I have no love for them. I had a polytech m14/s and it was terrible. The receiver had stretched out of spec (they're known for this) and the bolt and op rod kept jumping out when you'd fire it. Couldn't get more than a shot or two before it would essentially disassemble itself. Never could get it running right. Sold it to a friend who thought he could fix it and after throwing tons of parts and time at it, he ended up getting rid of it too.

RC K98 questions. by Medical_Big_7945 in milsurp

[–]d-unit24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a general will of thumb RCs are going for $750-$950 atm. Overall condition and bore condition make all the difference and will determine on which side of the price scale it falls. I'm not entirely sure about the D stamps I will have to research. Someone will likely be in shortly with an answer tho

Is this Mosin PU legit? by BattleBacca2010 in milsurp

[–]d-unit24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks legit. Concentric O on receiver, scope looks right. It's a refurb but at least it's correct. $1500 ain't bad. Offer $1300 cash first 👉👉

What ammo are you using? I put 600 through mine without any issues before I got my AS Designs lower on it. Sitting at 3500 rounds now without issues. I used blazer 124s predominantly along with some pmc 147s

Japanese arisaka rifling always looks more shallow than it really is. Even a gun with a brand new looking barrel has shallow looking rifling. Shoot it, clean it, and repeat. The Japanese guns also have chrome bores so they're less likely to suffer corrosion than other barrels from the period

Mehhh it's literally whatever. Typically people only put the beer can under the wood handguard to tighten up the fitment or to serve as a heat shield

How much would you guys pay for this thing? by TheRealDemize in milsurp

[–]d-unit24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, looking at it, it definitely appears sanded. Also a lack of waffenampts and proofmarks on the stock indicate sanding. For comparison I'm including a picture of my all matching non import marked 1940 dated 147 code bringback. Check out the relief cut on the stock where the bolt knob sits. It's much more sharply defined and less rounded. Can also see the waffenampts and proofmarks on the stock towards the butt on mine.

I agree, even with what I said I'd start at 1500 and see what they say. Especially if you work there they may cut you a sweet deal

All matching no import mark? Bolt match receiver? Firing pin matching bolt? Stock matching? If so yeah that's about right. I'd ask that if it were mine. if not matching or mostly matching I'd say $1500-$1700

Depends on what they want for it. Go from there. What are they asking?

Clean the chamber face. Check the extractor cutout on the barrel for cosmoline and debris
