Maybe you could use the information reference the fake cartouches to negotiate a lower price and then replace the faked stock with a correct one?
Thanks for the information from everyone! Definitely learned some new things and I will share the information with the owner.
This stock was on the rifle for more than 20 years s I am not sure.
Inside of the stock doesn't look too bad but no markings. 4" barrel channel. No markings in the sling well. Only the one hole visible in the end of the buttstock. Looks like maybe an M2 selector...
I was cleaning out my gun room and came across this stock and handguard. A friend of mine had an Inland M1 that he brought to me for refurbishment. He got the rifle from his grandfather (no military...
I actually enjoy shooting them. They are a piece of history and display the differences in military philosophy between the various nations. Collecting them is fun because there are enough variants...
You actually made me get out of my chair and recheck mine to see if I had yours, so thank you for giving me a reason to take it out of the safe. Unfortunately, mine is 831,xxx but I will keep an eye...
If you start speaking with an English accent and you are not from England or one of its commonwealths, you have probably reached saturation point.....
Very nice rifle! It appears to be in original shape. It is a pre-war rifle and has the correct pre-war stock (copper or bronze end pieces on the upper handguard and the screwed in sling escutcheons)....
Nailed it.....
Very well said sir, I completely agree with you. Each piece has its story to tell, and since I shoot everything in my small collection, I maintenance them as needed. If a project gun comes to me as...
I agree with Aragorn. The bolt handle knob doesn't appear correct and the wood looks a little too perfect. I guess it depends on the price they are asking.
Well, Santa didn't bring me a gun this Christmas but he did deliver an original numbers matching bayonet, scabbard and frog for my son-in-law's M48. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!!
I posted a similar question a few months ago reference a 1930 M91/30 I was trying to restore to original condition. The metal was excellent but someone had stained the stock black and then spray...
Sounds like you have narrowed it down to the loader. You can actually add a set of Cross Armory Quick Pins. They are kind of pricey but they make magazine reloads pretty simple with their maglock...
I would just try some Hoppes cleaning solvent to hydrate it and soften it up overnight. Depending on what the stock was originally finished with, you could also try raw linseed oil.
The AR is not designed to "ride the bolt home." It needs that direct force to properly seat it in the chamber. I live in California and went with the AR maglock on my clone rifles and the the Cross...
That turned out beautiful. Since a "bubba" project can never be returned to "original" all-matching condition, I find that they are excellent candidates for building a fully restored and beautiful...
Assuming I am reading the serial number correctly (6,64×,×××), the 4-rivet handguard is correct. Looks like a great gun. It has a terrific patina! Your wife did an excellent job!
You may want to wipe the stock down with some Hoppes and remove a few layers of grime and then rehydrate the wood with raw linseed oil. Any markings on the stock will then stand out more clearly. ...
I bet you could get people to pay to go with you for that. I know I would!
Liberty Tree carries a full selection of mauser slings but they are currently not accepting orders while they get caught up on their back orders.
When you found her in that pawn shop, you just had to say "welcome back old friend." At least the replacement bolt is the correct one with the proper cocking piece for that rifle. She is a real beauty
It's pretty cool that the trigger can be altered like that. Personally, I've had more than 20 people shoot my Garand. They first complain about the weight of the rifle. After firing their first clip...
