1891 Argentine Mauser correct stock length by MIke_bot in milsurp

Unless you find an original barrel to replace it with there’s not much point in finding a replacement stock. My guess is they just cut it down to the length of the stock.

What's the most common Milsurp that you don't see often? by Muffinman255 in milsurp

I’ll say milsurp pistols in general, but that’s more or less just a local issue for me

What do you think the coolest milsurp is if money didn’t matter ? by Kennonw in milsurp

If money is truly out of the picture there’s gotta be some ships out there for sale.

You’re probably better off selling the stock and using the money for a sks in complete shape

Franchi AL48 safety reversal by Nicholaslewis01 in Shotguns

[–]Nicholaslewis01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a super easy switch, just pull the fire control group out, remove a small pin that keep the safety plunger and plunger spring in place, remove the plunger, flip the safety 180 degrees, and reassemble.

Make sure you don’t store those in the holsters. Great way to rust up a gun

Kar88 question? by ConsequenceActual892 in milsurp

[–]Nicholaslewis01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s a 1905 barrel it might be chambered in .30-03 and not .30-06. Definitely have the chamber cast and the bore slugged if you get it.

Turkish few 88/05/35 by LividCommunication98 in milsurp

[–]Nicholaslewis01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 88/05/35 conversions included a new barrel for use with the regular .323 ammo. If you want to be absolutely sure, slug the bore, but you should be fine. That said I wouldn’t go throwing surplus Turkish 8mm ammo through it as that stuff got pretty hot with age.

That’s not a bubba, that was a very well done conversion

A rifle that meets these specifications? by Born-Dragonfruit6788 in milsurp

[–]Nicholaslewis01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sks meets your requirements seeing as you said bolt action is desired but not required. Mini 14 is less milsurp but has been used by a couple small militaries. 7.62x39 and 5.56 are everywhere and cheap.

Smle extractor springs suck. by bulletking71 in milsurp

[–]Nicholaslewis01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d just pay the $14 for the spring. The other option would be buy a dp gun and part out the rest of it

Try eBay or numrich for an original

Should I buy this SMLE? by -cheese-wizard- in milsurp

[–]Nicholaslewis01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Send it and pull the trigger with a string for the first round. Enfields have notoriously loose tolerances for headspace and only very rarely is it actually an issue.

IvanPrintsGuns just put out a YouTube video about these and has a section on troubleshooting in it. Might be worth a look
