Hey all, I've got a K31 with a bulge one inch from the muzzle; I picked it up in one of allans-armory's project sales. So, I want to get it inspected, and then slice off the forward section of the barrel (yes I will keep it above 16 inches!), recrown it, and re-attach the front sight assembly...

I appreciate the insight guys, but I'm not interested in how this relates to current events. I just want to understand how background checks have worked since the Brady Bill, particularly since a friend of mine claimed that the Federal Government maintains a list of all background checks that...

Hi guys, I was trying to figure this out on my own, but googling it is impossible with all these news articles getting in the way. Anyway, hopefully someone with an FFL can weigh in here; when you run a background check and file the 4473 for a customer or tranferee, what does the...

The K31 without a doubt. Easily the finest constructed rifle that I own; I consider it easily superior to my VZ-24.

I find the straight stocks really uncomfortable when shooting, honestly, and would definitely recommend a synthetic. I understand that a synthetic stock + trigger + muzzle break will probably cost more than the rifle though, so it's really just a matter of whether you want it and the cost is...

He said it was a misrepresentation of the quote, not her intentions. I'm sure we've all had things we want to say before that we haven't; if she has never publicly declared her desire to see private firearm ownership in the United States destroyed, it's very impolitic to publicly assume it...

Well, I got the rifle scarcely six months ago, so I couldn't imagine that prices could inflate so quickly. I'd gotten a few inquiries and tried to barter at a starting point of $200 but they would turn it down and neglect to negotiate. I guess the Engield surplus is almost totally dry, huh...

I went to a gunshow today and sold my Enfield since I didn't really want it anymore and need the money for school. My friends keep telling me I sold it way too low. I bought it for $150 and so let it go for $175. It was a 1943 Maltby in decent mechanical condition, but with noticeable pitting...

http://gun-deals.com/ammo.php?caliber=8mm+Mauser At 20 cents a round, I would hardly classify it as 'gone'. The Mauser 96 definitely is a great rifle though, and pretty unique amongst the lineage with its cock-on-closing action. I'd get both if you have the money, just because Swede guns are...

That's a pretty good deal, probably one of the best I've seen in a long time. I picked up a Czech VZ-24 from them about a year ago for 239$ with bayonet, so it's clear that these are only going up in price. It's nice that they include a sling and ammo pouch with this one though. I had to buy my...

938th Mountain Infantry Company. I'm guessing "Unit A". I couldn't tell you what the next number means without a picture of it, but it's most likely an address. The cards only ever featured a date of birth; they were never stamped with rifle construction or an issue date. The slings are often...

Depends on the strength of the solvent and the type of finish. I find that Hoppe's doesn't seem to do anything to oil finishes; in fact sometimes I rub Hoppe's purposefully onto my stock that I finished with Tung oil. If you're talking about something like Acetone, try not to let that stuff...

What should I buy for one thousand dollars... a junky station wagon with 200,000 miles, or a new Corvette? Hm...

How much do those things kick using some modern manufactured Partizan ammo? At that price I'm strongly considering picking up a rifle myself. And where'd you get a die that sizes to .331? I was under the impression that most out there will only size it to .329.

Check back on JG Sales. They just reduced the price on the non-bayonet rifles to 99$, and the rifles with matching bayonet are 150$.

The rifle isn't really that expensive to feed. I don't understand all the complaints; ammo cost is pretty typical. The only thing going against it is the fact that Mosin-Nagant ammo and Yugo surplus 8mm is so wondrously cheap - otherwise feeding a K31, Swedish Mauser, or Lee-Enfield are just as...

I wouldn't say $180 is steep for any rifle. If the Soviets hadn't flooded the market with them I'd have said that's even a reasonable price for a Mosin-Nagant given its quality and workmanship. As for a better deal, Allan's Armory occasionally has them pop up and he generally sells them for...

I don't understand why people assume I have no time or interest in undertaking a project. I asked how difficult the task would be, but never asked people to provide alternative solutions. I want a tube magazine on my WZ-78. If I wanted a Marlin 60 I'd just go out and buy one. Would anyone be...

I have this .22 rifle that I picked up a few months ago, and it's a great rifle. One of those imported Polish WZ-78's. I really dislike magazine feed for .22 rifles though, because tube fed rifles have so much more capacity, and speed loaders make reloading a lot faster than having to swap 5...

How about a picture of the entire rifle? It always frustrates me when on gunbroker people take a thousand close up shots of different parts of a rifle and then never actually show the entire thing.
