This guys dad was a German guard and his mother was a Jewish nurse. I would like to know the details of that but it's way too personal to ask
-
UPDATE apparently the lawyers in Germany took care of all the paperwork as my friend received a crate of personal items at customs. After signing a pile of papers he opened the crate and the mosin was included. I haven't seen it yet but he did say the front stock has been cut off. Cool to have a wwII rifle that you know the story.

Thanks for the information. My friend will have to go it alone. I don't think I want to get involved. Seems like too much trouble, even for a family heirloom .
-
Wow amazing for 1 gun when importers are bringing them in by the hundreds or thousands. I am sure my friend will not be able to afford that. That leaves his relatives in Germany to deal with it. It's hard to imagine what the rifle has been through. East Germany prohibited possession and I guess Germany still does

Thanks for the link. I had searched ATF website but didn't find inherited. It looks cut and dried.
-
Does anyone know if it is possible to get an inherited relic into the US? A friend of mine has inherited a Mosin used by his father in WWII. The bizarre thing is his father was a German soldier who spent the latter part of the war as a camp guard. Apparently they were using whatever scrounged weapons they could get

here is an interesting test of lubes http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=3667

I don't think the moisture is coming from outside. The outside walls are poured block and fully waterproofed and drained the same as the rest of the basement. the porch is under roof and does not get rained on. The concrete is poured on corrugated steel. (core form I believe it is called). I don't want to introduce outside air because the temperature fluctuations would make the room not suited for what I have in mind. I might try the sheets of insulation.
-
The ceiling of the room is simply the corrugated steel form and about 5 inches of reinforced concrete. The room is not climate controlled. It opens to a large unfinished area of the basement thru a 4' door opening and seems to stay about 60 degrees year around. My intent was to install a vault type door but that is on hold because of the condensation. I tried running a dehumidifier,but that didn't seem to help and had to be emptied twice a day. I believe spray foam insulation on the ceiling is the only fix but I have been shocked at how much that costs. Wingshooter should consider this problem and plan for it.
-
do you have any problem with condensation under the porch? We have almost the exact same thing and in cold weather it rains from condensation on the ceiling.

I built a percussion rifle kit about 45 years ago. Long ago forgot the brand. Seems like I bought a couple of files and chisels. Overall not really difficult just need to go slow. I got in a hurry at the end and the barrel finish didn't turn out real good but I learned to ignore that. Last time I shot it it still shoots good

Freedom Munitions has 1,000 rounds IGMAN 5.56 M193 55GR FMJ for $309.00 no shipping, no tax -
Agree with that. If I ever had the money for a full auto it would be a BAR

I think Ricks group could have easily defeated Nagan. He walks right up to the gate with his henchmen in a cluster behind him. 2 or 3 gunman inside the gate, 2 on the walls and a couple in the woods in hardened positions. Negan is the first to go, the others are in a crossfire. Without their leader and dropping like flies the saviors would lose the will to fight

Just wish they would use some grease

That she does. Doubt it will stick though.

There will be no accountability for Hitllary. She is the goddess of the low information voter

When Hillary's supremes ban your guns. Now I don't expect anyone to say on a public forum but we better start thinking about it. I think I would dump them in the river before I would turn them in

He has a right to say and do what he did. I also have the right to not like what he did

Seems like AMT shows up in a lot of these posts

A 686 stainless snubby with a really sweet trigger. A single action Ruger 3 screw and a 10" contender. Used to have a 357 Desert Eagle that was a blast to shoot but useless as tits on a boar hog. Sold it to finance my first ar-15
