I think that the picture above shows the AK with the stock folded up on it. The stock folds down and forward under the barrel. But you may be correct in that the muzzle break is definitely...

Saddam Hussein used to own that gold plated one. But some of the big time drug lords had similar guns too. Saddam also used to own a gold plated sniper rifle too.

I think that browningautorifle has a point. The extractor would more easily slip over the beveled rim on the cartridge when single hand feeding a round into the rifle. So that may really be the...

It is quite likely that the Russians used the 8mm Lebel cartridge (8x54R) as a reference for their 7.62x54R round. Thus they lightly beveled the head of the cartridge in the same manner. The...

Thanks for the information. That really bums me that they were telling us that there is a coiled steel wire inside the grenades when there isn't. Another myth killed.

I also read that the bumps or pineapple shape along with the serrations was supposed to aid in fragmentation. But the grenades didn't follow the plan though. The modern USA grenade has a long coil of...

I have a couple of the old 8x60mm Kropaschek cartridges. They are something one doesn't see much anymore too.

I think that when the BATF agents did their incompetent and heavy handed raid on the poor guy with the dummy grenades that it caused a fallout with the NRA at the time. Before then the NRA and BATF...

They used to make bullet swaging and lubricating dies in the 7.35mm (.395 to .300) sizes. But not today. There may be some that pop up on Ebay now and then though. One could hone out a .285 size die...

Oops sorry, this is a Soviet weapons category, but the other countries have some pretty good drill teams too.

I having been in the USMC and I am still in awe at the USMC Silent Drill Team doing their displays. They use M1's for it of course. I was stationed at Quantico for a while and loved going to Wash DC...

Maybe a wood stock to make it look less evil. Maybe get it painted tan color (desert sand?) to better blend with the stock. Do they make a single shot conversion for it?
Otherwise it is time to move...

Yes you can put a scope on it. I would discuss it with your gunsmith. They usually drill and tap the receiver for a Weaver base and mount it on. You then put the scope on that. But the gunsmith may...

I noticed that when Pres Obama passed in review that the parade guard were all holding SKS rifles. I found that interesting. Nothing wrong with the guns as I own one too. But It was something of a...

I would just get a sporter stock for it and finish it up as a sporting rifle. Nothing wrong with it as a sporter. The action on the Arisaka is very strong and it would work well as a .308 hunting...

I qualified as a Sharpshooter using a M14 in boot camp. Later somehow I got cheated out of being a Expert at the alternate rifle range near San Mateo, I shot a 247 using a M16 but some mix up had me...

My mistake, my memory was bad. Camp Mathews was actually located in San Diego in LaJolla. They closed it around 1964 when they moved everything to Camp Pendleton instead. it is now all developed...

I have several Carcanos, but the one I like is the little carbine 6.5mm. I had to put a scope on it as the iron sights were calibrated for something like a 300 meter zero. I remember when I first...

Thanks for the information. I do say that on my example, if they ground off the MUM symbol, then they did a really nice job of it as it looks like it was made from the start that way. I can be glad...

Way back before WWII the Marines qualified with the 1903 rifles. They fired from different positions at the 300 to 600 yard ranges. Sitting, kneeling, standing and prone. They had rapid fire from...

Wow! You are correct. It is a Type 30 training rifle designed to fire blanks only.
Thanks for bringing that up. I had totally missed it earlier as I just wasn't looking for a training rifle. I...

Thanks for the information. Yes I need to redo the pictures and get more details in the pics.

Thanks for that information. I had not thought about a Type 30 when I was researching it. Not having a Mum on it confused me to some extent. So as I understand it, without the Mum means it was a...

I was hoping that someone might know more about this rifle I have.
I assume it is of 6.5mm caliber, but I haven't done a chamber casting to be sure yet.
What is odd is there is no Mum symbol on the...

If I remember right the old TV Series Combat had the LT in charge of the platoon was using a .30 Carbine a lot. When I was a kid I always wanted to be the BAR operator in the squad though. Of course...
