C&R Addiction reboot

I've been away from the C&R collection for a few years getting things straight in my life but I'm back. In the past year Ive picked up a few sporters to restore to pass my time and spend my money on.

My latest project is a 1940 337 K98. Its was in a gaudy sporterized laminated stock. I still have the brass medallions he embedded into the stock and from the brass medallions it was acquired in Italy in 1945. Normally you see a four digit serial with a letter suffix. I'm not kidding when I say it's a low serial number rifle. SN# is 55. And to drive the restoration on it's also all matching. All I need is a laminated stock kit and possibly a bayonet to finish restoring the rifle.

Other projects in the works:
3/19 Springfield 1903 Mark 1
1935 S/42G K98
1940 Mas36

I've been waiting on the right mas36 to come around. post pictures of your progress?

Here are a few pic. I'm trying to find a milled front sight band....

The serial puts it around June of 1940.

I found pics of my $99 MAS36.

$99 ! You must of been in the right place at the right time !! I love shooting mine . The way the French sighted them in is pretty cool . If you ain't heard about it check it out .

A store was going out of business and started to discount their inventory. I originally went to get a M39 Mosin. But with a few moments of haggling I walked out with both. BTW I paid $400 for the M39

Well I am a nut 91/30 I got in bad condition so I restored it, so of course I had to buy the M44 Then I got a Steyr M95 Full Version then found a Budapest Carbine M95 need some attention got it to shooter grade like the others, Well then I ah just had to have a 6.5 Japanese Type 38, And Don`t ya know I am on the look out for the 7mm Japanese as well. Addiction eh I could be doing so much worse.

I prefer to spend my money on guns, liquor, and women. Everything else is just wasted.

Definately worse things to spend your money on, and considering recently I only buy if I see a deal (and as such don't really know what my next purchase is) you don't lose money that way.

If you delete the women, you'd have heaps more to spend.

But life isn't as much fun without the women.

1000% but just like guns there is something about them that keeps drawing me back...
