Here at work we do services on military rifles (M4A1s) and MGs (M249s and M240s) week in and week out. We only use the "Field" gage.

When I am at home, I use both the Go and No-Go gages. If it...

Yes, I know there is no Type 99 carbine, that's why I said what I said.

Al

I'll say that if it is a Type 99 "Carbine", it would probably be worth a kings ransom. If it is, in fact, a standard short rifle, then the answers you have gotten so far would apply. Pictures are...

It looks like a duffle bag cut. It should be repairable. And, the repair could be hidden behind the rear band. Too bad you don't have the missing piece and bands, springs, etc. It also looks like...

May I download these pictures for my private library? If I do post them elsewhere I would be happy to give credit to you for them. With your permission, of course.

Al

I thought that someone have answered this by now. I will say yes.

Al

Pretty sure they are not the same and a Type 38 bolt will not fit in a Type 99 receiver. I am at work or, I would get some specimens out and try it for you. However, I am 99.99% sure it won't work.

The only time I ever needed or, would have liked to have had a NEW butt, was when I was leaving the Sergeant Major's office.:(

Al

Nope, the wooden bullet ones just like the ones above.

Al

Well, I don't know about those Israeli wooden bullets but, the ones I have ( I shot some) were so corrosive you could almost see my FAL rust right before your eyes. I shot about 5 rounds, set my FAL...

It's about time.:dancingbanana:

Al

We only ship the BP/Curry Thunderbolts to England. The good stuff we keep for ourselves.:D

Al

Pretty sure that the only number the BATFE is interested in is the serial number.

Al

Did they happen to have yellow tips? That can looks something like a can of Hungarian ammo I have.

Al

Heck, those bayonet mounts alone are going for around the same price as that whole gun. What a deal.
I was looking for a Model 870 bayonet mount that is why I know about the price of that particular...

Not trying to derail the thread but, years ago they made smooth bore versions of .22 rifles specifically to shoot the .22 shot shells. No, they do not work very well in the rifled barrels but, in the...

Here is a closed listing on Ebay for one just like the ones we had. M3 Sling
The seller names it a "Type 5" M1 carbine sling. It was the only slings in our Arms Room that would fit on the M3A1s that...

When I carried an M3A1 grease gun in the Army, we were issued a thin nylon web sling with 2 "H" buckles and metal (blackened brass) tips. I don't have any idea what the nomenclature was for that...

I understand. I thought that you were going to have to travel to get it. (Is there even 500kms in NZ?)

Al

It would have to a have great price to travel 500km for that one. Of, course not knowing where you are at doesn't help since we don't know what kind of availability you have where you are at. It has...

Since it doesn't appear to have markings I believe that is an M48BO. Go here and scroll down to M48BO: M48 Mauser

It is odd that it has the finger grooves in the forearm.

Al

Where are you in Northern California imarangemaster ? I lived in Red Bluff from 67'- 76'.

Al

I just bit the bullet on one and I am glad that I did. Bear Creek Arsenal had these uppers on sale for $279 and Palmetto had these lowers on sale for $129. $410 complete rifle. I couldn't pass it up....

The Mints website says that they will be producing 5 ounce 3 inch diameter .999 Silver versions of the quarters. That would be nice in an M1 display for sure.

I don't believe you anyone is allowed to reply to WTBs. You must PM. I think I read it in the rules.
