Today’s relevance, is always seasoned with the past; otherwise it’s a fools game. When you live long enough you relish both. See, I can do that too Best Regards Rod

Try Vertx bags. I sent one to my son when he deployed to Germany. A little pricey but a very discreet bag for firearms and EDC Vertx Regards Rod

I may be the odd ball here, but I stopped carrying a range bag nearly 30 years ago. I’ve adopted an evolving “range box” system over the years that keeps everything well organized and quasi weather proof. Depending my range objective for that day, dialing in rifle, handgun, indoors, outdoors or teaching gun classes; I can tailor the box system to fit the needs for the day. My go to box style right now is either the Craftsman or Stanley rolling chest. I’ve used both; but the craftsman is slightly larger. I’m starting to play with the Dewalt rolling Tough system; it shows real promise if I want to streamline things a bit. I went this direction when my boys were much younger, it allowed me to pack everything in one place, strap the rifles to the box, leaving me one free hand to “herd the cats” so to speak The idea, was conceived many years ago when I started shooting high power matches(before kids) to qualify for purchasing a CMP Garand back in the day. It’s been evolving ever since. Hope someone finds this helpful! Best Regards Rod

Amen to that! I acquired a mint, unissued Tula Arsenal SKS for $80 from my brother back then. Came with a SKS sling, oil can and chamber brush He bought 2 crates of Russian SKS rifles back in the early 90’s. They were Christmas gifts for his men who worked in his construction company. One of the younger men actually cried when he held the Tula rifle in his hands. Told my brother this was the first rifle he had ever owned because he grew up in a very poor home. My brother later told me the kid took his first ever deer on a hunt with one of his supervisors. Good times in the good ole days

If I May ask, what’s your intended use for the rifle? $300 or less for a milsurp rifle is going to get you a firearm that is probably de-milled(US milsurp) or even worse, a rifle that is so unserviceable or damaged, that it will be dangerous to fire. If it’s a wall hanger or prop, you’ll be gtg. However, If you plan to use it, that will require a few more Benjamin’s. Mosin Nagants have historically been the least expensive of the last century bolt actions, but now they are hard to find for less than $500 YMMV Best Regards Rod

My suggestion, would be to set up at the Safari Club International convention on their stop in Nashville; February 2026. My brother flies in from Kansas City every year to attend. Those are the customers you want. Anyone who’ll drop 20k+ for a hunt, will readily spend a couple hundred on good quality leather. YMMV SCI Nashville 2026 Best Regards Rod

Sorry guys the rifle sold the first day, should have replied sooner. I priced it to sell, so no surprise in the interest. Thanks for the looks and comments. Best Regards Rod

For sale is a near mint, lever action Winchester m94 45 Colt. Trails End, octagon barrel with angle eject receiver. Made in the USA. I purchased the rifle new, in the early 2000’s just before the New Haven plant closed. It stayed in the box until a few months ago. I’ve put maybe, 25 rounds thru it. It comes with the original box, promotional literature, and a side mounted hammer spur for scope use. All came with the original purchase. I’m also including a set of original Winchester scope mounts. Asking $1000 OBO *SOLD*

I just put a Leupold 2-7x33 VX Freedom on my m94. It was manufactured in early 2000’s.(EDIT) The receiver was drilled and tapped for mounts. I purchased the mounts at Midwest Gunworks. Genuine Winchester if your receiver is set up from the factory for a scope, the hammer should have hole drilled and tapped for a side hammer spur. If it has been misplaced, you can get it from Midwest as well. Tap the link below. Midwest Gunworks Hope this helps Best Regards Rod *EDIT* had to fix the approximate manufacture date. FYI just sold the rifle to a member here in the Trading Post

here you go: Carlson's mag extension

this is what you want, Nordic Components . Follow the fit guide and then select the appropriate nut and extension kit. Regards Rod

Glock 19 w/ extra mag Mikov Predator Auto Lever lock Surefire E2T-MV Tactician This is what I carry on my person every day for personal defense. My daily driver has another EDC.... The Zippo stays in the pocket of my M65 field jacket along with a Ranger Silva compass; which is always in the back seat of my truck. the 870 Tac14 and battle belt are covered by the M65. When tensions are high and riots are imminent, the shotgun and belt are replaced with my AR and load bearing vest/plate carrier. Depends on what Defcon we're on. Sorry for the edit....... But this what I carry every day Best regards Rod

Take all of it with a grain of salt; and beware, there are a lot of fakes. A barrel can be stamped to match a receiver at a later date; as well as proof marks. When I first got into mausers, there was a lot of that going on with M98's and K98's; as well as 03 Springfield's. Most were intentional chicanery and some, unintentionally misleading. Lot's of receivers were recycled post war by Mauser and given new life in the commercial market with matching serial numbers. Could have also been done by a smaller export company or a gunsmith; your rebore seems to suggest one of the scenario's. At the very least it may have started as an original commercial mauser as you suspect, but has received embellishments over the years. It's one of the reasons I honed in on the Swedish Mausers. The Swedes were very meticulous in the mfg of their rifles and subsequent, freakishly straight S/N's and proof marks. It's really hard to fake a Swede. All that aside it's a fine looking curio and relic, and tells a great story regarding gun ownership in post war Germany and Europe. What better historical document than an actual rifle from that era. FWIW, the truth is, the Elk won't know the difference, and that's all that really matters Good luck, I hope you get it figured out. Best Regards Rod
