Then you haven't even considered the import fees.

I had to pay an extra 35 euros for my Roland C.II model kit. 23 euros import tax (21% tax rate) and 12 euros "customs formalities". Whatever those are, I don't know. But it's a bloody rip-off.

Well gents, after 3 weeks of hard work, I present you my refinished CZ-98 rifle.

My goal was to preserve as much character as I could while also cleaning it up and making it look sexier. After 2 weeks of cleaning with mineral spirits and Murphy's soap, plus light steel wool sanding, I applied 6 coats of boiled linseed oil. My goal was 8 coats but I just didn't have the time (and I wanted my kitchen back!). This is the result. I hope it was worth all the work!

Question: what is that lever on the trigger guard for?

[VonMudra]

That's the buckle for the sling.

Right you are! It's an original parade sling ... it actually isn't long enough to reach the furthest swivel point.

A very dangerous malfunction in the new Winchester SXP pump action shotguns: firing pin stuck in the forward position.

Finally put some footage together of the VZ-98 in action, paired appropriately with music by a Czech composer!

Haha, so, it kicked hard huh i see. Nice to see that rifle shoot though. I wish i also had one but most here seem to be a peruvian contract, very hard to find them in 8mm mauser and good condition.

I have been making movies also over the past months, but i lack a proper camera and camera man, so these where all made by zombies holding potatoes. Sorry for that. Wasn't really planning to share these. I just wanted to see the muzzle flashes on camera. I wish i would have a way to photograph them in high quality.

I am wondering, is there anyone here that also tries to collect WW2 amunition?

[Hockeywarrior]

Hey all. Just a quick post. I picked up an original Gew 98 sling at a local gunshow for my Czech VZ-98. And it only cost me $40, which is a damn good price for them these days.

Does anyone have a pre-1915 Sht. Le. Mk. III for sale?

[Hockeywarrior]

A few weeks ago I uploaded a video of me and a couple friends taking a K-31 for a spin! The rifle belongs to my friend and it is an incredibly sweet shooter -- by far the easiest rifle I've had the pleasure to shoot.

Nothing like going out to shoot with a couple of friends.

I bought some new things last weekend. After a long time i finally went out to a military event again and did a good find. I got a box for .30 carbine ammunition, the box is empty, but i have the correct ammo at home here so i can fill her up correctly. Also i found 4 m1 carbine magazines. 2 of the first pattern, in wax paper and 2 of the second pattern wrapped in its packaging. Both are new old stock. Also i got a nice 20 rounds Thompson magazine even though it has some slight dents, but hardly noticeable. Knowing that what i paid for it was super cheap i am a very happy boy now.

Had a blast trying the new Browning Maxus Composite semi-auto shotgun on the local skeet range for free! Took two mates who had never fired shotguns before with me and they caught shotgun fever. As well as I did, so I bought myself a gun safe and I'm planning to get my guns from my dads gun safe and bring them  here so I can go to the range more often and practice with my own shotty before hunting season starts.

Maybe relink the image? I can't see anything. And do you own the guns to go with those magazines? 

I'm super excited to buy my first "real" revolver next week (not to diss my Nagant revolver or anything lol). Behold: the Smith and Wesson "Combat Masterpiece" aka Model 15 c.a. 1951. I'm buying this baby off of a friend for a really good price. Can't wait
