I've been meaning to take some pics and post them here for some time, and I finally got around to it this afternoon.
I'll start with the least-milsurp-ish one, but I can't own the real thing so this'll have to do. It's a Colt Sporter match HBAR AR-15, which I've built into an early M16 look-alike with slab side upper, triangular handguards, three prong flash hider, 20/5 round mag, etc.
Colt 1892 US Army, shipped in 1893 according to the Colt letter, sent to a previous owner in 1971!
Colt M1911 US Army circa 1918. This one was in very sad shape so I had it reblued, installed an aftermarket barrel so I wouldn't damage the original HP barrel with the occasional shoot, and put on a new set of grips.
A Belgian-made, Nazi marked FN Hi-Power.
Springfield M1 Garand, it's a post war refurb with a '46 dated barrel and some parts correct for earlier springfields, but shoots very well.
Inland M1 Carbine, this one was arsenal rebuilt as well, but still retains an Inland 1944 dated barrel which I assume to be original to the gun. I shot this in the EOHC milsurp shoot yesterday.
May 1945 Jungle Carbine
Post war 1955 No4 Mk2. This is probably my best shooter here, I can hold a 2-2.5" group at 100m with the iron sights with this one.
And my '43 Long Branch RCAF marked No4 Mk1. It doesn't group as well as my Mk2, but I'll try some different ammo and see if it improves.
