Those are 50 round magazines meant for members of the special forces.
Thanks for all the input folks.
Thanks for the input gents.
Beautiful upper!!
Just what the title says. Is it more common or acceptable for a Gew 98 to have a non matching bolt than say a K98k? I'm starting to get into the Gew 98's but need some education. Thanks folks!!
OP....this is just my 2 cents but don't use an Anderson lower for a A1 build. For a A2, A3, A4 or M4 build sure but not for a A1. Maybe it's just me but the reinforced rear end of the receiver really...
It's a bolt gun so shoot what you like!
Just don't get the point in shooting a collector grade unless you like degraging the value of a weapon that is no longer made. Keep chucking rounds down the tube and putting wear and tear on the...
What type of K98 is it (manufacturer code) and is the stock laminated or walnut? Does the stock have matching numbers?
My favorite way of showing my 03/A3's is with the cocking piece all the way back to annoy the anal retentive safety freaks out there. ;)
For the record can we stop calling the black Greek enamel "Greek Park". One would thing based on most of the US martial arms most of us have owned/inspected some could tell the difference between...
Why would Uncle Sam modify a Smith Coronna 03-A3 to A4 when there where a ton (thousands?) of already existing Remington 04's that already went thru post WWII rebuild in reserve? I call fakery...
Last I checked the topic was on .30 cal tracers. There are three 50 BMG tracers all of which are designed differently. For the 50 you have the M10 tracer (100 yards from barrel), M17 Tracer (trace...
These do not burn in the barrel but rather light up about 70 to 100 yards out. The only residue left in the barrel is powder and copper fouling. To the very best of my knowledge, the only military...
Star guaged barrel also? Personally I'd call up Scott Duff and he could give you an educated guess over the phone. It could be anywhere between $2000 and $3500.............possible more.
C'mon guys............it's a nazi capture.;) Seriously though, I saw the same gunbroker auction and it's a post WWII rebuild which is what I have only seen the "SS" markings on and only on OG open...
While I agree that there is no way to prove unissued/unfired condition, there are certain physical factors of the rifle that can give clues which I agree with you. I have a mint Remington M1903-A3...
IMHO, that's not a bad price at all depending how original it is and the condition of said rifle. Lately, these have been going for $3000+ on gunbroker. Here is a link to a great site that helped...
Hi Folks! New member here checking in. I've been collecting milsurps for about eight years now and I'm also an active member of gunboards and AR15.com with the same user name. Hopefully I can add...
