That's what I do as well, but Mausers are my specialty.

I have another 40 pieces, mostly the major German and American rifles and pistols of WW1+2. I also have All the major American black powder antiques; M95, M16, M42, M61, etc.

Sold off a quarter of my collection this summer to refocus on my primary interest in Mausers, especially the K98k. Excluding the Gew88 and 98s, I have:
1917 Erfurt Kar98a, matched
1925 VZ24...
I have its cousin; a matching German made svwMB in the c-block. Mine is not in the
Kriegsmodel form as it was made using a left over Sauer stock.
The French made use of the Mauser plant,...
K43. qve45 d-block. Stock is also a d-block ZF-43 marked. I have verbal provenance from the vet to me (three times removed); this is the way it came back.

I've been selling off my fringe pieces to concentrate on my German Mausers.
I have added the following recently to my collection. I'm now looking for a DOU, Erma, Borsigwalde, and BSW to complete...
That one has certainly been through the works.

I've been looking for a German depot reworked VZ24 for quite a while now; about 7 or 8 years. Finally found one last week. There is no depot mark as such, so for the time being I'll 'assume' HZw...
Have no idea; patina on hammer matches rest of the revolver.

The stars were aligned just right for this; something that almost never happens for me. I'm due, I think. I missed this one on GunBoards by about a half hour. I posted "Nuts, missed it. What was the...
The ejector that came was the later, longer type. The search continues for a short, early style.

I did take a Dremel to a Carcano clip for an 8mm 38/43 T.S. It worked, but not well. I sold it to get this one.

The extractor goes through the bolt head. The one that came today is too long.
T
I disassembled it and put it back together - the tang remains high. Maybe the tang splice is too low? First shot last weekend broke the extractor. I've one on the way now. On the third shot, the...
The M91 could have served with my M70/87/15 Vetterli (1916 conversion of an 1884 Brescia).
T
I picked this up last week, an 1897 M1891 Carcano rifle. I had missed out on a nicer one at nearly twice the price, but as we like to say, this one screams 'been there, done that.' I sold my 1944...
I didn't see a Swedish forum, but I also picked up a M42B this month. You really need to know where your thumb is at all times.

The last hurrah for 2015. M1917 Smith and Wesson; serial number dates it to May of 1918 - early enough to have been 'over there'. I assume finish is a re-arsenal Parkerized, about 95%, bore is very...
Went to the post office to claim my yellow tag.
AC41 (July) P38, 90%, presentation case, two e359 proofed magazines
Mauser HSc (January 1943), 97%, e135 Army proof, have a second magazine in my...
Picked this up today from another forum member. About 85%, bore is good and grips are excellent. I think the .380 is one of the harder pieces to find of the Colt family. Now I need the 1908 .25 to...
Looks much nicer in natural light.

I love my '34 and '35 Berettas. The '35 was my carry piece until I got the '34 last year. The '35 is an Air Force 1939 with capture papers, and the '34 is a 1936 with the Army Proof. Both are full...
Drove up to NH today to pick up a M1900 Browning I won with a mail in bid on Sunday's Amoskeag auction. I missed the M1900 I a year back that I let go to fund another project. Serial number dates the...
Or thermite!

Found one of the Minnies.
