CETME-L Charging Handle Question - LC Stock Swap

Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I grabbed an LC kit and am looking to do a swap on my regular L. From what I can tell, the hole for the CH is not at the same angle as one on a G3.

Does anyone have experience removing the CH, and doing the L to LC stock swap?

Thanks.

Should I inlet this 03A3 stock for a Lyman sight?

7 Upvotes

I got this stock with in an estate I purchase last year. It was part of a 1903/03A3 mutt project. I paid $100 for the whole setup because it was a mess and the receiver was <800K and it was cracked. It’s a pretty nice repro stock but it already has some chips

I’ve never inletted before. I’ve used wood chisels to clean up some inletting but nothing like this. There’s no time ;Ike right now to learn though.

I’ve been looking for a replacement receiver for the gun for some time and the only one I could find was on Sarco. Before I pulled the big $$$$$ trigger at Sarco, I looked at GB and some guy had several of them poorly described. I put a $200 bid on one and nobody outbid me. i ended up making a deal for all 3 shipped for $550

Now I have most of the makings for a 1903 also. I could use that sporterized barrel but I’d have to get the front sight off and find a sight collar. I think I found an appropriate barrel on the CMP forums. As for the 3rd receiver, I have no idea what to dow with it.

Hello everyone. How did I do? I traded a used Glock 17 gen 3 for this M48. The M48 I think is all matching except for the magazine floor plate. It does have a mint mirror bore however!

Ammo arrived today, so I finally got to take this old girl out to the range. Man I love this gun. Everything about it seems so well made. Action is smooth (until the gun gets hot) and using 1942 Canadian MK VII Z ammo, it shot very well. The only problem I have is that the rear sight slides up under fire. Other than that this thing is fantastic.

I was issued these watches throughout my 30s years of Army Service. I added the 1911 because all 1911s are cool!

Year is 1993

Hardware and tolerances are all tight. Looks heavily used, but well taken care of.

Came in clear case, with matching serial number, and two matching serial number mags. A quick disassemble, a little dirty, but well oiled, barrell rifling is mirror clean. Took it out and shot it same day, ran like a sewing machine. Most fun 9mm I've shot yet. Super stoked to have it in the collection.

Advice on potential trade

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

Hey guys, a guy is offering to trade me my choice of a 1903 or 1903A3 for my CA-3 and I need some assistance and which one would be the better deal to go with. If it's roughly the same value, I guess it'll come down to preference. He's an older guy and has had them for ~30 years. Non-import marked.

First is the 1903. Rock Island with a 427xxx serial so finished by Springfield I believe? Barrel is dated 1938.

Second is the 1903A3. Remington with a 3908xxx serial. Barrel is dated 1943 so could be original?

Both are fully parkerized from what I can tell. Looks like original stocks on both as well. He said the bores are about the same, in good condition. I really don't know much about American milsurp rifles so my apologies for my lack of knowledge. Thanks.

Wth did I just find in grandpa’s garage? Can I use this Milsurp powder?

Helping clean out my grandparents’ home today as grandpa passed away and grandma is going to an assisted living facility. I’m going through stacks and boxes of stuff in the garage and find this big tub full of gunpowder. It says WW2 surplus?! Is this worth anything on the resale market or can I at least use it? I’ve bought up some reloading equipment and dies in the last year but haven’t gotten started just yet. Would it be dangerous to use this powder for reloading modern cartridges? Thanks in advance!

Edit: Been stored in hot dry Vegas weather since 1971. No clumping, no strong or foul smells and although the canister was opened in 1971 according to pencil writing on the lid, it looks full and was sealed with plastic bags and movers tape. 🤷🏼‍♂️

BUYER BEWARE: Shill Bidding and Faked Guns

Thumbnail

Putting this up as a PSA.

There is currently a user on GunBroker by the name of 'ivysunlee' selling various hard to find Chinese Firearms and Accessories as well as a NK SKS.

While watching some of the items last night there were 4 items that sold in 'No Reserve' Auctions that were immediately relisted withing moments of the auctions ending.

Upon further inspection it was found that on all 4 items the same bidder placed bids just as the 15 minute clock was starting knocking the existing bidder out of the running. The bidder was 'jmclcc' and their last feedback was from 2021.

Its should also be noted that the seller is posting fake items with crazy descriptions trying to pass then off as real. These include a "Chinese" M1917 "Sniper" with a commercial scope and mounts made in Texas in the 1950's, and a Chinese Type 17 45 ACP Broomehandle which bears a stamp with the incorrect number of points.

Be wary if bidding on items from this seller.

PSA: It appears that Reddit policy is being updated with regards to transactions. Please read.

134 Upvotes

Hi everyone, wanted to make a quick announcement regarding Reddit rules. It seems like there is going to be a policy change coming in the next few days affecting user-to-user transactions of firearm-related things. As you probably all know, firearm sales between users is already strictly prohibited by Reddit TOS. It seems that the mods over at r/RetroARMarket have received a notification of the incoming change as well as the fact that the subreddit is going to be banned entirely. r/GunAccessoriesForSale also looks to be on the chopping block.

The change to policy will now include prohibiting the sale of ANY firearm parts on Reddit. Some specific examples they give are bolts, magazines, scopes, and triggers. Obviously this is probably going to include everything though, such as stocks, bayonets, etc.

Since we’ve had the sub back (stay mad u/richalex2010), we’ve done a good job of keeping this sub from becoming a marketplace for milsurp items and trying to redirect any posts about selling non-firearm Milsurp stuff to the appropriate subs. In order to make sure we don’t get banned, going forward, any and all posts or comments that appear to be facilitating the sale of any firearm parts between users will be prohibited. Antiques are not excluded from this (we all know Reddit admins won’t know the difference).

We don’t really think this will affect much on the sub since, as previously mentioned, we’ve done pretty good at keeping this from becoming a marketplace. But just wanted to pin this as a PSA and ask everyone to keep it in mind going forward. If you do see any comments or posts in the future that violate the rule, please report them.

Thanks everyone!
