Same back to you Karl!

Interesting

Is it worth the effort to maybe bore these rifles out to a new caliber then neck sizing with a forming die . Say bore these to 8mm and then have a new rifle all together.. 8x54r I would think these rifles are not worth the effort. Paying less than a hundred dollars for a rifle and then spending 2 or 3 hundred to have it bored out to a bigger caliber might be a waste of time but it would certainly improve the accuracy. I know that this practice was done quite a bit back in the days when the flint locks were still being used.. Shoot till it won't shoot then have it bored to a bigger caliber and keep on shooting.

Neat rifle fritz! I think you should put it up on the fighting words page as the header picture.

Both are great sites.

The B in a circle is a Bulgarian mark on the receiver.

The "B" is a Belgian Liege mfg. barrel that the Finns contracted to make for rebuilding their worn out m/91s. Its a great find and should be a good shooter.

Sounds like that black grease the Finns used that almost turned to rock when it dried. If you keep scrubbing it will come out, but it is very hard to get out.

Here is ATF's list of what is and what is not. A good one for the favorites:

Did you get that bore clean or was it rutty?

I think his last edition of that book is the cleaned up version.

LOL

More Army guys less marines!

...but Lynn..... say nothing about the marine comments..... please

I hate to say it ....but I agree with Fritz

The dark bore may not be dark at all. The finns used some strange black grease on these bores. It is VERY hard to remove and sometimes is mistaken as rust. More likey than not the bore is new under that rock hard black grease.

Very nice find and a very nice gun.

Ty was probably constipated. A good Joe in my opinion!

The Rev. knows what he is talking about. If we move out of Iraq, some speculate there may be a blood bath of this terrorist minority, but it would be a short lived one. We have killed so many terrorists there they are now importing them for distant lands. Things over there are not what the media is making it out to be.

Thanks Rev.!

Make sure the receiver screws are tight.

I have an M38, and a 91/30. I was dissapointed with their accuracy. I tried some silver bear ammo in my M38, and it loves it. I have a red dot scope on a Darrels scout mount on it. I have carried it deer hunting with wolf 200gr softpoints. I shot 3 100yard groups about 1 1/2 inches with silver bear, best yet. The red dot is a bit large for hair splitting precision, but it sure is cool. I love this little carbine. Now I just need to see if my shotgun 91/30 likes this ammo, sure hope so. Thanks  Keith

With Marines and sheep you eventually get Marine Generals.

When Karl says the Marines will have to barrow some from the Army he means steal them.....the Corps is like a bunch of thieves from Bagdad.

Mine is the m/91 and m/39. What is yours?

There was one in my SF scuba school class too.

They forgot to tell that to Anglaco and Force Recon. They had to go to an Army school for that.

It appears there needs to be a block of instruction on the proper PLF here. Now let me remember back to my jumpmaster class. Toes pointed down with a slight bend to the kness, facing the horizon. Upon impact the jumper will roll to the appropriate side of his body facing the fall. He will then roll to his calves, thighs, hips, pushup muscle of his back thus taking up the impact of the landing.

What is most interesting is that the press gives this little bunch of people who are protesting with Cindy so much air time without discussing Cindy's background. This is a case of more press bias. It has been pointed out on just a couple of media outlets that Cindy divorced her first husband and left her son with him to be raised while she became a political activist for the Democrat Party She had very little to do with her son in his growing years. She remarried. The 1st husband remarried. The original father raised the son with his new wife. They miss their son and mourn the loss of his life. They have stated that they are very proud of their son and that they agree with the stance of America/Iraq and on terror. They said that their son was eager to serve and to go fight the terrorists in Iraq. He volunteered. How many news stations carried their interview? Not many. So

the son dies in Iraq and then Cindy shows up to make a Stink. She gets an audience with Bush. That was not enough. She goes to Crawford and demands another audience. How many news stations carry the ongoing saga of Cindy? Practically all of them. Cindy didn't care about her

son. She let another woman raise him.

Cindy doesn't care about the other soldiers in Iraq. Cindy cares about her liberal, feminist agenda and about using the death of her son to lobby against Republicans and Bush. And the press is helping her. Why?

Then 2 days ago, Cindy's 2nd husband filed for a divorce from Cindy. Cindy sounds like a feminist opportunist who did not have the sense of responsibility to even raise her own son. It looks like her 2nd husband is fed up with Cindy. We middle Americans should be fed up with Cindy also.
