Cartouche, maybe?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33429924]It's half a year until I can even send in an application to buy weapons. I like militaria, so why shouldn't I buy deactivated guns if I want to?[/QUOTE] Because they don't do anything.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33433525]lol why do people collect military uniforms and deactivated grenades?? so dumb :P[/QUOTE] Because military uniforms you can wear.
[QUOTE=faze;33433642]Because military uniforms you can wear.[/QUOTE] But what if they are [B]deactivated uniforms[/B]?
I just put a Leupold on my Browning. It's made the gun a good deal heavier, but hot damn does it feel [i]fantastic[/i] in hand. I have yet to take it out for a spin.
[QUOTE=jimhowl33t;33434440][B]deactivated uniforms[/B]?[/QUOTE] So what, they're missing the pockets or something? What the fuck is a deactivated uniform?
And deactivated grenades are for throwing at your newphew![sp]happened to me before[/sp]
Pruss, if you want a weapon to stick over the fireplace, that sounds like as good a choice as any. Personally, though, I would save up for those 6 remaining months so I could buy a functional rifle. But again, that's just my choice, and I'm a much more utilitarian person.

[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33435994]I already put aside money for a Silma Lappland and CZ452. I'm being given an 870 by my parents. [editline]25th November 2011[/editline] Hey faze, does "PAP" stand for "Piece-A-Plastic"?[/QUOTE] You aren't funny.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437065]Seriously though, what does it stand for? Is it just a model name or whatever? [editline]25th November 2011[/editline] Hey wait a sec Doesn't the PAP use an RPK receiver? Maybe you need an RPK gas tube?[/QUOTE] I don't know what it stands for, the manual doesn't even say. Not sure if it uses an RPK receiver either. Would it helped if I measure the gas tube for you?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437185]I have no experience with AKs tbh. I just think I read somewhere that the PAP uses an RPK receiver. Could you measure the thickness of the receiver walls?[/QUOTE] Dammit I can't find my measuring tape, I'd do it otherwise. Gotta do some Google sleuthing.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437372]If it's 1,6mm then it's an RPK receiver. I guess you need an RPK tube, then. The one you got was too short, wasn't it?[/QUOTE] It was too short, half inch to an inch too short.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437453]Then I'm fairly certain it [I]is[/I] an RPK-spec receiver. Guess you just need a fitting gas tube then.[/QUOTE] I have a feeling it's a proprietary size though. The mag's are proprietary I think, but I heard WASR mag's will work.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33437605]The mags are 10rnd single stacks, aren't they? Fairly sure all the RPK spec parts are just reprods, so you might be right about them being proprietary. Pop Zastava a mail?[/QUOTE] Yeah, single stacks. The mag's themselves are proprietary. The specific width of them, not sure. Not sure if the WASR mag's are wobbly or not. But I have a feeling that RPK parts won't help me here. From what I read, Zastava does their thing, prevents Frankenstein rifles that fall apart. (Century Arms shit.)
So they started putting the guns out at the store... [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/EXNSs.jpg[/img_thumb] There's going to be quite a fair bit of them, and we have to have them all out tomorrow.
[QUOTE=credesniper;33427175]Trying to help a facepuncher identify their percussion possibly once flintlock, and I need help with some gun terms. 1. What would you call the letter stamped on the bottom of the grip? 2. What would you call the mark identifying the maker on the side?[/QUOTE] The maker mark is called a Cartouche (as Ridge stated) Do you have pics? I might be able to tell the country of origin.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33444574]The nugget has electro-pen markings on bayonet and the bolt, cross stock bolt on the grip and a trigger return spring. Does that mean it's a finnish capture?[/QUOTE] Not necessarily, the Russian electro-penciled all the refurbs as well.
So PrusseluskenV2, the width of the receiver is 3cm, and the length of the gas tube is 8.5cm. That help at all for what we were talking about before?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33448839]The width of the receiver itself isn't important, only how thick the walls are. They should be 1,6 millimetres thick if it's an RPK-spec one. [editline]26th November 2011[/editline] [video=youtube;1_asMxBSyDU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_asMxBSyDU[/video] Hey, I guess this is yours? Looks like a fun gun actually.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's the AK I have. Recoil is like a .223. So you want me to pop off the dust cover and measure the walls?
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33448975]Yeah, if you can be arsed. I guess you'd have to zero your optics again though?[/QUOTE] They are rarely zero given their location. The walls look like they're around 2mm. But they're curved from in to out so with my bad eyesight, I'm guessing. 8.5mm gas tube though, that should give us some kind of clue.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33449167]Yeah, I guess that helps. By the way, are you getting the one you bought refunded?[/QUOTE] Emailed them on Wednesday, so I will hear from them Monday. Thanksgiving was on Thursday, so it's a holiday weekend.
[QUOTE=PrusseluskenV2;33449657]Oh, alright. Good luck.[/QUOTE] So you're not sure which gas tube I need?

[editline]26th November 2011[/editline] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22107915/Die%20waffen/nugget/IMG_1004.JPG[/img] [editline]26th November 2011[/editline] The rear right receiver part is flat, the receiver wall is flat as well, the bolt knob is slanted on the underside, the knob has a small hole drilled into the top and there's that cross stock bolt+odd trigger. THIS MAKES ME WONDER.[/QUOTE] Maybe it's been captured several times? I have no idea when it comes to nuggets and markings.

I might be able to tell the country of origin.[/QUOTE] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/JvfwV.jpg[/thumb] I've spent far too long surfing google images trying to identify it. We know it was flinctlock converted to percussion cap, and the design underneath is fleur de lis leading us to believe it's French. Found with another matching one at a Danish military base.
Well today I took my scoped buckmark out. Few hundred rounds later we got it sighted in to be darn accurate at 50 feet. And then we got out a wee little Bersa 380 pistol and for shits and grins shot at our targets from 50 feet away. I have to confess that I was greatly surprised at how the felt recoil was less than my 22. And then to top it off we did some hip shooting with a 410 single shot and then I blasted a mud puddle with my Mozzarellaberg 500 which was [i]hilarious[/i].
Headed to the range tomorrow with my dad for the first time in like 12 years. Taking 4 weapons with me. Should be a good time.
I'm saddened, because there's no more range days scheduled at my club all year that I can make. Also, I must have put a price tag around the trigger guard of over 300 guns today at work, the majority of those being Remington, and most of those ones 870s. It kinda of loses its zeal after you've seen a room of ~1000 guns, and had to do shit to ~300 of them.

Being a dueling pistol, it would have been made for a private customer, who may have been French, which could explain the Fluer De Lis.
