March Purchases

Radioroz new aquisition

She bought a VZ 24
its got nice clean lines wood is nice and the blue is 100% its missmatched
but she was looking for something mauser ish and this fitted the bill and was cheap

In this picture you can just make out someone has at some time had a scope mounted as there are some grub screws in the holes . otherwise the action is crisp and so is the rifling. i dont know too much about them so ill be posting this elsewhere and see what the Mauser experts come up with

Here are some of my more recent acquisitions.

1862 Snider, DC marked, to the 2nd GT. Just needs a cleaning rod and a box of ammo!

1944 RFI SMLE, converted to .410 by the Indians in 1949. Honestly, it's one of the nicest Enfields I've ever seen-stone minty! Shoots nice too, part of me wants to take it grouse hunting this year

1958 MAS 36/51. Another one fresh out of the arsenal (In February 58!) Shoots great, it rang the gong all day long at 200 yards. These funny little French rifles are gaining a place in my heart. I can feel a lebel coming on...

Hope you've enjoyed seeing them as much as I've enjoyed finding them! Pardon the pics, I promise better when the weather warms up a little
