Old fully stocked military rifle.Looks to be about 6.5 mm (guesstimate) bore. Flip up backsite to 2K meters, fixed front sight.Box magazine with straight bolt handle.Marked "CARL GUSTAFS STADS GEVARSFAKTORI 1915. Ser.# 355680. Sling swivels and cleaning rod.Barrel length is approx. 29".Action looks similar to Mausers I have seen before. Also has crown markings and an idealized letter symbol I can’t make out too good. Please help if you are knowledgable on old (WWI-era) military rifles.I’m guessing it’s Austro-Hungarian.
Two that I still kick myself about, years later, are very well done sporterized military rifles: a 6.5×58 Portugese Vergueiro, and an ‘03 Springfield in 333 OKH.
I have recently started collecting old military rifles and I have came across everything except the old M1 Garand’s. Does anyone one know if they were ever re-sold in the us market? It’s funny that you can find Mauser’s, Nagants, Rubin’s, Enfield’s but I can’t seem to find a M1 surplus.
whats the difference between military rifles and something you could buy at a local gun shop. Any info greatly appreciated.
Muzzle loaders, Self reloading, Military rifles, Shotguns don’t count. I’m talking about legal hunting/shooting rifles for civilian use with store bought cartridges.
I just want your opinion not the exact 100% hands down correct answer. Keep your thumbs down to yourself its an open forum.
I was looking for a collectible (and shoot-able) genuine military issue 1911. I’m more familiar with military rifles and markings and do not know too much about the 1911.
Doing a search on gunsamerica.com, there were TONS of different 1911’s.
What do you look for for a military issue one? Makers? etc..
Not looking for anything prestine or rare. Just looking to own a little piece of military history. And what would a reasonable price for one be?
thanks in advance
My definition is that it must be capable of full auto fire and in current use by one of the worlds modern armies. Civilian versions of military rifles are not assault rifles.
Apart from the military rifles that you can’t buy. Your opinions?
I’m looking to fill my gun cabnit with a few surplus rifles(mostly target shooting and maybe varmint hunting). When I think of surplus rifles I think of the mosin nagant, kar98, springfield, lee enfield, sks, ak47, and other popular military rifles. I want reliabilityy, cheap ammunition, and decent/good accuracy. Whats my best bet? I would like to pay between 0-0 for each rifle.
Hello, my friend told me that you can dry fire military rifles, as they’re designed to be rugged. Is this true?
My gun is a Norinco M14.
