I'll open the month with a couple interesting items.
First off is a rather unique G43 magazine, aye, WaAb43, marker G43.
Looks like a modified MG13 25 rounder marked with eagle/4, BSW eagle/4 1938

** Don't worry she is plugged to 5 rounds.

Second is what looks to be an ammo can for a MG34, marked 181 HASAG 40, waffen WaA84

Last is an M1 Carbine Scabbard, marked US Schell Leather Goods Co. Inc. 1943. Fit my Gm Inland 1943 Carbine real good. Just need to clean up and soften the leather a bit cause its kind of dry.

My new mill just arrived yesterday, cleaning and assembling today - does that count? It's not a milsurp, but it IS gun-related when it's in MY shop - Mooo-haaa-haa-haaaa!

Oh, and also, I got a dewat Sten MkII late last month that I need to post pics of sometime soon.

Holy Crap, I thought I posted March Purchases in the Milsurp forum.
But lo and behold this thread sounds a lot like Tim Taylor's Tool Time.:runaway:

Just got this in....the FNC1 sniper scope setup.
I also managed to pick up not one, but two Cno7 barrels at the Saskatoon gunshow on the weekend. I even got a Cno7 rear site for just $10.
Also, while I was going through a bunch of Canadian issued sten mags the other day, I found this oddball in the bunch:
DSCF0041.jpg

It is a bit larger than a sten mag, and seems to accept .45 cal. I think it's a grease gun mag. Not sure if Canada had many of those, but this definitely came out of Canadian service.
 
Often the M-3 Grease Guns were on-board weapons with Lend-Lease Sherman Tank supplied to Canadian units.

Unless that barrel has been sleeved through it's entire length, or, if the extension is rifled, the joint between the extension and the barrel is seamless, then the extension does not qualify as part of the barrel length. I went through this with an M1A1 carbine a couple years back.

Ditto, but the classification is totally up to the CFC and the verifier.

If I were you I'd change the barrel.

Oh right I forgot, you PM'd me to tell me you already did that...;)
 
So far this month I have added 2 firearms to my WWII collection. The first is a nice Russian capture German Mauser K98K CE 43 made by JP Sauer und Sohn Gewehrfabrik in Suhl, Germany. The second is a Russian Tokarev SVT-40 with a 1944 maker date. I also managed to find 3 more K98 bayonets with leather frogs intact. None are #'s matching, but one has a totally untouched blade with most of the original finish intact. Still looking for a bayonet for the Tokarev.
