Thank you Jim, it carries a host of memories for me. My father brought it home when he got out of the Army in '46.
He kept in a drawer it in his desk and as a kid well, it was like a bright, shiny...

As stated in the header yesterday, it is a Cruchon & Emons of Berne Switzerland and just from a cursory look on the internet it appears to be of at least 1918 vintage, though my understanding is that...
Mine was made in Berne, Switzerland. What I do not know is the date it was made. The serial number is: 63372
It was my fathers and he gave it to me before he passed. I have carried it for years...
This is my Winchester. Arsenal rebuild I suspect....there are no stampings on the underside of the stock. Barrel is a 10-17.
I'm inside today and this is what happens when you are, due to...

This is the remaining stampings I could find on it. I assumed at first it was an IBM due to the barrel, but after breaking it down and examining further, the lack of stamps leads me to believe I...
"Twas the day past the fourth, it was quiet and strange...not a bolt was slid back, not a round sent down range."
Best I can do from here in the Northeast outpost where the temps are in the '90's...
Following this post closely because my scope needs repair also. The turrets on my No.32 are frozen and I'd like to get them repaired in the future as well. I was surfing this afternoon on this...
Sorry. I have to post this here because apparently, I don't have certain privileges for posting information about movies etc. Anyway, this is a stunning movie(documentary) about WWI. It has a very...

Just a couple more of it, this time assembled. Could you explain what had been altered on the stock? Looks like probably a metal heel, and I suspect, a strap ran through the buttstock. What I...
I have no idea what kind of Mauser I have here. I think it may have been bubba'd a bit?(the shoulder pad) Obviously, it's a Gew 24T. It has matching numbers on the stock barrel channel and on the...
thanks for your comment
Thanks for all the replies. I'm probably going to be selling this for something else I have my eye on, so appreciate the input.
Thanks for all the replies gents. All the feedback is helpful.
I could use some help on my FN. I think it's a '49(?), but I know nothing else about it. I'm going to post a dozen photos and see what the experts think. Not sure on the crest...Venezuelan? or...
Numbers match on the bolt and dustcover. Last three are 738
yes, it does
ha....I know....am I stupid or what? Not technically gifted....doh
shizz....disregard my 1903 sniper.....holy hell
Thoughts? In order to get buy, sometimes you sell.....which is the case here. Honest assessments and possible prices would be a plus, This is slowly being divested (or not) from my Uncle's estate...
Thanks to all of you for your insight and input. I have some CMP 150 gr. I'm going to run through it a little. Looking forward to hearing it cough.
