I took the gun out in the light and was examining it and it needed a clip and a good cleaning. then looked down the barrel and it was solid about half the way down and then looked in the chamber and it was solid. It's an efing movie gun! well no target practice but it will scare the hell out of the salesman at the door _________________ crosman2250 xt crosman 1077 crosman modded 2240 benji 392 drozd bumble bee   Posted: Wed Jun 02, 2010 9:16 pm xeene New Member Joined: 23 May 2010 Posts: 11 post a pic _________________ crosman/remington npss .177 in digital camo.   Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 7:30 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia An aftermarket barrel and chamber shouldn't cost too much.

At the end of the war, Germans would trade their guns for potatoes and such. Once in a while an old farmer dies, and they find a k-98 with some caridges. Best thing I heard was a box they found in Normandy or somewhere in a basement. All the rifles were stored in loads of fat grease and looked as new as when they were made. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 11:51 am Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 broommaster2000 wrote: Oooh, I know these stories!

Very interesting you should mention that.I've heard about storing the guns in fat etc. My Grandfather never did talk much about Normandy. I do know for a fact that he jumped in on the second night.I doubt he would have made it if he came in from the ocean on to the beach via amphibious carrier,as the enemy was waiting on the cliff tops.. From what I gather they jumped in from a height of less than 2000 feet in near pitch black darkness right on top of the enemy....intense. I had also heard that he once ran convoy for General Patton himself... He only mentioned Normandy because I was doing a report on it in school.You would never know it by meeting him,as he was a sweet humble sort of guy. _________________   Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 4:32 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Mark5043 wrote: Very interesting you should mention that.I've heard about storing the guns in fat etc. I've once heard from an old dutch army dude that they used a lard like substance. If you'd store it right, only the outsides would really harden and turn bad, but inside it would actually keep air and moist our of whatever you'd be storing. Doesn't work in warm countries either, or you gotta keep it cooled (like in a basement). Of course, guns should be thoroughly cleaned after (very) long storage but I think that pretty much goes without saying. A very good looking K-98 costs about as much as a decent used car, especially with all the right stamps. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:38 pm Mark5043 Silver Status Member Joined: 12 Apr 2009 Posts: 1379 broommaster2000 wrote: Mark5043 wrote: Very interesting you should mention that.I've heard about storing the guns in fat etc. I've once heard from an old dutch army dude that they used a lard like substance.

The US army found thousands of the M1 rifle the ww2 solders used stashed in a warehouse someplace. They were gonna sell them off, but the anit gun crowed got wind, and the rifles ended up being destroyed... ain't that a female dog! _________________ .22 2300kt Crosman Custom   Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2010 3:37 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Mark5043 wrote: broommaster2000 wrote: Mark5043 wrote: Very interesting you should mention that.I've heard about storing the guns in fat etc. I've once heard from an old dutch army dude that they used a lard like substance.

Just heard it, neveractually confirmed it. I wouldn't put my guns in lard, I'm sure even back then they had pretty good alternatives too. _________________ BIG GAP found uzi     Air Gun Home Forum Index » The BS Topic You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
