I am not an older mauser guy, but it looks like the rollercoaster sight from a GEW98 on an 1891. Maybe rework for WW1? I dont know on this one, hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will chime in.

Ask matt about what I get, he has seen some of my reciepts so you dont think I am full of cr#@. It is not uncommon for me to come home with a new toy for less than $20.00. But it is like playing the lottery, sometimes the prices are way low, and sometimes they are way high. But you never know what it's going to be like unless you go.

Well I just got back. It was small but not many people showed up. If you were a shotgun guy, you would have been in heaven. There was a nice Ithaca double that i was thinking on bidding on that went for $120.00. Many side by sides going for less than $50.00. That "buffalo gun" I was lookin at on the net ended up being a Marlin Ballard and went for $4,900. And my brother in law got a new in box navy 36cal revolver for $29.00 (dont worry net police he is a pa resident) So overall I was a good boy and didn't buy anything, but there is another one next weekend so I may be bad then.

I might actually have one for you Ed. I got another one for $20.00 the other day with a bad barrel. I am debating on putting a dp28 barrel on it for shits and giggles. If I dont go that route, i'll send you a pm.

I collect primarily bringback mausers. If you need help of any kind give me a shout. I am more than willing to help you out.

I am off to the gun auction in a couple of hours. Hopefully a lot of people are saying it is nuts to go to an auction in a blizzard, so I'll be one of the only people there. Maybe this is another one where i get $10 shotguns again.

now that just wrong chad. roflmao!

I hunt for unknown critters deep sea when i get a chance at work. We work with LSU doing the SERPENT program where they use oil field ROV's to hunt for new marine life. Here are some pics and videos of weird critters that I've held on to. Some are known species some aren't This one is 7,800 feet deep and is still unkown. HE ATE MY CRAB TRAP!!!!!!!!!!

be cautious with spanish mausers. There is a lot of talk that the spanish mausers were not properly heat treated and have issues with headspace. Check surplusrifle.com for more info. I have a couple that have yet to be shot for this reason.

I have been using this program for years and can say it is great. You can log what mantainence was done and when. The pictures tab is great for quick easy identification. If you have a large collection this is a great tool to have.

give me a pm if you end up going to disney. I get almost a 50% discount there because my company does all of the anamatronics and about half of the rides.

that looks like the brass cased yugo ammo made by privi. Try some lacquered or copper washed steel case ammo and see if it still does it. sent by ipod

they are actually quite frequently at the shop in town for 75-100, next time I come home I'll give ya a shout if I see any.

Many milsurp shooters agree that this is the best you can get. It only pops up from time to time so if anybody is looking for good ammo check this out. http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Yugoslavian_1980_s_7.62x54R_182grn_FMJ.html

First make sure your front sight base is milled for a sight hood, there should be a little groove milled into the base of the front sight. Some earlier ones didn't have a hood and dont have the grooves. And all I use is 2 zip ties, one around each side of the hood. Pull the zip ties like handles to spread the hood and slide it on the base. If you run into any issues pm me. Eric

I agree, change ammo and get it headspace checked. If you are anywhere near northwest jersey give me a shout, and I'll do it for ya. Out of the dozens of mosin's that have passed through my hands I've never seen one fail a field gauge though.

There appears to be a safety recall on the Romanian TT-33, just a heads up. http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Romanian_TT-33_7.62x25_Pistol.html

Howdy from Blairstown, when ya wanna go shootin'

If it is a #4, this link will work for you. http://surplusrifle.com/no4/rifledisassembly2006/index.asp if not, just find out what model it is and look at surplusrifle. They'll have directions for you. As for a sling, search flea bay. Sometimes they have originals on there, its where i got the sling for one of mine. They will also have the sling rings, if not check numrich or sarco. An enfield is a great rifle and a hoot to shoot. Have fun, and try not to get addicted to them like mosins.

There is no hope. You can try to resist the temptation but resistance is futile. Just imagine if the milsurp bug hit you a couple of years ago when sks's were $79, and mosins were $39.

It is kinda like playing the lottery with a shotgun. They will announce that "this shoot is for a pork loin, ect. " you go up and buy your blocks which are 4"x4" sheets of paper with an x on them. Once the blocks are bought, they gather them up and bring them outside. 1 at a time they call you up to shoot your block with thier supplied ammo(which they dont give you until you are on the firing line). After everyone has shot, they bring them all inside to the judges who decides who wins. The person that gets a pellet closest to the middle of the x wins.

About a month ago the local gun shop had a bunch of m44's and m91's(not 91/30's) for 100.00 . I liked the price so much I bought 1 of each. I have to go there to check on some ammo for my brother in law so if they still have some I'll post back.

Well I just got back from the block shoot at my gun club. It was indoors so you didn't freeze your butt off, and you shoot out the window. I totally cleaned house,partly due to the fact that I was the only sober person there. They had $2.00 all the beer you could drink, so there were some intoxicated people there. This was the meat shoot so I ended up coming home with 6 full racks of ribs, 4 3ft long pork loins, 2 beef tenderloins, 2 fresh hams, 2 smoked hams, and about 20lbs of sausage and a bunch of veal. Between my dad and I we spent about $60.00 and ended making out great. Now just vacuum seal all the stuff and play tetris in my freezer. Maybe next time I come home I'll cook for us one night.
