Bolden the text retard. Also my dust cover arrived in the mail for my Type 38. Fit like a glove luckily, super aesthetic; love this gun.
Jackson Cook
My favourite shooer of all time for accuracy:
Schmidt Rubin langes Gewehr M 1911:
-excellent trigger
-eye friendly, good sights
-afaik best stock of all surp in ergonomic ways
-not too hard recoiling/ power consuming and cheapo surp / accurate round
-makes a noice pike/helbeard with bayonet attached since 1.3 m long
-bolt looks like a sicko 19th century enema device
Carson Fisher
no.
noice, shot it already?
Kayden Nelson
Time and time again, no matter what, I always come back to the M1917.
>great sights
>wonderful bolt shape

I still want to send her in to the CMP for a rebarrel and reblue. She's a recovered sporter with terrible rifling and meh headspace, so no collector value, but the only thing giving me pause is the barrel is original. Fuck.

My Czech-Turkish Vz.98/22. It will shoot under 2MOA with surplus ammo.
I want to get a G11; a lovely, elegant rifle.
Luke White
What's a Remington 1917 nugget worth in unmolested condition?
Thomas Cooper
Need more details. Finned? Matching?
Ethan Taylor
Asking for pics, haven't seen them yet. Matching and unsporterized, bore good, is what I've been told.
Lucas Bell
I like them, a lot, have 3 G11s and a 96/11
Owen Ramirez
How much do they want?
Grayson Walker
They've asked me to suggest a fair price. It's someone I used to work with; their uncle passed away a while ago and they've decided a couple years later to sell his house and found a bunch of shit. This is the only gun so far apart from a couple Glocks.

m1917s are fine rifles
this is a remington with the cutout for norwegian loading frames and the frontsight has been changed from blade to pole by the danes for their sledge hound patrols. guess the slim blad is hard to see agains the snow.
Isaac White
finned with good bore, 1917 production,

Bolt not in raifu, but overall nice. Shoots high right but I can't name a Surp rifle with better sights

Joseph Cruz
Out of everthing I've owned and shot, surp wise, this '44 Longbranch is the best by far. It's about a 1.8 to 2MOA rifle but the ergonomics, LOP, sights, trigger pull and everything just seem to click for me. It's natural to shoot, I feel comfortable with it and critically I have a well established load and good data I know nearly by heart. End result is it can be relied on to hit whatever I aim at so long as I don't fuck something up like snatch the trigger or fail to build position correctly. And for its part it's consistent, nothing seems to throw it out or change its zero.
I've never shot one that didn't feel good, they're another rifle I would describe as shootable as fuck.
Ayden Torres
It's hard to pick a favorite. My Ross is the most accurate though.
Aaron Cox
Huh, surprising. Happy for you user, but I've never been a terribly big fan of Enfield pattern rifles because of what I see as some major design inadequacies. Do you shoot surplus ammo through it?
Easton James
favourite rifle because: smle.
god, i love that scene at the well in the movie ghandi, that brit officer is peak aesthetic and cool:
Government Advocate: General Dyer, is it correct that you ordered your troops to fire at the thickest part of the crowd?
Gen. Dyer: That is so.
Government Advocate: 1,516 casualties with 1,650 bullets.
Gen. Dyer: My intention was to inflict a lesson that would have an impact throughout all India.
i bet they poo in loo now.
Isaac Ward
No, even if it was readily available I wouldn't. Corrosive primers, shitty propellant accelerating wear (if it's cordite) etc. Home loads are cheap enough.
The exception was some South African R1 M3Z which is excellent milspec Mk7z ball from the 80s.
Jayden Brown
most fun to shoot: M95 Steyr.
the punishing recoil and the short sight radius
demand focusing or its gonna be a painful rangeday full of miss.
Xavier Ortiz
Stupid question, but should I be worried about "shooting out" the bore of a milsurp gun? I don't want to kill my nicer guns (Luger, M1 Garand, etc).
Zachary Wilson
No.
Ryder Sanders
if you dont shoot 1000s of rounds per year, your grandchildren are gonna have fun with your funs.
Jayden Morris
>implying I won't be buried with my guns
I will mummify them and construct a grand Jow ForumsI've tomb.
Jeremiah Murphy
My autism makes me worry about this as well, I don't want to wear out the accurate barrel life of my surp with newish bores. Luckily, or not, I'm too poor to shoot enough for that.
Christian Lee
Not quite yet. Soon
William Hall
Fuck thats impressive mine certainly doesnt lol
Carson Morgan
Probably a Lee Enfield of some sort. The bolt is just sooooo slick. I don't care about stacking bullets in the same hole. If we're talking semi-auto, probably a full power battle rifle like an M1.
Cooper Sullivan
Got it this week
Thomas Torres
Well that took a while.
Asher Smith
Markings are a bit cleaner with innumerable years of dirt and cosmoline picked out of them.
Parker Gomez
K98 and no.4 Enfield
what are some long term storage wear items (springs, etc.) that I should buy to future proof these rifles? would be interested in hearing specifics from anyone knowledgeable.
Chase Robinson
Gavin Nguyen
My K11 shoots MOA or under with PPU. Swedish Mauser gets about 1.5 MOA with PPU match ammo. Next best would be my arisaka, it pulls of 2 MOA with Norma. Worst is my Turkish Mauser, it gets between 3-4 MOA with Romanian steel case.

Argy carbine. Hard to find in the engineers carbine and that gun has an incredibly smooth bolt. Cleaning rod also matches

mauser or carcano level?

Noah Richardson
IDK pham; I've had this rifle for only 24 hours. I don't begin to buy ammo/accessories until I can check a rifle over and ensure it's worth keeping.
>no Balle "N" upgrade
John Carter
I think for most people it’s a very irrational fear. I too used to be concerned about it, but now I have 50+ firearms and counting and plenty of rifles see about 100 rounds or less per year. I typically can only go shooting once or twice a week and I only take 3-4 guns per time.
Brandon Cox
Any tips on reading the original markings on a yugo mauser? I can just make out the eagle, and 2 or so of the original serial numbers. But what I'm interested in is the date mark.
Christian Wood
forget it.
as long as nobody comes up with the years linked to serial numbers there is not much to get out of it.
Ryder Lopez
I can't find anything on mine. The only thing I know for Yugo K98ks is that the W block for Yugo serial numbers did not have the markings scrubbed for whatever reason. Now it's just a matter of finding one.

I have begun the pilgrimage we all strive for! I am unearthing my first nougat from its cosmoline cocoon!
Join me on this journey, brothers!
James Kelly
Noice and gooey, bois
Currently using vinegar windex to degrease and it’s going well. Stock is laminate and it’s one of the Tula batches just imported. I got it for slightly less than most are selling them for but it was by no means I steal. I just wanted a Tula while I could still get one. Rifle looks damn near untouched.
Andrew Anderson
Looking at a SMLE No. 4 Mk 1 right now, what should I reasonably expect to pay?
Robert Murphy
400-500
Alexander Hughes
Picked up my civil guard 1916 today. Everything matches but the buttplate and probably stock, but the gun looks fantastic. Bore is beautiful. I'm going to load up some 7.62x51 150 grain with 40.6 grain 4064, since that's the starting load in my hornady book. Does anyone have a different load for these?
Nice. How much? I've found that a blow dryer is almost better than any other method for removing cosmo
Justin Collins
Got it for 300 with bayonet and accessories. Appears to be matching #s.
Like I said, not a steal, but everywhere else they’re going for $350 or so.
Nathan Flores
That's honestly a pretty good price for a complete kit. What year?
Isaiah Martinez
Just curiosity really. It's a Mod. 48, so from what I've read it's a pre-1950 remark.
It's super faint, seems like it's only visible due to the effect of stamping the steel. Only visible in the right light.
Joseph White
She’s a 1944. Tula crest is clean and legible. I gotta say, she’s kind of a looker.
Robert Lopez
Alright nice, got in a bid for 430 atm. Stay and pray lads
Asher Rodriguez
Where to find M1917 besides gunbroker?

Liam Allen
there's a regular here who has the most aesthetic mosin, it features brass and has red wood. I'm jelly
Jace Roberts
>where to find M1917
Gun shows. Gun stores. Any place you find guns, really.
Adrian Ramirez
It's popular to hate mosins now that they're not cheap as fuck. Everyone forgets that they were part of the first generation of smokeless guns, and while they weren't great, they weren't bad enough to replace by Russian standards.
Cooper Brooks
GAWD those arctic birch stocks are insane. Not gonna lie, the red-orange laminate on my new acquisition does it for me...
Also, acquired Spanish shorty boi with pokey end.
Eli Allen
Yeah now that they're $300 and up it's hard to justify buying one unless you just like milsurp and history like us autists. Still, I think most milsurp is a good investment. There will be a day where you won't find an SKS under $1000, especially if the dems pass an assault weapons ban
Ryder Taylor
Which surp gun do you guys own that gets the most attention at the range?
I thought it would forever be my K31 until I took my 7mm mauser rolling block to the range today and had 4 different people ask me about it.
Jason Ward
Garand and/or Luger. Flexing on the poorfags by bringing a Garand, Luger, P38, and SVT always leads to tons of people asking to try them. I just got the Luger, yet I already get a ton of "oooh shiny can I try" comments.
Josiah Carter
>Rough pricing on SMLE MK I Irish free-state issue in good condition?

Nathaniel Jones
M-Mosin?
Kayden Cox
Mosin.
Nolan Gomez
I'll draw you some hentai if you send me one of those mosins. It can be any one you don't want.
Noah Perez
I know that feel. And I'm a poor fag, so its not like my WW2 milsurp was in great condition to start with.
This, I think the only solution is to get more guns and rotate.
Michael Rivera
>muh design flaws
you can like mausers and still not be a total bitch about cock on close and rear locking lugs. There's nothing wrong with Enfield pattern rifles, they aren't winning any PRS comps but they dominate millsurp shooting events for good reason. Comfy ergos, fast to shoot and accurate enough.
Wyatt Price
il'l send u a mosin, maybe a m39,
if u send me one of your female relatives,
but only if she's pretty and younger than 30.
god i feel muslim now.
Jaxson Diaz
It's a pretty good idea to have spare extractors, ejectors and springs, firing pin/main springs, magazine springs, sear springs, spare sear, any springs related to the sight etc
Goes for all milsurps and where each apply. Goes for all guns actually.
Nicholas Hill
I wish I could shoot well with Swede short-rifles. My eyes aren't good enough, not really good enough for any open sights actually.
Leo Peterson
weeeellll... in the austrian ordance rifle competitions I've shot so far its more a question of caliber for the top 3 ranks and inherent accuracy, trigger, stock ergo and sight radius for the top 10, the rest is whatever lucky or bad day the shooter had.
so top 3: with swedish and south american mausers in 6,5x55 and 7x57 mm, all handloads, marksmen put 20 shots within a 2 euro coin, kinda 1" at 100m.
ranks 4-10 are usually swiss, finnish or p14/17 rifles, k98 and mosins. i saw a no.4 once among the top 10 but that was one timer.
since most milsurp have a similar inherent accuracy if in good shape, the ammo allows with handloads to unfluence the result the most.
and .303 brit isnt exactly a precision round compared to 6,5 swede.
Aaron Miller
get p14/17 or no.4 enfields, mas 36 or fr8, they sll have peep sights.
or swiss g11, 96/11, k11 they have big notches and broad front sights, as well as finn mosins like m28/30 or m39
getting shitty eyes myself, but these can be shot without glasses.
Kevin Gomez
Are those yours? Goddamn. A No4 in 6.5x55 has always been a dream of mine, action isn't really long enough for the best sort of shit but I think it's long enough for milspec Swedish ball which was nothing to scoff at.
I love my longboi m/96 but if I was to shoot anything that required more than just small groups, even a competition primarily judged on accuracy as long as it was off benches and rests, I'd take my No4. I suppose it comes down to what people are in practice with, I'm sure on the continent Enfields aren't as favoured as in the Commonwealth countries. No argument about .303 though, it was good enough for a military round but it's not in the top flight compared to many of its contemporaries.
Cooper Thompson
Way ahead of you, all my rifles have some kind of aperture sight.
