I'll Show You Mine If You'll Show Me Yours (Part Deux)

Ignoring the fact that one of the larger collections in this thread belongs to a Kiwi

Well lets hope he aint related to the David Grey family.

Lol that's pretty lame, but I bet you could do better than that.

edit: for the non-Kiwi's here, David Grey was a social outcast that went on a killing spree in the early 1990's with a Ruger 10/22. He was the 2nd (of two) "amok killings" in New Zealand's History. After he was taken down by the police, a Chinese AK-47 clone was found in his posession and the media latched on to this resulting in a tightening of the laws on "military style semi-automatics".

 

[Zoring]

Could be worse though bas, least they didn't ban them outright, which of course happily ignores the fact (much like David Gray) that our nutjob Martin Bryant was using 2 highly illegal automatic weapons, a AR-15 and a SLR L1A1. Sigh.

In lighter news here's my new gun a Swp45 (in an early war stock go figure) Mauser, yucky winter triggerguard replacement is already en-route.



also refurbed it, cause it was basically pitch black before:

[Tak]

Ahhh M44s, what a handy gun.


Nice swiss collection you've got going there You have those swiss 'chargers' (they're fancy stripper clips ) to fill the ammo pouches with too?

Steyr M95, made in 1917. All matching except the bolt. It has no import mark. I have about 500 rounds of pre-WWII Nazi marked ammo coming in for this rifle. I'll post pics of the ammo when it comes in. Thankfully, the ammunition includes the clips. So I won't have to single load it.

Oh, and Tak, if your talking about my Swiss collection. Yes, I have about twelve of those cardboard stripper clips for them.

 

[Tak]

Yeah, those are what I was talking about. I just remember seeing them advertised as 'exclusive' somewhere, and remembering lolling my arse off about it. Every time I see a k31 they pop into my head

I am going to a big end of year shoot this weekend, will take a camera along and get some snaps of action. Maybe even some footage of the Reddog dealing out some of the old rapid independant fire with his SMLE.

Where's the bayonet mount?

 

[The Soup Nazi]

His mauser has no bayonet lug for some odd reason.

 

[Willys-MB]

The late war Kriegs model stock did away with the bayonet lug, cleaning rod hole, and bolt take down disk on the stock among other changes.

Don't have much of a German collection.....stuff is usually overpriced.
K981942 production if I can remember correctly.

Here is a really rare one I found at an estate sale for $50 8) Yes, the bayo and original leather sling came with it too.

This is one of the fews rifles produced in 1919. This goes for any country involved in WW1....there were an extreme amount of surplus rifles already, and a lot of dead soldiers that couldn't use them. Hence, few rifles were made then

 

[[LINE]Urchin]

Here's a really early M91 (1894) ..It still retains the Type I barrel bands.

Some interesting markings on one of my M91's.....

Rifle was manufactured at Ishvesk.....The C denotes Serbia, and the B in a circle is Bulgaria, so this is a WW1 capture. On a side note, the bolt has Austrian capture marks (small "k").

Nice collections guys....I'll post more if you want. Swiss rifles are my #1 passion though (it's in my heritage)

so you bought a M91 with a 91/30 bayonet? i'm guessing it would still be able to be fixed on the rifle but have you got a proper M91 bayo yet?

M91/59 (shortened M91)

Actually, that's a 91/38. Much less common than a 91/59. Also much more valuable.

Congratulations!
