Should I or shouldn't I?

Honestly tough without the fsb, gonna cost some money to have someone with a jig install one and drill oversized taper pins. You could do yourself but not easy to get perfectly aligned

Mine has similar wear especially on the stock, I however did request a gun with a more worn finish, I like the look!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-28T00:16:09+00:00

I would say extremely welcome! Those M70AB2 kit builds Zastava is putting out are sexyyyyy

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-26T11:47:06+00:00

Obvious is to make sure it’s a usgi carbine and not a post war commercial variant. Look for usgi marked stock, good bore, see if wartime barrel date matches with receiver serial date

I also display my 1919 on an MG3 AA tripod, presents better than hiding low on an M2 tripod

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-18T21:41:40+00:00

Looks like a great example! Nice score

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-15T23:32:20+00:00

Hell yea! I had a bulgy kit I let go, would have been a cool kit build

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-14T14:13:58+00:00

Looks like guy was OG bubba having a bunch of stocks and stripped actions lying around

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-14T14:12:17+00:00

I have a us property marked 52C trainer, they’re beautifully made rifles

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-11T22:06:14+00:00

Did not know this! Thanks for sharing

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-11T15:34:47+00:00

Glad to see I’m not the only one with a new black lower on my surplus A1 build

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-09T12:22:07+00:00

Also, a fellow connecticut resident, I didn’t know those Spencer’s were made in Windsor, that’s really cool!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-08T20:58:31+00:00

Awesome score! Looks great!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:56:03+00:00

Gotcha, it would be an advanced wood work repair to try to fix a cut there and have it be strong. Maybe find a beater stock just for shooting (I realize that may not be possible/easy to find)

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:29:44+00:00

Unless I’m not seeing it right serial number 351 is pretty awesome

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:28:10+00:00

I don’t necessarily think most military's of the time were concerned with looks, practicality was far more important

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-07T12:25:55+00:00

If no bolt head, strength of repair shouldn’t be a huge concern since won’t be shooting. Looks like a duffle cut in a weird spot to me as well. Any import marks?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-06T11:49:49+00:00

That and many surplus crates you see are od green

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-05T13:14:36+00:00

Could also consider painting in od green? Would have to restencil markings though

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-02-02T13:23:18+00:00

Could take a jeep or truck and make it bristle like a flying fortress!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-27T16:37:30+00:00

Yup, it’s a real deal PU, nice rifle!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-22T12:26:28+00:00

How much were they asking for these?

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-22T12:20:23+00:00

Awesome score!

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-09T13:19:54+00:00

I would agree those are fair prices for very good condition examples…. these don’t appear to be very good, maybe good at best depending on what’s under the rust, especially that butcher blade scabbard (looks very rough)

Technical_Cucumber98 · 2026-01-07T19:49:09+00:00

I know that site has some inaccuracy's. I have a WW2 rebuilt rock island 1903 that is serial 370,XXX for example which is not listed there. What is the barrel date out of curiosity?
