oh wow the ebay seller i got the $30 kahles from has an HK94 pre-AWB trigger housing in a lot of random shit

i <3 my Malaysian housing so not buying it if any1 wants its $25rn incl random other stuff and HK parts wants $200 for them lol

yesssssss this is gonna really work

drilling + tapping receiver is the next big task, and i got to position it just right so this scope fits still. other has the claws on a rail.

kinda hate the front sight base on Mauser español. Its got a weird 7/16in dovetail for the post and its sitting tilted which would fuck up a globe.

And the checkering i did myself with a file, it was ugly jeweled.

German claw metal prints just arrived and they turned out perfect.

Gotta hand fit everything but thats expected. Forgot to cut 1 screw hole when i set the files but i can just drill it lol

went autism mode on mp5 ultradot config

>vertical split rings for aesthetics, airbrushed them a touch lighter + weathered.
>didnt like hard white on ultradot, so i smudged black marker over 4-Dot text and repainted dial position dots a warmer shade. with a tiny brush.

funny enough it looks exactly like this gun the first poster was trying to say wasnt bannerman.

perhaps i should clone it even if its basic. Just with my rear sightless upper handguard i carved.

AHAaaa that looks pretty damn basic lol

tragically basic, looks like any old sporter. Also i dont see the finger grooves supposedly mentioned in the 1903 catalog. I'm also not sure where youd cut them in a straight stock.

oh shid, bannerman sporterized some of the Spanish american war captures.

Struggling to find a pic but for my potentially bannerman Mauser español it'd be the perfect look to clone

was considering full sporter but idk i like the mauser look.

Something like first pic could work, its a normal m96 with the stock cut like a cg63.

FUCk it. Gonna order a 2nd chilean mauser stock while apex still has em cheap.

i hate that the swedish stock on mauser español bothers me, things a frankenmauser sporter.... i just want it to look spanish (and chilean stocks are identical)

ULTRADOT status moved from walther OSP to mp5 (with the old Airsoft claw i was using on g3 before going SG1 clone mode)

✈︎▊▊ HAPPY 9/11 ✈︎▊▊

something cheap and beat up will work too

if im gonna for real get a Glock 42 i should put the time in to find a sus crime gun

my astra cub build with the obliterated serial slide needs company

my scope buying spree is joever i would only buy something I'd want on mp5 or a sub-4x or 8x+ as additional German claw scopes

if any of u want the scope they put on Mauser 22 trainers... the case + caps are worth $100 alone

well damn the ocular bell unscrews super ez.

i may actually be able to clean this thing up. Along with the weaver im getting the feeling German scopes are just fiddly little shits (despite requiring full strip to solder mounts).

If you try to ignore the extreme cloudiness, glass clarity is straight up better than my 80s Simmons.

but god the tradeoff they made on all of this is that fucking eyebox, i dont think ill ever mount it. Could clean it up and sell it but its a cool scope ngl

i dont know when this pan-tech ad is from but if its 50s or 60s then its about a fifth the price of my nice kahles

not bad really, its god awful with the worst eyebox ive looked through but Jesus Christ i paid $1 for a trashed rusty example and it still works.

Its at the tier where it looks good unless youre A/B testing but the s&b 6x and kahles 4x i literally cannot tell the difference in glass quality, both are better than my eyes

ok looking outside the window from an angle i can actually see shit better, Bausch & Lomb glass is a step down from the Austro-germanics (kahles, s&b, zeiss)

Bit less light transmission and a subtle tint, i rank it as just below the (30yrs newer) Russian kronos. Not bad.

Not as uber sharp as the German stuff.

Could be dirty lenses or something though, the real problem is the lack of any external adjustments meaning i may never be able to use it lol

$1 mystery scope is a pan-tech Jr and its the worst thing ive looked through in my life lmao

"experimental" Bausch & Lomb 8a shows no signs of being experimental but i paid less than a normal one goes for so. its actually quite good, way brighter than weaver v9 but not as

Also 4 i havent identified yet.

All the stripper clips are burger so i have enough surplus burger to actually shoot it.

FUCKING Shit Loads of 7.62 NATO (200rd portugese not pictured)

new countries are Nigeria, Colombia, Spain, new Zealand and Austria plus repeats of a lot incl. Syrian. Also got another pre-NATO experimental round.

AHA i think its 30 carbine

id sell it if it wasnt 3rd but i doubt its worth the effort lolAHA i think its 30 carbine

id sell it if it wasnt 3rd but i doubt its worth the effort lol

also i dont even know what these are and have a useless single 30-06 at least i think its 30-06

HOLY SHid one mixed lot from local auctions. DWM 7mm mauser, pre-spitzer. Only 2rd but my mausers are both Loewe (renamed DWM in 1896 since Ludwig Loewe was Soros if he owned Raytheon)

Also some 303 British i cant use and was too slow to photograph the bug taste testing

at this point we're long past Napoleon III, if youre an orthodox Marxist the best you can get is a farce of a farce of a farce.

Napoleon took bits of the French rev and made them real, since the soviet revolution all the bits of Marxism that are gonna be real, are real

huge progress on german claw bases.

need to work on looks + make the claws for s&b before ordering metal prints, but its actually functional
