Never saw any photo supporting that. More clothes?

Thought I'd share this WW I image with your guys.

Awesome buy.

Classmate Lew Throne was a machinist for 17 years before attending gonne smything school at TSJC. He has a complete machine shop (mill, lathes, grinders for his bits) and better tools than the school did. Look him up at Throne Arms. The school library has a couple volumes of K98k he can use...

Neat. I bet the Soviets still have a lot of soldbuchs in their archives.

$15k? BTW, I suspect it performed better and will retain its value more than the Dow Jones.

thanks. You guys are the experts.

Thank you. Beautiful rifle.

So much to learn from you guys. Thanks!

I can't wait for Dave Roberts' book to come out.

Granted that external adjustments like on the Win A5, Unertl were used by the USMC during WW2. Concurrently the UK with its No 32 T, America with its (miserable) Weaver M73 and Lyman Alaksan (M81/82) were like the Soviet PE/PEM/PU in that they all featured internal adjustments. Were the...

I know from looking at images of the Busch Visar scope made for the Soviet Union that the Germans were fully capable of making scopes with lateral adjustments for windage. What was the German reasoning behind it? Fewer parts? Teach their snipers to use deflection? The Soviet's scopes...

Suggest you get two pieces of acid free paper. One on top, one on bottom. Place in acid free envelope for storage and not in plastic bag (humidity). Keep out of sunlight. Handle with white cotton gloves or wash hand with soap & water before handling so as not to transfer acids/oils onto the...

Oh the humanity. :( I would buy a replica stock if it was going to the range. The original I would have "restored" (lotsa hide glue) and not repaired. The current thought among museum conservators is to arrest deterioration and to preserve it. It is thought that someday a superior...

Buy a spare shroud and then find someone who knows TIG welding. Have them cut the replacement shroud and fit it to the original. Weld and needle file (no spinning tool called the Dremel except for high points) and then sand w/emery paper to hand polish to blend it. Then reblue it (I'd use...

GunKraut raises a very good issue about the MG-13 magazine. Besides fitting it into the magazine well, you should look at the feed lips as it controls and guides the cartridge in conjunction with the feed rib of the bolt or bolt carrier. Hopefully the lips won't need modification. However, if...

You can certainly try an AK mag spring but I'd be concerned about the spring's compression within a bigger magazine body and the possibility of it becoming kinked or askew. That's why I suggested an AR-10 or M-14 magazine spring or at least something the approximate size of the modified...

The picture of the AR-7 magazine is available from American Gunsmith Magazine that was published around 2015/6. The modified spring was near the front and all it did was keep the bullet nose from porpoising up. Returning to your magazine, what I'm proposing is a spacer that doesn't interfer...

I still think it's not so much the spring as the new (modified) follower and a spacer block. The nose of the blunt blank must be kept down long enough for it to chamber. That it rises quickly is because of its shortness. Hence the rear spacer block. What that does is create a shorter...

Slow down. Do one step at a time otherwise you will never figure out why it won't feed. Will a normal 8mm Mauser feed with that MG13 follower? Will a blank cartridge feed with that MG13 follower? Then try a different spring. Will a normal 8 mm Mauser feed using that follower & spring...
