    My concern would be the locking area and how the locking wedge is interacting with it. As a starting point I would use prussian blue to verify what is actually engaging/getting contact on the locking...

    It sounds like that gun should be taken out of service. The 1886 design relies on that single locking point in the receiver. That point would have been machined smooth, possibly ground or polished to...

    Those 16" guns also shredded the Iraqis during the Gulf War, exceptionally effective I think would be the best way to describe it.

    You would have loved the one M1 Carbine I almost bought about 8 years ago for 600$. Original 2 position sight, push safety, Carbine in rough condition, very likely completely as issued WWII standard....

    Went on that ship about a decade ago. Absolutely amazing the size and scale of the ship. Coolest part I found was how the guns were painted with the name of little Iraqi towns with shells beside...

    Keep in mind it depends on country as well. In Canada a Garand will generally go in the 2200+$ range well a M1 Carbine will generally go for about $1200-1800. A large part of that being a M1 Carbine...

    Realistically it brings not much benefit for the size difference. With irons there is a bit of a argument due to longer sight radius, but with all the fancy optical sights in existence now it really...

    I actually quite liked the original C7, I have a upper set up along those lines as well (surplus C7/C8 upper receiver with a 20" barrel on it). Both the original C7 and C8 I found quite handy and...

    Hypothetically I bet it would handle the 1/2" shorter rounds fairly well being a rotary magazine. The main spot I would be concerned about issues is since it is a recoil operated rifle messing with...

    A Milsurp is simply a firearm used by a military, it doesn't have to be used in combat or even given much time/service.

    In Canada you would still see them come up in .55 about every second or third for sale. We didn't have any sort of caliber restriction until a couple years ago. Many would have both a .55 barrel and...

    Thats not the case, all the earlier Schmidt Rubin designs used that aluminum ring to basically 'free float' the barrel. It isn't a spacer, it was a design intention. Here is a thread with some of my...

    The Swiss never cut down rifles to make carbines, they purpose built carbines. The only thing which is close to a exemption is when they made the K11's they converted most the 1900 Short Rifles and...

    Or just simply dumped in the ocean, this was done for milsurps and ammo of all sorts because it was cheaper to do that in some cases than to surplus it even.

    Very nice Luger! I love my 1906 Swiss, though it was German made. Impressive guns which I can only imagine how difficult it was to get the mass production right on.

    Most modern MG designs are similar to the MG-42 for the feed system and only require the cocking handle to be pulled back once (as that puts the bolt in the 'open' position which is ready to fire). I...

    It wouldn't be a stomperud because it was made 20 years before those. Basically it was a M94, that was converted as a sporter.
