You're right, mine aren't that bad......close but not quite. The putting is deep in some spots so I'm not sure how comfortable I would be shooting them. I made it through the first page of the thread...
I've been able to get rid of all the rust thankfully, appreciate the suggestions.
I recently acquired two rather beat up Chinese rifles, a Type 53 and a Type 56. The stocks need refinishing and the receivers & barrels are badly pitted. Which brings me to my question, what can I...
I was thinking of doing something similar but with small cloth flags. The Allied rifles pointing right and the Axis pointing left, with small flags underneath. Your idea is much more impressive....
I think that is the best advice I've ever heard in my life. I never would have thought of that. I'm in the same situation as the OP. You get +100 thumbs up. :super:
A few months back I had the good fortune to meet a gentleman name Bill who served in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam as an officer in the Navy. After dinner one evening I showed him my firearm collection...
First off let me apologize for all the confusion that I caused with my novice description of single action and double action :o live and learn. The Webley did indeed fire correctly in double action....
After building a jig to hold the trigger and hammer in the correct orientation, I noticed that the point of contact where the trigger holds the hammer ( after cocking it manually ) seems to have been...
Which it seems to be. I'll leave the SA/DA discussion for another time and just say that with the hammer down and pulling the trigger all the way through till the hammer rises and then falls, the...
I recently purchased a 1942 (based on the serial #) .38 Webley Mk. 4. The next weekend I had a chance to fire it at a local range and its doing something rather odd. When fired in single action the...
That is the $64,000 question. There is no die that will reload it back to "factory", and most of what I have found about reloading for the M1895 Nagant refers to the 32-20 case and the Lee dies for...
I recently purchased an M1895 Nagant Revolver and a box of prvi partizan ammo (50 rounds for $25...OUCH!!). After spending a couple hours last night watching The Nagant Man's YouTube videos about...
I also have a question about reloading ammo for the M1895 Nagant. Rather then modifying the rim of 32-20 cases, could you cut the cases of once fired 7.62X38 Nagant ammo (I have a box of new prvi...
I was at a show here on the space coast yesterday and the 30 rnd mags for AR's & AK's are also insanely priced. $10 metal AR mags going for $30, Magpuls that were $15 to $20 are now $60. The AK mags...
I was able to get all the Carcano parts I needed for my M38 at Numrich. They sell the middle band with screw and ring for the sling.
Absolutely! Wouldn't have it any other way.
This is my homemade gun cabinet and I put in slide out drawers for the bayonets. I have one for each of the rifles I own that will accept a bayonet. The M5 on the far left is a stand in till I can...
Just got back from Santa's workshop ( a.k.a. my garage ) and here is the result. I took some play-do and filled the opening with it while the bayonet was on the bayonet lug. After it dried and...
I've spent hours and hours over the last week or so searching the web for parts, pictures, or diagrams of the M38 folding bayonet. I've tried every different word combination I can think of and all I...
OK. I guess it’s time to implement plan "B". I'm going build one from scratch. If there is anyone who owns a Carcano folding bayonet and would be willing to remove the latch button and associated...
About a week or two ago, while looking for a bayonet for my M38 short, I ran across a web site that had the latch release button for a Carcano folding bayonet. Unfortunately I did not save the link...
And now it begins........
The fore-end was cut here...

the bridge cut and removed.....I laid a 7" long tennon in the groove...
I recently added a Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.1 ( manufactured at Fazakerly in 1942 ) to the collection. I spotted a 1953 MAS-36 at the Orlando Gun Show but they wanted almost $500 for it which was more...
And I thought this was going to be difficult.;) The steps have been copied, printed, and placed in my Carcano notebook; this is the kind of info I was looking for. Thank you!:thup:
