Hi, I have not been on this Forum for a long time. The weather has me staying in today and thought I would try to remember my pass words and play on this old Desk Top. I am only doing two Gun Show...
CMP IS SELLING MAGS FOR $15.00 each. Pot luck, IP, S'G' and 1 National Postal Meter that is marked IN are the top money bringers. All three of these have been found in stock sent out when ordered....
If you look at Riceone's WWII at the top of the forum, it shows all the T-99 and T38s. Look before you you go. Remember what is shown, and you should be able to ID any rifle or carbine made in Japan....
If you are wanting a type 99 to add to a WWII colection, I would say the price is less than one that would be correct. One like the one you show. in correct, all matching, no aftermarket parts go for...
By mixmaster, do you mean it has a Underwood barrel ? If so, that's most likly right. Standard Product didn't make their own barrels. As for the price, That less than I would have to pay for one,...
I think I've asked this before, but here goes. Were the trainers also called type 38, or did they have their own nomenclature? The receivers have no number stamping on them. Not even a mum. Also,...
Not only did I miss a zero, but I'm still missing a IN mag, Got one ???? Later, Bob.
I thank you Brian. Somehow your posting the pics. are clearer than the ones I shot. The last photo of the right rear of the receiver has a P stamped in it the same size as the P that S.G. used to...
I don't know how true my info. might be, but I've been told by several collecters that the contract that each maker made with the War Department was 20 mags per. weapon. 12,200,000 plus. I wish there...
Brian, Thanks for the input. I've gone back and reread and looked at the info. you were able to share. I will try to take some pics. and post them for the forum. I might fill out a data sheet and...
Mine does not have S G stamped on the left side. ser#3262278. I'll stand by my S.G. being one of the 132 sent by Inland. Bob.
Painter, on page 438 is a break down of receivers sent to S.G. Apr. 13 43, 74 receivers sent showing each step in the operation, Again, 58 sent ( 1 after each operation ). There was also 1 scrap...
Painter, S.G. receivers with narrow tangs were sent by Inland when S.G. was setting up their production dyes. I found the transfer in WAR BABY. It was to help S.G. get a fast start on production. ...
Question for Arisaka 99 please. I have in my collection a trainer that looks like a type 38,the stock is so well matched in collor and fitted that it looks like one piece of wood, smooth bore, no se....
I believe it to be a very late Last Ditch welded T 99. Your photo shows the MUM, but no stamping of the type, ( T 99 ). The one I have in my collection is as yours. Mine does not have a chrome lined...
I agree with wtmr on the M1 stamp. Looks more like a bobba atempt to change the number. If the ser. no. is in the 7,000,000 range, that would most have been a 2.
I will disagree, all the photo's in all my books show the stamping the same as in sleeplessnashadow's photo. The photo isn't as crisp as it could be, but that's same as the one in Riesch's book with...
I love the way Winchester stamps their M 2's. I've seen some stamped M 12 and 1 in Houston stamped M21. Nice Carbine. Thanks for the Photo.
What's the first number in the ser.no. TIA. Bob.
Brian, You bet, I would be most happy to have you walk into my Gun Room. There are more Rifles than guns to be sure. As for thinking you were planning to do a Collector Book, maybe I heard only what...
Brian, I was talking to my brother John about our collections and he said something about you were coming out with a book on the Carbines. Could you shed a little light on when we might be able to...
It looks like your Grand-Father was like SGT. York, by that I mean, he cut the short leaf of the sight into a V. It's reported SGT York liked the V sight of a 03 over the 1917. All in All, it's a...
Brian, I didn't see it when I made out the data sheet, but yes, it's stamped I BR. The R is weak ( looks more like a P ) but it's there. Thanks, Bob.
Just received a 6,970,XXX Inland from CMP that has a type II barrel with a P stamped in front of the bayoned lug that has no makers name or date stamped behind the front sight. The barrel has a...
I came into the possession of a Marine Raiders knife over the week-end and wanted to find out what it might be worth. It's a reproduction or commerative type 2,V44, or whats known as a gung ho...
