What is your most unusual Milsurp?

What is your most unusual Milsurp? I would have to say mine is my 1862 Extra Korps Gewehr Lorenz updated in the 1870's to the Wanzl breechloading system. 58 rimfire. It was a wall hanger when I bought it from JP

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

That's pretty cool

I don't have anything that odd, I'm afraid.

My Grandpa. We keep him in the basement when company comes over.

That's a pretty cool rifle Oatmeal. Are you able to shoot it at all?

I don't think this qualifies as "unusual", but it's the rarest and most unique milsurp I own:

stevo,
was that 8mm left-handized in a previous life by any chance?

**Oatmeal Savage** · 12-04-2006 02:18 PM

Stevo,

Yes I shoot it regularly, will go out again as soon as this snow is gone. It isn't very accurate but it is fun.

The last Inglis 8mm I saw had sights on both sides!

Being as you had to ask, it obviously ain't yours

Interesting. I've never seen an example like that. Got any pics of it?

Well, it was rather crudely done as I recall....
