Well I decided to take a crack at my disassembled CZ 70 with only an exploded view as a reference.

I thought I would never see it put together again.
Well I just found the deal of the century. My local shop has a few hundred loose rounds of Brit and FN surplus .303 for $0.25/e bought 100 rounds today, and gonna go back and buy the rest tomorrow
it's gatmas miracle
[QUOTE=cqbcat;38608975]Damn, I want this stock for the 10/22 so badly, but manufacturer says they're out of stock. I think it would look so sexy blending the wood with an AR 15 vertical grip and stock (A2 of course).

Huh, I guess your desired stock [i]is out of stock[/i].
So, I walk into my local pawn/gun shop today to buy some .223, I take my cap off to scratch my head and notice that theres an entire ceiling above me littered with mosin nagants that I never noticed before. I pulled some down and found a finnish mosin for 100$! The guy told me he just wanted to get rid of them since he bought them decades ago and they hadn't sold, only a few had looked at them. So I bought an M44 [b]AND[/b] a finnish mosin for 250$!

[sp]finnish mosin was made in 1932 at Tika I think.[/sp]

It's like the members of this thread have all struck figurative gold

I was going to say except me, then I remembered some of the guns I got for a collective $550 would have cost you $2500 down south.
what is that one, an M27?
Hey, want to ask some of the 10/22 owners here. Are your bolt stop pins (the pin you remove to get the bolt out of the receiver) easy to tap out and remove? For some reason mine simply refuses to budge, as if Ruger soldered the damn thing in there.
I still can't believe the mindset the USA had for smg's back in the day.
Oh it jammed once? throw it away and get a new one!

Pft, we don't need to produce cleaning kits for our greaseguns.

First time I removed mine, it was a total bitch. I have to use a punching kit to get mine out anyways.
After a dozen or so removals, they start to loosen up
well i bought another shoehorn for $1
and a potato crank for $2
everything's turning up neat
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;38618057]what is that one, an M27?[/QUOTE]
I think it's an M27, the place I bought it from had it listed as an M91/30. The thing looks like it's been in storage for decades or really well taken care of, not a scratch on the receiver. It was made in 1932, theres a "D" next to the factory stamp, and an "F" under the serial number.
Well I've just located a clue to the great Garand kablooie incident of 2012

it looks to be an M27 to me but with photos that grainy it's anyone's guess

A cracked BASE? That's a new one...
I'm starting to think the receiver was [I]seriously[/I] off spec or the rifle [I]very[/I] poorly put together and not spec'd up right

Shity cellphone quality pictures, I need to get an actual camera some day.
I should note that that's military brass, which is a fair bit thicker than commercial brass

Speak for your self bro, I have never gotten a good deal. I've never been ripped off, just never "struck gold" as they say.

So how exactly did you remove your pin? I'm tapping away at mine with a rubber mallet and a pin punch and I haven't made a single bit of progress.
Dad's making me pay for my own ammo now. 7.62x51's are 45 cents where I live and I fire off a hundred of them every time I go to the range, so fuck.

Were you using M2 ball or no? I was talking to a M1 collector a while ago and he said that the higher pressures of modern day ammo can sometimes be too much for it to handle if you use it too much.

True, but usually that will just bend the op rod. His rifle full out exploded into a half dozen pieces at least. And it looks like the case split at the base.

My dad and I were whaling on it for a good 20 minutes with the punch and a hammer. The only other thing I can say is check out some youtube videos and look at how they got theirs out.
But use a lot of force, they'll come out eventually.
Sometimes pins are conical and will only come out one direction...
Anyone know some good ways to rid of surface rust on a Mosin's bolt? I wiped it down with rem oil and that took most of it off, but theres some left behind, barely noticeable but if I can get off, I'd like to.

brass brush always works well

It was military M2 ball manufactured by Kynoch

I struck gold a couple times...
Deac Bren (complete gun, no internals, sealed box of 10 magazines in transit case)
Belgian B.A.R. kit (no receiver)
Browning 1919 (stock, bipod, barrel grip, bag of links/.30 brass) This gun only needed a right side plate to function, which we never got around to commissioning to have milled or buying one.
Price for all 3: $300!
1871 Springfield 50-70 rolling block rifle: $250
1800's H&R .23 break-top hammerless double action revolver with a great story: $100
