Neat, neat rifle too. I don't understand more not having a chat about it.
I had sections of netting I tried to wash that smell out of and it took several washing in hot water and soap with softener to get it out for use. Yes, unmistakable.
Yes, it looks like an STG 58 or knock off. Retro that is. They were a nice rifle. Some had walnut butt and some black. It's not quite a G1 because the rear sight is different to what I would...
And more is better. I try to have as many as I can afford to be able to search through them all. Otherwise for sure you get the one book that has a mistake where you need info. The "Gas trap" is a...
WAAAAY up north toward Arnhem. Wonder where he got that one?
Good to see you Steve...
Don't know what happened there...it sure is though.
That doesn't really do it...can't see much there.
Hard to say, they used them in 30/40, 30-03, .30 cal, 6mm Navy Lee. All of them would have been in the system at once too.
What you should probably do is polish the chamber to reduce the nick. Not hard to do, yes it'll be safe still. I doubt you made a deep gouge?
Many times just driving a live round in as if...
Agreed, the very best way. Then let the chips fall...

Why not offer a WTB or WTT in the forum provided, more frequent it with that sort of thing in mind.
Here's the "X" on the other end of the number.
Nice well used combat veteran. Just about the way I like them, if they aren't brand new then this is what I want.
And it stopped as practice. I wouldn't oil ammo, all our books spoke against oily ammo. Commercial ammo works fine in MGs too, trust me. Ammo with lacquer can have issues in some guns though, as...
Replacement Krag front sight blades are available too, if you wanted to get one so you don't mess up the one you have. That is if you need taller to start with and have to take it down a bit to...
You've had 670 looks at this, so they're interested alright. Post #2 told you how to proceed, I should think if you look at them on gunbroker or some such auction site you'll find a price. Then...
Not at all, if you wish to sell perhaps a WTS ad in the correct forum and they shall come. You've had 330 people come by to look already. This would be a desirable rifle. You may also have PMs to...
Nicely centered, which is to me the most important. Now you'll have no trouble coming to zero at 200.
That would sound about right to me too.
I checked the serial number and there was no hit in my book. Nice lookin' rifle too.
