Thanks Will, I'll give that a try then. Now I just need to find some up here in Calgary....

I've also been wondering what everyone does to take care of the metal and wood parts of their prized possessions. I totally get that you don't want to add anything that would not be original to the rifle but what about simply cleaning it to remove dirt and oils that have accumulated or been...

This is quite interesting for an uneducated guy like myself. So what are you guys seeing that make you all so sure it is fake. I'm guessing the fonts for starters but what else are you seeing. I'm not questioning anyone, just real egger to learn!

Hey Guys I'm pretty new here and trying to pick up as much knowledge as I can so I was wondering if I could have your opinion on a couple markings on this K98 that I'm looking at buying. The gun itself looks okay but can anyone comment on what the "starburst" looking stamp is on the barrel? Is...
