Post whatever you want. No rules.

Dog edition, you say?

It's nice to shoot your milsurp every once in a while, I should get my shit together and start reloading again. I miss shooting my arisaka.

>>63996910 (OP)
Rip pup.

>no dog
i'll just repost the turtles then

I’m up to my ears in SKS stripper clips.

Any dog weighing less than 50# is legally a cat.

Why must I be responsible with money? I wish I could blow through thousands like the boomers I see locally at auction.

Those are fine looking Frens, bros.

Don't have a pet to post, have this instead.

>>63997903
>settle
Don't mind settling but the local one is not gonna be available for a while.
>>63998174
>M or W?
It's a W. Gewehr 41Ms are exceedingly rare. Though I'd love to add a 41M to my collection if I ever had the chance.

>>63999543
Based recoil operated Martini-Henry owner.

I’ve purchased a 1924 yugo mauser and I cannot find a straight answer on this. Does this shoot rimmed or rimless 8mm? I put a rimless 8mm in it and it will not eject the cartridge. I need to know if I need JRS ammo or a new extractor and already were to get one.

>>63996910 (OP)
I got her ashes back yesterday,though I realized something comforting earlier this week. Even though she passed, Hazel has never left. and I feel her presence all the time now.
>>63997485
Yes though cats are cool too. My other shepherd loves this cat, though Hazel was always indifferent towards him. It was rare to get pictures of her still, much less with the cat.

Got an Astra 900 for a decent price, I think. Much cheaper than What I see German ones going for

>>63999562
>exceedingly rare
Yes. I just saw one on fuddbroker or some such site last week funny enough. Wondered if it had caught your eye

>>64000764
>”astra”
Oh those ridiculous espanish.

>>63998172
theyre about 11 years old.

>>64002357
I’m sorry I didn’t acknowledge your little friends last thread. How long do they live? I never thought that about little fresh water testudines

>>64002413
Red Eared sliders can go for ~20 years so ill get another 10 or so years out of these 2.

>>64002502
You got them as babies?

>>64002617
Yes, they were hatchlings when I got them. I would say around 1 or 2 months old maybe. A co-workers dad was like, "I got them at some flea market" and my co worker didnt want them so I offered to take them.

>>64002697
Nice

>>64000629
M24s should shoot rimless. My m24 is a rework 24/47. Great rifle. A bit odd looking as it’s an intermediate length Mauser. Not a long boy, not a carbine.

I have a bunch of .30-06 I am selling. What should I price everything at?

I have:
- 3x 240rd cans of CMP sold delinked .30-06 (LC69)
- 192rds of KA73 (korean, corrosive) on enbloc slips.
- 200-300rds of once fired brass (mix of HXP and PPU)

>>64004956
About tree fiddy at best.

>>64002502
I have a Russian Tortoise about 26 years old, a lot of these guys live for a good chunk of your life.

AHHHHH I THOUGHT YOU TOLD ME THE MARKET WAS COLLAPSING /msg/

>>64005423
Only the antique dated ones go that high and only on dealers that will sell to Canada.

>>64005423
QUIT TRYING TO BUY ANTIQUES YOU SYRUP SLURPING FELON

>>64005656
antiques are the only handguns canadians can buy so expect the market to continue skyrocketing

>turns out CMP only has 15 legacy rifles in total available each week.
>had to shut the entire CMP forum down due to a "glitch"
I fucking hate these people, their guns aren't even that cheap

>>64006237
I'm pretty sure 80% of CMP sales goes to boomers who are flipping them

>>64006267
>we changed our policy from buying 1 rifle per lifetime to just make sure you don't buy more than 20 in a single year

Had this Garand for 10 years now, got it off a dude for 200 bucks. Originally met up with him to buy a dual sport off him, evidently his wife was making him self stuff. I asked you selling anything else cool and his wife started saying "ohhh yeah make an offer on anything in the garage". Saw a gun sock in the garage and took a look, saw this the Garand and offered 200 bucks. Still can't believe they accepted that.

>>64006267
always has been

>>64006325
I’d sell a garand for $200 if I liked the kid and believed in him.
I’m not dying with a boomerhorde

>>64006267
How many young people are even apart of a shooting club?

>>64006413
I was like 30 when this happened, my kids are getting my boomer hoard.

>>64006416
me, I have been to appleseed events and I don't even qualify for a CMP garand unless I buy their gay monthly subscription membership

>>64006437
Ever see any kids at those Appleseed events? Trying to find a youth rifle club for my oldest boy whos 11 and I cant find anything.

>>64006449
yes, there are always several parent/child groups there.

>>64006416
Boomers gatekeep the living shit out those clubs majority of the time, I'm convinced they don't even their rifles, they just sit around and talk about their rifles. For fuck sake I literally gave a boomer a mini heart attack on time when I told him I was going to use an East German half shelter as a tent that I bought off him. Dude what the fuck do you think I was going to use it for?
That said there are boomers more than happy when the new blood joins their club.
Kinda looking for one that does Frontier shit like Black Powder/Cowboy Era meet ups. I just want larp in my blanket coat with my Trap door Springfield.

You guys shoulda been around when the Civil Operators Gun Club was active. PEAK /k/

>>64006459
Thanks, will look into it to do with my boy. Lord knows I could be a better rifleman.

>>64006467
I was, i've been posting on here for a long long time. Do you remember that GIRL! trippfag who posted pictures of a chick with pmags in her panties and stuff saying that was them? Then they blew their cover and it turns out it was pics of the dudes sister.

I bought liberty tree's last M96 front sight hood... I don't even have my M38 yet lol.

>>64006416
idk but I got my CMP shit from being a zogbot, sent them a picture from dd214 to get my garand and carbine. I'm pretty sure thats how most young people got theres

>>64000629
As the other Anon said: all Yugo M1924s were originally in 8x57IS. What country are you in? In some Euro countries there were time periods when their laws forbid civilian ownership of firearms chambered in "military" cartridges so many milsurps would be re-chambered into something similar but just different enough to escape these regulations e.g. reaming 8x57mm Mauser rifles out to 8x60mm.

>>64006267
Somewhere I have a couple CMP M1 certificates that a Boomer forgot to remove from a long gun box before he re-used it to ship me a rifle. They were dated only about a month before I received them.

>>64006325
What a deal. Nice dog and Garand.

>>64006856
C&R FFL fulfills the marksmanship requirement as well.

>>64006674
Uhh look again frend

>>64006517
No shit? Really? Hell they had BFAs and 5 different grades of slings. I figure they have an endless supply cache of Swede militaria and such small cheap accessories like hoods and caps and such

greets, k
had a split case on one of my berthiers.
fired 4 rounds no problem, 5th cracked, smoked a bit.
its an older ppu factory round.
the rifle has a balle N chamber, so its a generous sized chamber.
like on all my berthiers the brass comes out a bit bulged, but this is the first split case.
rifle is all numbers matching and proof shot (german proof, 15 yrs. ago).

is it true that split cases happen in berthiers due to oversized chambers, esp. with ppu ammo (they load to tight icp dimensions, sometimes hard or little annealed brass)?
armorer says he doesnt really know, dont fire too much out of it.
headspace seems ok.
chamber no visible rust pits or other damages.
thoughts, /k/, has someone experienced this too?

>>64007148
the rifle the split case was fired from

>>64007148
nerver had an issue shooting PPU through both of mine, even this piece of shit.

>>64007148
If it's a repeat issue then there's cause for concern, but unless it keeps occurring I wouldn't worry about it. You might do a chamber cast, measure the resulting dimensions and compare them to the ideal chamber specification.

>>64007148
If it keeps happening what will you do? Pull bullets, fireform blanks, anneal and reload? Seems like a lot of work

>>64001794
>Yes. I just saw one on fuddbroker or some such site last week funny enough. Wondered if it had caught your eye
There's a single receiver on GB rn, though it's $1k for just the receiver. The few complete rifles I have seen pop up over the years usually run at least $10k or more. Ironically, I've seen more 41Ms in person (2) than 41Ws(1) but one was heavily sporterized and the other had a broken stock and was missing parts. It's rather hard to find original, untouched German semi autos, most either have issues with their stocks (sanded, bleached, cleaned, etc.) or are sporterized.

>>64009179
Nah it was a complete intact looking weapon. It was indeed 5 figures.

IT'S OVER

>>64009266
I’m starting to wonder if I should’ve bought a bunch of K31’s cause I’ve found them for like $400-$500, I’m sure 10 years from now I’ll regret it but I love the one I own so I don’t really need more

>>64007148
It's fine. They have generous chambers, as you know. If you reload, just neck size the fired cases. Just keep track of your brass and use it only in the gun it's sized for.

i recentky picked up a chilean 1912 that was converted to real fucking nato. it shoots like shit tho, like 6-8 inch groups at 50yds with fmj 147 gr. Bore and crown looked fine and it will clover leaf every few shots but overall groups like ass. anything i can do to improve thr accuracy or is it fucked? i already cleaned throroughly and took some bore cleaner compound through it. didnt help.

>>64009378
>missed Simpson matching K31+Sawback earlier this year
Still fuck. But yeah. I tell myself to stop doing girlmath about spending money to “save” money

Reminder to report any boomer at a gun show table with a stack of Garands to the ATF for unlicensed gun dealing. Fuck flippers.

>>64009612
>working with the Feds
>especially the FAT
>for any reason
Boomers will be dead sooner than them. Recenter.

>>64009266
Fuck, I guess I can't slack on getting a bayonet and G11 anymore.
>>64009179
>one was heavily sporterized
Other than maybe broken furniture, what drives people to do this? I get that bolt actions used to flow like water but sporterizing a G41 of either variety doesn't sound practical, cheap, or effective in any way.

>>64009755
>what drives people to do this?
Hubris

>>64000764
Very nice anon. I just got a Mauser C96 today at auction for $1000. I'm very content.

What was this cunt doing? Trying to meet a minimum?

What was this cunt doing? Trying to meet a minimum?

>>64009211
>Nah it was a complete intact looking weapon. It was indeed 5 figures.
That's about right. I remember seeing an intact but mismatched 41M back in 2023 that sold for around $13k. Only 15,000 or so 41Ms were made throughout 1941-1942 and quite a few went east where they got lost in combat against the Russians.
>>64009755
>Other than maybe broken furniture, what drives people to do this? I get that bolt actions used to flow like water but sporterizing a G41 of either variety doesn't sound practical, cheap, or effective in any way.
I think it's a combination of impulsiveness and ignorance. There was hardly any literature or information out regarding the 41s and their operating mechanism which spans the whole length of the barrel. So as soon as Bubba makes that first cut, he's committed to making it a decent sporter, even if the recuperator and working parts are exposed now. I know G41s are not the lightest rifles but there's not much you can even remove on them.

>>64009612
Hey sonny, you can buy your monthly limit if ya want. otherwise you buy from me. aint gonna get a better deal than this

>>64009266
>IT'S OVER
Good, then you can kill yourself.

>>64009378
To do what; flip? That's Boomer behavior.

>>64009583
How many different varieties of ammunition have you tried with it? Is the barrel/action bedded properly in the stock?

>>64007019
Yup, they're running low on slings as well. Watched the price on them go up $5 from one day to the next.

>>64010803
Damn well that really makes me appreciate the right they did me by last week. Gotta givem credit where it’s due any time I get from now on

>>64009612
>go to gun show
>only tables of glock clone solicitors, alibaba backpacks and shitty hunting shotguns
damn they got away

>>64009612
Like anon showed, they fuddbroker it at “$2000–buy it now”

Finally got a k31 last month. Glad I finally did. I was a little disappointed as the picture showed one with a walnut stock but I sadly got sent a post war one with a beechwood stock.
It was all matching and only $500 so I can't be too upset. So far its a great rifle.

>>64011020
also, any tips on fixing little dings like this? its shellac on beechwood. The stock butt is luckily pretty good compared to some of the completely destroyed examples you typically see on these Swiss rifles but the finish is definitely kinda thin and rough in that area. Would like to fix that if possible

>>64011031
Rub a little raw linseed oil into it and let it dry. Repeat as necessary.

>>64011118
Not him but thanks

taking apart & using ppu factory ammo as reloading components and anneal the brass well would be the final solution.
for testing i bought some newly produced ppu lebel ammo, the cases have now that ring around the primer the older ppu doesnt have, lets see if this brass holds better. im gonna fire some of the old ppu out of my other berthiers to see if the cases split up.

if the new ppu brass does not work well, im gonna shoot the factory ammo out of my berthiers with chambers that dont split the cases, and reload it.
keeping track of brass sized to the guns chamber is a good idea.

thx for the input lads!
(gonna make a baghuette family pic when i find my phone )

>>64009583
try different bullet weights. my 7mm mauser shoots 2-3" groups with bullets in the 140gr area. every other 7mm load like 170gr will result in dinner plate sized groups or worse

>>64011031
>>64011118
>>64011219
or take half a walnut core and rub it over the chip. works for furniture too

>>64011118

>>64011611
>No lebel
Anon, get to it. that said, an RSC 1917 is on my dream list.

>>64011611
for some reason the berthier and mas 36 never interested me

>lost the bid by $2.50
Nuts!

>>64009583
Try some flat based bullets.

>>64014538
did you lose your MAX bid by $2.50?

Anyone got anything Peruvian?

>>64014685
No. I just failed to snipe someone else’s max.

>check purchase history
It’s one thing to be impulsive. But to be forgetful in addition to that is painful twice.

>>64014685
Accidentally losing is better than accidentally winning..

>>64014688
Yes.

>semi-lgs has bfa threaded, intact m38, no good picture of shank

Were gevarlets ever sold for the winter war?

God Bro's I want an MG-42 so badly
I've been trying to find a semi auto one but man they are either 10K or made by a super shitter builder and even then they dont show up often
Praying that I can find one with BRP internals so I can put a FRT into the thing

>>64014820
I’m sad my sudaca crest collecting venture has taking such a hit by the sellers market. Very jealous

>>64006466
You have no penis.

>>64014849
Can’t afford it. Boomers fucked the penis market.

>someone else bought Liberty trees Siamese Mauser
Thank you. It lasted longer than I thought

>>64014854
Does an intact foreskin really add that much more to the price?

>>64014838
very few, doubt any of them left the country.

Someone on Eb** is calling a rusted out sawback’ed 1871 bayonet an O.V.S. 1896 and wants $X,499.99 for it.

>>64014978
Left Sweden at all?

>>64015071
Left the Finns, they liked em and probably kept them.

>>64015079
Hmm. I’ll call the store tomorrow for actual dang pictures of the shank which apparently not obvious to the large majority of dealers selling milsurp. I’d probably consider paying $750 for a SA gevarlet

>>64014943
They’re rare in my country. So full earthworm is pretty valuable

How much is a Type 14 Nambu worth with a decent bore, okayish finish and a cracked/split leaf spring thing on the grip?

>>64014841
mg34 is just as good

>>64015189
I hear MG-42's are easier to manage in terms of taking them apart. If they can both run FRT's after being converted to Semi Auto then I'll get which ever one I can get for cheaper first

>>64015180
probably $600-$700. The cracked spring is a huge turn off for some as thats an annoying hassle to fix for such a stupid part. I would maybe pay $500

>>64015200
Ok cool, thanks. It definitely needs to be replaced because it's a hand shredder now. I'll see if he bites for $500.

>>64013913
the lebels here in middle yurop i've seen so far were all very worn/beaten and very pricy, like 800-1000. havent seen one i would have wanted. exept that ultra short lebel carbine, still hating myself for not getting one when these were offered for cheap (400ish).

picrel is my imperial german family
are those pickelhaube replicas any good?
wifey keeps hacking after me with her longest filet knife when i grope her butt when walking thru the kitchen, i need smth to deflect those semi-saber strikes from my head.

>>64015994
>the lebels here in middle yurop i've seen so far were all very worn/beaten and very pricy, like 800-1000.
Lebels are generally found in such state. They had such long service lives and in the end of their lives they were mainly kept around to shoot VB grenades with.

Love my tok but it needs the rear sight fixed on my type 54.
Anons a couple threads ago suggested using 604 locktite retention red on the sight, it just came in and I am going to try it tonight. Also does anyone know if it is safe for the barrel pin, link, and barrel from 3 different models(polish pin, romanian barrel, Hungarian link) that I mangled together is safe to throw in this?

>>64014838
AFAIK Sweden didn't sell any m/38s to the Finns, it was all m/96 infantry rifles. Sweden even bought back a bunch of the rifles in 1940 when Germany invaded Denmark & Norway.

>>64014688
Yee I got one for a good price last year

>>64016510
Nice. It sure is a striking rifle with the single-stack mag and the Lange sight.

>>64016564
>It sure is a striking rifle
It is, I need more uncommon South American surp. That's my current obsession.

>>64019605

>>64019797
Nah, I got over 10 Berthiers. They're fairly easy to find in not beat to shit condition.

The only Berthiers kept in the 60s would have been for the gendarmerie, and were mainly just used as clubs for riot control by that time.

Need help. I am trying to get the rear ironsight to stay on this type 54, I was suggested loctite 609 in a thread before but it either hasn't cured enough or I need something stronger. Has anyone delt with similar before?

>>64022217
get a new rear sight that fits better

>>64022074
What're reasonable prices for Berthiers, oh man of many frog rifles?

>>64022467
Like $400-$500. More for more WWI correct versions or other weird ones.

Here is my trashed Greek conversion Berthier that I got for $300 last year.

>>64019912
>>64019605
>$11K before fees & theft.
Hmm thats not bad. My upper limit on just about anything is around 12k so assuming I find one at or below that its doable. Id rather not bid on one and rather just let the cash pile grow while I wait to see one in person. Considering I travel to the Vegas show and Tulsa often im bound to eventually grab one.
Finding the right clips though, I would hope the seller would have them. Havent acually checked to see if theres a way to tweak regular Berthier 5rd clips into ones that would work in a 1917

>>64022624
I know people have 3d printed clips that can work, not sure how available the files are for them though.

>>64022884
hmmm. Yea ive seen that you can modify the feeding channel in a 1917 but i would rather fuck with disposable, ubiquitous (enough) Berthier clips than mess with a gun so rare.

Im the Lee Navy anon so fucking around with clips is kind of a thing im used to anyway

>I don't remember my source but I remember reading somewhere a couple thousand carbines were sold to naval and coastal defense units.
Finland had Swedish m/96 rifles and m/94 carbines already in inventory before the Winter War broke out, mostly as a result of arms smuggled in during the Finnish Civil War. Some m/94 carbines (and more m/96 rifles) came to Finland with the Swedish volunteer regiment in 1940 and were left behind.

ye

Finally unbubba'd my arisaka after a very long time of tracking down non-scalped parts

Unfortunately the bolt handle was bent, would un-bending be as simple as torch heating it in a clamp and bending it back, or should I come up with some sort of heat sink to help keep the body of the bolt safe?

>>64026548
Why the fuck would you "unbubba" one of the cheapest and plentiful surp out there? All you're doing is paying someone to part out a much nicer rifle than the one you're "restoring."

You should send the bolt out to one of the guys that already has the jig for it.

>>64026592
>plentiful
I wish Arisakas were even half as plentiful around here as they seem to be in other places. I've seen a grand total of two non-last ditch Type 99's in my state, one of which wasn't for sale. All the last ditch models were in varying states of beat to shit and overpriced on top of that.

>>64026668

Same here. Ironically enough, Type 99s in the $350-500 range and in ok condition are one of few plentiful milsurps in my state.
