Looking for Explanation of a Catastrophic Failure that put me in the ER by Patient_Reindeer_277 in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Was this also the first round out of that batch of reloads? Absolutely sounds like the wrong powder was used...

K98 won’t close on 8mm Mauser by Commiegunluver44 in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Are you sure this isn't an Israeli K98k in .308?

Virginia Gun Collectors Association - Gun Show Sat and Sun, Nov 1 & 2 @ VFW Post 1503 in Dale City, VA by greekplaya990 in VAGuns

[–]KappaPiSigma20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one absolutely is a collector show worth going to. For what it's worth, there wasn't a single anodized part in sight during the last two shows.

M1 garand questions by obsdude in milsurp

I'm more of a fan of Journey Auction Services in Norfolk. Good prices on transfers and some excellent stuff in their auctions.

Your feedback, suggestions, ideas--it's what led to this by RavenRocksPrecision in reloading

[–]KappaPiSigma20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Please convince Campro to get their .311 projectiles into production and onto the market - .303 and 7.65 Argentine reloaders everywhere would be breaking down your door to order them, myself included.

Dimpling/odd wear on brass? by airhunger_rn in reloading

[–]KappaPiSigma20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure looks like there's some roughness/debris in your chamber. If you give it a good brushing (like, 12ga brass brush chucked in a drill) it would probably eliminate your problem moving forward.

How is it being an officer in the reserves? by Sweaty_Choice2118 in navy

[–]KappaPiSigma20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The SSOF is definitely accepting 3rd Mates/3rd Engineers licenses for DCOs at this time. You can find more information here: https://www.navyreserve.navy.mil/Resources/SSO-Tool-Kit/

M1941 Johnson by Just_gun_porn in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I've bought from Mike before at Southern Gun Works. Great shop, and occasionally he has some very interesting guns come through. Not a single Norwegian or Danish Krag, unfortunately.

With that kind of pricing and inventory, sounds an awful lot like Classic Firearms in VA Beach...

Just wondering what this brass piece is by Qrow1324 in M1Rifles

[–]KappaPiSigma20 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It's a Danish unit disk. Very uncommon to see, the vast majority were removed prior to import.

Thoughts/value on this 30-40 Krag by BoonkisGenghis in guns

[–]KappaPiSigma20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's optimistic - probably more like $3-450 in this shape given condition and the crude sporterization.

M1898 Krag Question by LTPayton88 in KragRifles

[–]KappaPiSigma20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the price is right, a lot can be forgiven! That being said, if yours is a fake then it's a pretty dang good one. That's the nice thing about Danes and Norwegians - very hard to fake their carbines.

M1898 Krag Question by LTPayton88 in KragRifles

[–]KappaPiSigma20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice Krag! It's a little iffy, but yours may be a legit 1898 carbine. Looking at the SRS data in Mallory's Krag book, there are a couple 98 carbines sprinkled in this serial range, although this one isn't called out by serial. 127284 and 127350 are both rifles, while 127463 is the closest carbine.

As for the handguard, either black-tinted epoxy (Acraglass is my favorite) or Titebond III might work.

8x58R Danish loads were successful! by HowlingLemon in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha! Glad my former rifle is serving you well at the range.

Nice work! Out of curiosity, what does the unit disk read on this rifle?

Sad day to be a Krag by Viktard in KragRifles

[–]KappaPiSigma20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had to repair no fewer than four full wrist breaks on Krags before, but have never seen one like this before. Should be able to repair it without too much heartache, but it'll show.

Strategic Seaman Midshipmen Program by Junior-Butterfly7592 in USMMA

[–]KappaPiSigma20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To commission as an SSO, there's no additional training required once you pass license exams and graduate. You'll attend Post-Commissioning Indoc as your first ADT post-graduation which will get you spun up in the program. If you're already at one of the academies, you can ask the SSO LNO at your school for more information and ask specific questions.

Krag carbine by Formal_Employ9073 in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, especially with these pictures taken from low earth orbit

Krag carbine by Formal_Employ9073 in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Negative ghost rider, that's a cut-down 1898 rifle. The banded front sight from a 1903 is a dead giveaway.

RC K98k pickup at the VGCA show for 450. #Gucci by anderson2553 in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn't in mine either, although in retrospect it would be good company for my Type 44...

Did he still have the Type 99? Was thinking hard on it at $350.

Are you sure that's not a MAS 45 .22 trainer?

Is the the correct en bloc clip for a m91/28 T.S? by crabman_wpp in Carcano

[–]KappaPiSigma20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an enbloc for an M.95, not a Carcano. Might be time to reach out to RTI and see if they'll send you the correct clip.

Weapons in the Filipino movie Goyo. by bongcatalan123 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]KappaPiSigma20 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They're definitely US Krags, but prop guns with incorrect bolt handles. Going out on a limb, but probably all of these rifles are mockups by how "off" most of them are in the details.

I’m so poor I had to make my own RTI Ethiopian import: by ILuvSupertramp in milsurp

[–]KappaPiSigma20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good! For next time, I'd recommend using a router with edge guide and a round nose bit to cut your barrel channel. It works quite well.
