Hello CGN,

Well tis the New Year, and all through the land, not a milsurp owner was bragging... dear oh dear. Time to restart a tradition methinks!

As the first post for this forum, I put up my newest acquisition, a Bulgarian 1903 Contract Steyr M95M in Full Military Stocking - VG Condition (8mm Mauser Chambering)

The wood has seen her test of time but the bore is in excellent condition, shiny with strong rifling!

Let the pictures and bragging commence!

Cheers, let's see what else the wonderful forum body has purchased! Oh and let's amalgamate those stickies into a folder saying "stickies", mama mia!
 
It just followed me home I swear.

So I went to a local gun shop today and out of the bunch of military rifles that he had, I couldn't leave this there for someone who didn't know what it was to ruin it. The shop owner didn't even now what it was. He just thought it was another mosin. As it is I told him that the sportered M17 he had was actually a P14.

Finnish M91
’42 Tikka rebarrel, re-used Russian stock, Russian barleycorn front sight, late Russian barrel bands w/band retaining screw, small aluminum rivets on handguard, bolt matched at refurb. EDTI:I was just doing some research and found out that the receiver is either a Remington or a Westinghouse one. Any help here?

The inside of the stock looks very good, as does the bore. The pictures were taken as soon as I got home. Since then I've cleaned it up and removed the rust. The bolt has a brownish patina to it.

I think I did good.

Here is a poor m/38 swede that I saw too. I think I died a little inside.

Very nice Drachenblut, seldom seen! Serbian or Yugoslavian reworked to 8x57mm. Here's a link to a site that discusses the conversion:

Indeed fugawi. It's the reason I jumped on it, got lucky I suppose according to the response here. Glad I have one now, just like Claven :p After all, it's not fair his pictures are still up on milsurps.com and has been taunting me for years *friendly jab*. To answer Claven, not from Ottawa but from Ontario (Milton I believe)

I aim to collect more of these, next up for later this year is a Steyr M95M in full military and a Budapest M95M, hopefully. Already have a light load for them:
150gr spire point boat tails ontop of 43.5 grains of H335 powder, PRVI cases and winchester primers, OAL 2.950, pressures rated by Hogdon to be around 37,000 CUP. I'd really like to know what the max pressures are for 8X50R Austrian ammo, can anyone help out?

Sorry he didn't. All he had was an MN91/30 that came from the same fellow as the M91, 2x sporter enfields (one is restorable condition, one professionaly done one), sporter P14, and that swede. No the MN91/30 was not a Finnish one, believe me I looked very closely after I realized the M91 was.
 
I've already posted these guns in separate threads but I thought I'd list them here, adding December purchases to.

January purchases: (my wife and I went a little crazy!)

574FA2E0-D3D4-462A-BC3D-BDEFA4357988-137-0000008D7E8CEAAA.jpg


It all started at the Brandon gun show where SKS' were on sale at Jobrook and then I found the Ross for so cheap it may as well have been free! The longbranch was by accident last weekend, my wife told me that we need a longbranch (how can one argue with such logic) so we went to have a look, not exactly a common gun for sale locally. It's in great shape so once again I couldn't say no. The Turk Mauser was an impulse buy, didn't plan on getting into mauser's but I viewed a thread with it, after reading Smellies account of what a Turk Mauser could have been through and how well they can shoot, I had to grab it.
Think I'm done buying for awhile, I didn't spend too much but I think I have enough guns for awhile!
 
seeing the turkish mauser tread this month made me really want one so i had to buy one, it has only 1 problem though the guy bent the bolt :( i may try to bend it back if i can( let me no if it possible ) but its dated 1940 and in amazing shape, bore looks great and its all shiny, and it came with a bayonet , i got the gun with a bayonet for a great price :) so i am very happy
