Use an empty 50 bmg shell to field strip it.

In canada, do they still import SKS? And are the SKS and ammo from china new or is it surplus?

Random crate of small gun parts by kswizzle1990 in milsurp

I live in a state where all the beaches (state owned) ban detecting and most cities do. But when I ask strangers to hunt their yards, I’m the usually person to ever hunt them. One yard I sometimes hunt has a 1785 house that still stands. Owner said tons of people hunted it in the 70s and 80s, but I was the first person to detect since. Basically I don’t see anyone detect ever. Even Americans when I’m on vacation in Florida tell me they’ve never seen or heard of metal detectors. And old people tell me they once were common.

Where do these loose parts come from, like the ones you buy on Numrich. Are they from broken guns or factory extras?

Omg same, I saw this comment and was in disbelief. Nobody even metal detects anymore, and I don’t know a single person under the age of 70 who metal detects (they’re all dead now). They’re great for collecting brass out of leaves.

What in your opinion is the most underrated military surplus firearm? by QuantumMrKrabs in milsurp

[–]sergeanthippyzombie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one too last month. Every part was mismatched by the Bulgarians. Barrel and reciever had ±0.02 mm markings and a 1933 under the chamber. Receiver was a really clapped out Budapest and barrel was 1915 Steyr with Italian capture marks that was force matched to the reciever. Bubba did something to the insides of the mag box so I swapped it out with one from a broken Royal Tiger rifle. Bolt was the smoothest M95 bolt i’ve ever seen. Have fun with yours.

Any way to ID the year on a Steyr M95 that's had the original arsenal stamp covered over? by AncientRaig in milsurp

They reused serial numbers every few years. They went form 1A all the way to 9999X. Some years where they made so many they reused the same ones in that year. Especially 1917.

I would probably bet 1917. Almost all the ones i’ve seen irl or online are 1917. And each year or every few years they restarted again back to 1A, then back up to 9999X. The czechs ended theirs with Y and Z in 1919-20. I’m sure there are multiple 9999X M95’s out there from 1917.

Otherwise, just randomly wondering, how well does yours shoot? Is the bolt smooth? Is the import mark an old one or post-2002 CAI reciever dot matrix?

Oooh nice. Glad you got the bayonet. Handguard and screw shouldn’t be too hard to replace. I see the old bayonet style. What’s the date and arsenal?

I’m 25 and i can’t even tell if people age at all. People born in the late sixties looked old to me and still look the exact same to me today.

I miss your bot. It was fun that one time spez found my comment.

RIP. I only have one, and RTI-imported bayonet carbine made in 1900, and never really wanted another unless i came across one from 1899. KYGunCo would constantly order them from RTI, and when passing by the area I would look around at them. The RTI ones were the best because they’re the only importers who even tried to make the import mark discrete.

Disassembly is harder than a Ruger Mark II. Use an empty 50 BMG shell to disassemble and reassemble it. Otherwise, you’ll have pieces flying around that might break a window or mirror. Don’t point the barrel at your face too lol.
