From my father I got his 1930s Daisy. From his father I got a cough syrup bottle of lead BBs. That was the only thing he would shoot in his pre-war German "bring back" air rifle. (Got that too. ...

I got one of those several years back. Quite the dilemma, take it out of the armory paper and clean out the cosmiline or not. (I decided they are tools made to be used.)

I remember 98s in a fifty five gallon drum at the near by surplus store. $20 each. A year or two after that I took a job for $1 an hour.

I bought a case of strike anywhere Diamond Matches at my local Ace hardware store. (They had a few boxes on the shelf so they ordered the amount I wanted. BTW ~ Small town)

As long as we are remembering.. I bought a pair of Chinese Mausers at a Great Western Show at least twenty years ago. The guy had a table stacked with the most worn out (both in quality and...

Noticed your avatar. I love that song. Makes me laugh every time I hear it! Beware of chickens in choppers!

I believe you are right. It's not too complicated. Back in the 80s, if you wanted to build an AR, you had to buy just about every piece individually. (And I did.) Today you can only find "kits". ...

I am looking for the lock release bolt and nut for for a mil-spec AR collapsible stock. I've cast about and can't find anyone who sells stock parts.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

That's pretty much what I believed. Thanks!

I have got to ask. When I was a new shooter, over half a century ago. the terms Large Ring Mauser and Small Ring Mauser both referred to 98s. A small ring was like my first rifle, a 1916 Erfurt. I...

I worked part time in a gun shop in the early 80s and got to handle one. Don't remember the price but is was "doable". I agree, it just didn't "feel" right.

When I was young, my father had an original Remington .44. I fired it quite a bit without grease. I also experienced chain fire a couple times. Very impressive. I always wondered why it only...

Guns of good friends are second only to family guns. I get a bit misty thinking about a couple of guys gone who left me a couple pieces.

I'm not going to be much help but it looks to me like it's not military. I would looks to pre-WWII "boys rifles". Savage, Marlin, Stevens... dressed to look somewhat military. Take a look at a...

Years ago I worked in a gun shop and took out to the desert a "Commando Carbine" in .45 ACP to shoot. It had seven bulges in the barrel you could see. Bullets still came out the end. Not sure how...

I'm playing with the 3D printer and wanted to chase the threads on a enlarged button. May have to mike it.
Forum: Military Rifles

Thanks Guys!

Family guns are the best and cannot be replaced at any price!

Seventy five years ago my grandfather shot a ramrod through the ceiling in the living room. I never did hear any real details.

I had a reweld back in the 80s that handled anything reasonable. New family, school teacher, if I wanted to shoot I had to cast. Wish i had it back
