What is the matter with emails called admin test"?

I am still here, but a little busy in my job.

Have you blocked weapons sites in your firewall?

Did not see the rifle/safety, but at least one original MN rifle type has a Mauser like looking safety, a Finnish conversion!!

New England Westinghouse made all parts for the m/91 rifle, including the bayonet and the tools for instance.

The NEW marks are various capital letters with a left pointing arrow.

They just shot in the barrack floors, distance between 20 and 25 meters with the rear sight set on 200 paces. Yes there is enough pressure!

No, they projectiles are made specially for the device with a little hole in the bottom, that fits tightly on the front part of the "cartridge". The diameter/calibre would be too small for a musket bullet, btw.

Does this very interesting device (Im jealous i want one) need special primers? Also how heavy and what caliber are the projectiles? Is there a false primer in the base that when the rifles firing pin hits it engages some sort of firing pin in the fake case? or do you put the primer into the base o...

Ask Mr. Alfred Kruk, the author of the book PATRONENTASCHEN, PATRONENGUERTEL ans BANDULIERE 1850-1950 (a HIGHLY recommended book BTW!!!!).

Karl,    Interesting pieces indeed!  I have a very nice T53 they would compliment nicely!  My T53 is a Factory 26 manufacture from 1953, I am certain it came from Vietnam, as it has no import marks...... ak_milsurp: T/53s are nice ones, normally with a lot of "character", but so...

Neat pouches, K-H! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for any of them at gun shows henceforth. :D Go Manchester United! oh, never mind. :lol: entropy: If you (or anybody else) would like one I could ask my freind here, if he still has some spare ones, THOUGH YOU NAMED THE WRONG FUSSBALL CLUB  :D...

Sherman:

Chinese take out, hmm, good idea, some Nasi Goreng, please, and one or two of your sweet T/53s

I looked and enjoyed. 8) Those are well made and in very nice condition. Is it usual to find them in that kind of condition. I don't have any of those pouches but other types I have gotten with rifles were moldy and stiff. Hombre: In fact those were the only Chinese pouches I found for sale, so I a...

Many of you will have the Chinese version of the carbine m/44, the T/53. But do you have the correct Chinese Mosin-Nagant equipment to carry your ammo to the range  :)? Here it is from top to bottom: Chinese ammo pouch for 7,62x54 R, old model with two straps, Chinese ammo pouch for 7,62x54 R, ...

im talking about shots under 10 feet only, but you are right, too low of energy to try, i want a humane instant kill when i hunt..  i prefer using my CCI .22 lr MINI MAG HP in my single action revolver or my glenfield [marlin] model 60 for small game. very powerfull little round. Much better!!...

you need "just" luck and open eyes plus some connections. This device for instance I found when visiting a very small gun show in Austria. Some of the shows there are very nice and interesting, as there are tables of collectors only.

KH i would be so allergic to your house.  for some reason when i joined the army i became allergic to cats.  i still love them i still pet them but now have to suffer. i wouldnt mind using a round like that on the stray goats that are eating my pine trees :x whitefeathersniper sorry to he...

I am glad you all like the stuff!! Some more?

Karl-Heinz - never for cats.  My daughter and sons would also never speak to me.  We have no problem with feral cats in any case. I am so glad that I can stay on this forum  :D :D :D. In the moment we have 7 cats, 5 kitten of 7 weeks included. They are really cute, even for me. Regards
