    Should I clean or leave as found 1940 K98k

    My 2 cents is as follows: Stock - Leave it alone. It looks good, and the proof marks are pretty clear all things considered. Rifle - Ballistol on gun cleaning wipes. Rinse and repeat. If needed, bronze wool and Ballistol will take away more stubborn surface rust. When taking it apart, go...

    That's super cool! Never seen that type of ammo before.

    Hanguard Without Vents?

    Womp womp. Well now I definitely don't feel bad about trying to craft my own vents 😁

    Hanguard Without Vents?

    Does anyone else have a handguard missing the 2 heat dissipation vents on each side? I was looking through Rough Forged in the handguard section, and it didn't mention anything about it. Would it be possible to create the vents in the handguard via a stock expert? I have a crack running down...

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    Nice! If you've got time PM me your reload formula, I want to make sure I'm straight when I start reloading

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    Failure to feed on the 7th or 8th round consisntely. I think the gas system is good to go. I did the painters tape test, and the bolt doesn't cycle all the way to the rear and bounce off back.

    G43 I found & bought recently (New to G43 Collecting)

    My DUV 44 also hangs up halfway like your video shows, but only if I slowly let it forward. When I rack the charging handle back and let it fly home at full force, it doesn't hang up. I think it's normal.

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    It seems like very high quality ammo. Wish it wasn't $1.25 to $1.50 per round though :rolleyes:

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    I am researching good reloading formulas for when I get to that stage. Never done it before, so I will shooting you a PM at some point!

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    I agree! Not sure about the risks of the romanian ammo, other than it's corrosive as hell. Good thing I'm OCD about rifle cleaning 😁 Got a good amount of PPU that I'll fire and reload too. I'll let you know, thanks for the help!

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    I do indeed, and the smallest orifice that came with. I could maybe try going up a size, but I have it tuned quite well with the smallest orifice. I figured out how to disassemble the magazine, and gave it a good cleaning yesterday. We'll see how it goes!

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    Absolutely, I will give that a go. I was using 1977 Romanian 8mm.

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    Sweet, I will give it a try. Just thought it was so strange how it failed on the 7th or 8th round every time.

    Consistent Failure To Cycle

    #1) Took my DUV out this weekend, and had a GREAT time! It cycled flawlessly until I reached the final 2 or 3 rounds of the magazine. It would fail to cycle on either round #7 or #8 of the magazine every single time. I'd clear it, and it would cycle the last 2 or 3 rounds just as it should...

    Replacement Spring Set Recommendation

    Perfect, thank you for the information! I will get a new spring kit ordered up from Wolff and be good to go.

    Replacement Spring Set Recommendation

    Awesome, so although the springs are for an 1898 Mauser, they will still work for me 1940 237?
