You are right on the money. Any gun I take out trekking or hunting gets a nice rubdown with some beeswax on the wood and trigger (keeps rain off it, and makes it really tacky if your fingers start getting cold or slippery) from the aunt's keepery, and then some nice rendered tallow the wife makes on any of the exposed metal parts. Haven't had any issues with water retention causing fouling or rust. And if you render it right, you have no smell to worry about something picking up. Give it a wipe down and a clean when you get home.
That being said, I do take my guns out for an oiling and cleaning every week, regardless of whether they have been shot or not. Mrs. Balls and I make a night of it, usually do up all our boots and leathers the same night too. It's therapeutic.
 
Husqvarna model 46
caliber 9.3x57mm, capacity 5+1
24 inch barrel.
MFG 1927

The model 46 was manufactured using overrun parts for Swedish M1894 small ring Mauser carbines. These sleek little rifles were manufactured in some form or other until 1945. most were made in 9.3x57 but the model 46AN and 46B were made in 9.3x62mm and 6.5x55mm respectively. all models came with fixed open sights as standard from the factory with no prescription for optics, but many of the rifles were later drilled and tapped for scopes in one way or another.

My example was made in the first year of production (1927) and sports a low serial number. It was made as a factory presentation model, but is a bit plain as far as presentation guns go. it has a engraved plaque in the right stock addressed to an unnamed man, born 1887 according to the date inscribed (maybe some famous swedish huntsman or other celebrity? we'll never know.). it has been well used but not abused. Sweat of past owners has worn the blueing off of the magazine floor plate and receiver ring. The bore is like new, mirror bright with no pits. these rifles have very sleek and slender stocks, and almost feel delicate in the hand but in heavy recoiling cartridges like the 9.3's its obviously enough. Barrel band front sling swivel. few markings, just "Husqvarna Vapenfabriks A. B. Kal. 9.3 m. m." engraved in a nice cursive-like script.

As it was a military action it sports a stripper clip guide, and Mauser 98 clips work fine. the open sights are a fixed simple post and notch affair. unfortunately the front sight hood has went missing but that is a common thing. they are easily lost. the bolt like on every other husky i have handled is very smooth.

this was my first time shooting 9.3x57 and i have to say that it was not as bad as it was made out to be. with compressed max load of IMR 4064 the recoil was substantial but more of a push than a kick. I fired 40 rounds and it didn't bother me at all.

The South and Central American countries use the 7mm Spanish Mauser.

I know most of them did, but I'm positive that 7.65mm Mauser moved around some in those parts at least for a while.
What was it now? One of the countries there started out with 7.65mm, but then replaced it with 7mm because they found it was better and it was what all the neighbors were using? It was SOMETHING like that.

I have not heard of the Belgian Mauser, because AFAIK the Belgian used French armaments and calibers.

Some French armaments and calibers were used, some were different. For instance, the Belgians had at least some Chauchat machineguns in 7.65mm Mauser, as opposed to 8mm Lebel.

I'm not, it makes the revolvers nearly impossible to get 😢

Now, next question...... I want a piston driven long stroke rifle, so PSA JAKL it is.

Thought about a short stroke Bren 2 but CZ tax and parts are allegedly..... Rare. Oh and rough teething troubles in gen 1.... No word on gen 2.

14.5 inch pin and weld or 16 inch? Upper receiver is identical, only difference is 1.5 inches of barrel and a permanent muzzle device on the 14.5.... 🤔

Never pin and weld, the 1.5inches is never worth being unable to switch muzzle devices

Radian Weapons has made an unannounced generational change to their Afterburner/Ramjet Compensator Combo. According to the comments it was done to prevent carbon locking when doing high volume shooting

One observation and One question
1. I don't own one but I don't like how the bolt works on the Henry Homesteader. For those unaware Henry decided to only have a small amount of their bolt mass in the receiver itself, the rest of it is housed under the handguard and is connected via two removable bars. Works fine just don't like it.

2. I am pretty sure I didn't imagine this but can't find the video, 4-5 years ago I am pretty sure the TREX Arms youtube channel uploaded a video on a 3D Printed part that Issac Botkin (the Brother, not the Father as he is so often mistaken as of Lucas Botkin) designed that allowed the attachment of a Streamlight TLR7 to a Glock 43X/48 (this was before the TLR-7 Sub). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Is my memory correct?

It looks cool, and I guess you can magwell it to take real mags. I guess the split bolt makes the receiver shorter giving it that Henry look. But I've always struggled for the non-fudd point of the thing.

The bolt looks like a mild maintenance nightmare. If it doesn't significantly improve the recoil impulse, why even do it?

Nice to see some love for curved magazines. Glock sticks look dreadful when not inside a pistolgrip.

This is how Ruger used to do it with their older Police Carbine.

It's more or less like the telescoping bolt on an Uzi or MAC, allows for a shorter receiver and for a gun which is a bit more evenly balanced overall, may or may not allow for slightly milder felt recoil, as well as affecting how hard the bolt bottoms out. Compare to the old Marlin Camp carbines where a synthetic buffer pad was necessary to prevent the bolt from hammering on the rear of the receiver and splitting the wooden stocks.

I like the idea of it, but I don't know how Henry implements it on their carbine.

While on the subject, I feel that the Henry 9mm would look quite a lot nicer with a magwell for taking PPS-43 magazines, don't you? A plastic pistol magazine jutting out the bottom of this kind of gun looks a little unfitting.
 
I ordered a 20 inch Colt upper.

Now should I swap out the handguard for the Magpul or is there a mount that can be placed on the old school handguard.

How did they even mount flash lights on the old school style handguards before quadrails became a thing.

they were made in a time when anything bigger than a one room jungle shack was getting a 500 pound bomb or napalm or 90/105/120/152mm HE shell dropped on it.

room clearing is for McNamara's retards drop a nuke on that fucker.
 
Does anyone know the rifle(?) used in this video of some nog getting killed testing a "bulletproof" magical charm? Best view of the gun is at 1:35:
Video is purportedly from Nigeria in case that helps narrow it down.

I remember watching this video a while back. Looks like its been deleted or hidden(probably for one of YouTube's retarded 3d printing and gun assembly rules). It had to do with a 3d printed part to fit regular sized picatinny mounted handgun lights on the rail of a Glock 43x/48 MOS.

its a break action single shot. could be a rifle or shotgun. very simple gun and thus has been made in some form or fashion by just about every firearms manufacturer. you can see the nig holding it with the action broken open early in the video.

Break action shotgun, likely of engilish or turkish manufacture, probably 12 or 16 gauge.
