I would like to know for certain if it is original or repro,

Guys, I purchased this off e-Bay. It was listed as an original Mills 35...

Ed,

Thanks for all the excellent info!

Sirs,

I recently purchased a 1943 Long Branch No.4 MK1* serial no. 33L8897. The rifle seems to be in excellent condition with a bright, sharp 2 groove barrel. The bolt is mis-matched and has a...

WWII GI bore cleaner is the only thing I've used for corrosive primers. Works great and I've never had a problem.

I just bought a case of 72 6oz. cans. Several lifetimes supply.

I have a P14 Winnie that need a new barrel so count me in for a P14.

I have swapped bolts on several rifles. All have passed with the "No-Go" gauge. I may just be lucky though.

Back when the Blue Sky Garands first hit the market I ordered 12 for various friends. IIRC they were from S.O.G. Since I was doing this as a favor and was making no profit it was agreed that I would...

I know you're probably looking for a commercial rifle to purchase off the shelf.

This is what I built for my son when he was 10.

It was a Brazilian 1908 Mauser. The only thing I retained was...

Thanks for everyone's thoughts on my question.

Does the type 38 use standard rifling or is it Metford? What is the difference?

I had a friend who was going to turn a barrel down to the carbines...

I have a Kokura Type 38 carbine #129xx with no series symbol in front of the serial number.

It is in decent condition. I purchased it from one of the large importers several years back as a parts...

My father was in the 4th Pioneer Battalion, 4th Marine Division on Iwo. One of his duties was sealing caves that contained Japanese soldiers. These were caves that were either too risky to attack or...

I think the Japanese military went way beyond duty with the atrocities they committed.

Has anyone read "The Rape of Nanking"? This book should be required reading in high school history classes.

Carl,

I have reformed many 1909 Blanks into 6.5x55 and 7.65x43mm and have had no problems whatsoever.

In fact, my all time best group with my stock Arg. 1909, 7/8" 5 shot/100 yds, was fired...

duggaboy,

The 30 carbine case should not be crimped. This cartridge headspaces on its case mouth. Crimping can cause excessive headspace.

You will have sufficent bullet tension unless your...

Thanks mbarrad,

Great instructions. Gives a neat appearance. Not as functional or user friendly as the 1907.

+1 on John's question: How does one use it for the loop?

Does anyone have an illustration on the proper installation of the Krag sling?

Thanks

I was wondering about mine. They're all Froster and marked 30/06, 270 and 25/06.

Go = 1.940"
No Go = 2.055"
Field = 2.0577"

Why such a spread between the Go and No Go? Different datum...

I'll be at the South Store at 8am tomorrow.

I just fired some reformed 30/06 this past Sunday. All functioned fine and accuracy was good. There was a slight case bulging just in front of the case head. I'm sure there was a considerable...

Hell he was even a German captain in "The Sea Chase". He got around!

Can anyone point me to a site where I can determine the manufacture dates of 1891 and 1909 Argentine Mausers?

Thanks

Thanks for all the info and references on the seller.

My girlfriend just bought it for me.

Hi folks,

I have a Type 99 that I want to reload for. Is it ok to form 7.7 from 30/06 cases? I made up 20 test loads and fired them yesterday. Accuracy was good. I did notice a little case...

I'd like some advice fron the experts. I am considering bidding on this rifle and would like opinions from the experts as to its originality and correctness. Also a reasonable price range. I am...
