This pic has been handed around the web, so I don't know the origin.
This could be in Afghanistan.
You can tell most of it is AK, but the safety looks like an Enfield or P-14 part.

The Prexis Pl-85 is $2,900, and you have to form and weld the lower receiver yourself.
Also, that price doesn't include any sights.

I had some Greek .303.
Out of all the rounds I fired, one would not chamber.
It has a poorly formed case head.
Right above the rim is a rough band of brass.
It looks a little like the belt you...

Soldiers riding a Sherman tank.
We've got Enfields, a Bren, and, uh-oh, the muzzle of an MP38 (or MP40).
Could it be someone doesn't like Enfields?
This was taken in Holland, Sept. 1944....
I like this pic. Reminds me why I collect Enfields.

I was thinking about a project to alter an AK type rifle into a Galil look-alike.
I was going to keep the 7.62x39 caliber.
What could I do to the rear sight/ gas block to make it look more...

No.5 in Oslo, Norway, May 13, 1945.
Of course, VE day was May 8, 1945.
I'm not able to take pictures right now.
I found a picture of the breech area of a No. 1 rifle. You can see one of the front magazine tabs sticking out in front of the hump on the magazine...
