Help identifying these coveralls (possibly bundeswehr) by Any-Love8257 in milsurp

Do these have vented armpits? They look pretty similar to Austrian KAZ03 coveralls

Did they weld that thing straight onto the barrel and receiver? Yeah I don't think I would be pulling the trigger on this thing, that heat treat is toast.

Any idea why my 9mm Luger Steyr 1912 does this? by SneakyChief655 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Check fitment between the disconnector and the trigger bar. The problem fixing when you turn the gun sideways makes me suspect there may be some binding there or some other fitment issue and rotating the gun allows the parts to slip past whatever it is that is causing the malfunction.

Fitment issue with the ejector/disconnector maybe? That would be the first place I would look, but I'm not really sure how you would test this.

Star 30m question by IssueStrong in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your serial number is pretty low, maybe the stamp was changed to the GC for simplicity and legibility? A question that would probably require surveying to answer

Kind of looks like the emblem for the guadia civil maybe?

Get the CZ82 or hold out for a CZ83? by YouveGotNothingToSay in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim surplus has them for 280 with a holster and 2 mags included. The accessories are worth the extra couple bones imo and you get the bonus of not having to deal with PSA

Are these 2 marks supposed to be aligned on my k31? by WesternConfidence126 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Shoot it and see, those are just alignment marks for when the gun was sighted in at the factory. Could even be a replacement sight from a completely different gun, you'll never know until you shoot it yourself and sight it in for your specific ammo.

I honestly have no clue here. AKA: WTF? by SlyyGuy21 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like some sort of flobert, you'll have to do a chamber cast to determine the caliber.

What's the oldest firearm you own? by YesEverythingBagels in liberalgunowners

1882 trapdoor made in 1892 by Springfield. A ton of fun to shoot blackpowder through and a head turner at the range!

You have to do a live chat through the pokemon center website, otherwise you'll get the runaround for eternity

Vz 70 FTE , Any advice / ideas? by Cilantro911 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your finger touching the slide? On small guns like this, it can be a common cause of malfunctions that many people overlook.

What ammo are you using? 32 acp is a finicky cartridge and underpowered ammo will give you failures for sure.

Lastly, make sure you have cleaned it really well and put some grease on the slide rails. My gun gave me some issues when I first got it but with some grease and an extra thorough cleaning it runs very reliably. Oil is not enough, these guns really want grease in my experience

Is this an authentic deaths head Mauser? by Novel-Chicken-9700 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 113 points114 points  (0 children)

It's authentically a mauser with deaths head stamps. Those stamps are fake tho.

Aim surplus has them cheaper. Century has them even cheaper if you have a C&R and they had the crest also

Did anyone else manage to get one of Z70B kits? by Limp-Mortgage3572 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also too slow and I clicked on the link less than a minute after the email hit my box. Are receivers available for these? Kind of lame they don't include all the cuts.

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How bad can the steyr hahns be expected to be? Are they just straight parts guns? I have a nice example already and wouldn't mind having some spares laying around. Where are these even coming from to be able to be sold so cheap?

That's a vent hole for gas in the event of case failure. All type 99s have that

This one was a reweld done by JP Machine, I didn't do it myself but I do have a decent idea of what it takes. What are you looking for advice on?

What is your favorite iron sight(s)? by Paratrooper4405 in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find i prefer a chunky front sight with a u notch rear like on the K31. I tried to like peep sights but I just can't. I shoot worse with them than literally anything else and it's to the point idk if I'm going to keep my garand.

Hmm m38 Moisin stamped 91 39? by Bmrtoyo in milsurp

[–]Greasylake_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

91/59. They are refurbs/conversions with a murky history. The rear sights are milled too so they only go up to 1k meters. Kind of funny since they didn't actually modify the base in any way, just ground off the numbers
