This could be fun...if Jim wasn't so darn quick!;)..or such an early riser.
Seriously, though, that German rifle looks very futuristic for its time - especially in the wiki photo. Put an orange glowing tip on the muzzle and I might have guessed a phaser rifle from Star Trek.
It has all the hallmarks of an Accuracy International frame until the butt of course!! I looked particularly at their square watches!!
Any takers on the second one?
It's the Parker Hale .223 Sniper Rifle............never really took offQuote:

Ear protection in WW2..... :lol:Quote:

The 7.92x94 round it fired was a strange round using a small 7.92 projectile but with a large case.
Comparison with a standard 7.92x57 Mauser round.

Roy,
Top of the class only three made by Bremmer Arms on PH takeover. Called the Black Mamba, real shame it didn't at least see the light of day.
Attached a good article on it and some interesting views on how Bremmer Arms shaped up to the challenge!!!
