I recently purchased a K98 that had been pretty abused in its prior life. Someone had buffed the hell out of the receiver and it was just too shiny to leave alone. I tried cold blue at first (The Brownells stuff is amazing) but it was just too obvious and showed some 'rainbow' effect. At this...

I just purchased a BYF41 thats missing the front sight base. I ordered one on ebay, got ready to solder/install it and its WAY too big. The K98 bbl measures .061, the sight base measures (ID) of .064. This should be a tight fit, it flops around like dads class ring on a childs finger. Did I...

A few years back I purchased a mixmaster G43. I always wanted a 'shooter' grade G43 and figured this would be the one. So, after installing a generic shooters kit, I took it to the range. Oh, that was a fun day. The first time I let the bolt go to chamber a round, the gun fired. That was a...

Apex has MG13 mags for 18 bucks each, so I decided to give it a go. I ground off the front tab, welded on a piece of angle iron and had the front fitting well. The magazine has to be cut in the rear right corner to make clearance for the bolt catch. (An unmodified mag will keep the bolt hold...

I may be late to the game. If this is already common knowledge, then forgive me. I own a rather used G43. My safety lever pops out and for the life of me I could not get the spring clip to install correctly. It just keeps popping out. Three hands and a bench vise werent helping. Ive...

Gents, I usually use a real nice 'Finn mix' on my wooden stocks. (1/3 beeswax, 1/3 turp and 1/3 BLO) Its amazing stuff and gives wood an amazing glow. I just purchased my first all matching K98, and I just want to give the stock a coat of some kind of protection/conditioner. Mine stock is...

Gents, I own a BYF 43 with an original side rail sight base. The gun is a mismatch. The sight base was damaged and soldered at some point (not a factory repair.) just below the mounting ears on the right side. (so even the one collectable piece on this gun is kind of crappy) The bbl is...

Gents, Im considering selling a German helmet. As Ive seen prices skyrocket in the last few years and Im looking to fund some other projects, It may be time to let it go. I dont want to seem like Im fishing for offers, but Id like to know what I can expect to get for it if I choose to sell it...

Ive got a side rail sniper, non matching with a less than pretty bore. Im thinking of adding a repro scope to it and selling it off. Ive heard differing opinions about how this latest batch of repros fits (specifically the mounts do not fit original scopes) but will a repro mount fit an...
