Hello all,

I recently received a Star Model B from my Grandfather. The piece is German proofed with a Waffenampt WaAD20, has no import mark, serial number range is 253xxx indicating June 6th, 1944...

If it is in good shape that is a great price. The VAR barrels are known for accuracy provided it doesn't have pitting or is shot out. HRA rifles are some of my favorites.

I have shot thousands of rounds of HXP and it is good ammo. The brass is also very good and consistent for the most part. It is very heavy and lasts a long time. Some lots are more accurate than...

As others have mentioned, the CMP is the way to go. Depending on where you are located, you can even go to one of the stores. The North Store is at Camp Perry in NW Ohio and the South Store is in...

At this point, I have fired 1200 rounds of Greek with out a problem. The head stamps have been 70, 71, and 62. The best accuracy has come from the 62. Great ammo and not a single problem. I have...

Springfield didn't use HRA parts in their rifles. Your rifle could possibly be 'new.' My Uncle owns an H & R that gaged at 1 muzzle and 2 throat. The chamber is in the white and the barrel (LMR),...

Hello everyone. I have a question about an M1900 Bulgarian Luger. It is chambered in the original 7.65 Parabellum. All the numbers match, it has a 1922 flap holster and an extra magazine. As soon as...

I just got off the phone with my grandfather. He confirmed what I remembered. The rifle has a rising sun on the left hand side of the stock. I am very new to Arisaka rifles. What does the rising sun...

He did save everything. I am going up to visit in a week or two for a visit. I will see if he will let me take a few picts.

Those of you getting into a debate about the ethics of fox hunting-did you check out the picture in the first post? It is funny. It made me laugh almost as much as this pic. Google Image Result for...

Hello all,
My grandfather has a type 99 Arisaka. It is complete with an unground unmarked "Mum". It has one problem-he sporterized it.

Grandpa told me he bought the rifle in the early 60s. He...

Hello again,
I should have mentioned this is a K. Kale 1944, not the earlier cut receiver mausers. One of the reasons I was asking is just because the barrel is shot out. I have an over abundence of...

I'm a new member. My interest was sparked when my grandfather showed me his DWM Bulgarian Luger when I was 12. Later, I bought an m91 Mosin. Then a Turkish Mauser, and a Russian SKS. Recently, I...

Hello,
I have an 8mm Turkish Mauser I bought about 5 years ago. It was sort of an impulse buy. I was at a sporting goods store and the rifle was $70. Now I am older and wiser. I have never fired the...

I wanted to add to a previous post about drill rifles. Some of the drill rifles have had the gas lock welded to the gas tube. Gas plugs have also been knocked out. You will know what I am talking...

I love both platforms, but for different reasons. I love the Garand because it is "pretty" to me. My rifle has a walnut stock, a 43 reciever and many correct parts. It is also neat owning something...

I am giving up on my cerimonial garand. It still shoots right and I think the weld warped the receiver. It seems to be a crap shoot with the cerimonial rifles. Some on this post seem to have great...

Here is the link. They are demanding an inventory of weapons that may have been in their inventory one hundred years ago.

Government Demands Inventory of All VFW Weapons

I came back from the range. The rifle still shoots about 6 inches at 50 yards. I did find before taking it out that the stock was in contact with the barrel. I couldn't even slip a dollar bill...

When I load an M1, I push the enbloc in with my thumb pointed up. I have had the bolt release, but it just slides off the back of my thumb. If you point your thumb down, it gives the bolt something...

Barrel indexing was the first thing he checked. Originally, we thought the barrel was bad due to blanks. When he put the wrench on the barrel, the barrel spun right off. He then relized the barrel...

I have a cerimonial rifle and have been messing around with it for a month now. I filed the weld off of the barrel and receiver, cut the gas lock off and replaced it. I took it to a gun smith who was...
