I will post pics of the QHC that I did purchase as soon as I figure out how to post pics.
Thanks for all the input guys

There's basically two ways to post photos here. One is to upload them to Photobucket or some other host site, and then copy and paste the URL.

The other is to navigate to the photo and upload it here directly. Both ways are fairly easy once to do it a couple of times.

Below are links that go to detailed instruction of each method that we've put together. They are screen prints of each step. At the bottom of each instruction page there is also a .pdf you can download and print if you need to so you can have it beside you at your computer while you're working.

This is the photobucket method -

How do I show pics from Photobucket, Flickr, ImageShack etc. on milsurps.com?


The direct upload method -

How do I upload pictures to my posts for storage on milsurps.com?

Ok I have read the entire thread and I am confused.

Are you all comparing a Bavarian to a blue sky? The remark made was that they were imports.
Yes, technically speaking they are imports, but then, any carbine or garand that came back from the war/europe is an import also, just unmarked

I am not trying to start a controversy, just a clarification.
Bavarian Forestry, Prison guard, Rural Police are [I thought] were Us. issued carbines, from the war, reissued to the Germans and Austrians for use until the ban was lifted

It seems Bue Sky lowers the price, but yet the Bavarians sold at CMP seem to draw a good price, and I think it is much more that just some deep pocket people overpaying for a rifle marked Austrian.

Please help me out and clear this up. I am interested

I have a Underwood Bavarian Forrest Police double marked Tyrol Austrian and consider it in a league of it's own. They saw service long after WWII and Korea just doing what they were meant to do. Neat history makes mine priceless in my eyes.....kind of like my Detroit Police Department Inland. IMHO both are way cool and I like collecting odd balls. Regards, Rick.

Hey, Thumper -

The BLUE SKY imports became the least desirable of all imports, regardless of anything else to do with them, because they almost always stamped a HUGE, DEEP import mark on them as well as re-parking many of them. Sadly, their value diminished just because the import stamp is so noticeable it takes away from the overall appearance of a carbine.

Another thing I've 'heard' but don't know the validity, is some BLUE SKY carbines were stamped so incredibly hard they flattened the barrel enough that when trying to push a bore brush through, it hangs up in the barrel under the stamp -
This doesn't seem overly far fetched to me. I've handled a lot of BLUE SKY carbines and the stamp is so deep it raised area around the edges of the stamped letters so much it almost felt like it could cut your thumb on them.
