Re: Thinking about a Turkish Czech 98/22

I bought it and have taken it apart, I'll post pics later. Everything matches on it, trigger guard, floorplate, barrel rings, butt plate, etc.. Even the stock has a number on the inside both stamped and written in pencil followed by 33 11. The bolt has no numbers at all. The rear parts of the bolt l...

Re: Thinking about a Turkish Czech 98/22

I took another look at it. The main overall stock isn't too bad but definitely used, for example you can see the scratches in the picture above. You can see some scratch marks above. You can also see the non matching handguard which shows little use. Every number I can find on it so far matches, but...

Re: Thinking about a Turkish Czech 98/22

The stock is a little rough in places. But from what I understand every one thats made it over here so far was actually used. As far as the barrel, from what I've seen so far it looks like I could shoot it today.

Re: What can I do with this '42, is it even safe?

The scratches were first, the split case was the 11th round I put through this rifle. I used the firing pin tool on both rifles. It should touch the 75 and not touch the 95 right? I've read up on stuck bolts and deburring, I'll definitely do that before I shoot the 42 again.

Re: What can I do with this '42, is it even safe?

The one that split came from a box of 20 I got from the sporting goods store with 7.62x54R written in pen on it. It was the first one I fired from that box. They're silver tipped with a red stripe where the bullet meets the casing, there's also a red strip around the primer. They have 10 72 stamped ...

Thinking about a Turkish Czech 98/22

My local gun shop has a Czech 98/22 with Turkish markings on the rear sight that I've been eyeballing. I think they're asking $170. Here's a couple of cell phone pics I grabbed, doesn't really show overall condition, I just wanted to look up the markings later. What do you think? http://i.imgur.com/...

Re: What can I do with this '42, is it even safe?

Thanks, I cleaned earlier today but just got done lubing and putting everything back together. The bolt on the 42 wasn't too bad at all after putting back together this time. I should definitely debur it. After i do that I think I'll get it another test round. I just noticed that the front post was ...

What can I do with this '42, is it even safe?

Hi, noob here with two 91/30s. The first one I didn't really care for when I saw it at my local sporting goods place but I had been wanting one and I figured for $100, what the hell. It's a 42, you can barely see the original stamping on it and every single piece has been electroscribed. The very ne...
