Anyone know what the current wait is on C&R licenses? Turning 21 on Sunday and thinking of sending in my $30... I don't have a Nugget yet.

>>14388223 (OP)
I'm thinking about getting a nugget. Is nugget ammo still easy to find, or has it disappeared along with everything else? Also, how long do you think until the surplus goes the way of .303?

It depends on the person.
I've heard people that got theirs in 2 weeks and I've heard of guys that took them a couple months or more.

Yeah, I think nuggetfood is still easy to find. I'm not that informed in that department.
>Also, how long do you think until the surplus goes the way of .303?
They made a shit ton of it, and it's being imported to this country unlike the .303 that was all dumped into the North Atlantic.
You can still find some surplus every now in then. This is some '51 FN .303 I picked up last summer.

Not quite.

AIM has surplus pretty cheap and I think prvi makes a loading that isn't too expensive.

>>14388315
I've been thinking about picking up a mauser. Gander Mountain has a bunch of Chilean mausers in .308, but to my understanding those are poorly converted and unsafe for commericla ammo.

It's the design of the Lee-Enfield chamber rather than anything unique about the .303. My Martini-Enfield has a very tight chamber the action will not close on a case fired through any of my Lee-Enfields. A case fired in the Martini will cycle through any of my Lee-Enfields, though.

I've got a K31 and just recently got a bayonet for it, Romanian M44 from 1957, and 91/30 from 1939.
I'm thinking after building a new AR, I'm going to buy either an FN49 or a Garand. A MAS 49/56 would be sick if I could get a .308 conversion.

Shit internet makes me hate life.

Left side of receiver is stamped No4Mk1 ROF (F) 6/43, pretty sure the bolt isn't matching the rifle though, and the butt stock is stamped 39 behind the trigger guard while the stock by the muzzle is stamped 6 43.

I don't want a gun that would be obsolete from ammo availability in the near future. I'm probably gonna send my K31 off to be rechambered for 308 after I run out of my GP11. I suppose I could always buy Prvi but it honestly doesn't even come close to the Swiss surplus.

Value I could care less about. It's a weapon I'll have for my entire life. .308 is similar enough to the 7.5 so I shouldnt have any feeding issues, chamber pressure issues, or mag feeding. If I got it done the right way from a good gunsmith this last one can be avoidable.

If you want a gun that is accurate and in .308, then buy a gun in .308. It'll be far cheaper and you know you won't turn the rifle into a boat anchor.

>>14389323

>>14389403
>That shitty reputation keeps prices down.
True.
>Which of the MAS-36 and 49/56 is lighter?
The 36. The 36 is actually pretty heavy compared to most mil-surps because of it's think barrel. It looks a lot lighter than it is.
My No.4Mk1 is lighter than it! Though my K-31 and K98 (obviously from the laminate stock) is heavier.

>>14389497
Really? According to gunbroker, a 49/56 goes for about $750 too, so it appears that I`m going for a 36, if I so choose.

>>14389529
Fuck no. Just saw one on Armslist for $500

>>14389529
The prices on gunbroker are all over the place.

If I can't find the other gun I could just sell the stock to someone else for $300 and make a small profit.

Of course this is all speculation as the guy hasn't even responded to me.

Yeah SAKO. Does it have the SAKO gear logo on the stock and are the bolt and floorplate matched to the serial number? (if all three are yes, then it is original matching)

BTW, do NOTHING to the stock finish as nothing more is necessary to preserve the wood on these rifles. (a frightening number of people don't realize this)

>>14390512
It has the gear logo, the bolt is matched to the serial number but not the floorplate. The floorplate looks like someone filed it down and stamped a new number to match it to whatever rifle it was originaly on

Almost all M/39's you'll find have mismatched floorplates, so it's not that big of a deal that it does match; the bolt and stock matching is more important. Soldiers and the arsenals just DGAF about keeping them with the same rifles it seems. Also M/39's were the only ones that had matching floorplates to my knowledge. (some wartime M/91's might have had them too, but I haven't taken note of one yet)

Probably imported in the late 90's most likely. The Finnish Army surplused the last of the M/39's around 2002 if I remember correctly. They used them for limited training until the mid 90's, and were still a standard issue weapon until the late 80's. I think the next largest batch of them that came int the country was in the 80's along with the last of the earlier models of Finnish made Mosins.

Then again, I'm getting kind of bored with it already and may just sell it at some point.

>>14391403
I know. I missed out.

>>14390825
I have good news: inaccurate revolvers can often be fixed by re-reaming the forcing cone. Even on wheelguns from real companies, the forcing cone can be cut slightly off-center, at a bad angle, or not deep enough. Cone reaming is one of the first steps a smith will do to accurize a revolver. A cone reamer costs about $50 at Brownell's or Midway, and it's dead simple to use.

Might not be worth it for a $100 gun, but the option is there.

>>14391050
Perhaps make a taller front sight leaf out of a blank.

You do know that the cartridge goes inside of the forcing cone on Nagants, right?

>>14391709
I know about the gas seal, but the bullet still needs a forcing cone or at least a bit of leade before it hits rifling. If it's shooting to one side, the bullet is either meeting or leaving the rifling in an asymmetrical fashion. Assuming the barrel isn't misaligned to the frame, of course.

What's the muzzle crown look like?

Isn't C&R basically a registration for your arms you buy through it? Isn't that bad?
How does /k/ justify that? Or do I just not understand C&R

>>14392074
C&R is an FFL for collecting.

>>14392074
You just have to keep the records in a bound book that if the ATF requests to see they can see. That is all. The chances of them asking to see it is slim to none.

>>14392102
I heard you have to keep a log of everything you buy with it though and the gov can show up anytime and demand to see it. Can you just lose the log book in a boating accident or will the gov know what you have.

>>14392115

It's also a good idea to keep records in the event that something gets lost or stolen.

>>14392115
The only time they'll ask to see em is if they suspect you're buying and selling for a profit or buying for other people from what I've heard.

I don't think anyone will come looking for a nagant revolver, but what if ping gets banned because of mag capacity etc?
Do I have the only copy of the log and how is that enforced?

>>14392135

For C&Rs, no. They call and schedule a date and time for you to swing by with the bound book and guns. That or they can do it at your home.

>>14392143

Well that's one time, but that's not the only time. Sometimes they will do just purely random inspections. Usually those are only to help train new employees on their procedures. Personally I've never had any interaction with them, of course I've only had mine for about 6 months now.

>>14392195
I Know someone who has had one for 9 years and never had a visit.

>>14392195
How do they know what you purchased if you have the log? I mean, what's stopping me from buying something and then just not recording it. They must be alerted when you use it?

>>14392175

If you were thinking about the P1, I'd just save up for a steel-framed P38. Otherwise I'd vote for the SKS, but I'm biased because I'm a slav, so take that with a grain of salt.

>>14392135

They can only inspect it once a year, but they almost never bother inspecting C&R's bound books because they kind of view it as a waste of time (because it is, who GAF if some guy owns a bunch of bolt guns).

At one point I had the money to buy an AMD-65, I went to Seattle instead for a concert and a baseball game. That was a great vacation but now I kinda regret it since the AMD was only 600 with shipping and taxes and now they are 1300 or more.

But at least I can still buy nuggets for relatively cheap. Here's my latest two. The brass top guard one is the beat to fuck nugget that was made in 1943, the rifling is pitted and the stock looks like it was in Stalingrad. The second I bought yesterday and the rifling is very strong, the bore is bright and shiny and the stock though dinged is in decent condition.

I paid 65 for the beat up one and 120 for the decent one but the latter came with all the goodies including the bayonet.

classic is actually pretty shit that way. They also like to spread FUD, scaring people into buying shit. They also pulled a mitchell on a few mausers back in the day as well.

Recently picked up a 1946 Turkish Mauser and 140 rounds of surplus for $175.
Pretty good bore, but a bit dirty. The damn handguard ring won't unscrew though, so I may just sell the rifle and pick up another.

Also got a 10/44 No.5MK1 ROF(F) Jungle Carbine, all matching (except magazine) for $225 from the same seller.
The bore looks as if it hasn't been shot.
Also got some surplus South African VII from him as well. $50 for 140 rounds.

Id never seen a seal so unmolester, with complete AA sights intact, metal in that good of shape...


However, I too wish I could find cheaper .303, as im about to get all the furniture parts to fix up my savage no4. Not cut down or anything, but it has ashitty monte carlo synthetic stock.

Ive read that Savage rifles had both the groved and plain handguards, so I guess it wont matter which I get. It DOES have the micro sight, which I hear is rare for a Savage.. I read that after about 15cxxx they drolped it, but mines an 18cxxx. Still dated in '42, though.

It's okay nuggy, I bet it shoots just as good as mine. Btw, how flared is the flash hider? Because it should be around an inch and a bit, but yours looks a little narrow from that picture.

>>14403030
>dat 3030
im not sure how flared it is, its a pretty decent size. and it shoots amazing, its pretty fucking smooth and the bore is in amazing shape thats why i dont feel bad about having payed a lot for it. im embarrassed to say how much i payed for it because i know its a ludicrous amount for a fake.

>>14403010
oh.... ;_;

Thats too much for one? That looked that good? The barrel didnt look cut down or anything, looked like it just needed the original clothes...

They also had an Enfield M1917 in there... Oh, lawdy those are sex, it felt heavier than I expected, but it just felt... I donno.
They wanted way too much, ithink... It looked new, but with bayonet it cost 1,119 bucks.

I want a 1903A3 pretty bad, though. That way it will match my bro's Garand when he gets it. Too bad they cost so much.

An untouched mum doesn't make it that much more valuable. It just makes it more appealing to the eye.
I bought my Series 21 from Cabela's with it's original stock and untouched mum for about $240. Though, they wanted $290 for it.
It didn't have it's AA sights, monopod, dust cover and cleaning though, but that's typical.

>>14403152
Type 99s are fucking everywhere in original condition. And it's not just a matter of finding another stock as every manufacturer was a little bit different, even among it's own production you can have several different variations.

The "last ditch" ones have the most variations of them all. Some can be pretty rare. Like the ones that used a rope for a sling and just had a hole drilled into the buttstock for the rope.

That looks like someone built it in a cave with a box of scraps.

Why you say that?

Lol, but check out the casting of the front sight.

My nugget looks better built than that.
oh god lol

I still laugh when I look at early production T-34s.

>>14408353
I doubt that. It's just a cosmetic feature, nothing more. The gun is very well built and designed.

As long as it's not one of those converted 308 pieces of shit.

I don't buy converted guns. The converted MAS-49/56s are worse than most conversions and should be avoided like the plague.

I lol that there are a ton of them on armslist and all claim they work "flawlessly" or "perfectly." They wouldn't be selling them if that was the case, lol.

Is that the Semi auto or the bolt action MAS?

>>14408794
Semi-auto. MAS-36 is bolt action. MAS-40, 44, 49 and 49/56 are semi autos and are all basically the same gun.

Here's that picture I owed you.

I tried to throw this evil French rifle away, but it wouldn't fit in my trash can.

It even has a grenade launcher, and the baby-seeking bayonet. Mrs. Feinstein said we don't need assault guns like this. Americans don't need grenade launchers. Ban them.
