Thank you. Any idea the velocities of these 178 grain projectiles!
I have some PRVI 175 FMJs I could use. I also have a 175 gr bullet mold I plan on trying at some point. Will do initial testing...
Does anyone know what particular loading of 8 mm ammo the ZF4 scope for the G 43/K 43 rifles was calibrated for? Was it 198 grain bullet at a particular velocity or was it something different? I’d...
Anybody try using the new overbore scope mount for the K 31? How do they work for you? I have one but have yet to put it on my rifle
It’s clear to me that I will not be able to afford one of these rifles anytime soon, to get one in reasonably good shape. So you guys enjoy your Arasaka rifles. Thanks for all the historical info....
Found a 99 at auction. Not sure it’s an early version with chrome bore.
Any input on value?
WWII Japanese Kokura Arsenal Type 99 7.7x58mm caliber bolt action Arisaka rifle. Series 20. Intact...
Thanks again for the info. A quick search shows some pretty high prices. At least more than I can spend at this time. I’ll keep looking around.
Enjoy your vacation! As far as iron sights, go versus scoped, I tend to try and get a good example of the military configuration of a rifle, hopefully one that still shoots well for its age. Once I...
Just getting into Jap rifles and wanted to start with an example of their best workmanship. Thanks.
I sourced some in Germany. Thanks.
Which one is better? What does it really matter? This is for use on a G 43
I have a Lebel and it’s a work in progress. But it still shoots. Need a front sight though.
Thank you. That helps.
Why isn’t there a forum for French milsurps?
Need a correct front sight to dovetail into my Lebels front sight base. Currently have aftermarket sight shimmed in place. It works but looks unattractive.
My pastor was there. He promised God to serve him if he got him through it alive. He is a man of his word. He is one of the reasons I joined the Marine Corps.
I have three. An original that I converted to center fire. I reload using level brass. Shoots great except for hitting two feet high at 100.
I also have one that is a Bubba conversion to a carbine...
I’ve loaded up some ammo for my “Buffalo Bill Cody” Model 71 Mauser hunting rifle and dang if it don’t shoot nice. This rifle was supposedly sporterized by the Freund Brothers for Mr. Cody to hunt...
Need an extractor for my 1871 single shot.
My Mauser Morel 71 extractor bit the dust. Anyone have a spare?
Apparently .348 Winchester brass has a rim diameter just slightly bigger than will easily fit into the Mauser chamber.
Not able to post pictures in the forum. When I go to post a new thread I am able to enter a topic and a message. That’s it. There is no option to add photos anywhere. Anybody know what’s wrong?
I appreciate the replies. Being is I haven’t seen any wax ring ammo in years other than the two bricks that I still have, I’ll probably hang onto them, as was mentioned… For curiosity sake.
I just won 200 rounds at auction. Most is ‘83 but some are dated 1992. I was hoping someone has experience shooting this date ammo and care provide feedback as to performance/comparison with the...
What are the going prices for Ross rifles in NRA good condition at auction? I see a no. III that looks decent with slightly pitted bore.
I am in need of barrel band Springs for my Label rifle. I’ve been told the Bertheir Springs should fit. Can someone verify this for me? Thank you
