I recently stumbled upon your channel (thanks to the YT algorithm). Great, detailed content. Keep up the nice work! I have a video dropping today highlighting smaller channels, but unfortunately I didn't see yours in time to shout it out (I would have though).
At 18:43 you can see what appears to be a -0.5 on the bottom of the receiver and a +0.5 on the bottom of the barrel. This apparently has something to do with headspacing. Mine are stamped -1 and +1. If you ever need to rebarrel one those numerals are supposed to match, one positive one negative
Everytime when someone ask what is most important tool you have in workshop, people say this screwdriver, that drill, that plyers etc. They all wrong. Most important tool in any workshop is... paper towels and old rag :D They can clean car parts, gun parts, floor, hands, everything :D
I've recently got to taking mine apart, and it's rough hahaha. For one, the front barrel band seems to be soldered on, with what appears to be poured molten metal into the screw slot. This is also present on one of the screw slings and the volley sight. I have no clue how to get that off XD. The stock is cracked but is complete, and the wood is in overall good condition. Probably not gonna be able to take mine fully apart.
@@rakumprojects Unfortunately a large portion of the whatever molten metal they poured also ended up above the hole and on the band itself, where the screw head would be. I've been trying to whittle that away but to no avail. I can't even see where the original hole was yet. I'll try drilling through the back end and seeing if I can make any progress. Additionally the inner most barrel band is missing its screw and, while loose, was just hammered into shape around the barrel itself. Absolute garbage rod LMFAO. It's ironic because the Vetterli I got is in excellent condition, even still having a piece of the original sling attached.
@@rakumprojects I WAS able to get it out finally. Ironically the back barrel band was even more difficult to get off lol. But that gave way too with a block of wood and a rubber mallet. Crusty gun! But I can finally start cleaning it properly haha
Clips are available on ebay or various other sites. M95 clips are the common name for them. For cleaning this rifle I used WD-40 to remove the old grease. But any degreaser will work.
Hey boss I don’t know if you’ll respond to this or not since the video is quite old now I’ve taken my assembly apart cleaned it and now I can’t get it to line up properly guaranteed I’m probably doing something wrong but I tried for two hours last night which is probably where I went wrong because it was 12:30 at night by the time I went to bed
@@christopherg7442 In mine the spring didn't have any tension on it when the follower was up, making it easy to assemble. Maybe yours needs some persuasion to seat properly. The short leg of the spring rests on the opening in the magazine body and the longer leg fits against the notch in the follower arm.
I’m trying to disassemble mine but I can’t get any of the screws out and I think I might round them off if I try to hard. I’m open to ideas if anyone’s got any.
There's really not any rust on any of the parts. If there was any the Ethiopians took care of it by wire wheeling. If any comes back I'll boil and convert it.
Interesting video, as a great grand-son of a Magyar soldier, I love it when people examine the arms of the dual monarchy! Thankyou
This kind of thing is very satisfying to watch, thanks for taking the time to film it all!
Keep this up right here it fills both firearms knowledge and ASMR, keep it up great job
Thank you. Great video. It’ll be helpful when I do likewise to Mine. Let us know where you find a safety lever.
Thanks! Gun Parts Corp (Numrich) has the safety lever in stock right now. Part #503960
Awesome video! Great reference for my cleanup

Thanks! I'll give your video a watch when it drops, I'm always on the look out for new channels as well

I never noticed. Thanks for the info!

That's unfortunate. Maybe you could try drilling through the screw holes? Or grind new slots

@@scottkrafft6830 Gotta hand it to them, the Ethiopians sure are crafty

@@scottkrafft6830 That's good you got it apart. You never know whats lurking inside these old guns.
I'm curious, do you ever use an ultrasonic on your stuff? If not why not?
I don't have one yet. It's on the list to buy as I hear they're very useful
Where can I find the clips and what the name for the clip also what oil did you use and where did you get them for cleaning it

What parts are you having trouble aligning?
The follower and the spring I can’t seem to get it to seat properly

@@rakumprojects I believe your right it only needs to move just a sliver up and it would seat properly

Make sure the slots are cleaned out of any gunk. Use a well fitting parallel ground screwdriver. Maybe apply penetrating oil if they're still stuck.
@@rakumprojects Thanks for the tip.
Could have tried boiling the parts?
