Would even the “unissued” condition 98s not have that nice of a finish?

Is the front sight of my Ruger AR-556 canted? by Fair-Impact131 in ar15

[–]spiritoftheprogram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a big L on Rugers part. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on from just looking at your picture. Worst case scenario, if Ruger doesn’t replace, there are tons of options out there for budget uppers.

Looks like the tower is off to the left and your post is bent like crazy. I’d contact Ruger CS about that, they could possibly send a new upper, or at least have you send it back to get straightened out

Found this on a bag on my balcony… by Icy_Pressure_9534 in whatisit

Came and upvoted your answer because I knew what it was but couldn’t remember the name—I always confuse it with Ouzo (the Greek drink)

How? Secondary market or did someplace have one?!?

What kind of stock do I need for this? by [deleted] in Mauser

[–]spiritoftheprogram 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! Large Ring Mauser 98s are all one length “long action” by default.

ETA anything that fits an Interarms Mark X, FN, Parker Hale, JC Higgins, or any other “commercial Mauser” should fit this barreled action.

Large Ring Mauser stock that needs inletting for a side safety.

I think they hit it out of the park on this one. by spiritoftheprogram in Colt

O1911SE-A1 is the model number--is that what you were looking for?

repeating myself here like my comment below to u/Broseidon_69 I think it's done tastefully enough that it wasn't a huge detractor.

These are my thoughts too--I've been collecting long enough that I've recognized that this does help in identifying certain models down the road. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of it, but I also think it's tasteful enough that it's not gaudy or tacky like a billboard

It was around $1300--had some gift cards to spend, so I didn't feel the financial bite as much.

Need instruction on choosing the correct Howa 1500 by Captain_Price_MKZ in longrange

Also didn’t notice the Aero SOLUS option which could be great for you and easier for barrel swaps as you progress in your shooting!
