Then there's National Guard Armory – Konawa OK.
I already knew that, recognized the rifle as Chinese as soon as I saw the pic.
Nicely done...
Would be a nice piece to stumble across. Can't be many out there.

I wonder where this comin' ashore is then? Exactly...
Operation Torch?
I think that whole procedure went the way of the Do-do as war went on, many were captured just run out of gas.
Very nice, now about 500 rds and wear some of the blue off again...warm it up.
I have a few stories about that myself.
There's that single slot gas cylinder lock screw...!
I'm looking at the anti tank launcher. I thought it was a 75mm but the pic says it's a 57mm. Looks too big for the 57...

I can't see anything...
My first was a Russian with blade and laminate stock, bought in about 1986 or '87. Ammo was scarce and when I got some it was all boxer so I started loading it. They were a scarce rifle then,...
I thought so...most warring nations have had their share of them.
Sure, I suppose. But they SAY they came from Ethiopia...anyway, you may have to take them to a gunshow and try a few odd rifles.
I spent a long time in the infantry and saw all kinds of things happen, everything you handle is steel or heavy. When you handle several weapons at once or have them loaded together damage can...
You don't suppose this an accidental damage that has happened in the hundred odd years since it was made? Just an accidental smash that has left this mark? It just happened to have crossed the "W"?
Santa Monica...I've been there...
