Santa delivered Bruce and Mike’s Vol 2 today. Skimming through the first book I noticed the section on hand stamped serial numbers and remembered an AR43 receiver I have with odd spaced serial numbers. So was wondering if this is one of the hand stamped receivers? I traded a sportered...

Was eating lunch with a colleague at work yesterday and mentioned my interest in military Mausers and he mentioned his father was a decorated WW2 tank driver and he brought a K98k home from the war. Out of curiosity I had him email some pics tonight. This is what he sent. Obviously not a...

Ok, I promised heavy_mech I would post this one. It’s not German used rifle but it’s about as close to a Mauser Oberndorf Gew 98 as one can get. This was posted as an Argentine Modelo 1909 parts rifle - unsafe to fire due to excessive headspace. His photos were lousy but I was able to make...

"This one's for Hambone" Belgium 89/36 restoration Hambone's duffle cut repair thread inspired me to attempt the restoration of a sported 89/36. This rifle appeared on GunBroker a couple of weeks ago at a low starting price. Managed to get it for a very decent price. Hand guard and...

My shooting buddies are always buggin me to try the "AR platform". Well I finally broke down and got one, and I guess they were right. It's a really nice shooter. Built this shooter on a matching AR43 action-less bolt. Used a pristine post war Czech donor barrel (swapped the d&t Czech...

Posted this recent gunbroker pick up on gunboards but did not get any history as to what became of these after WW1 ended. I assume they were returned to Belgium - but don't really know. Anyone know if they were scrapped, stored, issued as is, or converted back to the original chambering...

This one was sure nice looking - alas quickly went out of my price range. That's almost matching k98k price range. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/565463096 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quite a little battle developed over this one. Would have been a pretty cool project, but quickly got out of my league. For my edification - are there any clues from the markings where this build occurred? Would assume the slotted sight base dates it after 1940? Marty...

Purchased this barreled action from a forum member recently to build a shooter. My first gew98. Receiver, barrel, sight triggerguard and screws match. Bolt is Prussian I was told and matches itself. I fit it to a vz98/22 stock. Now my question. The barrel is counterbored and groups...

Was it worth it? http://m.gunbroker.com/Item/374295675

Recently bought this 27 1938 barreled receiver. Just noticed the receiver has Waa 280 twice and 77 once-the middle stamp. Barrel is 77 x 3. It is an RC even thou it doesn't have the x on the receiver. Is this unusual? I assume the rifle was inspected right at the change back from 77 team to...
