Range update - It shoots. But it won't hit a silhouette target at 50 yds - at least not reliably. And if and when it does - the bullet is starting to keyhole. Not good at all. Was shooting 156...

great news on the barrel. The kroil method I used might even save the last 1/8". Good luck

For rust - Kroil. I took some real rust scale out of a barrel. Stuffed it with Kroil soaked patches for about 10 days (longer than originally intended...) and then ran a bronze brush soaked w/...

Never had to resort to them, but I have also been advised over the years that the heaviest, albeit longest bullets for caliber will do better in a worn out milsurp bbl. And yes, that is typically...

Update

Stuffed the muzzle w/ Kroil soaked patches - for about 10 days! Didn't intend for it to be that long, but... Removed them. Soaked a bronze brush in Kroil and spun it with a drill. ...

Dif rifle, similar potential problem... VZ24 7mm Brazilian. Lands very worn. Last 1- 1 1/2" of muzzle ends up looking almost like it has been counter-bored. But before that - there was serious...

Check on Prvi. Have had good luck shooting it. No animals to date tho.

You happen to be a guru with rust in a bore? Picked up a JC Light Brazilian 7mm Mauser. Last 1-2" of the bore are a sewer pipe. Currently have it soaking in Kroil. Hope to be able to...

Real quick synopsis. VZ24 was contracted to China (iirc) and they couldn't pay for them. Specs had them slightly shorter and lighter (smaller barrel contour and 7mm) than regular VZ24.

When...

I will give this a try. But thinking the rust is way past fixing... Who knows, might get lucky.

Picked up rifle recently. CZ24 7MM Brazilian. Has the requisite pitting of outside metal, and slightly beat up stock. Barrel looks like it has some pretty good wear on the lands. But hopefully...

Steve - What I thought/expected. It will most likely be burnt! Prob keep some cases... thanx

Was just given 40 rds of Turkish headstamp 8mm ammo dated 1948.

I do not normally collect ammo for collections sake. But the 1948 date is something you don't see every day - or I don't think... ...

OK - don't think I have ever been accused of that! AND dang near spit my drink all over my pc when I read it! My point was, I figured it would be a bear to find one, at least relatively...

I would bet that you would have better luck building your own... From what I recall, you will need to find the right terminal end receptacles. That may be the hardest part... good luck.

have one that is Bulgarian M95. arsenal rework that is easily 98% after arsenal rework. my 15 yo loves this rifle. Shot some of the 1938 ammo, but keeping it as collector stuff.

Bought 100 rds...

I saw what I believe to be the last Doolittle bomber fly over for his birthday. This was WAY back in ~1992/1993. LONG time ago!

wow! Another bit of unknown mil history for me. Learn something every day. A tip of the glass to your uncle, and all those who lost their lives in the massacre. The Japanese military were real...

Son and I would like to shoot this. I have a bunch of milsurps, so prob a bunch of targets...

Is this "shoot, take pix of rifle and target, post" or is this a postal match? Assuming it is the...

I have always wondered why private/dealer buyers didn't camp outside one of these damn gun buy back farces and save some collectible guns! Good for the buyers!!!

I have been seeing 1903 Springfield rear sight parts on Ebay at ok prices.

OK, have an M1 and know the req for specific M1 ammo specs (factory and reload) to keep pressure down and not bend an op rod...

Have a 1903 on the way. High number SA (w/ nickel steel). I am...

WOW! I would like to meet that gunsmith!!! He is good! I would think, in today's $$$ it would cost more than the starting bid just for the labor to do this!

Don't know them very well at all. May have this wrong, but if this is what the local shop has, they are now $899! But I could be WAY off on the model!

I don't want to over-simplify things, but... I have a bunch of milsurps in the safe, and have had numerous others pass thru my hands. Never had a really bad shooter. None of mine have been sewer...
