Hello all, I'll be traveling to Utah later this week, mainly SLC, Park City, etc. and was curious what my best options were to have some fun at a range, with full auto rental. Being from NJ, such experiences are next to impossible, so I want to take advantage while I'm there. Any...

The PTR-91 looks great, however I would have to order it without a flash hider/muzzle brake I guess. Booo! -Joe

Thanks for all the info. fellas! I will be researching all of these. I'm looking to buy towards the end of summer. -Joe

Hi all, I know there are a handful of companies that make clones similar to an HK41, but can't recall who they are. Can anyone help me out? thanks -Joe

Is it necessary to remove any finish already? I scrubbed it with rubbing alcohol yesterday and that got a lot of crap off of it. -Joe

Thanks for the info guys...I think I'm just gonna oil it. Cheers! -Joe

phoglund, After the BLO layers, did you add anything else to it? I'm considering a layer of two of tru-oil. Think this is unnecessary? Can you post pics of yours by chance? thanks -Joe

Heh, I actually did the hair dryer method. I've just finished cleaning up the action/barrel, so I will give more attention to the wood next. I have a little portable heater that will work perfect for this. -Joe

Guys, I'm actually considering ditching the stain route and going with boiled linseed oil. Any precautions I should take? Necessary to do the steel wool between each coat? Would it be ok to finish the last 2 layers with tru-oil? thanks -Joe

bump!

Thanks, just the info I was looking for! -Joe

Hey guys, If you have seen my recent threads you will know that I received a Yugo 24/47 Mauser from Classic Arms. I realize these are from Samco. While cleaning more cosmoline off tonight, I noticed that the barrel has a stamp/etching that says something like: "Samco MIA CZC 7.92mm"...

Thanks for the info. I have much pondering to do before I finish her. Thanks! -Joe

Also, what kind of wood is my stock? Walnut? Is it a laminate? It is a regular old 24/47 from Classic Arms. thanks -Joe

Thanks for the pics! I have a feeling the gun stock stain will be closest to the third rifle. I'm considering buying a different stain...or maybe mixing a few. ORRR perhaps I will just oil it. I really love the look of the second pic that you posted?? Which finish would you guys recommend...

I have already bought some Minwax "Gun stock" stain and planned on using that and sealing it with Tru-Oil, but now I think I might want something darker. What say you? Post as many pics as possible! Suggestions are all welcome! -Joe

Well, just ended a long day of cosmo cleaning and Ed's Red soaking. The steamer actually worked great to loosen most of it up. I wiped the rest off. I still have some nooks to get into on the barrel and receiver, but the bore (which I cleaned) is nice and shiny! Next I will finish the cosmo...

Thanks gents, I will try this. -Joe

Trust me, I've tried! I don't see how it can just slide off since it's latched onto the bolt. I read on the Yugo Mauser forum that it isn't really necessary to remove anyway. I'll be boiling the bolt parts anyway, so hopefully the internal crud will all come out! thanks -Joe

Ok, new dilemma lol. Anyone know how to remove the extractor from the bolt? The surplus rifle instructions say it just slides off, but this seems impossible. Any ideas? -Joe
