The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

papabear, Thanks for sharing the photo and information. I am like you; I like to get the accessories for each rifle. After a while, I was spending too much for multiple accessories, so I slowed down a bit. On the RC rifles I do get the repo slings, cleaning rod, locking screws, and muzzle covers. La...

papabear,

That is not an "accumulation", that is a "Collection"! Wow, that is realy a nice rig you have there.

carguy, I forgot to remove that for the photos, LOL! That is a German, Rubber Muzzle Cover. In approx. 1939-1940, they replaced the steel Muzzle Cover that had the flip-up cover with the Sight Protector that clipped over the front sight. The Rubber Cover was developed for to keep dust, dirt, snow, e...

himmel,

The price sounds about right for gunshops. Do you think you can talk him down to $200 and then you would have a great buy!

nbender, The Phosphate finish is much the same as Parkerizing. If I remember correct, the Parkerizing was a trade name by the inventor. papabear, I had a S&W Victory I bought last year when I was in Washington State, but I traded it to good friend of mine that likes nice revolvers better than I ...

Well, most of you guys know when you get a "wild hair" and I got one; something has to happen........ I found this rifle, and I bought it; Another K98k Mauser RC. Last Tuesday afternoon, I checked Empire Arms website and Dennis Kroh had just listed some new rifles. There was one that appre...

himmel, You did NOT miss anything! Whoever the writer was needs some instructions. First, ANYONE carrying a firearm, needs to have training, and practice a little. If they don't intend to need it, don't want to practice, but still have some type protection, they need a revolver, in my opinion, and i...

himmel, I had one years ago and it was a well made, accurate pistol. Back then I could not afford a Walther PP, but the Astra was priced where I could buy it. I did not shoot it a lot, but everytime I shot it, it fired and placed the bullet near where I was aiming (most of the error was mine and not...

Either the tunmbrest or flat work for me, but I like the looks of the flat grips better......I guess it is more military looking.

volfandan, The finish on the K98k was blued also. The early rifles had a high quality, dull military blue finish with very good polishing on the steel. As the war progressed, and the need to speed up production, the polishing became less and less, but the bluing still pretty good until late in the w...

Norm is right, you can't beat Lyman products! I have Lyman, RCBS and Lee reloading products and each is for my particular purpose. I enjoy reloading a lot! Some folks think it is a "chore" to reload, but for me it is relaxing. I only reload when I am alone, I don't want distractions that c...

I will be thinking of you!!! Fortunantly, I have never had this problem, but my dad did and I had never seen him wince with any pain until he had kidney stones. Fortunantly he passed in while in the hospital. My thoughts really go out to you!!!!

Norm, Thanks for the comment, I think it cleaned up pretty good myself. All I need are the Locking screws and the Front sight Cover. I should pick these up Monday from another friend of mine and it will be complete. The bore shines like a mirror and I think it will shoot well too. As soon as I can g...

I thought I would start a new thread on this one. Attached are some photos of the RC K98k "bnz 43". I posted a few photos of the rifle in as received condition. I finally got the time to finish the clean up this morning and wanted to share the beauty, LOL! Here are photos: http://i34.photo...

Guys, As you know I don't get to the Forum as often as I want due to work, but I had a PM from one of our long time members (he knows who he is) concering a thread he had posted that had gotten deleted. I actually saw the deletion, but thought he had deleted it himself. For some reason, and I don't ...
