No kidding, if he and that weirdo Taco ever make it up here to climb Rainier, they should bring it, so I can fondle it.

nicely done He, wish we could do stuff like that up here

[He219]

Thanks, rhino!
You're welcome to visit and try them out, even here in Kommiefornia.

[Laconian]

Wow. Very nice job, He.

I'm looking to replace the stock on my German Mauser 98k. I bought it a while back because it was in good condition except for the stock, which had been bubba'd.

Does anyone know of places that sell stocks for a decent price? Ideally I would like to buy an original stock, but looking at the prices of some of these stocks on e-bay seems a bit out of my league as a poor college student.

I have looked at boyds, but I have never done business with them, and would still rather find an original.

You'd be amazed what you could get Mail Order before 1968.

That make me sick.

That make me sick.

Remember gas was about 25 cents a gallon, that gives at least a 10 times a rough inflation value. so the P17, would be $339.95. In very good shape they are around $700 today.

I'm talking about that fact I could have it mailed to my house HAHA

Recently, Armalite has come out with the AR10"A" model- a Carbine and SASS configurations. the neat thing about them is that they take SR25/original AR10 waffle pattern magazines.

To my understanding Knights Armament sells RAS MK11 for-ends on their online store for about $500.

Do not AR10's and the RAS MK11 use the same barrel nut/ thread pitch? (URX and URXII use proprietary barrel nuts/pitches)

Using this line of thinking. Can a budget build clone of a MK11 be feasible?


otherwise I'm waiting on the CM901.

what is the best way of removing linseed oil from stock???

[rhino]

seems sandpaper and elbow greas is my answer

[LineDoggie]

Whoa, try a solvent first, Linseed Oil soaks into the wood and dries by Oxidation not Evaporation. Agressive sanding will just give you a bunch of low spots and irregular surface.

I've seen and used

Easy Off oven Cleaner sprayed on, wait an 1/2 hour and rinse well. Down side is now you've introduced water to the wood and it might warp.

Bleach a No go to lighten the wood as it destroys the cells.

Turpentine, Alcohol, Simple Green(industrial) work well

Brownells TCE degreaser is the best way. I found is best followed by Steel wool (00-0000), not sand paper. Lots of paper towels, a GI weapons toothbrush also to scrub

Bent and heat-treated my own flats. The 105 has a custom 4 degree cut for the Izhevsk 100series folder.
The RPK-74 has a custom 1.5mm flat, it's rock solid. Improvised the selector stamps with a letter punch set.

Do you have a die?
