[QUOTE=/Vandy/;39310857]Yeah don't use modern ammo in old guns. [I]I FUCKING LEARNED THE HARD WAY[/I]
Ex. 1: Shot modern hot .410 through a "Invincible" .410 single shot shotgun, and bloomed the end of the barrel like you see in a cartoon. Sawed off the fucked up part, and gtg next day!
I run .22 shorts through my ancient .22 childs/bicycle rifles and subsonic "CB's" through an old Savage pump action gallery gun.
Lesson learned, play it safe.[/QUOTE]I recently acquired a 22 rifle from the 30s. What would you recommend I put through it?

Chances are it's in .41 Swiss Rimfire, so basically it's unfireable because you'll never find ammo.[/QUOTE]
ammo-one has some in stock, but it's like $14 a round so you better get reloading if you ever pick one of those up
[QUOTE=capgun;39311516]Yeah, you'd be right on that one, considerin thats a paycheck for me. I appreciate the info nonetheless. Any clue what it might be worth?[/QUOTE]
They're worth about $300-$500

I did mention I saw it in a local sporting goods store :/. I'm not the type of guy to sell off an heirloom, especially one thats a firearm. But the fact that A. Ammo will be nonexistant, and B. I'm not living in a place where collecting is really an option(a dorm room on a military base). It's a cool little gun, by all means, but the timing just isnt there.

Depends on the rifle, if its chambered in .22LR, I'd use CCI CB Longs or even better is CCI Quiet-22.

Yeah, about that...
[QUOTE=felix the cat;39311550]They're worth about $300-$500[/QUOTE]
depends on the year and make, $700 would be about right if it's one of the ones that got rechambered for 6.5 carcano for WWI

by reloading I mean get a brass press and start manufacturing

Bolt, Semi, Pump what is it? If it's a bolt or you don't mind loading a single shot. These: [url]http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2506295321/aguila-super-colibri-ammunition-22-long-rifle-20-grain-lead-solid-point[/url] have no powder so there is no chance they'd be too hot, plus, they are easily the quietest round I have ever heard, suppressed or otherwise.

[b]Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL with those.[/b] I have used them many times, they have NO POWDER where the ones I posted have a tiny bit. It says on the box for the Aguila to NOT FIRE IN A RIFLE. I agree, I have Many, MANY squibs from those.
The CCI Quiet-22's are 3 bucks a box (50?). They are much safer, and I have had ZERO problems with them. Don't trust the Aguila. If you do decide to try them, if you shoot and don't hear an impact, check your bore before you even fire another round...
[QUOTE=credesniper;39311526]I recently acquired a 22 rifle from the 30s. What would you recommend I put through it?[/QUOTE]
What model .22 is it?
I have a Savage Model 6a from the late 30's, it feeds most .22lr ammo perfectly fine except the cheap Thunderbolt shit.
I'll be able to test ammo once it warms back up, can't wait to try out the new Henry Survival Rifle I bought before my state went batshit.
Any good?

A Russian SKS for 250$? thats a really good price, especially for ones still covered in cosmoline
$249? They were going for almost twice that before the rush here.
buy 2 and toss one across the border to me C:

goddamnit, you posted such a great deal that I was going to go ahead and buy it

Someone was looking for .303?

is that really the best deal you'll find on 303?
Dunno if it's the best deal, but it's in stock.

Trust me. As an owner of 2 Lee Enfields, $13/box is as good as it gets.
Unless your local shop suddenly out of nowhere has a giant box of surplus for $0.25/ea.

Is that site price gouging at all? They have Romanian AK drums on there that don't open up at the back like the Chinese ones do. They're 200$ though, and that seems pricey.

That's not a POSP, that's a Romanian LPS that CAME WITH the PSL's. They have a Tritium insert for a glowing reticle, but they are always burned out. You can find them for 50-100 bucks. They are nice for a cheap AK or SKS with Molot rail.

The internals looks like an AK bolt instead of a SVD bolt, but it looks like its Direct Impingement, like an AR-15... Unless I'm missing something.
... Why in the name of Murdercube am I interested in that...? It looks so nice for some reason.

It has a operating rod so it's not DI
It's short stroke so it's not an AK
Bolt carrier looks nothing like an AK carrier
it looks retarded imo
