UPS had that box in their possession for less than 24 hours and they managed to punch a hole in it and crease it that many times? Yeah, I got the paperwork. It is now safely in my binder with my records and bound book. I'll give the slip to the PD ASAP. I was wondering about the box. That's pretty funny that it didn't take them long to poke a hole in the side. It made me wonder what would have happened if it had to go to the other side of the country. Thankfully the insides were nicely secured in all that paper.  Click here for the full 961x722 image. It survived the trip no problem, and it was too much fun digging through the packaging. The smaller package just required a little  work to get through all the plastic. Click here for the full 691x517 image.  Click here for the full 791x508 image. Again, everything made it fine. You can count me as another satisfied customer.

I want to get a rifle from the CMP, but all the CMP Affiliated Organizations that I've found so far are clubs that charge hundreds of dollars to join. I know there are some really cheap ones out there, but I can't find any. Does anybody have any info or a link that might help?

Also who doesn't like to feel TFR love? Its much more enjoyable than feeling my gay neighbros' love, i can tell you that. I could hear them through the walls at my old place...KY oh god we ran out of KY! Ok don't do this to me...what is in thsoe drat pictures? what did 43 send out? Also is your MAS 49/56 in 7.5 French or .308? If you need parts, PM me...no promises but i might have a line ona few of them, for the 7.5mm version. Finally, looks like i am getting an M16A1 but i need a matching lower receiver...either M16 or M16A1 style, as long as its grey in colour. Just because i am blind doesn't mean i can't have good taste. Anyway, if anyone has a line on one, i would do some trading with you or something for it. the DCI retro lowers seem fine to me. Who else might make them?

That's what made me really upset though since I heard that the original 7.5's are supposed to be excellent, underrated rifles. She's currently at the gunsmith awaiting a new hammer (which I don't understand, but hey, he's the gunsmith, not me), but thank you very much for the offer. If the guy turns out to be inept I'll definitely drop you a line though.

Yeah, that extra part and the bolt were the first things I found. My first thought was, "Oh know, he sent them to me in pieces and I have to scavenge through here to find them all." Thankfully it was just that piece. I was going to try to take some pretty pictures of them later, but since everyone wants to know, here is the first rough snapshot. It's just another Mosin and some old weird looking pistol. Nothing too fancy at all.  Click here for the full 957x717 image.

So far it looks like a beautiful M39 (sort of like the one I got from G43 but have been too lazy to get a camera to photograph) and some kind of Luger. Edit: this photo is from Gewehr 43, he didn't explicitly disallow me from posting it. Also, the finish and bluing are slightly darker than this photo indicates. It really is gorgeous in person. I had visions of invoking the Bubba spirit, but the quality of the delivered merchandise has kind of put the nix on that.

Here's a question for my fellow milsurp faggots; my dad has been watching this auction for a Finn captured Westinghouse: Fox-Arms subcontracted Mosin for a couple of days now. Now, its not in the best condition ever, but it honestly is quite possibly one of if not the only one like it (Westinghouse didn't make all that many to begin with, but Fox Arms was sub-contracted by Westinghouse to make very few), so it makes it all the more unlikely to find another one that was also a Finn capture. I've purchased from this guy before, so he's expensive but I know he's legitimate (as so far as his rifles are what he says they are). What I'd like to know is if this is worth the asking price; it seems like it would be, but there are far more knowledgeable people on here than me.

Mosin + Non M91/30 or later + American contract + Finn captured > $70 M91/30. That's a pretty cool rifle. I wish had it. That has everything I want in my dream Mosin; M91, American made, and Finn captured. I've only seen a few American Mosins and they were sportorized. Even then they were over $200.

spankmeister posted:Crazy. There were a lot of .32 / 7.65mm handguns floating around as well. My K31 came with a troop tag with a different serial number than the bolt/barrel/mag. There's also a name (I think) carved into the stock that doesn't match the name on the tag. Did someone somewhere throw a random tag under the buttplate to make this rifle  better, or is the tag 'right' despite the above discrepancies?If I just got someone else's tag I'll post the s/n; if a goon has the right gun I'll drop it in the mail.

That's an awesome rifle, and he $400 he's asking for it is certainly fair. Oddly enough, it's even more amazing that that gun survived in its current configuration due to the Finn refurb process - most of those in Finn hands would have been torn apart and rebuilt as m24s/m28s/m39s. If I was a big Mosin collector I'd jump ALL over that poo poo. If you're dad's into it that's a good purchase. spankmeister posted:Crazy. The real nightmare wasn't ammo but spare parts. Just think about extractors, a part which needs relatively frequent replacing on semi-auto handguns. If you've got one, or at most two, standardized service arms it's a lot easier to find a replacement extractor than if there are 15 in service. THAT is a logistical nightmare.

Does anyone know if there is any surplus .303 brit that is non magnetic ( )I'm looking at this stuff on SamcoGlobal right now, it's priced great ($100 for 500 rds) .303 British Ball Mixed UK Mfg. FMJ, C/BE 174 Gr. Lead Core. It says lead core so that's a good sign...but does anyone know for sure? Since it is priced so great (and it is surplus ammo after all) I'm guessing it is magnetic, but I don't know how to find out. They aren't answering my emails fast enough.

Cyrano4747 posted:Yeah, I'd say that tag doesn't go to that gun. Well, that sucks. I'll pull the tag out later today and post the number. It's a Classic Arms gun so if the tag came from one in the same batch there's decent odds a goon got it. I don't really care about numbers matching; I just had this romantic notion of contacting some old Swiss dude's family and letting them know his rifle is in good hands. Kinda  about the tag but very much  with the rifle.

That sucks man. Like you said, at least you have a great gun. I have a Classicarms troop-tag hand select K31 I ordered back in January sitting in my closest at home still boxed (I'm across the country at school right now) waiting for me to get back home. I'm hoping the troop tag and serials match myself.

$600 Dragunov? something is funky there..PSL for sure but, as i am teh russian guy around here, taht should be mine if it were actually made in Russia. Are K-31s now marketed with or without troop tags? I bought mine years and years ago and it did come with a tag, but back then it was just a thing..the buttplate hadn't been off that rifle in decades it looked like. No one had checked i am 99% sure. Of course then those things were $89 to a C&R. Unfortionately, i showed my dad that and now everytime i talks to another person about old bolt actions, he tells them to remove the buttplate and there should be a tag in it...i am talking about he is going on about Enfields and Nagants, sigh, i can't ever convince him that was basically a Swiss thing. Going back to what guns the Germans used...how about the M1 Carbine they adopted as what? the 445A or some poo poo?

As far as requesting C&R paperwork, is there some kind of widespread delay going on? I've requested copies 4 different times in the last 7 months or so and have not received a single bit of correspondence. Also, does anyone have any tips for cleaning up old slightly rusted ammo cans? I am planning on wire brushing them and just generally cleaning them up and then spraypainting them with some Rustoleum. Just curious if anyone had experience taking them apart to get everything painted, it kind of looks like it wouldn't be worth the effort.
