Congrats, those are nice guns! I have an argentinian mauser coming this week??? (day 6 of nics). All numbers match except for the cleaning rod. I can't wait to shoot it!

My nics just went in on Thursday 2/28 and still no word. I was told 4 days originally, but that's past.

Great job Frank!!

Unfortunately, upon closer inspection that's what I'm thinking.

Nice job, gloss adds a nice touch to it.

Pulled out the arisaka and here are a couple pictures of the bore as it sits now. Do you think it's too far gone?

My 10 month old pit

LOL! Quite a fetish!! I like the history attached to them. My first was an Arisaka my grandfather brought home from Guam in 1945. I was lucky enough to find it in the attic with all the paperwork. Never got to meet my grandfather, so I'm glad I found the gun. Trying to clean up the bore now and see if I can fire it.

I just purchased my first m44 today at a local gun shop. Gun was $225 on consignment, I offered him $200 and he accepted. With nics and tax it was $230. It was a clean gun, bore looked good, markings looked good and price was right. Hoping to pick it up in a few days once nics goes through.

PM sent, thanks!

I have the sling and sights, but no cleaning rod or bayonet. I want to leave it just the way it is, no modification. I did try and clean the bore out. Rifling is very prominent in the barrel when you stick a bore light in it. I was getting a rusty sludge coming out of it at first and then just rusty/dirt covered swatches. I really did not want to go way in depth with cleaning/tear down because I did not want to break anything. Is there anyone you could recommend to look at and see if it can be cleaned up? I wasn't sure if a gun smith would be the right way to go.

Definitely has the sentimental value, I really wish I could shoot it though, but not worth taking a chance on destroying it or worse. I'm actually looking at getting another one that I can shoot.

I have a 99 my grandfather brought home from Guam. It was in my grandmothers attic for 40 years and I stumbled across it looking for Christmas decorations. Also managed to find Army Air Corp paperwork approving it to come back to U.S. The mum is fully intact and so are other markings. Unfortunately, I think the barrel is not in any shape to fire, so it's a wall hanger.

Welcome!

I have to utilize my shotgun for wildlife control and keep it locked in a gun safe with trigger lock at that location. I haven't seen a law regarding them being stored at a persons specific residence. I'm sure someone on here can dig up some more info.

Bordy's outdoors in Florham Park had an indoor range last time I was there. (A few years ago.) I'll swing by this week and see if they are still open. They can do string there. Simon Peter in Andover can also do your string, ask for Tom. I use them for my bow supplies. There is also a range at the back of pequest fish hatchery, nice ride and you can stop at Johnny's hot dog stand.

Good job Ant!! Cryan is next!

Yup, it almost threw me off my game for a second! I was like "WTF, I can't believe I just heard that!"

Agreed

I spoke with him yesterday also regarding the 50 cal ban and rifled barrel shotgun. He admitted that the committee came in with their minds already made up and that once things got out of hand, he just shut down. He said that these laws will do nothing to curb the gun violence we have and we really need to go after the criminals, he mentioned that they would be proposing new laws to go after criminals. (i saw an update from ANJRPC last night about some additional laws.) I also told him that it was lunacy to have ever even proposed having someone come in a home to inspect it and he said he was completely against it and did not agree either. He said he would be happy to talk to anyone regarding the gun law, just call his office and leave a message 201-536-7851. I do not support him in anyway, but at least he did call me back and talked with me for over 30 minutes about my concerns. It's more than I can say for the rest of the libs on the committee! I would recommend giving him a call, probably won't change his mind, but at least he'll get the point that we're not going away.

Picked it up on the ipad, pretty cheap and an entertaining read. Thanks for the tip!

Definitley meets two of the definitions, I think Maks has a case. I was involved in one of these UDRP cases, they really suck big time! Its about $2,000 to clear it up.

Go Allison, you are amazing!!!!!

Nice job McBethr!

Go Scott Bach!
