Maybe it is a 1957 model - my lucky year! Thanks for the info - so it was a model 6 before it was a model 3?

I lost a few old oak trees to Rita. I'm over 200 miles inland - can't imagine what it was like where she came ashore.

I've been thinking about upgrading from my cheap Lee aluminum press for a few years now but I've loaded thousands of vintage military rounds with it with no problems- until today. I cracked the...

The joint was not under the front band and it indexed perfectly first try. He is a retired history professor and self taught gunsmith.

I'm blessed to have a neighbor - now 80 - who spent 50 years turning military surplus rifles into nice sporters. He no longer Sporters intact vintage rifles. During that time he amassed a nice...

If I had not picked up the barreled action on gunboards trader for $100 my restoration would not have made sense. The stock is an Ishy walnut dp that Springfield Sporters sells - along with the...

The Turks converted many gew98 rifles to the m38 standard. They will likely be marked ASFA or Ankara - often dated 1937 in my observation but some even in the 40s.

These started life in the 20s and 30s as m1924 rifles - first 100,000 produced by FN then by the factory they built in Yugoslavia.
Hard use through Ww2 left many in poor condition. The new...

Most of the gew98m tangent sight equipped rifles I have seen have been equipped with the s42k(1934) or s42g(1935) marked sights - leading we to believe most were converted in the mid 30's after the...

The receivers and bolts were usually blued when the tangent sights installed. Unusually that this one is still in the "white".
