Rido,
The answer is NO.. they are not clearly marked as such (with Crests). Generally they are not modified in an 1888/ 05 or 1888/15 type of configuration. If you pull off the shroud, then you will...

Ah, a rifle of endless debate.... and collecting variations.

I have a number of these rifles also S marked, and was told to NEVER fire milsurp ammo in them. The S was the culmination of improved...

Gents,
What you all say is true. Price hikes like that for "wind fall profit" hurt the little guy. But it also established the "supply and demand" curve. If someone is willing to pay $$, then it...

I was a big fan of Saving Private Ryan.. and BOB. By far BOB was better. So I had high regards going in... that Pacific was going to be awesome.

But I was disappointed... but I have to agree with...

LOL! Thanks guys... keep inspring me to get one!
My brother picked up a Ruger version of the 1911 and LOVES it. He said he can't get it to jam up either!
But I do like your Rock Island.... thanks...

Regardless if it is a Military Model or an Export variant, that is a nice looking rifle!
I remember the Chinese SKS coming in by the crate before 1994.
IIRC, they came with a sling, cleaning...

Hogie,
I am NOT a Gunsmith or Lawyer... and don't play one on TV. If you are concerned about anything, have a gunsmith check headspace.
Otherwise, happy shooting!!
I have found my Type 38's to...

Sir,
Thanks for posting your nifty rifle. School rifles are a sub collecting theme among Japanese Collectors. The stock lettering adds an interesting take on your rifle.
I warn you though... it is...

drweiler,
While you build your L1A1 on that Imbel, are you doing to grab that Argy/ Cai receiver? If indeed it is an Argy, it would be the foundation for a great build! But looks great as your first...

Salt,
Dang, that is a nice stock blank! Although I have looked at blanks on and off, I haven't seen anything like that one! Nice find!!

That Roller is in great shape! The barrel is real nice that...

Looking forward to a range report.... and restoration of this rifle!!!

Bill,
I have built a few Romi's from kits. It isn't hard if you have the tools. The problem is if you only build 1. It is a big cost...
ARS will do it right, and you will have a good rifle. Up...

RCS,
That is truly Epic!
And that is basically what I am interested in doing for perhaps one of the eli whitneys. I know that in the US thousands (former pistols) were converted from BP to...

I think I found a cylinder but it is $$$ especially for BP.... And well towards the cost of a chromoly steel cowboy action cylinder.
A hammer could be burned out of plate, or convert a typical...

Gents,
I am posting these photos for Anzac. Let him know what you think! :thup:

Thanks guys!
@ WhitneySwede... that is the exact part that I need. Somehow I searched DGW and didn't find that part!
Here is a completed photo sans the cross pin...

Not to slander reputations, but I don't think that Ye Olde Hunters (Lodge) has/ had a solid reputation.

They still do exist in some form, since the advertise via SGN.

I would say that this...

Peter,
Now that was a funny tale! I am glad you shared it with us!! :)

Anzac,
Send me the photos And will upload for you. Always willing to help a fellow collector. PM me.

Stevo,
I would be lying to you if I told you a manufacturer on the plastic lower. I believe it had a US flag on the magwell. This leads me to assume it was an ATI or New Frontier, but I didn't...

Gents,
I just went to a Gunshow on Saturday.
I saw a lot of black rifles on the shelves, and they were not moving. Many had $1500 crossed off... and $1400 crossed off... etc.
There was plenty of...

Gents,
I did get my parts from DGW, and many will fit, from my above post.

However, I just got done rolling through another gunshow. Low and behold as I was heading for the door, I noticed...

AF,
At the gunshows I have visited... there have been plenty of Black Rifles (AK's and AR's). They were not marching off the shelf by any means. Prices IIRC were north of $1100.00 for your typical...

A local Dunhams Discount sports has 223/ 5.56 on the shelf. Wolf... $9.99 per 20. Last week they didn't have ANY.

I also heard that the local Cabela's has .223/ 5.56ammo, but a limit on the...

I for one can go for more pics of girls and guns! ;)
LOL! You can keep the fish!
