Right on FRY...

I guess yours gets mounted on the wall.

I gave mine a general cleaning last night, but I think waiting for it to arrive, has me wanting to tear it down again and give it a more thorough bath and some well needed TLC. Like I said, I bought mine to shoot and have fun with.

Yeah I got my chinese type 56 to blast away with. I'm glad I got an awesome SKS to pop on the wall.

WOOHOO the day finally arrived!!! Pics will be up tonight. Got a 1951 TULA ALL matching NO forced match! Wood is great, not a scratch on this baby! All matching! It looks unfired too... apart from the cosmo, it looks pristine!

Fry

Having such a pristine piece of history has made me jealous. I am on the hunt for one like yours...

Well if you are not going to fire it . Why clean the cosmoline from the internals .It is there to protect it .

my three arrived from Frontier today

all black bolts, every trigger group forced matched, 2/3 gas tubes forced matched, all stocks forced matched.... and only one cleaning kit

at least one has a spring loaded firing pin, and another has a pristine bore.

---- what grade did you order, Fixit , ??? ----- been a Real grab bag, for a lot of people !!!!!!! I take it your not too happy !!!

 

[Fixit]

well granted i did order a shooters grade, but with what ive seen from others getting really pristine rifles that were shooters grade... i was just dissapointed to see that they were all black bolts and forced matched everything.

anyone know any good ways to strip the black paint off with out damaging the blueing?

---- Yes I hear you, --- seems to Luck of the Draw, whatever, ---sorry, you were disapointed, that sucks, ---- I don,t think paint remover, or acetone or whatever, would hurt the bolt any, But I,m not real sure either, should be bright metal underneath, if your talking just about the bolt, -- really don,t know, maybe some others here can add their Advice !! ---- Good Luck on this, Fixit.

So is oil, and I hate cosmoline on any of my firearms. It's in a dry place with extremely low humidity. It's new home is great

"Oh where oh where can my SKS be,
Oh where or where can it be?
Is it in the warehouse or in the store?
Oh where oh where can it be?"

Hey, --- now isn,t that Cute !!!!!!!! --- and also so Very, Very True !!!

 

[SA85M1]

Yup,..waiting is kinda like a good kick in the arse..Out here none have showed up yet,so I grabbed one from Al Simmons..Then I had to get one of the M59/66's Norseman has.....

Here is a pic of a Mag from a batch from Bell. Not to sure how well you can see it, I took it with my phone. Like I mentioned earlier, it has some sort of spacer, and what looks like two dimes welded on top.

Any one else's like that???

 

[heavyBullet]

Just a side note, be careful with the sling attachment on the front of the barrel, it likes to scratch the black paint off the barrel.

 

[gommee]

Mine looks identical. You can not tell it was welded in there. Most people said the mags looked like crap welded like that, but mine is not bad at all.

A quick pic of my hand select from Frontier. Got her a few weeks ago and cant quite tell if she is unissued or unfired or what not. She will be fired this Saturday though.
