That's why I'm dummying up a faux T...only way to be able to afford one...

A Mauser K98 in 8 mm....a bolt action rifle that I can actually operate! I already have a Russian SKS. Wouldn't mind a Ljungman but they're so front heavy.
The All time best MilSurps..The M-1 Garand, followed closely by the M1903 Springfield, pre 1918 vintage.Can't forget the M1898 Krag, the smoothest bolt action around.
Cheers
Sid, I am new to this, dont even know if you will get this, If you do send me an e-mail to lchas_lin@yahoo.com I think I can fix you up. It is minus bayonet though.

L-42A1 with matching WWII converted scope;
Trials No. 4 (T or not)
Envoy
Centaur
L8A3 on a Long Branch body
De Lisle carbine
A shipping container of fresh .303 on chargers, 400 to the can :D

Not one of those junky MP-40's. Wouldn't be seen with one. ;)

One impossible dream : I'd like to get back the first "pre-ban " rifle that I ever owned . It was a #4 Enfield , still in the FTR grease when I got it. I sold it years later , cleaned up --but still in as issued condition. It must have come to the US just before GCA 68 banned military rifle imports.
The second impossible dream , turned into reality: I wanted a VZ58 and had completely given up hope . The OOW US builds were too spendy and the Canadian VZ58's couldn't be imported. The almost 2 years ago the AK forum (.net) started a double group buy: 2 different companies a few months apart.
I coveted one of those for a long time.
The Canadians can get some goodies that we can't. And vise versa. I still want an Italian made Garand with the Dane crest.
I have one more. But for that i need Harlan`s help. I love that warbird but i am not a pilot!!! :crying:
