Very Nice Indeed! Also very early in the run! I have records of 22000 series being the earliest I have recorded and that is out of Doug Bowsers book. The earliest I have personally is in the 25000 series. Assuming my old eyes are seeing right you are in 11000 series! I am hoping that tang has a dat...

Summer is even busier as you get older! Be forewarned! I just can't keep up with stuff anymore! Thank God for younger Friends who pull me through all the crap I need to get done!. Finished up a gun last night and shot it in the drive for function test but there's 4 more sitting out there waiting an...

For a refurb that is a nice one!

Racer, forgot to mention to you the other day when we picked that out, but Kevin wrote a article on these way back in the 80's. Your gun may be mentioned in there, I know the one I have is... http://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/banzai-article.pdf I recommend everyone to read t...

Laugh all you want on that barrel, but I know where there is a chinese mauser barrel that really is bent like that!!

A nice rifle and for sure a great shooter. Regrettably the stock has been heavily refurbished, probably it isn't the original stock at all. From the pictures it looks to be like beech wood to me, while a rifle of this manufacturing date should have a walnut stock. Here an English translation of the...

It sure is a looker ain't it?? Glad it's going to a good home

I will have to keep my eyes open next time I go parts and bolt diving again.

Still odd to see numbers on bolt head too?? At least I have never seen it.

Not sure what he'll do when i find a job again :bonk: Probably refill his fridge :chuckles: No that will not happen you see I have it figured out I can eat much cheaper with fresher food if I eat nothing at home. About a year ago I took two large trash bags and totally emptied my Fridge and have do...

Racer, Joe, buy him a camera for his birthday, he has one this year sometime, then teach him how to use it, don't leave until he has mastered this very simple device. Eat a lot while you are there and drink all his beer, that will add incentive to learn quickly before the grocery bill runs him into...

Damn Bill you should write a book :lol: Yeah there's a lot of mysteries here with this one, I hope we can find out something, but who knows like most of the stuff we have sorted from Kevin's we end up scratching our heads more after we do find out something about it. i'll get pics next trip, if race...

Joe got some pictures of these two on the porch yesterday now if he ever gets caught up posting pictures and cleaning rifles he will get to posting them I hope. Been a busy guy searching and getting stuff ready here and taking pictures for me. Thanks Joe! Bill Patience grasshopper :wink: http://i67...

Take a break, buy a new digital camera and shoot some pics. It's 2016, cameras are very easy to use now, even the Old Man here who is 90 a few days ago can use one. Cameras aren't expensive anymore either. These from the collection of your friend Kevin who passed? Good haul both of you, M39's are n...

No wonder you and zeebill butt heads JYD, you seem to hate the same stuff, everything!

Anyone here have access to this?? I need a civil war carbine that I am considering buying, serial number run.

Thanks!

Two round burst? Not bad. It is easy to understand why a full auto SVT-40 be of limited use. At the cyclic rate that the bolt moves,and the recoil of a full-power rifle round, a ten round magazine could be gone before you could get your finger off the trigger. I hope this was a random event and tha...

GOT MINE TODAY!!!

Alex tracked mine for me, took 4 days to get to NY, spent a week bouncing around Brooklyn, now it went to NH. Why it needed to go to NH to get to WV I don't know, but it left NH yesterday, so maybe it will head south. USPS at its finest
