Pushing it all under the table and out of view does not count.

I knew it. I have a reloading bench from hell and I took a picture. I knew it. I don't want to brag, but I knew taking that picture would get you back. Now the question is: are you gonna scold me or thank me? [emoji14] http://i547.photobucket.com/albums/hh444/bunkysdad/My%20handguns/reloading/20150...

You mean that my classic M-39 that is all chrome with candy apple red finish was not used in the Russian Memorial Day parade in 1955 ?? It is not a specially commissioned rifle by Stalin himself ???

Oh well, $1200.00 down the drain.

John

Welcome to the madness that is surplus rifle collecting. His loss is your gain. Sometimes people can't be bothered taking the time to figure out the smallest problems, I know I have a few rifles that came to me because of almost exactly the same reason. I have an old model 62 Stevens 22lr semi that...

With the chatter marks did they (the machinist) use a machine rule or a pair of calipers to determine the width of the part.

John

Well my search goes on for low recoil rounds for my Mosin. Local range wants only non magnetic loads. I have not had the money to afford reloading equipment. Entropy has given me recipes for different loads (much thanks). But still nothing. How would I go about contacting ammunition manufacturers ( ...

Boy, and here I thought I was going to see Argentine cars .....

Where is the build date? Anything else to aware of? Bore, headspace? overall condition?

John

Here in the San Fernando Valley each Big 5 got two Mausers. They have not been moving.

What are their pros & cons? What is a killer deal?

Now playing at local Big 5 Sporting Goods ..... Zastava M48 Yugo 8mm Mauser Rifles on sale today for only 269.99 regularily 299.99.
These rifles are in "good" condition.

No Mosins in sight. Want to buy something. Got the itch. Is this a good buy, o.k. buy or a so-so buy?

John

I'm jealous. Was the competition shooter using a Mosin?

John

Love the subtle product placement in the last photo.

What ? I have to develop an easy opening, handy dandy, U.S.A. compliant, eco friendly, non polluting, non green house gas emitting, non fracking alternative to the present opening tool that is now available from eastern block nations for FREE !!!!????. Is this capitalism or communism ? John :spam2:

And when the duct tape looses it's adhesive ability. What? more duct tape? Plastic tops !!! (see my new thread).

Thanks, John

Nice find/purchase. Would it be possible to have a picture of the bore?

John

After one takes the top off the spam can, how does one one reseal the can? Some one should produce a made to size plastic cover that snaps on to reseal the can. Water tight, shake proof, spill proof, no more sudden upsets where you have half a can of ammo suddenly spread out in the interior of your ...

What are the two guys in the second to the last picture doing? The stocks are worn so they appear to be part of the fixtures. Could they be aligning the sights?

John

Seriously, what color is that pistol and is there a reason it is (painted, tinted, anodized, chromed, created) that color.

Haven't had a drink or drug in 15 years.

John

Well I get to show my ignorance again by asking ..... is that the original color or is it some sort of protectant or something? Will it be washed off. Some Bulgarian even sprayed the grip screws and got overspray on the grips.

Waaa Daaa Faaa ???

John

Congrats on making it another year!

But, as has been said before -

Better than a gold watch, I think.
