Oh well that's lame. I will figure out something.

A normal Type99 is still in the 300 dollar range. Your stock appears to have been refinished. Some guys don't care but some collectors won't be interested, some will but will consider the value lower.

I shoot the hell out of mine. At first I shot reduced loads, then hunting loads, then milsurp, and now I just shoot normal M1 Garand flavored handloads out of it. It made it through both world wars and a rebuild in September of 1944 where it got a new barrel, stock, bolt etc. then proofed with a hig...

Here is a great video on what they did with the rifles during their service lives. Quite a bit actually happened to these guns and a lot of it is misunderstood by US collectors.

The Romanian surplus ammo is good to go in these rifles. To be honest it's all I shoot in it. Its loaded lighter that other surplus and has a smaller diameter bullet. Honestly I wish I would have bought a few tins of that stuff before it all dried up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_46JBbQIDSQ&...

"Captured" when it comes to these post war used rifles is a very broad term. Many nations were just given stockpiles of these things after the war. Hard to tell exactly where the rifle finally ended up (besides your collection that is). I would say it's probably in the same price range as ...

That stock isn't normal. It's shorter and the front sling slot is too far back. I wouldn't do anything to that gun until you find out more about it. This is some sort of oddball for sure.

Big old fake. Like the others have said. If you can get it for like 250ish then sure. It's a Mauser it's worth that in parts alone.

Looks like he still had pictures of the rifle before he humped it. Now he is trying to pass of the before pictures as current pics to avoid the BATF. If he posts those before pictures with a new listing then we know for sure that he has ZERO intention of shipping the rifle because the rifle in that ...

You might wanna go look into how Springfield Sold out gun owners in Illinois. I won't be buying from them anymore.

Looks just like the wood on my MAS rifles. I'll say it's Beech.

The early finger rest guards were a lot longer weren't they?

I also think it's just a repair. I think one of mine has something similar behind the rear tang.

I know a guy that can put that stock back together and you hardly would even know it. I wouldn't bother myself. This guy say his father was a furniture carpenter, and his mother was a termite! :chuckles: I believe it. I think leaving it tells a more interesting story than fixing it and trying to ex...

Well duffle cuts were not some sort of standardized military procedure. They cut it where they needed to so it would fit in the bag from what I understand. The worst one I seen it was cut just ahead of the recoil lug in the stock. Cut the damn thing in half! I have a 1942 DOU as well but that one is...

I'll ask but I'm not gonna hold my breath. I will still check it out though.

Just grabbed a 1944 DOU bringhome. The family had it for a long time since the dad brought it back from the war. They never messed with it since they weren't into guns. The initials were on the stock they said since they knew about the rifle and it wasn't anyone from their family. There was a band o...

I've yet to see a single source of yours SpongeMonkey. What is apparent is that your ego is wrapped up in your answer. I think that if you believed the sky was red you would stick to the answer even if I walked you outside and pointed at the big blue expanse. The date of the adoption of the cartridg...

So you're saying ammunition that was developed for the rifle isnt safe for it? Where are you getting THAT information. Gp11 was developed FOR the K11 rifles. No it was not developed for the earlier Swiss rifles. It was developed for the K31 rifles. Do your own research. I am not going to spoon feed...
