Re: Finnish M91 in M91/30 laminate stock?
I suppose if they captured a rifle from the Soviets during the later part of the continuation war they might have gotten a Soviet laminated stock. I don't recall hearing that the Finn's made their own laminated stocks given the huge number of Soviet weapons captured between 1939-1944. I also don't r...

Re: oxidation / verdigris
Evaporust would probably also work. I have used it to soak brass parts, it will tone the metal, but remove the crud. Looks like the bullets came out all right.

Re: 1945 M38 Izhevsk M38 for sale
No, for the tang date you must remove the action from the stock, flip it over and look at the very rear of the receiver were the bolt goes through. There should be numbers and arsenal mark there. Just take a picture of the numbers and that will be what racerguy is looking for.

Re: Made in Russia; Recycled in Ukraine
Somebody gave me a couple of these awhile back, I always wonder if it was part of a tank, or old sewer pipes blown out of the streets from Soviet bombs.

Re: Thought I had a few thousand .309 but they're .312
Everyone gets older and stupid shit seems to happen, nobody escapes that indignity. On a good day I might remember where any of my calipers are, never mind the sizing dies.

Re: Head space gauge
Todd, the board member who was making them, passed away some years back now. There was an imitator, but I believe that outfit vanished during Covid. So far as I know nobody is making these gauges at the moment. You could set a search on eBay and keep an eye on Gunbroker.com in case someone puts one ...

Buy an Enfield, or put them up for sale. Someone would buy them.

Re: Finnish M91/24 Mystery Markings
M24 Lotta rifle with heavy German barrel. These are a treat, I know because I have had mine over 30 years now. I hope you took very careful note of any shims that were under the action around the action screws when you took that apart, and you put them back exactly where you found them. https://russ...

Re: 1939 m38 in First-Pattern Stock
My guess is that's a bringhome from Korea or Vietnam with that look and lack of import markings, I don't even see any post war refurb stamps. That is a very nice find.

Re: Help
Looks like you have a non Soviet proof stamp on the left side of the barrel shank by the wood line. Did you acquire this rifle in a country outside the USA? Someplace in Europe maybe? I know proof testing firearms including surplus ones is mandated in Germany for instance.

Re: Every 1911 needs a good home
I will soon have a 1937 Singer featherweight for sale, but I am not sure if it's strong enough to punch through thick leather. I could have had you a bigger Singer at one of the estate sales I did over the weekend for around a hundred bucks. That one had a wicked sharp looking needle that could prob...

Re: Every 1911 needs a good home
Nice job Steve, make sure you put your name on them as maker. If not then 50 years from now someone will be left wondering who made their favorite holster they found at a flea market someplace.

Re: 1978 late date no maker M39
Any of the things mentioned could be the case, or this is just a training rifle that was rebarreled in 1978. Some years back someone commented on a video I posted on youtube about having been marksmanship trained with the M39 during his military service in 1982, so these rifles were still around and...

Re: Bumper cars..
Nice reasoning. If some guy sticks a leg out and trips a waitress at the diner causing her to dump a bowl of hot soup on my head the waitress is getting a good tip and the bowl is going right up the joker's ass. The one who caused it all needs to suffer, even if it's only in higher insurance premium...

Re: T-53 unique thumb safety
No problem, many don't realize that the Mosin does have a safety, when cocked you pull back and rotate the bolt head. If memory serves you rotate it counterclockwise, if I missremember this someone will be along to correct it. Not my favorite safety, I prefer to unlock the bolt, and remove the round...
