      .22 Krag

      Hey, its been awhile since I have posted, but I thought I finally had something worth sharing here. I won this a few months ago off GB. It is a Krag chambered in .22 LR. Often referred to as a gallery rifle, I think it was the Army's first small caliber training rifle. Originally some Krags had...

      Price Question

      What is the price range on a Turkish 1893 Mauser still in 7.65x53. I have always wanted to add one to the collection, but I have no idea what they go for over their 8mm converted brethren.

      I will likely never do better

      http://imgur.com/a/Anuac I have shared my Krag's on here before, but this one takes them all. I got this off GB a couple weeks ago and it just showed up. Not sure what to say about it other than I might need to quit while I am ahead in the collecting game. It pays to check GB every once in...

      Someone else bought some SKSes

      https://d262ilb51hltx0.cloudfront.net/max/1200/1*kP6QD_WPV2XG2sPtdlYMLQ.jpeg This came from a blog called War Is Boring, lots of interesting stuff to read, but I saw this photo and did a double take at the rifles. Those stocks look alot like some of the recent Chinese guns that have been on the...

      Viewing comments in classifieds

      I got an automated pm that someone commented on a classified, but when I click the link it takes me to the sellers tools page and I cant see comments. I can go to other people ads and see comments in them but when I look at mine I cannot. Anyone else have this issue?

      Historically Inaccurate Photo

      If only this Brit knew how wrong he was about what he should be carrying....the local reenactment group will never let him join. I spied this image from Ken Burns The War the other night, its a bit graphic but a very good documentary. But I found this image particularly interesting. And thought...

      Siameasy

      Other working titles were Siam Shady and Siamnara. Bad titles aside, I grabbed this off Gunbroker a couple weeks back as a addition to my collection of mausers with funny writing on them. It's a Type 45/66 made in Japan in 8x50r and later converted to 8x52r, which means I wont be shooting it...

      Krag Restoration Project?

      So I spent too much time looking at krag parts online the other day and I cant get the idea out of my head to take my sporter 1898 and make it whole again. So I come to you for help. Is this a terrible idea? I would plan to spend about 800 to get a decent original rifle. I think the main pieces...

      Enfield Revolver problem

      So, I recently picked up an Enfield No. 2 Mk 1* and a M57. Unrelated I know, but what can you do. The M57 seems fine, nice example, good finish left and all that. Pretty standard. The Enfield has a problem. They were gunshow buys and the dealer had put a zip through the cylinder. The zip is now...

      Finns at the range

      So, after saying I would get a range report for my new to me SVT-40, I was able to take it out yesterday. I took the Finn marked one out the range along with my Finnish M38 Carcano. I shot at 50 and 100 yards sitting at a bench with no rest. I had the Svt gas system on the 2 setting. It...

      SVT-40

      So I caved and bought a semi-auto at a gunshow, I know bad timing. But hey it was the cheapest one there. So here it is, my 1942 Tula refurb SVT-40. Now with a Ppsh sling and two magazines, I bought it magazine-less. I hadn't seen too many around and decided now was the time to buy. If the...

      Escaped the jungle at the Chantilly show with this

      A No 5 Mk 1, usually referred to as the Jungle carbine. Its a Feb. 1945 dated ROF mfg. 4 digit serial and looks to me all correct, if a little used. With a unit mark, i'm a assuming, painted on the stock. The bore on this is in really good shape and so is the stock minus the paint. So while...

      I'm not good at panic buying/Carcano question

      So I was caught up in the panic to buy guns before the new awb, I came away with these two. An Argentine 1891 from Augie who was a really great guy to meet, and a M41 Carcano from gunbroker. Don't worry though I did manage to get some 7.65 and 6.5x52 before everyone bought it up. Now for the...

      CZ 75B

      After an extra day wait and a day for the gun shop to get the spent casing after I left for work I finally have it and took it to the range yesterday. I had been looking for one for awhile without much luck, originally I was hoping to find a BD but mostly all I came across locally were not Bs...

      Ishapore enfield question/Type 38 range report

      First, I took my Ishapore made Enfield to the range today, and I took some surplus Santa Barbara and Winchester 7.62. The Winchester was the white box that seems to be recent surplus nato ammo sold as commercial. I loaded the magazine and chambered a round of the Spanish surplus and it went bang...

      A box o' guns

      Not a full crate of mosins, but I did build it myself. Side note, to those of you who can do carpentry well or do it for a living, hats off to you because it takes alot of skills that I don't have. It took many mistakes to get to a finished product and not everything fits together like I hoped...

      Arisaka question

      So I picked up a type 99 from another member and It needs some tlc, one of the issues being that at some point in the past the sling swivel was cut off of the rear barrel band. I would like to replace the barrel band but the front barrel band wont fit over the front sight, the protectors on...

      My impromptu Type 53 project

      So it all started when I got the May flier for Century with type 53s in them. They have a special on them and they are cheap so why not. I read they were in rough shape but I figured Mosin type carbines for that price, I got to try it out, its my duty as a C&R holder to find out. So I ordered a...
