Thanks for the quick reply. You are right about the sentimental value and I don't want to do anything to ruin it but definitely want it back in operational condition as i would like to hunt with it from time to time. When i get home i will pull the serial number off the scope and try and contact...
I just inherited my grand father's deer rifle (Browning A-bolt 7mm rem mag) and it has a Swarovski Habicht Nova 3x12x56 from the mid-late 90's. Problem is that the magnification and turret caps are frozen. The rifle sat untouched in his collection for several years before his death. I am...
I have a century import M1. Mine evidently came from Taiwan as it has a barrel from there and the rear sight has Chinese markings. Other than that it is a mid 40's springfield armory receiver, International harvester bolt and the other internals appear to be SA as well. Furniture is in good...
Thanks for the info on this rifle. I was a bit puzzled myself as to what you had truly built as the editing didn't do that rifle any justice. On another note Jerry was unreal with that suppressed AK in his hands. Surprised BATF hasn't made him register his trigger finger:rofl:
Tell me about it. The Norinco quality is nothing to brag about. If these rifles were still importable you could probably pick one up for less than $1k. The varnish job on the front end is surprisingly nice though.

If i can get around to it I will snap a few pics of the rifle.
yeah I am hoping to pay him less than $2500. He said he would cut me a deal since i have been holding onto it for him for quite some time due to him moving around quite a bit over the last few years. I definitely don't want to over pay but will be heart broken to have to part with it. It really...
I have been holding onto a Norinco NDM-86 chambered in 7.62x54R for my cousin for a few years now and I am interested in purchasing it from him. Does anyone know what is the going price for one of these rifles? It has the matching serial# scope with case and one 10rnd mag. Gun is in excellent...
What grease are you using? I didn't realize i was going to have to baby this garand so much. Good thing I did some reading instead of just buying some 30-06 and slinging some lead:)
Do I still have to send in a written application as if I am buying a rifle in order to buy ammo from cmp? Also what about just buying an adjustable gas plug and shooting commercial ammo?
I have one made in Ishapore 1951 and it has a really dark stock. The action is much smoother on the enfield than the k98 IMO and I love the full length wood stock used on these rifles.
What ammo are you shooting out of your garand? I recently bought one but don't have any .30-06 ammunition yet. Been reading about bent operating rods from shooting current ammo.
Damn that is cheap. I just paid $329 for the hard chrome one in Houma last Thursday and thought that was a good deal. Shot the little gun on Sunday and was very impressed.
Shot it this weekend and was pleasantly surprised. Recoil is snappy but definitely manageable. With a little practice it should be fairly easy to become proficient with this little gun. I ran about 20 rounds through it without any jams or fail to fires. Now I just need to find a decent holster...
I just bought a Ruger LCP with the stainless slide from Houma Auto parts today. I had been trying to decide between the Kel-Tec P3AT, Ruger LCP and a J frame revolver for quite some time and finally decided on the LCP. It seems to fit my hand well and you couldn't ask for a more comfortable gun...
I checked both FWIW. The instructor did go over basic function and shooting techniques with both types of handgun but we just qualified with whatever we brought to the range.
My wife if like this for some reason. She doesn't care if I have a concealed handgun permit but doesn't want me to carry a gun around her or the children:doh:
