Anything "Nazi" has had one of the highest collector following for years! Except for the guys who brought them home!
Mill's is probably the most desirable brand to collect of the web type equipment.
Thanks for the info.
All mine have been repaired. The cut was usually made under the rear band, so it cannot be seen. Many ways to repair as long as gap is left for the saw cut.
Togor-- I let a medium to large...
Did John pass away? I used to shoot with him and a small group of guys, for a year or so. He lived in Chicago area then. He was into Mausers back then.(50's-60's.
Gotta sign up log in, not worth...
10-20 years ago they were selling for 5-10 bucks in new condition. I bought several different makers cause I thought they would get scares and expensive. They do cost more but are still affordable,...
Most likely bring-backs, some had duffle cuts. I never got a K98k thru mail order, just too many around in gun shops. Trades? Maybe, or vets just wanting to get rid of them. Shops could not have paid...
CZ-24 is a pistol as far as I know. If you mean a VZ-24 rifle, original are hard to find. Repro's available. Do a search.
Back when I started buying I quickly settled on K98k's (and some other 98 Mausers). Local gun store would get the in maybe one a week (late 50's, 60's). They got so they would save them for me to see...
It tells me they either build without insurance or have big bucks to pay for it. In some cases the Feds. will insure for cheap!
What the heck is GCA?
Like when someone asks me 'who won the game last nite', I give my stock answer, "Who gives a sh*t?".
I believe that may have varied by the units. According to Cap. Phil Sharpe, who was a foreign weapons authority with US Ordinance Dept. in Europe, all that was needed was a form giving permission...
No comments? Or was this just a "gotcha" request? I have couple other scarce models. But most are just run of the mill 'bring backs'.
I grew up is a south suberb. of Chicago. Had a small stadium in town which had ball games, semi pro thru local youth teams. Strictly for laughs, once or twice a year they had 'donkey baseball' games....
I could show pic's of my small collection but that brings out the 'experts' who point out there faults (like they would not have it in their collection). One of my interesting ones is one made for...
That is what the grease was for, lub and as I said to keep fouling down. Crisco is for baking pies!
Some of the "last ditch" examples are the most expensive, because they are very rare. Duffle cuts are evidence of GI 'bring back' and are easily repaired. At any rate I have not seen any for sale in...
I have never used grease or anything, never had a 'flash over'. I was aware of the warning. Cast my own balls and they always shaved thin piece of lead when chambered. The grease also helps to keep...
I am not good with computers, but would be willing to send you a parts diagram showing what you need. PM me with address if you wish. Havlin has no picture? He wrote the book for crying out loud!
I have not been to Canada since the 1950's. But back then t it was the "Imperial Gallon", which was 5 quarts. I was too young to drive but remember the adults saying the price was about the same as...
Laminated stocks left the factory with no finish. It was not necessary as the "glue' is a epoxy which is water proof. The butt plate has been blued and I suspect the rest of the metal has also. If so...
You are missng a second spring. It is short and pushes up against the sight posts. It goes in first , right after the pin with the sight posts, then the spring you now have. This short spring will...
You nailed it I have been saying that for years!!
