I think SG is service grade FG field grade.
I had one made up and I enjoy shooting it. I picked up a 1903 in a C stock (pretty sure repo) for $700. Had Chuck in Denver up on Steve Earl scope mounts and got a repo Malcolm 8x scope. Shoots great...
He changed the description on GunBroker.
What I did was remove the stock and bolt then removed the back part of the safety. Turn the safety until it points down. Take a small screwdriver and push the plunger forward and grab it with needle...
That looks like a picture of a Japanese stock, looks like a nice rifle. I have been looking for a matching Japanese rifle with the mum for a good price for a while now.
The stock in the second picture for sure doesn't have a metal butt plate. I don't see a two piece stock either, seems the photos I've seem of these you can see that there were to pieces glued...
There are two different bayonets. On is an Australian 1907 one that appears to have been redone in 56. The other one is a 1917 Remington that I was mainly asking about the green frog. The grips are...
The last photos are a different rifle than the OP.
It has a cock on closing bolt, can that be the difference? Model 70 cocks when the bolt is opened.
No, I couldn't find any marks.
Thanks for the help.
I picked up this bayonet to go with my 1944 Lithgow. Looks like it has been redone. I was wondering if it looks right? It is kind of sharp, were they normally sharpened? Also can anyone tell me...
Found some 30-40 for sale for what I though was a good price. $29.99 a box or $28.49 ea. for 10 boxes at Able's. It was HSM ammo, I called HSM and they say they use new brass. It was selling for less...
I have a '36 Tula. It could be a SCW Mosin, no import marks or Made in USSR. It has a dark bore with good rifling and it shoots great and has one of the best triggers of any of my milsurps.
OK, Thanks
Thanks, I was leaning that way. The friend that gave them to me was going to hunt with them. He put one in the chamber and it wouldn't extract. The bullet pulled out of the brass. The bullet got...
Sorry, yes they are complete cartridges. I shoot PPU M1 Garand ammo in my milsurps (1903, 1903A3 and Garand). I am just starting to reload my own. I never saw the nny before but found online that...
I think I found some things out. Sounds like it may be PPU ammo. Read that the primer hole might be small and break the decapper. Would anyone be able to give me an idea how old it might be and what...
I was given 140 30.06 bullets awhile ago. 50 look to be reloads in various brass (TW, SL, DM, LC, FC, R-P and REM UMC) with the 180 gn lead tip flat base bullets not seated to the crimp ring, overall...
That door is a lot better than my beware of dog sign.
I agree with post #6, I ordered a handguard from Sarco and it wouldn't fit right, to small.
GunPartsCorps has pictures of some parts on their website.
Thanks, I just wasn't sure if they made the hollow ones before they designed the No.5 rifle.
Did they use bolts with the hollow bolt knob on No.4 rifles when originally made or just the No.5? Just a question so I'll know what I'm looking at when I come across something I might be interested...
Replacing a bolt in a new rifle with another brand that might work better is like wanting a 30-06 and buying a .270 and having the barrel changed.
