Hello,

So recently i had the opportunity to fire my grandfathers M1 Garand and i loved it, being that i cant afford a 1000 dollar rifle i thought id try and get something i could afford, after attending a gun show i found what i thought might be a suitable gun, admitiedly i think i overpaid for it. I have fired shotguns, handguns, and few different styles of rifle, but im not sure what to expect from this No 4 Mk1 After some light internet research i have found mine is a savage...

Question on my 1895 Chilean

feeds@yuku.com (LMHawker) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:33:54 GMT

I just picked up a nice 1895 DWM all matching but without the cleaning rod. In looking at the previous postings I have only seen on the left side of the butt stock the crest with the date 1895 under it. My rifle has a very faint crest but the distinctive date of 1902 under it. Is this unusual and I presume it would be the production date? Stock is stamped matching and has an "L" prefix on the serial. I am in the process of cleaning the rifle and as soon as I get done with the...

M48A Yugo Mauser For Sale (8mm) (Dallas TX)

feeds@yuku.com (Texagator) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:41:39 GMT

This is a Yugoslavian Mauser that I purchased from a gunshop specializing in older military surplus weapons. The stock was in bad shape and had absorbed a lot of grease and oil. I completely stripped the rifle and the stock. I spent several months cleaning the stock and then letting it air out before I refinished it. I know this is considered heresy and/or blasphemy but yes...I stained and refinished the stock. It looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I cleaned up all the parts and...

Problem with CZ-52 pistol

feeds@yuku.com (UintahJack) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:27:14 GMT

I was firing my CZ-52 yesterday when at the end of a magazine, I could not get the hammer to drop despite pulling back on the trigger. The hammer will still drop when using the hammer drop lever. In taking the pistol apart I noticed that when I pushed on the trigger bar disconnecter it did not spring back up like on my other CZ-52. Could the problem be with the trigger return/disconnector spring? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks,

6.5x55 Bullet Recommendations

feeds@yuku.com (Kenfal) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:04:49 GMT

I am going to start reloading for my Swede's. I have never reloaded before and I will have some help but would like recommendations for bullets. I have 3 M96 FSR rifles and 2 CG63's and have another CG63 and a CG80 on the way. I some Sierra 120 gr MK and 140 gr MK bullets for the M96's. Will these work as well for the CG63's and CG80 or is there a different weight I should go with? I will be shooting 100 yds with an occasional 200 yd maximum distance. I have been researching...

What was original finish on M39s

feeds@yuku.com (nothernug) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:28:50 GMT

Sorry but it's late and I'm feeling too lazy to look it up. What is the original/correct finish for M39s? I thought it was an oil, pine tar something? My new one is clearly shellacked and has been for a long time.

Disassembly problem on M39

feeds@yuku.com (nothernug) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:42:19 GMT

I got a new M39 and started to take it down and ran into a push me pull you problem.
Opposite the band retaining spring through the stock a pin is protruding. Depress the spring, it protrudes farther. It does not line up with t he gap in the band at the pinch screw. Therefore, I cannot remove the band. I looked on my other M39 and there's no such protruding pin. I am inclined to clip the sucker off and have done with it but thought I'd ask first before modifying anything. I do...

Tula M38 $

feeds@yuku.com (BobM14) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:39:15 GMT

Goin to Tulsa next weekend for the big show, and I'm low on cash. Trying to figure out some rifles to take and sell so I'll have some cash to buy with. Thinking about taking an unissued Madsen M47, a great Finn M27 and maybe a couple Tula M38's. I'd like some opinions of what I might be able to ask for the M38's. Both are refurbs, stamped and matching. One in a M44 type stock and the other in the proper M38 stock. Near 100% finish on both and both stocks are beautiful. No...
