Re: Finding an M44 with a good barrel

Arms list is a ok gun trading site, or used to be I haven't even looked at it in a couple of years. There were always a few Mosins on it back when I used it. I've seen one or two M44 sell under $400 in the last year on GB, most are $400 and up, and more at retailers that have them.

Re: Need some help with a poor Mosin

You can find threaded blanks to go in those screw holes, and Tung oil is a good gun finish. Keep the intact one original.

Re: M28 missing some markings

I've got a M39 Sako '44 that appears has never had a mark on the hex, I don't remember the tang date. Also a MO 1930 Izhvesk that has no stamp, but it might have been milled some in the MO process.

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

Hey Steelbuttplate. Thanks for the suggestion. They have many things, but no narrow front sights. Gun Broker appears to but I have had a tough time getting the site to cooperate with me. Lol I know very little about my m44. It is in great shape compared to most of the ones I saw on line. I have pai...

Was the purpose of the high wall just for mounting a scope?

Re: .45 acp

I bought 100 rounds of remanufacture, 180 gr. nylon tip, the cases are were sized small and the bullet stuffed in makes them swelled looking, but this pistol has no problem with them or 3 other ammo's I've tried.

Does the flaming bomb mean it was US Army, or could it have been Home Guard or something else.

Re: At the Range with a Walther PP

William Conrad "Canon". was the greatest pistol shot in TV history. He could hit a man at 75 yds., running, with his 2" snub. He musta had an inside line on the dust.

Re: Broke my black powder cherry

I felt the same way about building a rifle. I always wanted to build one but also knew that such things, even the kits, are not for beginners. Then I found Kiblers Long Rifles (https://kiblerslongrifles.com/). I've built one already and have had another one in the box for over a year that I haven't...

Re: M91 New England Westinghouse with no import marks

U.S. surcharged Westinghouse. I do not know the history of these rifles, although I do have the book that would explain some of it (Clawson's book). It's hard to tell if the stock's finish was messed with. Looks like it in the first photo; however, subsequent photos look OK. Some of the walnut stoc...

Re: At the Range with a Walther PP

Looks familiar. I sure liked mine but could not hang onto it. I didn't have the trigger problem, it must be fixable.

Re: M91 New England Westinghouse with no import marks

Thats the Russian Imperial Eagle, I think Russian inspectors were in the US , and some rifles were stamped by them but never sent , Russia broke off the contract for them.

Traffic had run thru the top of it laying in the road, knocked off the weight of the snow, and the tension of the big...

.45 acp

Has anybody noticed one brand , or bullet type, that is more accurate in a 1911 than all the rest ? I know at least one 9mm and my Tokarev are more accurate with hollow point ammo.
