Thanks very much all! This was super helpful!
Here are a few photos of the tang.
I have a Japanese sword from WWII and I would love to know more about it. It is in fairly rough shape. I always understood it was a guys family family sword, but that may be myth.
I have an rsm 2014 marked MkII Scope and rsm mount, on non RMS pads, it shoots Very well and holds zero. I understand the rsm pads are too thin.
The scope is less ‘bright’ than my originals but...
I’m an intrigued. I have seen a number of makings on savages both normal everyday rifles and those converted to T or T less scope, I have haven’t noticed a marking of this type in this location...
Oh well I guess our respective safe valuations just appreciate!
I can believe a good shot could hold a 12’’ group out to 900 yrd, as I can make hits at that distance with my made up L42, and I wouldn’t class myself as a good shot. For me any thing past 900 gets...
Hi all,
I am keen to acquire an L17A1 scope with designation and MSN engraved.
I am UK based but would consider purchasing from overseas.
Yes, I tend is experiment a little with original rnds but normally as you say they are a trifle past there best.
I appreciate they where factory built as sniper rifles. I am interested in in the steps taken by the factory armours steps to accurize them (over and above the use of low tolerance parts, I.e. the...
I have a travel kettle that works of the car lighter socket. Just throw some boing water down it at the range then more at home, happy days.
I haven’t seen them pop up in the UK too much sadly. I will have to look harderz additionally my licence only allows of 250rnds of 7.62x54r for now so that might limit by options.
The ability to shoot them….
Thanks for the reference, I will check it out. I was specifically after info on non explosive/incendiary rounds.
Hi all,
Is there a good source for sniper ball ammo specification during WWII. I can find a few references to heavy and light ammo, as well as a fair amount on exploding and incendiary. I am keen...
Thanks it is a useful threat but not quite the “this was the soviet armorers doctrine for sniper builds during WWII” I am looking for, maybe it doesn’t exist.
Thanks, not sure how I did not find that!
Hi all,
I am after a direct transaction to English of a primary source detailing what procedures where followed to acuratise a 91/30 during WWII. I have no idea of such a primary source exists. I...
I’ve just put an order in for a couple so my L13A1 and it’s commercial 6x42 friend can have homes of there own at last.
Very pleased to say, it’s mine. The cope while in need of an internal clean isn’t bad. And upon first shooting it puts holes in cardboard in a sub 2 MOA group off hand.
Would any one know someone...
Cheers for the information, sorry for being very slow in responding. I mislayed my phone which in turn held the password.
I had no idea re the sharing practice, and just assumed it as a full...
I have a probably extremely stupid question.
I took delivery of my first ever Mauser rifle today, it is infact the first ever one I have even handled.
An initial surprise was to unscrew and...
Should it have a foresight protector? The block doesn’t seem to have a groove for one.
I presume that bracket is a reproduction, I presume some repros are better than others, is there a good way of identifying one from tother?
Cheers for the book recommendations I will see what I can acquire.
I was assuming RC given the elector pencil. Given the bolt.is miss matched what sort of accuracy expectations would be...
