      Polymer lower update

      I’ve been running a couple polymer 80% ar lowers for a while now. After an inspection I found something interesting... There’s a polymer 80 (gen 2) that has been used to build a 300 blackout carbine that has a little over 100 rounds through it and developed a hairline crack at the top of the...

      Longest produced firearm

      Time to pick some brains... What would be the longest produced firearm of any given design? I’ll break it down into a couple parts: Longest serving rifle, pistol and shotgun used continuously by a major military without massive design changes? Longest produced commercial rifle pistol...

      Dummy m14

      Does anyone know of any dummy m14 receivers available anywhere? I have enough parts to put together a wall hanger but need a receiver. Either that or I need a norinco receiver

      https://www.gunbroker.com/item/746655275 I haven’t heard of the vz52-52/57 ever having any magazines with more than a 10 round capacity. Anyone have any knowledge on this thing?

      Spare vz52 barrel

      When accumulating parts for a vz52 project, I ended up with a spare barrel chambered in the original 7.62x45 caliber. It’s still got some life left in it, the rifling is decent. I’m thinking about holding onto it in case I end up with another one of these rifles that needs some love and build it...

      Vz52 x39 conversion range report

      Here’s a vz52 I rebarreled to convert from 7.62x45 to 7.62x39. I’ve put some rounds through it and just figured I should give a little range report and comparison to an sks because... well why not? The rifle has no other changes than the barrel and I’m still using the x45 mag because the...

      16” or 18” 308 ar barrel

      I’ve been sitting on a dpms pattern ar 308 receiver and think I will finally start slapping it together. I’m aiming for something like a dmr, not quite a 1000 yard sub moa gun but still accurate at reasonable distances (Within 300 yard max). Compactness isn’t a goal with this one, I’ll be using...

      Rhineland arms .45acp

      Figured I’ll do a write up on the .45 acp Rhineland arms conversion for Mauser actions. I opted for the large ring kit with a military contour barrel. The chosen victim was a Czech vz24 Brazilian contract Mauser 98 in pretty rough shape, the original 7mm barrel looked like a sewer pipe even...

      Mosin project

      Not sure if I already posted about it, but here is a Chinese type 53 I inherited bubba’d, the stock was cut down and spray painted, also the bayonet lug was ground off. I took this opportunity to do a tasteful revamp of the gun and make a “tanker carbine” what if build. I cut the barrel to...

      Dillon 550 primer fix

      My Dillon 550 had a problem with the trap door that drops the spent primers sticking open. Did some reading and it seems to be a common complaint. My fix was to take a 1/4 oz stick on wheel weight and attach it to the upper portion of the trap door to give it enough weight to close reliably...

      “Transitional” carbines

      What would you call the style of rifle/carbine, generally Cold War era, semi auto, traditional wood stock and intermediate cartridge? Examples I can think of are the sks, rasheed and the vz-52/vz-52/57. Are there any other rifles that fit this profile? I’ve grown fond of them for some reason...

      Any mosin experts out there?

      I have a m91/30 that seems to be a run if the mill arsenal refurbished rifle dated 46. It is an Izhevsk, serial ta1963 and a 43 tang date. It appears unfired since the refurbishment. There are a few odd stamps on the upper portion of the tang and on the barrel. What does the “p” on the barrel...

      No.1 mk.III drill rifle

      Anyone know where I could find an enfield no.1 mk.III drill rifle or donor rifle with sewer pipe bore or something rendering it pretty well useless for anything but parts? I have a barreled receiver for one of the Ishapore .410 musket/shotguns that I would like to build out and just think it...

      Post 64 model 94 refinish

      Tomorrow I’m picking up a Winchester model 94 in 30-30. It was made in 1974 and has bluing worn down and suffers from surface rust. Mechacally it is nice, wood is decent and the bore is good. Long story short, it’s going to be a little project. I’ll grab pics once it’s in my hands tomorrow. I...

      Post 64 model 94 value

      I’m looking at a Winchester model 94 in 30-30 that a friend is selling. The serial puts it manufactured in 1974. The bluing might be about 70% with surface rust on the lower corners of the receiver. The wood is ok, rifling is strong and mechanically it is sound. It has an ugly scope mount that...

      Has anyone here picked up any of the commission 88 German rifles/carbines that hunters lodge has been advertising? They are going for just under $100 for the rifle and about $110 for the carbine if I remember right. They are advertised as project guns with broken/missing parts

      M1 garand bolt release

      I put together a garand from a drill rifle receiver, using all period correct usgi parts minus the gas plug and some springs. All the springs are either new old stock or reproductions to usgi specs. After getting it all together and function testing I’ve noticed that the bolt releases just as...
