    Picture Posting Practice

    It's a sunny day today and I thought I would let the boys out for some fresh air & sunshine. I'm also practicing picture posting so bear with me if something weird happens. The attached photos are of my military style long guns with their bayonets attached. Starting from the back or top is:

    Turkishicon Mauser 8mm, 1942
    M1891 Argentineicon Mauser
    U.S. M1917 Remington (06-18 barrel) Enfield with Remington bayonet
    No. 4 Mk1*1 Longbranch, 1944
    M1903 Springfield (1934) w/new old stock 08/42 Springfield barrel
    M1icon Garand, June '44 Springfield receiver w/VAR Danishicon barrel
    M1 Carbine, Underwood w/12/43 Underwood barrel

    As money allows I need to get a Russianicon 7.62 x 54, a Carcano, an Arisakaicon & maybe a Frenchie (what did they use?).

    P.S. The M1903 has a 16" bayonet, the Garand has a cut down 10" bayonet.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Man, you got an ARSENAL there.

    Good thing guys like you and I never "Lose It". Of course the anti-gunners think we are all just a blasting cap in the brain from going off the deep end.

    Even though most of us have had guns and ammo for decades ......

    Hey, if I do go off the deep end, I can blame it on being subjected to abuse at Parris Island some 40+ years ago.

    Mosin Nagants are still available at popular prices, don't know about the Carcanos. As to the Frenchicon it depends on your time period. World War 1 the French used the Lebel which was really already at least obselescent, and the Manlicher Berthier which was an improvement but still not really up to the competition. 8 mm ammo for those rifles is becoming quite hard to find. The Mas bolt rifles adopeted right before World War 2, and Mas semi autos adopted right after were good weapons and the ammo is more available.

    Just remember, French bolt guns don't have safetys.

    Cool pictures by the way
