Hello Everyone,
I am working on obtaining the 3 book Treatise series on Martini's by Skennerton, so far, no company in Canada has them. Does anyone happen to own them and wish to sell? Where can I...

Very nice. I have a 1906 Norwegian Krag sporter in nearly as nice condition. It is serial 316. And ideas when it was made that year?

Hello,

I have a sporterised Swede 1894/14 that has it's wood cut down and the stock disk scrubbed. I have managed through months of effort to locate and am in the final stages of importing an...

Hello,

I have a Lee Enfield Rama IVth Smiling Tiger BSA Contract 1920 rifle. Serial number is 1091 on the rifle, but bolt is mismatched. I know it is a long shot, but any chance someone has this...

Hello All!

I have been invited here by Smellie over on the CGN forums. I have a love of milsurp firearms and own 16 now, despite my grand old age of 23. I love the history, the service and...

Hello All,

I am trying to get my hands on a stock, bands and nosecap to resore my Swedish M-94 Carbine. The wood was bubba'd a long time ago. I am really shocked someone would cut down a carbine...

Hello All,

I have a Mannlicher Stutzen in the original 8X50R Mannlicher caliber. I have 197 grain .323 bullets, and cases but I cannot find ANY modern smokeless powder loading data for that, or...

Hello All,

I could not find the right forum for this, so I hope you Mauser folks can help me!

I am looking for some answers as to what these marks are all about?

Cheers,

Sure, will do. I'll see about doing that at my school when I can get access to some machinery. Being a university student I don't often have the money or tools to do this sort of stuff. I will try...

Well, Pat. I will see about it. Worst comes, I can take it to my gunsmith and have him round it and test it. Who thought it'd be so sensitive!

Could you possibly post a picture of how rounded it should look? What tool should I use for this? What does a pierced primer look like?

If I might, I have a question here. The pin on my martini-enfield seems to be punching the primer dangerously deep. On the left one in my Lee-Enfield and the one on the right, my Martini. Reasons...

Now a question, why does the nose have to be rounded?

Patrick. Thanks for the info... how much can I expect to pay for those tools? I am a poor University student on a rather tight budget. I suppose this old metal file I found in a barn won't do eh?
...

Not to jack my own thread, LOL. But good news! I worked with my shop teacher, and we cut off the tip, and used a drill bit to make a new pin. It looks fine. The only problem is I need to file it down...

Interesting notion. I'll keep it in mind. Let us hope my part will work, it should arrive by tomorrow or day after and I should be able to give a range report come Friday. Let us hope the Martini...

Well, it hopefully will work without a hitch when I install it into my bolt, God willing and the creek don't rise. :)

Hello Englishman, good to see you on the other side of the CGN hill *grins*

I spoke to the gent I bought the rifle from and he has offered to send me a Martini-Enfield striker from a parts...

Good news. I am in contact with the fellow who sold me the rifle. He has agreed to send me a new striker from a parts Martini-Enfield of his here in Canada in a day or two for free, with appologies...

Now, question, if I took a hacksaw, cut the striker tip flat at the base, used a crap drill bit and drilled into the spot where the striker had been, get the bit "stuck" in the metal and just cut the...

Now, what would happen if I had them "turn down" (wow neat terms, I suppose that means remove diameter/thickness?) the new striker, and just installed it into my bolt, will I necessarily NEED to have...

Allright. Once the part from IMA comes in, I will take it to my gunsmith and get it installed, and the block fitted for firing pin. Hopefully it will not cost me over 200 dollars.

I'm going to be...

I live in Canada, he lives in IA, I do not think I can ship a gun part accross the border.

When you say "have him fit" I do not understand what that means... I would just take him the striker, and...

I will need all the instructions please, that I can just take to my gunsmith and hand it over. If you could DoubleD, it is CherniakKoeck@hotmail.com for e-mail, if you could write up the instructions...

Thank you anyways for the note Patrick. I'm not insulted. After all, this rifle only cost me just under a grand. Lovely to see it can't shoot. Really. Lovely. *Sigh* DoubleD I really hope you can...
