Spasibo will do.

Same here. The small "r" after the date is often seen on earlier Mosin Nagant barrels, and is short for "year" in Russian.

The stocks for the 28/30's are supposed to be thicker at the wrist and fore end, but the Finns worked with what they had. At least the barrel channel will correct for the thicker profile barrel. The...

Looks like Apex has m-28 stocks for about $200.00.

Definitely not 5.45.

Going down this road myself. With corrective lenses, it's one or the other. Of course, left eye is the better of the two. Nice looking job!

-Same here.

Looks like a product of two different artists, Noodles, and Kindling. One for each side of the shield.

Cleaned up pretty well.

Thanks for the heads up. I don't have a lot of that, but I'll be sure to check it.

Looks like an Indian A1 long bayonet for the FAL. IMA had one listed at one point. Had a steel scabbard though.

The mostly obscured guy behind him certainly has a grenade launcher on his weapon.

The Finns didn't produce bolts or receivers themselves, they just used what they got from Russian or Soviet rifles. So long as it head spaces correctly, and is otherwise good as far far as condition,...

Good call. I started in a while back. Had a mold for .44 Special/ Mag for quite some time before, but sat on it for years. Finally picked up a Lyman 314299 mold, a pot, some welding gloves, and a...

IIRC, NEW made more of these rifles than Remington did.

They do look like carbines. Early mag cut-off, Lange vizier type rear sight, shorter barrel and no bayonet lug.

Slung up gas trap, M1905, empty cartridge belt pockets, helmet strap buckled,... stateside training?

Looks efficient.

There are special places for these people.

Opening day of the Colorado state legislative session they introduced a splendid bill that will no doubt halt Venezuelan Gangs from taking over apartment buildings. It's a real daisy.

I just have the one. It slugged out at .320, so I use the .32 Special bullets as well, with easy loads.

Interesting, thanks. Good to get some accurate detailed info on these rifles. Obviously, the myths abound.

Ah, so my take is indeed correct then. It's not due to the cartridge at all, just the feeding method.

I believe that particular conjecture was due to the notching of the receiver on the 88/05's. I understand that was because of the change to stripper clip feeding moving the round forward, rather than...

Thanks for the rational behind it there.
