Well choices choices!!!
Since this picture was taken my "accumulation" has grown by about a third, to include the #1mk3 that showed up in the mail last week and another 1919.
Also have three PPS 43's I am converting to SA, a PPsH41, a couple more AK's.
A few Stens of different flavors and looking to pick up a MK1 and a MK2 Bren kits next month, am in the process of milling out a new receiver for my 1928 Thompson kit while contemplating how I want to convert it over to semi.

Not to mention ammo hording of all flavors LOL

Hi Dan,

do you need a son, dont you? What kind of wood is on the lighter M1 Garand? It looks good.

Regards

Thats one sweet maple stock from DGR
Paid almost as much for it as the H&R that is sitting in it but well worth the dough

Thanks, and yeah, I am thinking about picking up some Garands, hopefully that will fill that hulking gap in my accumulation

I like most all milsurp, I do have quite an interest in Finnish, Russian, and Spanish Civil War used arms.
And here in Texas we have almost no restrictions other than Federal.

Right now I'm collecting Finnish weapons, mostly Mosin Nagants but I do hope to p/u a Lahti L35 and a Finn Luger. A fellow that's from where I live has a SA marked CZ 38 that I'm very envious of (as he actually bought it from another collector for a very good price here where I live).

I'm waiting for a Canadian made Suomi. There are a few deactivated ones here for sale in Canada but I really don't like deactivated firearms. I want to shoot them.

I also have representative WW2 firearms for USA, Soviet Union, Sweden. I'm trying to collect an issued semi auto battle rifle, issued bolt action rifle and issued sidearm from each. I'm only interested in the countries that actually fielded semi auto battle rifles.

German weapons are waayyy too expensive for me right now to have any other than a K98. And its a mixmaster.

Trouble is I hunt too so money is getting diverted from just collecting. Oh well

So far, I have four Mosin Nagants: 3 M91/30's and and M44. And a Yugo Mauser M48. The Yugo Mauser is my most recent acquisition and I really like the difference between the Mauser and the MN's. I will probably next seek to expand my Mosin Nagant collection with an M38. Five new rifles in 2 + months! Had to sell a couple of modern handguns in order to jump into the game and I am really enjoying the difference between collectible milsurps versus the sameness of modern semi-auto handguns. I'm really glad to have discovered this site along with some other collector sites.

I have bought a Springfield Garand about 23 years ago, a Quality Hardware .30 carbine, about 20 yrs ago, but didn't start to collect milsurp till last year. In the last year I have aquired a Tula Mosin 91/30, Ishevesk Ex-sniper 91/30, Swiss K-31,Ishapore Lee Enfield 1918 No.1 MkIII, and a Ishevesk M-44/
