You mean there's a rifle you don't own?

Check the extractor. A lot of times the problem you are having is do to a mis-formed or otherwise ruff extractor face. There are also many Youtube vids showing this issue.

I have an offer for an M48A that I talked the guy down to 320.00 shipped but I really don't want a rifle with stamped parts if I can get one with all milled and Wideners has all milled for 269.99. I also have an opportunity to get an M24/47 with a bent bolt handle.

I will be buying the 24/47 from Samco and the M48 from Windeners depending on which one I get.

Maybe I should have mentioned these are internet purchases so I don't have the option to inspect one before I buy. There are none to be had locally where I live.

Hi folks, on Friday I will be purchasing my first Mauser. The only issue I'm having is deciding on wether to get a 24/47 or an M48. The price is right on either and condition is very good to excelant on either. Right now I'm thinking I am leaning towards the 24/47 simply because of the potential for...

Yeah I got there at 7:30am just for that reason.

It would have been better if I would have had a rest.

About 1-1.5 MOA without a rest.

Lack of flash for some rounds is normal for any firearm. At least that's what I've always noticed.

Went to the range today with fellow forum member paul6892. Fired my VZ58 and my AR15. Had a ball. Paul's behind the camera.

I also recently acquired a 1944 VKT M39 from Pat Burns. http://russian-mosin-nagant-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19707 Like yours mine also had the tape on the stock which I was able to remove with GooGone. Mine also has no date on the receiver tang but I don't believe mine was scrubbed. Check ...

According to the owner of Wolf whats being said about Russia halting ammo is NOT true. Even if it does happen, they import ammo from various other countries besides Russia. So even if it happens supplies won't be affected as much as people think. That on the other hand is going to be the problem.......

Nice rifle. Picked up my first M39 last week myself. I have only seen one pic of a Sako cocking knob so Sako made parts do appear to be very rare.

I used Hoppe's 9 as well on my M39. Cut through the cosmoline like nobodies business. I use Old English Lemon Oil on my stocks.

http://mosinwiki.com/index.php?title=Misc._Mosin_Marks Ive been able to determine the arrow on the cocking knob is Sestroretsk, the mag is Chatellerault, the trigger is Tula, the bolt handle is early Ishevsk, and the marking on the tang may be the left side of the early Ishevsk arrow. However this ...

Awesome! So now I know there is at least one Chatellerault part on this rifle. Thank you.
