So right now I am looking at two different guns. A steyr m95 (not sure if 8mm mauser or not) for like 500, or a project type 99 with mum in need of a stock, safety knob, and stock for two bills....

So right now I am looking at two different guns. A steyr m95 (not sure if 8mm mauser or not) for like 500, or a project type 99 with mum in need of a stock, safety knob, and stock for two bills....
Yah I know that the rifle is common and restoring the bayonet is not even a back burner project more like a 'if I can' sort of thing. And I am ordering the parts for the trigger when I get paid and I...
Hey does anyone know what the bayonet lug is made of? like is it normal steel or hardened?
My buddy just suggested cutting the lug in half and welding it. I'm not sure about the welding part but he might have something there.
So in other words not something that is done very often or easily
So I managed to snag this polish m44 for a song at a local gun show. But once I got it home and started researching how to replace the bayonet I ran into my first problem, I know that I can buy the...
I did read the reviews but I wanted to see if anyone had anything like super negative to say about them that wasn't in the reviews.
So i am looking to build a 1911 and found this on w sarco and i couldn't find any reviews on the internet so i figured id see if i can find anyone who as used one of these things for their 1911 build
Well I'm thinking I'll save my money till I find a nicer looking Mauser. One that doesn't look like as bad.
I'm not looking for a wall hanger I'm looking for a shooter and you think the rifle is worth 175?
So here are the pic of the rifle and like i said the rifle is in rough shape with descent bore.

I've been trying to figure the model out on my own from memory and so far that has only left me more confused. But Like I said I'm going down Friday and I'm going to get some pics to show to a friend...
So I was at my local dive surplus store and there was a Spanish Mauser for 175 in rougher shape (like a 6 out of 10). The bore looked alright to me and what I am looking for is advice on if that's a...
ok guess the both need some BLO
So I took a rag and rubbed them against my mosin and enfield's stocks. The enfield basically turned it black so i'm thinking that the enfield has less patina and more dirt on the stock. while the...
Well low and behold thanks to facebook I know what it is now. A tool from an east german AK cleaning kit
Yah me to I can't find any markings or proof marks on the thing.
So I found a box of military stuff at yard sale for ten bucks and find this thing was in the bottom of the box94022
I think it's a tool for a gun, the front it tapered like it is meant to be used...
thanks for that I'll have to keep looking around. and I didn't know Brownell's had them thanks again for that tip
So while trolling around on ebay I came across these and they are a fair bit cheaper than the ones for US ordnance and clearly there is a reason for that. But I was wondering if someone who as seen...
well my enfield I have a problem cleaning because there it still has it's rack number and i do not want to lose that or the age of the wood on either rifle. I just want to remove the grime and dirt...
So like some people are saying they just need a surface cleaning with dishsoap or BLO? bearing in mind I just want to clean the wood up while keeping it's age.

Ok so now that I have my computer and not my phone here are some pictures of the wood, the flash makes it look a lot brighter than it actually is. the first two are of my mosin...
So I am new to milsurp rifles and am trying to figure out how to tell if my rifles just have a dark finish or if I am looking at cosmoline on or in the wood. I know how to tell if it's on the on...
I'm actually looking locally at a S&k mount. but this may be put on hiatus for a while
