hello

hi all,
glad i found this forum. was sorting through my pics folder and found this. i'm pretty sure many here can ID most of these rifles just from this one view? :)

I don't see a Lee-Enfield in there. Ownership of at least one is mandatory to be a member here.;)

Welcome, touhy.:)

you are the second person to have thought they were Ljungmans. but actually they are both german g/k43s. the leftmost is a Walther ac44 G43 with a repro stock. its my shooter.

the right one is a BLM qve45 K43. it's all matching and a safe queen.

please don't my wife how much$ these are. she thinks everything is $99 from Big5.

Ah, in that case, I hate you too. :p :thup:

Very nice rifles. Would you consider doing a pic montage for the Library on the qve45?

wow, thanks for asking. but i'm hardly an expert on the g/k43s. i am learning and have read 'Hitler's Garands' twice! i be happy to do it, but i think some of the guys from the gk forum would be a better reference.

Hello and Welcome.:)

That looks like a nice Finn M39 tucked away in the back right corner of the safe..........I hope it's not a safe queen.

That looks like an exceptional example and we'd love to have it as part of the Library.:thup: Thanks for being willing to do it.

hi bramel,
right on the money:dancingbanana:

its a '43 Sako SKY. beautiful wood and mirror bore. 3" at 100yrds with czech silvertips, but i'm not so good. better ammo and better shooter should do better.

OK, my guesses from left ot right:

-restored Walther G43
-BLM qve45 K43
-pre-1942 K98k
-Pre-1942 K98k refurb
-Either a G33/40 or a VZ24 - hard to tell.
-M91/30 PU sniper
-43 Sako M39
-Tula SVT40

:thup: yup, i knew it wouldnt take long even with such a limited view. both k98s are RC's; the left is a s/42 with a replacement original stock, the right k98 is a 147. both have nice bores and shoot well.
the next one with the white, straight bolt is simply a yugo m24/47. it looked new when i got it with a pristine bore.
the svt is a 41 tula with a naval infantry stock. this stock is thicker than a normal svt stock; more like the avt stock. it has the through-stock points for the sling, rather than swivels. fun to shoot, but knocks loose my hearing muff with each shot :surrender:
