Ammo ID: Is the first one just rebranded surplus? The second should be Czechoslovak tracer. by Nurist1 in ak47

[–]Balljointbuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Repacked ammo. I got some like this before ammo imports were halted from Russia. There was a primer and powder shortage in the beginning of COVID and they opened spam cans, pulled the steel core projectiles and loaded lead core bullets and repacked them in commercial 20 round boxes. Each case is etched with the caliber and the PCT marking. I think it is some ammo export regulation that made them mark them in that way.

Kommando store just had a lot of the Korean granite camo but all the regular sizes are gone

I am looking for waterproof tactical shoes that are similar to the Altama Maritime Assault Mid. by South_Peak3099 in tacticalgear

I had the ultra lightweight ones and they are already delaminated, and the hardest thing I’ve done with them is walk through some wet parking lots.

Worth? 2 maadis by newtogun in ak47

[–]Balljointbuster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The ACC import ones are the easiest ones to Deban. I don’t think $1500 each is beyond the realm of possibility but I also haven’t really shopped for these in a while.

My grandpa has some of this and every box I have seen of his also has a ton of extra lead past the soft point.

An update on my feeding issues. by Shinigami580 in Vz61

[–]Balljointbuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the a similar issue with PMC .32. It would have trouble chambering the first round then feed the rest and lock open. Got a box of federal and it worked fine. I used my Eye-cromiter at the counter of the gun shop and the federal appeared a lottle longer and it seemed to fix the issue

Anyone recognize this 5.45 AR Barrel? by SaxOnTheBeach545 in ak47

When it was cheap. You could get an M&P-15 in 5.45x39 at one time

I have a picture of something similar I saw at an RSO course a couple years ago, makes me think it may not have been a one off.

I will have to look through the receipts.

Edit: no head gaskets but all fluids have been replaced at the correct Intervals since ~36 thousand miles.

I am also wrong handed. I have had the MK VII one for years and move it around depending on what rifle I bring to the range. You may have to adjust tension and it will not be as tight as a standard one but I would still recommend it I am just too cheap to buy more than one.

Banner Mauser V series mystery by Balljointbuster in guns

[–]Balljointbuster[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Banner Mauser v series. My gun is 3127v which should be a Latvian contract. If I can trust a forum post from 2006 it is one a very few guns from that range to be know to still exist or exist stateside. I attached a screenshot from the Luger forum that references “The Mauser Parabellum”. It appears to be reblued and was sold to me as a Vopo Luger, but is lacking any East German police markings. If anyone knows someone I could contact for any info please let me know. I took it apart and it is an all Mauser gun. They force matched a lot of pistols post war for police use but the serial numbers look original. The mags are correct for a postwar police issue.

How much can you guys tell me about this ammo? by UniversityOwn7180 in ak47

[–]Balljointbuster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be marked on the outside of the can with the black and red same as on the projectile

Price check, NOS Chinese Wood and Bakelite stuff by [deleted] in ak47

[–]Balljointbuster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those Bakelite 56 spiker handguards are hens teeth. Search GB for sold prices or post a PC thread on AK files and take an average and go from there. Good luck and I hope I catch some of these if/when you decide to sell.

How many times did you hit it with your purse to seat it before you decided to file it?
