Thank you sir! I definitely learned something today!

Thank you! I always thought there was supposed to be a serial number stamped into the left side of the receiver. Is this something specific to the Maltby rifles? My main concern is to list this rifle...

I recently acquired this No4 Mk2 from an estate sale. It is currently undergoing a deep cleaning and conservation process. It appears to be in really good condition. The serial numbers on the wrist,...

Very nice piece of work. Its amazing what a little bit of work, attention to detail and love will accomplish.

Totally agree. I had to carry the PR-24 version when I was working patrol. I should actually say I carried it in the car, because that's where it always stayed. It was uncomfortable to carry on the...

I've seen some references to the Finn's using pine tar. I have only one Finn rifle, a M39, which needed serious cleaning when I obtained it. I then resealed it with Gunny's wax. The Finns use some...

Based upon those photos, you wont need to refinish them. They look correct.

You did an awesome job on my Standard Products M-1 carbine so I will recommend my friend send this pistol to you. You are a great option for him!

Thank you for this thread. I didn't really know much about the Type 97 and this helped to convince me to do some research on it.

I like to use Faxon BCG's in my builds because I usually use Faxon barrels. If I am replacing a BCG or building a gun without a Faxon barrel, I like to use Aero Precision BCGs. Both companies build...

I agree with Surpmil. This rifle is so simple to take down and reassemble that anyone can do it. Plus, you will have a good time bringing it back to life!

I finished it up. I attached a "before" photo with the CAI finish on it and then two photos of the finished project. I also found a front sight hood and spent 3 hours trying to install it (I...

Thanks everyone. I'll recommend he try to find some wood or Bakelite grips for it and possibly redo the finish to be closer to the original so it at least looks close to original. Since the value...

My friend just acquired this US&S 1911. I had never seen or heard of one until he showed it to me today. He was asking for more information about it and he gave me permission to ask all of you. His...

Based upon the lack of responses, I think you are right. This question may be right up there with "what are the ingredients for urushi?" and "where can I find an all-matching Kar98k for less than...

I have obtained a 1956 VZ 52. It is one of the CAI imports that they refinished with the plastic buttstock, brown stain on the stock and spray-on truck bed liner on the metal portion of the top...

Amazing how those vehicles made it to Australia. A lot of hard work from some very dedicated people. Congrats!

Thanks! Since I had never seen one before, I knew I had to have it so I paid substantially more but it is definitely a cool addition to the collection. I'll look up the safety and start searching...

You know you are in trouble when you walk into your local gun store and the owner asks you "can you please take a look at something for me and tell me what it is?" He presented the rifle to me and it...

I recently acquired an M1 carbine via an auction. It is an Inland with a 340,XXX serial number. It is in a complete Type 3 configuration. It has the round bolt and a FATS stamp on the left side of...

Kind of depends on where you are selling it. Some states pull higher prices than others. Seller will often tell me that they have done their research and see the gun selling at a certain price...

Awesome, thank you!

Maybe wrap the spring shafts with something (tape, plumbers tape, etc.) to make them larger and fit more snugly? That way you keep it original and don't risk splitting the wood while working on those...

One of the best pieces of advice I have learned from this site is checking the fit of the stock to the butt-plate to determine if sanding has occurred. Since I learned that here, I have been able to...

That wasn't just sanded, it was bubba sanded! I thought the one I posted a few months ago was bad, but this one is REALLY bad. SSGross was able to find me a pretty nice replacement at a fair price.
