Any Takers??? - The Firearms Forum

JLA · 10-01-2009, 03:47 PM

I am going to be rummaging through my stacks and stacks of crap I aint touched in ages and giving everything I dont need or wont use away... Bear with me, itll take a few days to get it all sorted out and perhaps a tad longer to decide whether or not ill need it or use it

Sooo, to start my closet clean-out/giveaway I have a bag of once fired .44 spec. brass. free to a good home. Its remington brass and has been resized/decapped and tumbled. ready to be loaded. PM me your mailing address if you want it. Early bird gets the worm

312 shooter wins the brass. Keep an eye on the thread for future freebies... Ill be posting them as I pilfer through my goods...

JLA · 10-01-2009, 04:26 PM

OK... Next up is a pair of Pachmayer rubber grip panels for a beretta 92 (M9). Dont need em, I dont have an M9 and they too are just collecting dust. First PM gets em...

JLA · 10-01-2009, 05:34 PM

Alpo claims the 92 grips. Im taking the family out for dinner, But ill have more to post tomorrow...

JLA · 10-02-2009, 10:55 AM

Good morning all... I just came out of the closet with 4 stock sets free for the taking. All stocks are in superb condition and can be put sraight to use...

Stock set #1 is a russian Mosin Nagant M91/30 stock and handguard set complete with metal hardware and cleaning rod. This one came off my old 1929 tula that I sporterized and put a camo stock on.

Stock set #2 is and old SMLE Mk. 1 #4 stock and handguard set. this one does not have metal hardware or a buttplate, the upper rear handguard is grooved and the handguards do still have the metal caps on them.

Stock set #3 is a Springfield 1903A3 semi pistol grip stock that is complete with upper handguard and metal bands. has no buttplate.

Stock set #4 is also a springfield 1903 stock. It is the A4 sniper stock in new condition with the recoil lugs installed and has a minor crack at the rear of the action bed probably from not being properly inletted to the action. It has no matching upper handguard and no metal hardware and no buttplate. will fit on a 1903A3 or 1903A4.

bear with me on these, I will probably have them in the mail on monday, that'll give me time to find boxes that will fit them well with enough packing so our underpaid USPS workers wont destroy them in transit

flannelman · 10-03-2009, 10:15 PM

Nice but I can't really use them. I bet someone can though.

woolleyworm · 10-03-2009, 10:27 PM

I can make great use of the M91/30 stock. My good friend has a teenage son that has been tinkering with stock refinishing; he doesn't let him touch anything of high value. However, his last couple of projects have been quite nice, this would be a good project for him. He's been putting in alot of time studying different finish techniques and elbow grease. If you think this would be a good idea; you could send it my way.

JLA · 10-03-2009, 11:32 PM

got ya covered woolley.

JLA · 10-03-2009, 11:34 PM

wooleyworm calims the m91/30 stock

gdmoody claims the 1903A3 stock

left for the taking are the 1903A4 and the enfield stock...

Alpo · 10-04-2009, 06:24 AM

Just curious if this is a "one to a customer" thing. I thought, hard, about that 03 scant stock. If I had seen your original post I'd have chimed in for that 44 special brass. You might have some other really neat stuff that I think I can't live without.

Let me know if you find any $100 bills laying around in that closet. I want to put my name in first

JLA · 10-04-2009, 08:52 PM

Not at all Alpo, if you want it its yours, unless of course someone else already beat ya to it and I fully expected someone to claim all of the stocks in one shipment, I was surprised to see some picking and choosing. I guess were just surrounded by good honest folk around here

. I almost put an old B square reciever drilling jig up on here but in trying to figure out what all was there I figured out how to use it, so I think i might sit on it awhile longer, Might come in handy one day

So far my pilfering has turned up nothing worth giving away, mostly trash. I did however, find an old wichester ranger semi auto shotgun I had stashed away for parts a while back. Plum forgot I had it, so if anyone needs ranger parts, or better yet, has an old broken down ranger they wouldnt mind selling for parts, let me know. The one I have is nearly complete. Only lacking the bolt release button and spring and magazine throat (broken assembly). I ran accross some AK stuff, a cleaning rod and a pistol grip, and an upper handgurd spring clip. Ill get it all sorted and post it for you guys.

Funny you should mention money Thomas. I found my wifes old 'Quarter Horse' we had crammed a bunch of money into back when we first married. Plan was to save it for just in case when we moved into our apartment and then 3 years ago moved again into our home, Amidst all the moving we forgot about the 'quarterhorse' that had nearly 800 bucks crammed into it, so we had a cookout today and my bank account is a tad fuller now

mark_baron · 10-04-2009, 09:55 PM

I would be interested in the enfield stock if it is still available.
Mark

Alpo · 10-04-2009, 10:10 PM

Correct me if I'm confused here.

Semi-pistol grip stock, which (if I'm remembering correctly) is called a "scant" stock, is the one gdmoody claimed?

The 1903A4 stock, however, is a full pistol grip? Cool. Yeah, I'd be tickled to have that.

gdmoody · 10-04-2009, 10:13 PM

That is what I was thinking, also. I wanted the "straight" one.

BONUS +++++ Always nice to make discoveries like that! Probably did better than if it was sitting in a 401k too !

JLA · 10-05-2009, 10:32 AM

Exactly right alpo.. Those stocks you posted look almost identical to the ones I have minus the hardware of course

JLA · 10-05-2009, 10:36 AM

Ok, everything posted has been spoken for. I have one more section to clean out so ill be posting the last few things soon.

CampingJosh claimed the AK tidbits,

Mark Baron claims the enfield stock,

and alpo gets the 03A4 stock,

I will have all items mailed today, yall let me know when they arrive.

Alpo · 10-06-2009, 05:08 PM

Grips arrived. Soon as I can find an allen wrench, I'll put 'em on the gun and take a purty picher to post and show how nice they look.

JLA · 10-06-2009, 08:09 PM

cool deal Alpo, That A4 stock should be at your door tomorrow afternoon according to the UPS lady

Alpo · 10-07-2009, 07:08 PM

Dang. They don't fit.

Grip you sent on the left, and the one I took off on the right. See the area in the top L/H corner? There's a rounded divot in the one I took off, and a raised area in the Pachmayr. Name: 100_0489.jpg

On the gun there is a round raised area there. I don't know its purpose, but it's there. I need to slightly modify these, I guess.

And the rifle stock arrived this evening. Wow! That's gorgeous. Thank you, sincerely. I'll have to strip the iron off my straight stock, but I think that gun will look much better in this one.

JLA · 10-07-2009, 08:20 PM

How old is your M9 alpo, The grips came off a mil-spec circa 1988/89 beretta, I acquired them in trade at the gunshop and have not found a use for them in a couple years. I thought youd like that A4 stock. Its nearly new, It too came to me in trade, I was gonna try n fix it where the original owner managed to crack it at the rear of the action bed but forgot about it and purchased a new one for my A3

story of my life

Alpo · 10-07-2009, 08:42 PM

Good question. I bought my 96 in '01 (my daughter's got it up in Atlanta, so I can't see if they fit it), and I got this 92 a couple of years later. The ban hadn't expired yet, because it came with 10-rounders, so probably late '03 - early '04.

It's garr-eeeeen.

Hmmmm. Just cross-checked. Got my green 1911 in June of '04, and I bought the green 92 to match, so it had to be in the summer of '04. Don't you just love it when you can cross-check something in your records and find the answer?

JLA · 10-08-2009, 04:51 PM
