    Years ago I always attended the Pikesville Gunshow in Maryland. I got to know a dealer who specialized in rare German WW2 toys. Just piles on Nazi-Party marked Kar98a's and very early Party marked...

    I have a nice late-war Kreigs Modell stock. I have the barrel bands and they look decent, as well. But I do not have the very small wood screws to secure the bands in place. Not sure what to do or...

    Try to find a new magazine spring. A US Springfield spring may well help, too. Original mag spring from 1916? May well be worn out. Good luck.

    I used my Krag rifle at The Western Games a few years back. Lots of odd stares and curious folks. The rifle ran just fine no hiccups at all. Rapid string was different with the rapid re-load. ...

    They used a solid Ball load and a Buck and Ball loading in .69 cal muskets in the Civil War. You do realize small children loaded almost all of the ammunition used in the Civil War. Child labor was...

    The US Army loaded up a lot of 7.62mm "Duplex" for use in Viet Nam. Two bullets loaded into the 7.62mm case. Both were light weight bullets and the idea was to use them in Mini-guns out of...

    I recall reading the US Army re-barreled several Trapdoors into .30-40 configuration. At lower velocities all ran well. However, as they approached higher velocities the gun began to unlock...

    The US Army used to have .50 cal sniper rifles. So many guys developed detached retinas that the Army got rid of that gun and the whole notion of .50 rifles. Detached retina is not a joke and a...

    98 bolts are on Ebay everyday. Buy a new bolt and do NOT have a gunsmith weld up that old bolt. That old bolt was brittle and broke after falling on the floor. I would not trust my eyes with...

    We are talking about a GEW98 WW1 rifle, aren't we? Perhaps a photo or two of the rifle will work. The South American Gew98's are very different from the German Army issue rifle. A photo should...

    DCM did not re-build anything. They handled paperwork. It is what it is. A nice keeper and in good condition. Lots of '03's ended up in training units, but this rifle doesn't look beat up. ...

    Likely a DCM rebuild post WW2. Remington bolt and 03-A3 stock. Should make a nice shooter, not too much collector interest there, however. Nice, clean M1903 and a keeper.

    I have heard they loaded a used 170gr flat base bullets for NM use. I don't think anyone makes that sort of bullet days but the odd box of those bullets does still turn up.

  25. use in SA

    I had one years back. I was told by someone wiser than me that it for all intents a factory second. That only SA could work on it. Sounds reasonable to me. It was a nice shooter and ran very well.
