Get an AK.


I'm sure I can scrounge one up.

Thanks but I'm picking up one tomorrow.

 

[Bill B]

Sure, if you take the one out of my Dodge Grand Caravan.

Ummm, no

Heater core has a very small leak

Bypass it and install a 12v truck heater and use a 12v hair dryer for the defroster.

Jay, sucks about the heater core.

Second kid sick here, I think my wife has significantly shortened all of our lives due to the amount of Lysol we've inhaled this evening.

Did that one winter. Thankfully it was just my work car.

If it burns, it's good for you.

Meet "Rusty"
So today I received a free rifle rescued from an attic since who knows when. I believe it is a Berthier Etts Continsouza Mle-M-16 possibly WWI era. It needs some tlc as you will see as all I did is wipe it down with a towel. This is my new project, so any help with this would be appreciated.

[gunbunnies]

What caliber is it ?

Does the bore look better than the outside ?

Thanks but I'm picking up one tomorrow.

If you don't get it for some reason let me know. I can drop it off tomorrow.

If you would that be great. That would save me a trip out to Whiting.

I haven't taken it apart yet to see if there are any markings, but I'm guessing 8x50mm, 8mm Lebel, or 7.5x54mm French.
All I did is a quick, light wipe with some oil/cleaner last night. The bore looks good with 1 patch ran through it currently.

[repeter1977]

Kinda quiet day, got quite a bit done which was nice. Even better, no one really thought I was in,

 

[Ballstater98]

Got Rusty's bolt out, disassembled, and wiped down. Pieces currently letting Hoppe's soak in. Kind of an interesting bolt assembly. I mean..a screw!? Trigger/magazine housing out and soaking. Metal pieces still connected to the stock wiped and soaking as we have to travel to the inlaws for Christmas.

And if you try to ratchet that screwed down it goes into the firing pin and you can't run the bolt, so you can't screw it all the way in but somehow it stays in.

[Ballstater98]

Made it to the in-laws. Whew. Rusty must have broken the thread.
This Maker's is tasty and we'll earned!
