I was going to start a new thread but happened upon this one so I'll ask here. My new to me model 99 came home with me yesterday. I'm trying to date it, and found this site, and when I put my serial number in it says 'made after 1951'. On what I would think to be the lever boss is an...

My '96 Swede in 8mm Should have taken some before pics. Bought from SARCO for about $100.00. Refinished stock, blued the barrell, polished the bolt, and installed a Timney trigger.

Thanks, that's just the info I was looking for. I believe that the action was placed directly into the wood. I don't believe that there is any bedding done at all. Here's a photo of the missing wood and crack. The crack really doesn't look this distinct, it's amplified by the camera flash...

Just throwing this out there, i've got an '03 Springfield that was sporterized. Whoever did it spent quite a few bucks on it I think. The metal is black, the bolt is polished, the trigger is very light, it has some kind of adjustable peep sight, and it's all in a beautiful Bishop stock. The...

I saw an $1100.00 (not a typo) SKS at the last show I went to.

Get off my lawn!!! I'm 39.

Not going to modify it. It's staying the way it was intended.

Alright, I'm going to leave it as is and shoot it with a big dopey grin on my face. Hope the ammo gets here for this weekend. :D

Thanks for the replies. Found Privi ammo at Cabelas relatively cheap, and free shipping. Going to get 200 rounds to start. As far as the finish, I had a feeling it was redone at some point. What's the consensus, do it correctly, or leave it alone?

My Grandfather passed away when I was about 17 and left me some of his rifles. One of them was a No 5 mk 1 Enfield. There was something about that rifle I always liked. Sadly, my parents got rid of them all when I was away. Lately, I've been thinking about that rifle and admiring some of the...

Wierd! I just saw the exact same type of deal on a motorcycle forum I'm on!

Took mine to the range yesterday with it's cousins. Found some Lapua ammo for it and it shoots amazingly well. Unfortunately it's not reloadable.

In NJ, NJSP covers the background check. For which we pay $17.00 extra. Sorry, got off track. I don't recall the firearm information being included other than longgun/handgun. But it's been a little while. Additionaly, NJ has their own transfer paperwork in addition to the ATF form.

Eez gun to protect Mother Russia, eez no sooposed to be safe. J/K Looked at mine and it doesn't have a safety that I can see, other than the one between my ears.

I only have 1, and I've never had the urge to shoot it. It's kind of the red-headed step child in my collection.

Yeah, I did a search for Gevelot and that seems to be the general concensus. I guess I have 100 paperweights now. Hopefully I'll be able to use the brass and make up some good rounds out of them.

I didn't think so, I figured in combat in WW1 and 2 the soldiers shooting the thing could have gone all day if not days on end between cleanings. But I do like this rifle and want to make sure I treat it right.

Glad I found this thread. I found some French surplus .30-06 yesterday that I believe is corrosive. That is to say that I am going to treat it as corrosive and clean the rifle with soapy water after firing it. My question, and forgive me if it's been asked before, should I clean the rifle...

I woud strongly reccomend against lying to NJSP. How are the job prospects? It might be advisable to wait until you have a new job to apply.

Very nice rifle, congratulations. I really enjoy shooting mine now that it cycles reliably. Go on out and enjoy it.
