Well made little rifle. They are alot smaller than i imagined. LGS has one here.
I would like to try one of Uberti's Dragoon repro's. Maybe one day i will do so.
I have seen and owned a few k98 rifles that I thought were going to be hopeless. However, They have all thus far cleaned up and made decent 100 yard shooters. My secret to success i think has been...
I have heard similar stories of GI's finding P38 pistols in pieces at the BYF factory near the end of the conflict. Some have been discovered here in the US with no proof marks and were rumoured to...
Check them out here. They have not went to live sell yet.....2 more days and they can be purchased.

trust your instincts.
Hard to be sure from a photo. I would have to reason out that if a receiver had a "crack" that large it would be damaged elsewhere as well. I do not think a crack would happen in a straight line as...
I picked up this barreled action recently. I am looking for some wood to place it in and was wondering how close a Argentine 1891 would be. If anyone can advise it would be appreciated. This metal...
i am looking for a stock (sporterized is fine) to use on a barreled action of a M1889 belgian contract rifle marked etat belge Birmingham. Length of the stock is not critical.
Looks to me like the first one you listed will be the best shooter of the three. The others have corrosion in the barrels that might effect accuracy, If I was choosing between those 3 it would be...
What a great gift that will be. I would definitely return that one....I have my doubts if I would even fire that rifle after seeing all that has been done....kinda makes me wonder what all has been...
Looks like someone did.
I have never seen a m1903 that was missing the "model 1903" on top of the front ring. Ive not seen everything to see yet, obviously. I will be interested in what someone much more knowledgeable than...
Looks nice...well done but not overdone. Good job
Yessir...here it is........ Very Rare BNZ 43 Steyr SS Contract Mauser K98 - 8mm - Russian Capture 8x57 - Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com : 897245088
Ive noticed some strange listings lately but this has to be top 5....this seller is asking 3 thousand dollars for a russian capture bnz rifle. This is a fine example of the kind of gouging that goes...
Got the replacement bolt in the mail today. It is just what i thought it was. It has waffen 623 stamped under the handle and on the shroud and safety. Will not close on my no go and does close on my...
Thanks for that information bob. I read that Steyr really started relying heavily on contract assembly in 1942. What..if I may ask... was the best evidence for you in regards to where it was...
Here is top of the ring and a couple of others.
Yessir i agree...it looks like it has spent some time in urgent environments since it was assembled. Some may have been state side from previous owners. It came to me complete except missing two...
Here are a few pictures of some markings on my rifle.....
The wa77 is present on the right side of my receiver and that tells me the receiver is Radom. The barrel code is something that I cannot understand but I do see a Star stamping and wa623 stamps on...
I am hoping someone has a bnz 42 no block, a block or b block rifle that has good markings showing on the buttstock. The specific markings that I am interested in seeing are the ones on the bottom...
I have this Knife. I have done some reading but i want to ask here. Was Conetta a maker that made these knives in the late 1960's only? What do I have here is my question. I had this listed on Ebay...
