  1. The Military Mauser Forum
    First off, let me start by saying that I have gone through Robert Ball's book "Mauser Military Rifles of the World" and can not find one instance where FN of Belgium made a Rifle that even looks like this. So, that being said what I found the other day is what appears to be a 1895 Calvary...
  2. The Military Mauser Forum
    I have a 1944 k.kale turk Mauser. But I cant find a single one like it. It's carbine length with a bent down bolt. Thank you for any info. And also the bolt is stamped V if that means anything.
  3. The Collector's Forum - Mosin Nagant HQ
    While waiting for my paperwork to go through on my 1921 Mosin this weekend, this Chinese Type 53 caught my eye. It’s numbers-matching and the stock is really nice. The only significant imperfection is the large chip out of the upper handguard (can be seen in third image). The pawn shop wanted...
  4. Swedish Military Firearms Forum
    Saw this one in my friend's safe over the weekend and was able to convince him its just bubba'ed AG42, still I had to trade 2 RC K98s for it. It turns out this AG has a wealth of unique features, and whoever made it put in lots of thoughts and effort. In this post I will try to cover all the...
  5. Italian Firearms Forum
    Anyone by chance have an original blued band screw for a m91/38 carcano cavalry carbine? I only need the screw to finish a non import matching rifle. There's a guy selling really good quality reproes but I'm looking for an original part. Checked all the usual places but no one seems to have. Any...
  6. French Firearms Board
    Dear friends, I found a weird St. Etienne Berthier M16 Carbine. It seems to be a legit M16 Carbine. The stock is very beaten up and has various "arsenal" repairs, no roundel. The barrel is a Chattelerault 1931 replacement, N marked. So much for dating. The bolt is mismatched. What wonders me is...
  7. Krag rifles of Norway, Denmark & U.S.A.
    Hi all, I recently picked this rifle up at auction and wanted to know if there's any way(s) to determine its lineage. Particularly, if this is a school rifle or a home conversion. I've read a few posts on hear that mention that serial numbers for these rifles are inconsistent, making a year of...
  8. Italian Firearms Forum
    Would like as much info as you can provide. I believe I have a Carcano M9138 cavalry rifle or carbine? 6.5 caliber SF6544 942-xx. Thanks!
  9. The Military Mauser Forum
    Have the opportunity to save and remilitarize a semi-sporterized one that only appears to need a new stock, front band, and sight. No drill and tap done to the receiver. Good bore and visible crest. I noticed though it’s the bolt-down carbine version of the already short FN 1930 Short Rifle...
  10. Firearms Of The Rising Sun
    I was at a garage sale and a guy had this in a box. The bore is .255" ish, and the barrel is defiantly carbine length. There are a bunch of parts also, and he said they were from this rifle and another. Any ID help of what this thing is would be very appreciated. Also what parts go to this thing...
  11. Krag rifles of Norway, Denmark & U.S.A.
    Hi all, I've been doing some research to learn about this M1898 Krag I inherited from my great-grandfather & figured I would post it here. My grandfather told me he purchased it in 1929 for $2 and it included 100rds of cupronickel roundnose surplus. It was his only rifle other than a .22lr. This...
  12. "The American Arsenal" US Weapons - Past & Present
    I posted this over on the milsurp board but haven't gotten any bites yet. I know the stock is not USGI. I postulated maybe rebuilt while the rifle was in the MAP program on loan to a foreign country. I am trying to ID where the beech wood stock came from. I have linked the milsurps post which...
