milsurp

Does anyone here have experience handloading 7.5x54 for a MAS-36? I am trying to replicate the service load, but unfortunately Vihtavuori doesn’t have any load data for this cartridge. I’m using 139gr 308 bullets with Vihtavuori N140 powder. Based on Vihtavuori’s 308 load data for a 140gr bullet...

Hey y'all, I have an egyptian Rasheed carbine I've decided I want to sell or trade out for a different addition to my collection. I've always really wanted a semi auto KP-31 carbine, but I don't have the required tooling to build my own, so if I did strive towards building one myself it would be...

Has anyone used or our own the Mojo Sight on a milsurp rifle? They're peep sights that replace the standard rear sights. I'd be very interested to hear about anybody's experience with them. They look nice and sturdy. I want to upgrade the iron sights on my SKS and Mosin Nagant.

Does anybody have any of these? I'm always on the lookout for milsurp stuff, and these two pistols have really caught my eye. The Tokarev more for the 7.62x25 round. The P-64 for the size and looks. Both guns can be had for $200 or less if you wait until a sale. Does anybody have either of...

Has anyone bought one of them? If so, what are your thoughts? They've got a real tempting price tag...

I'm going to be picking up a No.4 Mk.1 Lee Enfield next week. I don't have any pics, but I'll update later. She's a 1942 manufacterd, like most SMLE's the stock has been sporterised. While the forestock looks like it was done well, and actualy looks good, I've always wanted a fully dressed SMLE...

So my LGS got in a couple of pitted slightly rust French milsurps. Just curious what you guys think a fair price might be and any info about these firearms. This first one is a French Mas... that's about all I know. Not sure of the caliber/chambering. The rear sight is rusted in place...

Do you guys think military surplus firearms are a good investment? I understand there might be some Garands coming back to the states... but I'm talking surplus firearms as a whole. Over the last year I've acquired a few surplus rifles (an sks, a few Mosin Nagants, Hungarian Mauser, M95 Steyr...

I know it's kind of a generic topic. I have a Mosin, which is in good shape overall, shoots very well, but has a below average action, and I say that with the understanding that Mosin actions in general are pretty rough. It's hard to open (cock), heck it's even a little hard to open when...

I acquired this Finish M91. It has been de-milled. Three holes drilled in the barrel, bolt face ground off at an angle, and the chamber/breech area has been welded up. Seems to be fairly normal with the exception of these marks on the receiver. I have never seen anything like them and cant...
