    Russian SV-98

    Ran across this and thought I'd resurrect this thread. Anyone have a spare $9k? IZHMASH RECORD 7.62x54r TARGET RIFLE. *ETA* got an email back from Atlantic Firearms. Yours for only $8,700 shipped! ;)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Hiking With A Pistol

    I carry cross-chest as well. It's all large-frame revolvers up here for the most part, and I find a belt carry to be impractical for me.

    Adams Arms blems?

    Always do ;)

    Adams Arms blems?

    Sounds promising. Mine should be here this week. I'll post pics once I pick it up.

    Adams Arms blems?

    :Crickets: ;) I think I'll snap one up and see how it looks. Worst-case scenario I'll need to have it painted. Still would only be into it for ~$800

    Adams Arms blems?

    Anybody have one? Just how blemmed are we talking here? Buds has the blemmed carbines for $599 shipped right now, still covered under AA's factory warranty, which seems like a screaming deal if they aren't completely effed up...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Tongass huh? Very nice. Did the rainforest live up to its name? ;)

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Very nice George! Were you guys hunting Chugach?

    CZ 455 Ultimate tacticool is now 100% with its new trigger guard (M5!) :).

    I'm pretty sure any "tactical" stock falls under the State Department export control laws, and thus would need to be exported through a licensed exporter. Not sure it would be worth it for a cheap Tacticool stock. Especially when better stocks can be had elsewere.

    What scope are you running on you 22?

    Leupold FX1 rimfire 4x and two Nikon Prostaff rimfire 4x's. I still haven't built a "trainer" yet, and I love me a fixed four power on my scoped hunting/target rifles ;)

    New old Marlin

    It's a toss-up between a tang sight and a peep sight for me. It's set up for both already. Hadn't thought about case hardening it. Damn that would look awesome...

    New old Marlin

    Fair enough. I can't argue with that ;) Now I just need to find someone who can pretty her up for me :)

    New old Marlin

    Very good point QH. And you're right, it'd be a refinish, not a restoration. I'm thinking of having someone fill in the holes for the front sight (going to keep the scope I think) and then completely redo the metal and clean up the wood. It won't be original, but it should look good once it's...

    New old Marlin

    Not exactly the normal Snipershide rifle porn we're all used to, but they're what I was able to snap before work.

    New old Marlin

    Came across a deal that I couldn't refuse today. A local guy was selling off some of his long guns and asked me to come have a look. Most of it was pretty uninteresting, but amongst the pile was an old beat up Marlin 39A with "G" prefix serial number (so 1949 or '50 production date as far as I...

    SOV PE scope repros?

    You're the man John. I'll keep my eye on it.

    SOV PE scope repros?

    Parker's a good kid. Saw him the other day picking up some guns that Taurus sent him for free to use on the show. Must be rough... ;) I've been here seven years now. The salmon fishing here is some of the best I've seen, and the bears are big and plentiful. The rain never bothered me. We get so...

    SOV PE scope repros?

    Can you post a link to that? I can't seem to find it...

    SOV PE scope repros?

    Oh no, like is said, I thought about drilling an M39 briefly, but discarded the notion almost immediately. I just traded for my second Finn (another M39, I think I'm going to find a 28-30) and they will both remain unmolested. No I'm considering a regular 91/30 for this project. I haven't...

    SOV PE scope repros?

    Every now and then I feel the urge to modify one of my old 91/30's to make it a replica of a "PE" sniper (Once thought I wanted to do it to one of my M39s until I realized what I was thinking and slapped myself sober) My most recent urge is a little stronger than most so I thought I'd access the...
