Here is my competition Garand. I did 143 coats of lacquer on the stock, all small parts are flame blued and the rifle is full match prepped. It seems to turn some heads at the range, and gets equal amounts of praise and scorn.
here is some info I got on the Yugo......
back to the 24/47- As you are probably aware, the original model 1924s built before WWII came in 2 "carbine" variants besides the rifle. Both had secondary side mounted swivels. One had a straight bolt (type II) and one a bent bolt (type I). The TI is...
Eh, whats better than a photo thread on a forum? Well it always gives you something to drool over and plan to buy so lets start a milsurp sniper photo thread. Lets show off just originals not bubba's or sporters. I'll start off.
A Yugo 24/47 Mountain Cavalry Carbine. Only 6 carbines are...
Here is my contribution. First is a holster that was given to me by a friend that is a WWII vet. It is a holster for a 1911 that was made by cutting apart a Luger holster, the retaining strap is a chinstrap from a German helmet. I am going to try and write this as close as it was told to me...
www.dupagetrading.com is an awesome source for Garand parts. I snatch up some of the "distressed" parts bundles when they offer them. For the price and what you get you cant go wrong. They are an awesome source for original stocks too.
Here is a M1 that I put together from a CMP barreled...
I like SKS's. They are fun rifles to tinker with and have fun. Here is mine that I built from random parts I had laying around. I wanted to go for that "sniper" look and it is one heck of a shooter.
your imagination is your limit when it comes to putting one together the way you want it.
With a little bedding and minor trigger tweaks a mosin is easily capable of sub MOA groups. Think of them as project guns when you buy one. I have done this with many people present and they cant believe what they see. Once i let them try shooting mine they often beg me to make thiers a shooter.
I have a couple of them and shoot them on a regular basis. There is nothing like firing an M1 and hearing the iconic ping. One of my best days shooting was when I brought an M1 out and there was an old man teaching his grandson how to shoot a .22. He kept looking over at the M1 on the bench...
OOOH thats a real tough one. I love em all, I think that is what my problem is. I would say the best shooters are my Tikka's. I have a Tikka M39, M91, M27, and a 1943 Round. All are phenomenal shooters and will perform better than me on my best day. My favorite to shoot is my 1944 PU. The...
Actually I do. It's a haunted sniper. No matter what, the screw that holds the mount on the base ends up on the floor of my safe and the turrets will be adjusted to max adjustment. Nobody has the combo to my safe but me. I even put RED locktite on the main screw and sure enough the next...
Here is mine that I did a few years back. I made the stock by splicing in a PSL stock and making my own forend. I used a Rock Solid mount and bolt body. I used one of the UK-59 machine gun barrels that TGI was selling a while back. The thing is a dream to shoot and I got the trigger down to...
well some of the newest additions to the herd.
Savage Enfield.
1884 Springfield 45-70 dated 1892
and the creme' de la creme' an only test fired national match M1
it even still has the DAS stamp on the gas cyl
BrocLuno the rifle was just a 1944 Izzy ex sniper I picked out of a crate and put a scope and mount back on. I did my little trigger tweaks and some other little minor adjustments and that was my sighting in target.
Here is 5 shots at 100 with my PE
and 5 shots at 200 with my "Monster"...
I have many Mosins and am in love with them. I have everything from a 1917 Remington, to a bunch of PU's and a PE, and Finns of all flavors. Its my honest belief that people automatically assume that since the price is low that they are junk. Every Mosin I have is a tack driver, I wouldn't...
well I love the fact that I can continually outshoot a rem-chester-by with a $79 rifle. With just some minor tweaks and about 1/2hr of work they can be amazing. I actually got asked to write a little book on accurizing them, slicking the action and basic trigger tweaks. Here is a 10 shot...
I have to say my favorite is my Mosin PU sniper. The gun was an ex sniper that I put an original scope and mount back on. I did some accuracy tweaks and the gun shoots absolutely amazing. It's my favorite because it's almost boring to shoot, no matter what I am shooting at, it gets hit. It's...
It seems like it may last longer. I am anal about my reloads and the guys laugh at me at the range because my brass supposedly could win a beauty contest. I get told all the time that shiny brass doesn't shoot any better than dull. So I did a little test, I made a couple of 7.5 Swiss reloads...
here's my process, it's a bit much but works for me. I tumble for about 20 mins with the primers in to remove any grit on the case. I then resize and toss in a coffee can with a mix of water, lemishine, and the dish soap that says it has the power of soaking all night in 5 minutes(dawn I...
