I commend your decision Natt. I would not shoot that rifle. I would hang it on the gun rack and show it off. Very nice rifle.

Beautiful rifles. Love the pics you gentlemen posted. I have seen some with rust under the barrel shroud. Something to consider when purchasing an 1888 Commission rifle.
Shadycon you should hurrry and sell it on Ebay. You could make a heck of a profit off it.
Looks fishy. To me it looks like bidder C*****F is doing something called BUMPING. You get a friend to bump up the bids for you then if someone overbids you dont bid anymore. If you notice at...
That is very impressive. I have a few hundred but am not going to set them all up. Keep up the great work.
Umm gee Ive fired all my milsurps after checking them out myself. I took some rifles to my gunsmith at first and he laughed at me. He told me if it has no overt obvious problems (loose bolt,...
Certainly looks like the original finish to me. Got a nice rifle there.
Travis Id say Grampa probably sanded and refinished that stock. Its too bad with an I cut high wood. That would cost some to find a replacement for it.
Everyone else chimed in on the parts you...
Travis does your stock have the crossed cannons on the butt?
It looks like the pic attached.
Yours wouldnt have the box around it or the initials next to it.
My Eddystone P17 is one of my all time favorite rifles to shoot. The heft and the feel of it just makes it a pleasure.
Good job on yours Aragorn243.
You are correct Sir.
These are probably my favorites.
All of them.
You also have to remember if your going to shoot these wonderful rifles, handguns and probably shotguns you will need a heck of a lot of different ammo to do it. Just something else to think about.
Some import marks also carry the official serial number as required by law. Not the original serial number but the one that ATF requires to be able to import it. To remove that number is a Felony. ...
Really nice. Wonder what all the marks on the stock are from.
That looks like one of a kind. Must be worth millions.
Here is what you want to do Neo. Get that Mosin hex. Make sure it is a numbers matching one. Shoot it. If you like it and can stand the recoil then keep collecting. If not maybe Milsurp...
Yes Yoyo its a new semi only Auto Ordiance Tommy gun. I can still empty a 30 round mag in less than 18 seconds on target.
Dayammmmm I like it. I like the rifles that are as close to the battlefield as possible. Id say that one is damm close.
It does look like it was stored in not ideal conditions but still I LIKE IT!...
That is true. 5 safes and finally had to rent a very secure vault to store them.
Yes me too. Started taking the bolt apart by hand before I knew there was a takedown tool for it. Did it a lot and got to be pretty good at it. But when I found out there was a tool to make it a...
Im not saying you do. But when I was a rangemaster I would see FNGs with their M1 Carbines they got from Granpa, or Uncle George that passed, or the local gunshow. They had the habit of trying to...
Here is a few more.
I started about 12 years ago collecting rifles with the intention of getting, learning about, disassembling, repairing, cleaning, reassembling, and shooting every major rifle of WWII.
Along the...
