Milsurp Gods have been kind (wife not so much)
This was kind of a July/August purchase, AC41 P38 with matching magazine

And then I was fortunate to have this matching original DUV41 K98 offered to me

Thanks only to the previous owners, we were able to trace it back to a vet from the RHLI, but unknown where and how he had aquired it, whether it is a bringback or something he bought postwar, we'll never know. I know I am fortunate to have it.
And it looks good with it's matching brothers

Thanks for looking

Nice rifle Skirsons... what year and code?

Looks like someone buggered around with the stock, but it's pretty otherwise...

Just received a nice 1945 Remington-Rand M1911A1 from Ellwood Epps.

Also, it's not really an August purchase, but last month I got a Snider-Enfield Mk.III cavalry carbine as part of a deal I got screwed on. I ended up cannibalising a rifle to make it worth keeping, but here it is.

Good shot Tristanium!
Now you have the son of the Ljungmann too. Need a gas regulator key?
Just stay away from Turkish 8mm. ammo with that one.
For reloads, stay with medium burning powders and 155 gr. bullets.
PP.

I bought a Savage Mk2 F .22LR. Very pleased with it. Dumped 150 rounds through it Saturday, and another 300 on Sunday. 2 FTFs, and no problems. VERY accurate. Going to be getting a scope and bipod for it this weekend at the gunshow.

Yeah that's a great milsurp.

 

[Infantry-Soldier]

Ops, sorry... Kinda didn't pay attention to that one!... I'll delete it.

 

[Recce21]

[Vimy Ridge]

Yeah that's a great milsurp.

Seems to happen a lot in the monthly purchase threads, so don't feel bad I-S. Maybe the OTHER forums need to start their OWN monthly purchase threads... us milsurp guys have all the good ideas.

 

[Infantry-Soldier]

Yea, I just had a case of too much browsing/reading and forgetting which forum I was in... I think it's a neat idea though.

Here is a 8L series FNC1 dewat I bought off the EE last week.

It had a couple pleasant surprises. First, it was not OPP marked like so many of the 8Ls out there. Oddly enough it did not have the CAL inspector mark on it either. It also had the earlier one piece front sight block with non-removable sight guard ears.

The serial number seemed familiar. A quick check of Blake Stevens early book "North American FALs" showed this serial number on an invoice to some DCRA shooters back in May of 1972.

There is a photo of this rifle's older brother, 8L5011 in the book, which also is lacking the inspector marks.

Rifle needs a little cleanup in a few spots, but I am happy with it. This will be my third C1A1. I need several to display all the various scopes and accessories for these rifles.

Don't worry mate, you'll never need to justify having multiples of the same rifle to us

Nice rifle
