Just wrapping up my first year as a member. What is the best/easiest way to take care of renewing? Thanks

Thanks~ Guess they missed throwing this one off a 30 ft ledge! The Arisaka is an interesting story. It was water damaged in a fire and completely rusted over. I had to remove the bayo and bolt with a sledge hammer. Took 2 months of sulfuric baths and polishing to bring her back. Luckilly only one tiny spring in the aircraft sights couldn't be replaced out of the whole gun. Bolt and receiver still pitted, but I could kick myself for not taking "before" shots. .

Yep - 1959 . Great fun, designed by the Swedes for Egypt based on the Ljungman.

Gave the collection a breather on a nice Spring day...hope you enjoy~

Nothing like the gracefful lines of an '03 My odd bird SC '03A3 with the '03 finger groove stock.

Take a look at his pic (below)..... then take a look at Norwegian Mausers....Uff Da, youbetcha dat dere's a Norvejin Mauser. :

I'll bet a pound of luttefisk its Norwegian. Ive never seen another with the telltale milling on the reciever. Compare it to some pics:

Beautiful rifle! Here's mine...this one sat in a closet for 65 years! The sling unfortunately disintegrated when we picked it up. You can still see the pale mark in the sling slot from it. Just below that, you can see a strong waffenampt on the stock.

...one more thing about this great peice of history. Did your friend's dad served post war in Europe? Norway received these rifles as part of reparations from Germany, and began to re-chamber for the 30-06 in early 1946. There were less than 250,000 absorbed into Norway's Border Patrols, National Guard, Prison Guards, and Military Police making these rifles an interesting chapter in history and exceedingly scarce.

Ahh.. new clue with that pic of the flattened receiver,,and bad news it was sporterized. You have a Norwegian conversion 98k. It assuredly is chambered in 30-06, and it explains the polished bluing. Very collectible in original condition. Can you get a pic of the top of the receiver ring> We can tell what it started out as....my guess is BYF (Mauser Oberndorf).

Does not appear to have had scope ring turrets so it appears to have been a standard issue Wehrmacht 98k (pre-bubba). Looks mighty shiney, so may have been polished and blued,too. If it was a "sniper" this is one variation of what it would look like. It would take too much money to restore. For pure shooting,... it should go bang and put a hole right where you want it every time.

I'm putting everything into Garand futures....Sell Mortimer! Sell!!

Looks like he found the first add on for the picatinney rail.

Very hard primers. Pick up a stronger #22 firing pin spring from Brownells. Problem's gone.

^^ gone....Sovereign Guns doesn't even have their stuff on GB anymore. Gonna run my Hakim, 24/47 and Turks till my stash runs out (2,500 rds) then probably sell for a more available caliber.

Model 27700 ~ 24" Barrel. I put a Nikon Monarch 3-12SF on it. So far I've shot some Prvi 50 gr, Rem 55 gr through it during break in (results on vid). Next time out I have some Prvi Match 55 and 62 gr. As well as some custom 60 gr V-Max coming out to 100 yds. I'll post results.

Here's mine at CR. I love this rifle!

36" length

Item 1: Barska Red Dot Sight. Never used. $20.00 SPF Item 2: 20 gauge chamber locks for O/U/ $5.00 Item 3: Huge aluminum case. Big enough for two full size scoped rifles (and more) some scratches and signs of use. I have other pics if you like. $40.00 SPF Item 4: Camo fiberglass case for an Over/Under. $20.00 I'd prefer to sell FTF. Best bet is Cherry Ridge on a weekend. Or somewhere in Morris County. Thanks for looking.

Hello all, Any suggestions on shops that keep AR lowers in stock? Thanks

Thanks Deadeye...email sent

Good morning, I'm looking to build a retro XM177 / CAR 15 (with compliant barrel/brake). How do you pin the stock to keep it from collapsing and be NJ compliant? Thanks

I was psyched by the previews, but it seems like no one in production really knows guns! Garand episode: Calling an enbloc a magazine AK47 episode: Showing a graphic of an FN-FAL and calling it an M14 (really?) Showing a graphic of an M16 firing with the charging handle blowing back during function (ouch) Saying that M16 were internally plated with stainless steel to fix the fouling issues. (they need to look up the chemical makeup of chome). These were the only 2 episodes I saw, and that was enough. I'll stick to "Wednesday at th range" on Outdoor Channel!
