Re: Swiss K31 arrived yesterday!!

Jbob, SOG has the Bayonets for around 50.00. Get your C&R into them so you can see what they have to offer. Poly, Yes !! looks like a paragraph of laser stenciling on top of the receiver. It's just not right :-(. Titanium: I'll let you know how it shoots in a few days. I only have 20 rounds of n...

Re: Swiss K31 arrived yesterday!!

I bought the rifle from SOG and it came with the sling. I did pay $50 extra for the bayonet and a brass muzzle cap. I'm going to order a Swiss cleaning kit just so I have it. I want to have an original cleaning kit for all my milsurp rifles. So far I do have one for each of them. I also need a leath...

Re: Swiss K31 arrived yesterday!!

Yep it's there. I photo copied it and then put it back. It's been safe there for many years, I expect it will be safe there for many more :)

Re: M24/47 Or M48?

I own both rifles. I got my M24/47 from Samco and my M48 from SOG. I don't see how you can go wrong with either or both

Re: New to me Type 99 (pic heavy)

You found yourself a pretty nice Type 99 looks like a Toyo Kogyo though hard to tell from the pic, can't tell what series. How about a close up of the arsenal mark and kana? The bayonet, pretty cool you have one that's listed as unknown company under Kokura supervision . Nice finds :thumbsup: its a...

Re: Arisaka Type 99 31st series

Nice find!! I just got my first Type 99. 31st series Toyo Kogyo missing dust cover, monopod, rear sight wings, and cleaning rod. I'm doing as much research as I can to learn more about these rifles. I know next to nothing about them. Dolk, do you know any good web sites for info on these rifles? So ...

Re: Finn Rifle

Thank you guys. I'll pass that along to my friend. I'm sure after I get all the metal oiled up and wood cleaned with lemon oil, it will end up back in his safe never to see day light until I offer to take care of it again. He really does not take care of any of his guns. I offered to do this for him...

Hi Folks, I'm helping a buddy of mine out with this firearms collection. Basically I am just cleaning his rifles since he hasn't touched them in over 20 years. Well he has a Finn Mosin that I would like a little help with if you all could. I'm not sure what model it is, just know it's a Finn. It's b...

Re: How many guns is sufficent? and how many calibers?

Matt, Where in NY are you located. The shop owners I have chatted with on this subject won't allow transfers. You have to buy it directly from them. I am looking for someone who will do it. I have no issue being charged a reasonable fee for handling and such, but I will not be gouged. ' Scott

Re: Yugo Failure to Cycle Properly

Just a quick note. Did you make sure the gas valve is in semi auto position and not in grenade position? I know it sounds like a no brainer but I have seen it twice at my local range. Semi is the button to the right holding the grenade sight down, straight up is grenade position and the gun will not...
