You can apparently get them here: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/3-pk-schmidt-rubin-k-31-stripper-clips.aspx?a=506892 or here http://northridgeinc.com/store/index.cfm/c146/i898 etc. I just searched on "K31 stripper clips" and found those. I got mine at a gun show. They are...

My experience with the Star model B is probably different than most but I'll post it anyway. I bought a Star Model B Super. It was supposed to be in 9x19. (says so on the slide) However, at some point, my Start Model B Super was converted (barrel and mag) to 9mm Largo. Huh... Well, I...

I also believe that people who use Windex or hot water follow up the cleaning with "normal" cleaning products. The Windex or water are just to take care of the salts. Not for final cleaning. Are you just trying to skip a step? As a previous poster mentioned, you can't beat the price of...

Hi, I went to a Appleseed event about 2 years ago so I'll try to help out. Although my event was also a 2 day event, I could only attend for 1 day due to schedule issues on my end. I went with a SKS and planned on bringing about 400 rounds of ammo for the two days. I think I actually went...

I have the clamp on mount as well. So far it has been 100%. I have had no complaints with the mount itself. I did discover one issue with mounting a scope however. When I first put the scope on, it worked fine. I then repositioned the rings on the mount, and did not pay attention to...

JuryRig, Thanks for clarifying what you bought. I had originally thought you had bought one of these: http://www.model1sales.com/item-detail.cfm?ID=USE200&storeid=1&image=ustd20.gif Thanks for the clarification. Andy

Wow.. there are a lot of answers in those seemingly simple questions. Lightspeed. You said I'm going to take your questions in reverse order... 1) Not really a question but you said I have two rifles based on the Mosin Nagant action. A 91/30 and a Finnish M39. Both definitely are...

JuryRig, When you bought that, did you do any weight comparisons between the 20 inch stainless and the 20 inch chrome-moly? I too have been thinking about a 20 inch rifle kit and wondered about the weight of the stainless barrels. Which kit did you get? Did you get the standard 20 inch kit...

Furncliff. That's an excellent idea. Thanks for that link. I actually belong to that site and I forgot about it! :-) -A

Hi Folks I just acquired a Star B Super and I am confused as to what I got. (Not good right?? :rolleyes:) The slide is marked as 9 m\m P. I assumed (bad idea right?) that meant 9 mm Parabellum. From this site, it seems like the Star B and B Super only came in 9mm Parabellum...

I have shot about 500 rounds of Blazer Brass and I can't tell any difference between it and Remington UMC. My comparison measures is just casual plinking. Accuracy, reliability, etc all seems to be about the same as Remington UMC. I've never had an issue with it. I have only shot their...

If you want further clarification on how to remove the bolt on the Mosin-Nagant, look at steps 1 and 2 here: http://www.surplusrifle.com/mosincarbine/rifledisassembly/index.asp Super easy. Bolt goes back in with the instructions reversed. Another think to look for (if it matters to...

Just a question. Why would a range require soft or hollow point ammo? What would a range be trying to prevent with this requirement. I would have guessed that any ban on surplus ammo would have been on the steel case and not the type of tip the bullet has. Thanks for any info on this...

Ifishsum said: I didn't know that. In that case, cutting off the cross pin does permanently destroy the latch pin. Learn something new everyday. :) Andy

I have a Yugo and I had to file off the pin of my take down lever. It didn't permanently destroy my take down lever. It merely removed the pin that prevents the take down lever from being removed from the receiver. I followed there procedures...

Hey GregS. Since you are new to a Mosin, are you also new to surplus ammo and its cleaning requirements? if not, short story is that it's fine to shoot so long as you clean your rifle immediately with water (or a water based cleaning solution like Windex or soap and water) after shooting...

Hi Guys, A quick question on buying M39. Does the receiver matter much? One maker vs. another? Antique vs. non-Antique? For example, is there any issue with buying a rifle with a pre-1899 (or whatever the magic date is..) receiver if the intention is for a shooter? What about who...

realswalker said: One such "peep" sight for a 10/22 is the TechSight. http://www.tech-sights.com/ They make rear peep sights and replacement front sights for both the SKS and the 10/22. I have the rear on my SKS and really like it. On my SKS it increases the sight radius and makes...

More info on the rifles used at my Appleseed event. I don't have the exact numbers but here is what I remember: 2 M1A1 (1 failed to finish due to a broken extractor) 2 Garands (1 failed to finish due to extraction issue. A backup was then called into service) 2 SKSs (both Yugo) 1...

I went to an appleseed event about a year ago. I brought my SKS with a TechSight mounted on it. At our shoot there was a guy with a lever action marlin and another guy with a tube fed .22. In both cases these guys were at a disadvantage due to the speed of reloading these type weapons during a...
