The IDF "Collection Houses" in Yaffo (Jaffa) would be your best bet. Can't recall if I ever saw one there (different priorities at that time), but they should have a British example, at least.
That source is so esoteric that it verges on the useless. That 'meaning' never would have made the leap from a rabbinical seminary to an armorer.
"One of meanings of this letter is "Life or death""
Where did you get that from?!?!?
I speak and read Hebrew, and I don't see any Tof there.
I'd try to make contact once or twice a month for 6 months, and then try to resell it. If successful, I would offer him his money back. If no contact...you make twice the price.
Looks like a .22.
@Blimey...
That doesn't look like any Hebrew letter of IDF marking to me.
Cheers.
The scope is 100% Israeli, but I can't be 100% with the Magen Davids on the ring or body of the rifle itself. If you look closely, you can see that the 'star' on the scope tube is a bit neater than...
Definitely an historical milsurp. I really enjoy shooting mine, but they aren't 'tack-drivers'. As posted above, the last of the military bolt-actions...even if they never really got to their...
I'd be very interested to know what you have. If you PM me an email I will send you my "Known Tokarevs" and Mauser lists to help you identify and document.
Your "Interarms" box has 1948-51 Soviet surplus 7.62 Tokarev ammo in it...your decision on whether to call it 'Tokarev' or 'Mauser'. The Finnish boxes are interesting. They are repacks of often...
I love my G43 too. Great on the range and to just look at. My wood doesn't number match, but all the metal does. I mounted a Soviet PU scope on mine. Really happy with the results, and I'm sure the...
Thanks, but exactly one year from now I'm jumping ship...YAY!!!
We do have an NJROTC air rifle team, but I don't think they do too much. I tried for years to have Gun Safety added to the Health...
Congrats!
I wish we had a rifle team. Pretty rural district (OJR), but still too close to Philly.
A few years ago I had a full bandolier of the clips and ammo. I believe it had come out of the South African trials.
Some of my early and interesting .303s are ball and blank MAXIM 1895 and dummy R^L 9 2 0 (1890),
FYI; All my .45 ACP revolvers get my calm reloads.
For the full joyful experience, you need both Smith and Colt 1917s, and a shaved MkVI Enfield.
Correct.
It looks very......"functional"?
For the past 3 or 4 years. We started 27 years ago at the Denver Holiday Inn and bounced for a bit in and our of the Morgantown HI.
Be sure to stop in and say hello. And if you have any old ammo you...
Hope to see some of you there!

Awesome shooters, you will enjoy it. Get a few extra mags to load at home as they are a real barn-stitch to load. I got one for a great price a good few years back, but foolishly sold it to fund a...
And a joyous Kwanza to you and yours!
