I intend on picking it up soon. I looked up the LSM 281 online and it has some very interesting logistics on the ship and what and where it participated in the Pacific. Thanks to everyone who helped...

I was thinking around $650 for everything is a good price, with the paper and ammo is just an added bonus. Are the Nagoya series 28 rare in production numbers? Serial number is 76xxx, trapezoid rear...

Thanks, he said he would hold it for me until I get all funds. I figure I'd better grab it, I don't know much about the Arisaka, but I've never seen one this nice, plus having a connection to the war.

Title reads, Certificate of private ownership of souvenirs. A brief note to declassify and release of 1 Jap rifle, 1 Jap bayonet, name and rate of owner(sailors name). Officer's signature. It would...

Capture papers, sorry. Letter is from the USS LSM 281, Lt. W.P. Lukems, commanding officer, participated in the Okinawa gunto campaign and occupational duties.

Hi everyone, I have a chance to pick up a series 28 Nagoya rifle. The rifle itself is in excellent condition, over 90%, everything matches, mint bore, cleanly struck mum. Also includes, early bayonet...

Thank you

I have a krag rifle serial no. 336917 which was made in 1901, is it in the database? Thank you.

Thanks, I looked at it again today and noticed it had been lightly sanded because of wood to metal fit. Otherwise, it was 90% cond. but I wasn't going to pay $100-$150 more than I should.

Theirs an all original, matching including brass tipped cleaning rod, excellent condition with scrubbed crest 1891 Argentine mauser selling for $549. I think its a little steep but unsure if I should...

I took a few pictures of the sling but I can't seem to copy them to the post. Does anyone know easier way than using photobucket.

Yes, definitely the first one and those brass keepers and hooks are very impressive, looking at the condition of the rifle and sling it must've been hanging on a wall for quite awhile. I took it to...

Wow, most of theirs were abbreviated. Cool.

Did some research on a site that had a list of all the WWI contractors who made those slings. It says just underneath the 2nd keeper: B.T.& B CO. over the number 7 or 1. and the Rock Island...

I never thought this sling would be this old, it's in excellent shape, should I leave this sling on or get a repro. Do you know what type of leather conditioner to use on it. Browningautorifle...

I finished cleaning up the bore, I think I got most of the copper out so it does have some shimmer to it but there's a bit of pitting here and there, hopefully it patterns on a target at 100 yards....

I also checked the sling on my newly acquired 1901 Krag rifle, it's a 1907 pattern leather one that reads ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL and the year 1915 underneath it. I guess it pays to read old posts!...

I just realized there's a Krag rifle forum, oops. I'll have to buy another flexible cleaning rod and brush. I was cleaning from the muzzle end and just figured out how to take the bolt out, now it...

I was using hoppes #9 for a while and it kept coming out black and I had to quit because the brush end broke. I put a long tipped swab in the muzzle pulled out and found a green residue.

I just picked up a 1901 Krag rifle and the outside is in great shape, not much cleaning needed. When it was time for the bore different story, it looks frosted, minor pitting, and a lot of copper...

I finally got it off by using some CLP and letting it soak for an hour. After taking off the other parts I noticed it has a 2nd contract Marlin barrel installed. The chamber is still in the WHITE. ...

I bought a WW2 vintage Springfield M1 from a reputable dealer at a gun show recently. It has a early Marlin barrel I was told, so I wanted to check on top of the barrel for markings since there's...

I also purchased an 96/11 rifle made in 1897 with all matching numbers, with a nicely aged dark walnut stock. My rifle range only goes to 100 yards and I need to purchase the taller front sight...
