Couldn't help you with value. Even though it is rarer it might not be worth anything more than your average M43 Mauser simply due to lack of desire for it. Best of luck.

In Canada they would likely be 1200$+ rifles, most likely falling into the 1800$-2k+ range. Best of luck with your sales!

Very nice example! Love the history. Would have been Austrian-Hungarian before being either captured or given as war reparations to Italy, then subsequently reissued to the Italians who served in...

You give any rifle poor ammo and it will fail. Look at the M16 in Vietnam where they issued poor quality ammo and the rifles failed, yet fast forward 50 years and they are the standard.

I have ordered Type 99 parts off of here with success. The owner seems to have the parts you need for the type 30.

Very cool rifle! I don't have a ton of knowledge on these but I would lean towards school myself simply because the ones I have seen that made it to Finland (through Russia) all had the mum...

The 8x56r cartridge was also designed to have the same overall length (or pretty close) as the 8x50r cartridge so you could keep the same magazines, clips, and rifles with only having to modify the...

The pointed round is 8x56r which was purposely designed so you couldn't chamber it in the 8x50r rifles to prevent them from blowing up. The Mannlicher 88 action is why they never updated the...

For the 8x50r cartridge they never adopted a pointed bullet. Originally in 1888 it was black powder, then in 1890 they updated to a semi-smokeless powder, hence the change in the rear sights. Most...

I am confused as to what you are asking. A Gewehr 88 is a completely different design than a M98 Mauser, if that is what your asking and no parts are likely going to be interchangable. Certainly no...

I don't have this particular rifle anymore but the stock was likely a Turkish M38 stock blank they just cut to suit these rifles.

I suspect the M38 bayonet would work but it was too long ago for...

Its the way the market is going at the moment. A M1 Garand in Canada 20 years ago was about 200$, 10 years ago was about 1200$... I just bought a Type 2 M1 Garand for 2800$. Up here the prices have...

My M90 (M88/90 that was not a updated M88) Mannlicher is one of my favourite rifles. It gives my Swiss K93 Mannlicher a run for its money on smoothness and explains why the Austro-Hungarians...

About 5 years ago I ate some Canadian rations from 85 and 86 my dad had stored since that time. It was funny because my dad walked out and saw the chocolate bar and ate it remarking he hadn't had one...

Just read on Ernie Slovak, sad state of affairs. Didn't deserve that death. Not wanting to fight isn't a good enough reason to kill someone, especially when they didn't volunteer to be there in the...

A lot of people are surprised when I tell them it is easier to make a full auto firearm then a semi auto. The logic being simple, is it easier to peddle a bike by constantly moving or one peddle then...

Just saw a thread on another forum where a person bought a 'All Matching K98k' that was a post-war Czech made rifle on some WWII parts complete with a fake waffenamt for 2800$. The market at the...

I have ordered off here before, message the dealer maybe he has some hidden away

I don't think the dust covers were tossed by the troops unless you mean the Americans.

They all had dust covers fitted originally, any without it is because at some point someone removed it.

Also for those of you in Canada Corwin Arms has some of the polymer clips for sale for 16$ each

Realistically why make a bayonet with a 'edge' at all since they aren't sharpened to begin with? It was a style that you see in the region I think starting with the M95 bayonets and then followed...

The Swiss did develop a stripper clip for the 7.5x55 Swiss cartridge as part of the 1908 development that lead to the 1911 rifles and carbines. They however never put it into production, likely...

Sounds like your issue is with the blanks as they are fine with standard rounds. Possibly some sort of coating on the case of the blanks?

I have a couple that were made of polymer on the civilian market a few years ago. Works just fine, the only thing is they are a bit thicker than the originals so you have to line them up perfectly...
