This is also one of the Russian arsenal rebuilds, with all the usuall markings including the import markings. The reciever cover is dated 1950. It came in an early hardwood stock. This is a good shooter except for extremely heavy trigger pull. A few days ago on the range I was able to keep all the rounds in a four inch circle at 100 yds, off the bench, but I had to really work for it. One of my favorite shooters.

hello... i want no sell a Totenkopfring...

This is one of the Russian arsenal rebuilds that were inported in the late 90s. Interestingly, it is in an ATV-40 stock (for the full auto model). I understand that many of these rebuilds were indeed put in ATV stocks, as they seemed to have a lot of them on hand. Ade or Bill could probably provide more info on that. It has the usual stenciled renumbers and import marks, but it was a chance to pick up a good shootable one at a resonable price. I need to get a gas adjustment tool for it now.

This is actually a parts gun. I selected it out of a barrel full of them in a gunshop in California. It came in a ratty pistol grip stock. The stock on it now I picked up at Rock Island Arsenal when I was attending the National Match Weapons Maintenance Course. It has a slightly counterbored barrel. I understand that in the 50s Army Ordnance had a rebuild program for the Nationalist Chinese on Taiwan. They found that many of the Springfield barrels were actually in good shape except for the muzzel crown where overenthusiastic Chinese soldires had damaged them with improper cleaning. The sollution was to simply couterbore the barrel slightly instead of rebarreling. This one is a great shooter.
The barrel is marked SA 11-26.

Tovarischi;

I am doing restorations on a pair of kaska, as referenced above. The SSh-36 was captured by the Finns, and repainted by them into flat black. The SSch-40 is just plain rusty, and neither is nice looking at the moment.

I want to get them as close to the, or a correct shade for Soviet service as possible.

I know that the SSh-36 tended to be a very dark, almost black, green. What is the best match out there for this color?

As to the SSch-40, that is more the bright green as used during the GPW, so again, I am looking for the best possible match.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Tovarischi;

I am looking for the best award to issue to one of my troopers. He is the HQ section clerk, and has done a superb job, and I wish to recognize his work. Since his work is not of a combat nature, I do not think that that a combat, or battle award is appropriate.

My Troop Commander agrees that this trooper deserves some sort of award, so, I am looking for suggestions as to an appropriate non-combat award to issue.
