Milsurp Thread!

Well, duh! Only 9 to go. Surely you can think of something entertaining or artsy to say somewhere on this forum. Post away; then advertise something good and cheap.

Yes, I have an ad or three on armslist. I have a small collection of weird items I've picked up over the years. I need to get rid of some (20 or so) so that I have room for more. I have WW1 and WW2 foreign military rifles, and a few pre WW1 rifles.
I tried to post some on here, but I'm too new to post ads.

Ah, I sent you and email the other day via your ad. Ya see, I have this thing for Swedish Mausers...

I'm sorry if I didn't get back to you on the ad for the Steyrs. I had posted quite a few ads and got no responses, then got way more than I could ever reply to. I also am afraid I had some over priced, due to a hundred low ball offers. I still have 2 Steyrs left if your interested let me know. I still have about 20 rifles that need to go, as I am out of room and can't hunt for anymore until I have room.

I also have a Steyr dated 1899, an M1892 6x53 with Porteguse markings. I don't know about it's value but it's the only one I've ever seen and there isn't much info about it on the internet. All I have found is some 10+ year old posts about some really rare M1892's in europe and it might be an experimental Dutch cartridge?
The M1892 is the bottom one in the pic. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Here's a pic of some Arisakas.

Oh you responded and thanks! Some of the rifles I'm just not really familiar with. There's a few guys on the forum who are really into the surplus rifles but a lot of the time tend to focus on one (or three) particular types. We're trying hard to get a C&R\military surplus section on the forum so we can corral off those types of discussions to the people that enjoy them. Hopefully some of the others will be along to provide their input.

Have you been out to some of the other forums such as gunboards and surplusrifle.com? They are broke down into specific sections so you can post pics and discuss. At any rate, welcome to OSA!

Heres some more Arisakas with some SKS's. The 4th one from the right is an Albainian SKS.

I'm sure that some of these are milsurp type parts... you guys have any ideas?

Shot my best score-target (100-8x) and best score (298-14x) at TriCity this Saturday with unmodified 1910 CG M96, despite miserable face wind.
Lapua Brass, CCI LR primer, 44.0 IMR4350, 123 gn A-MAX

BTW, GREAT shooting Andre! Was that in a match or just some solo benchrest shootin' ?

The rear sights with the wings are for Jap Arisakas. The extra wings fold out to help you lead the plane. They are not available anywhere. I've been looking for a set for years. If you want to get rid of them let me know please. The sights are fairly common, it's the wings that can't be found, they break easily.
As for turning rust back into metal, try this (don't laugh, it really works) coat them in a thin layer of peanut butter overnight. wipe them off and be amazed.

One more pic of a few assorted rifles before I hit the hay. I will try to post some individual pics tomorrow with details of each.
