I highly recommend them!!!!!!

Well I am back on land now. We got evacuated today because of the storm. Nothin like sittin in a hotel drinking beer watchin tv and getting paid for it.

Bumble Bee Ham is opening a processing plant and deli in New York just two blocks away from Ground Zero next to a new mosque. The new location will process ham to be shipped out to Bumble Bee Hams across the country and launch a new high end deli on the ground level called Bacon.The feature item is a bacon burger made from ground bacon, topped with bacon served open faced on a bacon croissant with bacon ranch and a side of bacon sticks. This has set off a firestorm between many Americans and Muslims against so-called bacon extremists. Critics claim that Bumble Bee Ham is being insensitive to Muslim feelings and seeking to inflame Muslim sensibilities. Supporters swear they only wish to promote a new peaceful dialogue in Muslim/Pork relations. Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the founder of the mosque was reported in the New Pork Times saying, Most New Yorkers find the placement of Bumble Bee Ham offensive. New York is a big city. Why cant they just build somewhere else? If they really care about healing delicate wounds between Muslims and Pork they wouldn't build in a location where most New Yorkers disapprove. A spokesman for Bumble Bee Ham responded in the New York Pork declaring, We have no desire to inflame or insult New Yorkers by inflaming and insulting them. America stands for freedom and we fully believe in that right. Freedom doesn't include a right to decency or good taste.

Never got your pm. The lugs are the little ears that come off the sides of the bolt head

Well I am off to the "abyss" for another 3 weeks. Our internet connection makes dial up look fast, so if anybody sends me a message while I am gone, it sometimes takes a while for me to get back to you. When I get back, you better believe the cmp trip is going to happen sometime in my 3 week off period. Also in that time frame if anybody wants to go gunshowin' or shoppin let me know. I got the itch again......... PS: Matt I will teach you how to shoot that new purdy mauser when I get home!

These sights may be a little bit of a help!!!!!!!!

they sure are purdy matt. And for 185 for an unissued mauser, you cant go wrong....... Hope ya have fun with em

Why are people into AR's/M16's They have the most fickle gas system out of any rifle on the market(shits where it eats) They are prone to failures and jams( I am a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan and have seen first hand them jam catastrophically when you need them to work the most) They shoot an underpowered caliber that is almost useless in modern combat(why do you think they are pulling the M14's out of storage and issuing them in Iraq and Afghanistan) a little side note: the 5.56 was designed to fight a european adversary. The thought was that the 5.56 wouldn't kill just wound. If you wound 1, you effectively take 3 out of combat, 2 others for stretcher bearers. Hadji doesn't care if his buddy Bob just got hit, he just keeps on walkin' They are made out of primarily plastic so the argument goes both ways.

I love them because they are cheap and highly accurate. And for someone that is collecting, the distributors have so many of them they don't even pick out the rare ones. Last year I picked up a 1943 Finnish 91/30 made by Tikka. That is a very desirable gun because Tikka only made 750 in 1943 with a round receiver. I paid a whole $125 for it and have been offered many times well over $1,000. I love doing a little tweaking to a regular mosin, going to the range and outshooting a guy with a new "Remchesterby," all with a rifle that I paid $90 for. It has happened on several occasions. If you get a good one, they are often capable of 1 MOA or less in the hands of a competent shooter. Any body that has shot mine, know what I am talking about. And for the price, you get a high powered rifle for the same amount of a higher end BB gun........

it is plausible, but without documentation they are nothing. In WWII it was common for troops to take the plexiglass from downed aircraft windows and make everything from knife handles to pistol grips. Under the grips, they would often put a pic of their girl, thus the nickname sweetheart grips. I have seen 2 original 1911's like this that were smuggled home by the GI's that carried them.

I have a little of both on hand. The yugo tends to have hard primers, so unless you have a wolff firing pin spring, you will have sometimes a ftf. The romanian is stinky and sooty ammo but is sure fire stuff. I have never had a problem with the romanian stuff, even though it smells like dirty socks. Aimsurplus has the romanian on strippers for $99.00 free shipping.

Done!

I have heard that those rifles from aim are awesome! But as with any other mail order it is luck of the draw. VZ-24's are known to have very good quality!

I am too much like a boyscout and prepare for the worst. Here we go: Normal range bag: Gunsmith screwdriver kit swiss army knife rags bore snake staple gun with extra staples foamies(ear plugs) muffs first aid kit quick clot tape misc targets mosin bolt tool(even if i am not shootin a mosin it makes a handy screwdriver) headspace gauges sandbags for rests jewelers files If bringing the MG: normal shooting bag hammer punches wrench set adjustable wrench allen wrench set files sandpaper

The south park parody of it was great!

Well my WWII blade collection is almost complete. I just picked up a beautiful m3 knife for a song and a dance from a local guy in town. M3's are highly prized among collectors because they were issiued to troops that didn't carry a weapon that had a bayonet, or more famously they were carried by paratroopers. I have been searching for years for one in great+ condition that didn't cost an arm and a leg. My search paid off today!

I would normally say that m44's were sighted in with the bayo extended. But in the pics you have it extended. I guess just need to adjust, maybe the front sight got bumped when it was in the crate.

I tweak the triggers on some of my nicer guns to about 1.5-2lb with almost 0 creep. It makes more precision shooting possible and enjoyable. Many mosins have horrible triggers from the distributor. I had one that literally had a 15lb pull, so a little stoning, polishing and drilling and I had my precision trigger.

Looks sweet Sloop! When bedding, I do the same process as the box-o-truth, but prefer to use gear oil as a release agent. I have had some hairy moments trying to seperate the stock from the receiver using turtle wax. Once I switched to gear oil, not a single problem. We gotta get a board shoot for mosin madness going one day.

Well I finished another one today. Scope is an original and the mount is a post-war Ukranian mount. The mounts are top quality and the best around IMHO. The shellac on this one was horrid and I tried something different on this one. I stripped it, did an aged oil finish and topped it off with some Toms 1/3 gunstock wax. I still have another coat of wax to do, but it is amazing. It really brought out the grain, the pics dont do it justice. This is a 1944 Izhevsk with a proper 1944 scope. It shot good groups with iron sights over the weekend, now just to see how it does with the scope!

a trigger mod is easy and reversible ray, go and buy another trigger spring(sear) and modify that one to get a nice trigger. Save your old one and if you dont like the modified one, slap the old one back in.

oooh I see a double headed chicken there krd......... Sweet! is it yours?

I have looked at them and they are obvious refurbs that you can easily spot. The barrel bands and other small parts are parked and they should be blued. They do look ok, but if you are looking for a good collector, I would just get a regular 03a3. Also it seems like the going price for a regular 03a3 in nice condition are actually cheaper than those.
