I'll Show You Mine If You'll Show Me Yours (Part Deux)

Is that electrolytic cleaning process supposed to leave pits in the barrel? Sounds a bit scary. I'll stick to windex and hoppes 9 for my corrosive shooters.

after my experiance even the best bores of old rifles have pits, its because of crap that hasnt been fully cleaned out the bore for like 40+ years, thus having a lil bit of rust under that thin liner of dirt
but those will be filled again by tombak like they have been filled before, just dont shoot corrosive ammo right after cleaning the rifle

the spread is around 1cm smaller than it was before, and i notice triggerfaults ect a bit more

it rly shoots great, and if i shoot good the rifle now has around 4cm of spread @ 130m (with self loaded ammo)

the cleaning method wont open up new dents, it will just reopen the old ones

Do you still have the box the ammo came in? I'd like a pic of it too, along with the head stamp please. I don't want to blow up my Tokarev.

i had about 16 rnds left from a box i bought a couple years ago. it was surplus stuff, i dont know which bullet blew though.
the slide is fine, the frame is fine, just a piece of the barrel blew off, right side of the chamber opposite the extractor slot.
i think there are a few metal abrasions on the slide, but i can sand them out.
and i didnt even know it was broken till i disassembled it after it failed to cycle.
the rollers and roller lock look fine. just need a new barrel. anyone have any feedback on the 9mm conversions?
i've read that these guns were built for using the sub-gun ammo in mind, thats why the czech m48 round is 20% more voracious than the reg soviet stuff. well, i'll try to get a military barrel now, so much for having an all parts matching pistol (mine was made in 53 at CZ and was decocker tested). damn.

oh... hope u didnt hurt urself...

ive had some pretty bad experiance with those cz pistols

one had a faulty saftey
when the hammer was released ( saftey) it still hit the primer a bit, and thus setting it off accidently
thank god i had the pistol pointed downwards and pointing to the target
then once a extractor broke, once the whole back part of it flew away

that was with various CZ pistols of a friend of mine...

they were perfectly maintained, and didnt have any seeable faults

I just realized my 91/30 has one of those /53 MO marks on it. What gives?

Former NKVD rifle. My M44 has the same marking, same year even.

Apparently web designer there doesn't know that Schmeiser did not have anything to do with the MP38 or MP40. It was a nick name that was given to the gun in error by the allies.

It's funny how mistakes like that live on forever. Call me a revisionist I guess.

I just pissed my pants. 362 times.

That really is an impressive collection. Shame that, that Suomi M-31 has been mutilated really brutally.

My new Romanian RPK

Cool!

Now convert it to this.

That's what I was going to do, but AIM ran out of rifles before I got the funds up.

 

[Ermac]

I might get a scope for it. And why would I convert it when I haven't even fired it yet lol.

 

[Reise]

Ooh an RPK, very nice. Get a 50 rounder for that puppy.

My latest toy, a restored Russian capture K98. Manufactured in 1938 by the original Mauser factory, and Heer marked. All she needs is a sling and a cleaning rod, and she'll be ready for battle.

Ermac, i see your as good as me @ Fotographing

 

[Manstein]

that RPK looks right at home next to the stationary bike

 

[necropimp]

i had to scroll back up after scrolling past the RPK... when it zoomed by the yellow rag made me think "why are there yellow panties in that pic?"
