I'll throw in the rest of the set I uploaded recently. Pictures of a 1916 Enfield SMLE Mk. III (was semi-sporterized, missing front furniture, safety does not work, pitting on the receiver), 1942 Lithgow SMLE Mk. III, and a 1936 MAS:

My 98k before I took off the Iron-Elite mount that worked until I got home, where it became loose:

nice pics, does that Iron Elite mount work well?

 

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

nice pics, does that Iron Elite mount work well?

Yes and no. I was finally getting it sighted in onto the target and was grouping where I wanted it to, but by that time my 98's barrel was too warm and the bore no longer clean. My groupings went to hell as a result. When I got home, the iron-elite mount became loose, which pretty much made the whole attempt at sighting it in for null. : /

 

[Manstein]

that ****s :/

 

[necropimp]

my RC K98k came in today

byf 43

and i also ordered this little plinker with the K98k

 

[BuddyLee]

Have you tried Locktite on the threads?

 

[Capt.Marion]

yeah, that might work. It won't react to the heat, either, as Its used all the time for stripped sparkplugs in engines...

 

[Dr. Peter Venkman]

Have you tried Locktite on the threads?

No I didn't. I'm not going to put it back on either; the rings for the scope didn't hold it in place (no matter how hard I tightened them) and they were actually digging into my scope, shearing the metal in the process. On top of that, the little screw that goes down and touches the receiver, that ended up scratching it up where it touched.

 

[Manstein]

ugh, that doesn't sound so good :/

 

[necropimp]

i was doing some quick cleaning of the air rifle (see last post) went to close it up and my hand slipped

this is how it looks now after a night at work with a bandaid on it

 

[Manstein]

ouch :S

My Bulgarian M95 came in today, I'll try to get some pics tonight

 

[Capt.Marion]

neato, can't wait to see it!
