Huh. Thanks. Never seen finish reaming with a t-handle. Or maybe I forgot? Had it in my head the barrel was to be pulled and finished in a lathe but the pull through reamer was a work around....

Huh. Thanks. Never seen finish reaming with a t-handle. Or maybe I forgot? Had it in my head the barrel was to be pulled and finished in a lathe but the pull through reamer was a work around....
There is a reamer you can get called a pull through finish reamer get that has a rod attached that runs through the end of the barrel I've seen used. Seemed like a relatively simple job. They're not...
I bought a case of Mesko 9mm Makarov a couple months back for $350-ish for 1000. Think Aim Surplus and Atlantic had it but maybe it was cheaper from Aim? It's kinda high but then again anything but...
I've seen some of those mint rifles, they are beautiful. I'm in my 20s so I missed the best rifles being imported. Happy there's still some decent surplus guns waiting in storage 80 years later,...
I bought this from Centerfire as one with a non-matching bolt. They have all matching rifles but I've got too many irons in the fire right now to drop that kind of cash. The bolt matches itself but...
Really coming along. I've got an original rear upper handguard if you want it. Hope you get a line on someone who can duplicate the barrels. I found a guy who is very good but he quoted a minimum of...
Hahahaha. Thanks for letting us know. I will be doing none of that. To think not all that long ago the old farmers had sheds full of dynamite and nobody batted an eye.
I'm not a lawyer but it...
Incredible. Maybe if Ukraine regains control we'll get some imported as parts kits. I really want an ak-74 but kits are too rich for my blood. Would be great if they'd part with some of those and...
I hate wanton destruction.
McGowen will make you a barrel however you want and you can probably find a cut off bolt handle and get it tig welded on. Probably get McGowen to put the barrel on. Had a local smith do mine and he...
It seems like a sporterized military rifle to me. Don't think it's a factory sporter but I'm open to hear from those more knowledgeable. There are what look to be proof marks on the barrel just ahead...
Hello,
Just got around to going to the FFL and finishing transfer. Thought some of you folks may enjoy seeing this. Decided to post it here as it's been sporterized. Purists avert your eyes.
It...
Thanks fellers. I've put a few rounds through it and it shot well in spite of the factory trigger. Been sick so I haven't been able to do any more but I'm on the mend now, thankfully.
Finally got one. I'm sure it's been fired but not much. There's barely any marks on the shell deflector or BCG. Looks like it might have had a trigger put in it but the Colt trigger was put back in...
You mean you don't want the Knights Templar, Spartan or skull shaped magwell?
Was going to suggest Nodak Spud but doesn't look like they're around anymore. Brownells retro lowers would work but...
Luck was with me yesterday and the usual searches turned up a new result, as sometime happens. Ran across a site for a surplus store in Spain. They had CETME C magazine pouches from the '80s and I...
At least I know what it looks like. I also noticed that Spanish militaria isn't of much interest to collectors but I think that's a shame. Not much knowledge out there and I'm sure the language...
I'm having a CETME C built and I was wondering what web gear did the Spanish use during it's tenure? Haven't been able to pull up anything. Don't expect I'll be able to find any for sale but it would...
I would advise against ATI or Thermold. My brother got a "deal" on some Thermold 20rd magazines once. They ended up in the trash. I think on his ATI magazine the follower would hang up. Lancer,...
Thanks,
I looked at a wet tumbler with the stainless pins but didn't want to spend the money. Looks like once I can swing it, I'll have to get one. I currently have a vibratory tumbler with fresh...
Hi,
I fired my first blackpowder cartridge handloads yesterday and began cleaning immediately. I rinsed my cases, decapped them, then soaked them in hot water with some dawn dish soap. I then dried...
Very impressive work.
Looks similar to this. Maybe Parris-Dunn training rifle. https://www.ima-usa.com/products/original-u-s-wwii-parris-dunn-corp-1903-mark-i-usn-training-rifle-1?variant=5885048389670
I've found a bolt and should have it in a couple weeks. I just thought this would be a fun project and everything mostly fell into place. I'd be happy to trade it with the .410 barrel and a junk...
I would like to buy a sporterized 1910 that it wouldn't be a loss to build a target rifle from but the ones I have seen on gunbroker are decent and I don't modify original rifles even though what I...
