wow 200 for all that? I'll give you 300 right now and you just made a 100 dollar profit, hahahahahahah

Amazing rifle, I wish they didn't cost an arm and a leg, guess I need to do some saving.

My first purchase was a 1942 91/30 and I have never regretted it. They are cheap, the ammo is cheap, they are easy to disassemble, and are fairly accurate. I know with mine I had to spend some time removing copper fouling to get the groups to tighten up but as of right now I cant think of a...

Russian surplus in spam cans has worked best for me. The stuff I currently have was made in the 70s.

I have a German 98k from 1943 and love it. It needed some cleaning but after that it shoots great. I suggest Yugo ammo over Romanian, i found better consistency with it.

Yea certainly, there's still a bunch of research to do before I bust out the credit card.

Alright well if it's not hard to remove then Ill probably just get one without a front sight since I plan on getting an optic of some sort. Wow I'm quickly finding out that ARs have a snowball effect. You decide to change one thing and the next thing you know your swapping out all kinds of stuff.

Would the 2 piece handguard allow me to leave my gas block etc intact?

Thanks for all the input. If I have to take the gas block off then I might as well get one without a front sight as I'd rather have rail mounted sights. Question about the compensator though, in getting it off will I be able to put it back on? If not will there be threads there to put a...

I dont have the rifle at my apartment right now, but I'm happy with the comp and the barrel at the moment so I wouldnt want to replace them unless I had to. As for an upper i would get one that already has the forward assist, dust cover etc. installed.

So I acquired an AR when my father passed away. It's a Bushmaster AR-15 5.56 NATO on the barrel, it was purchased during the ban so it has no bayonet lug and the compensator on it I'm assuming is pinned. The stock was a mock extandable but I replaced that with an actual extender. What I'm...

Formby's tung oil finish worked out really well on my Mauser. Dries very fast and filled in the grain after about 10 coats.

On my mosin and mauser i used Hoppes bench rest, or whatever their copper solvent is called. I ran a wet then dry patch through until they were relatively clean, then ran a wet patch through and let it soak overnight then went back and did the wet/dry patch routine and eventually they started...

What they said plus if anyone is like my father, it may have been shot on about 4 occasions, cleaned and never touched again. When he passed away I basically inherited an arsenal of new guns, which fetched me a lot of good offers when I sold a bunch of them.

Outstanding!
