clean it. Use it. Enjoy it.
So....................are you going to shoot it?
Never tried photos, will see this afternoon if I can figure it out. Thanks for replying.
I have a 6,5 mm sniper rifle with side receiver mount and original cloth sling (no correct scope) which I believe is a type 97. I don't pretend to be that knowledgeable about these (my collecting...
Does no one have any suggestions?! I'm just looking for some place that's uncomplicated.
I have dies in .308 Norma Mag.;6.5 Swedish Mauser;7.65 Carcano;.45-70,and a bunch of other calibers I'll probably never own rifles in (well, maybe I'd like to have a .45-70 someday). If nothing...
I have 6 boxes of factory .338 Lapua Match Grade HPBT FMJ ammo I want to sell, as well as 10 Boxes of factory .280 Rem hunting ammo, but I hate the new format for sales on this site. Hardly anything...
Very interesting. Thanks very much for the photos.
Thanks. This appears to be a later model.
I have a spare, complete, Winchester Bolt assembly ( # D2828) that I was thinking of listing in the for sale forum, but haven't seen any recent prices. It has wear on all the usual surfaces, but...
Hi guys. Don't come on this site much ('03, Enfield guy ,mostly) but a friend of mine came into possession of an early Colt Automatic that he is considering selling. Not being up on the Colt...
Like both, but ETO for me also, in honor of my dad, "C" 1/387th 97th Inf. Div.
Cool photo, but almost surely posed. Not going to do much good with the sight cover in place. (mine touches the top of my front sight) and the cocky looking guy with the .45 is going to do a lot of...
Barracks rack number by the look of it. Common in U.S. and British army in peace time.
Sounds like your bolt is a Remington.
Thanks to all of you who served and remembering all who fell or were wounded.
Hey, in "fighting Seabees" all the Japs have Krags!
Given the value and scarcity of original 1903 rifles and RELATIVE availability of 1903A3 rifles, I think its forgivable. I found it interesting that one marine was carrying a Rising Gun.
1943 Serial number 53L6858
Matching numbers on bolt,stock, and magazine.
Stock is walnut with grooved hand guard. Butt stock has two overlapping stamps, Circles with arrows one with "U" and the...
It's been some time, but IIRC, the two rifles were not type 99s. 6.5s with smaller bolt handles (shaped like a cylinder rather than the large oval of the 99). Stock did not have the "chirping of...
A few years ago I was given two last ditch Arisakas; Wooden butt plates, loose bolts, rough stocks, the whole bit. Surprisingly, they included dust covers and monopods. Back then, Arisakas were a...
Jim,
Would the New York politician the two officers were descended from be U.S. Senator Thomas C. Platt of New York, (Theodore Roosevelt's old nemesis and the author of the Platt Amendment, which...
Thanks Big Larry and Edlman. Cool sight site! (sorry, couldn't resist!) impressive list of stuff. He even has a 1913 Warner-Swazey. Don 't want to even guess what that's going for.
AHHH, I do know what it is. Somehow you original post sounded to me like some kind of converted bolt rifle (just confused in my old age) My vote is to hold onto it!
