October purchases

[Claven2]

Different actions. One is a small ring Mauser 93 action (#### on closing - similar to a Swedish Mauser). The other is an uncommon small ring Mauser 98 action, similar to a Kar98AZ, #### on opening classic K98 type bolt setup.

[RhysFromNZ]

No photos yet as it's still in layby in the shops back room, But I've put down the deposit on an NZ Artillery Snider. more to come when I get my mitts on it

 

[SKScanuck]

I got a MN Sling with Russian markings

And I picked up a Jungle carbine, (pics to follow).

Nov 1944 FAZ Manufacture.

It had a SK Scope mount that I have removed and a nice Monti Carlo (I mean nice) sporter stock. The stock is still on it.

I plan on putting the correct stock on.

 

[Claven2]

I just made arrangements to add two more Mosins to the fold - 44 Tula M44 with Hex receiver and a 45 Izzy M44 with laminate stock.

 

[gnutcha]

I just purchased a 43 Izhevsk M44. Same place as Claven2 I wouldn't be surprised.

Looks like the boys have been to P&S.....

 

[Claven2]

You could almost say I have a membership on the P&S website... lol.

The ex-snipers were tempting (and not import marked!), but I'd rather wait for an original (non-EX) sniper to come along at the right price.

 

[Mobius1]

arrived this morning, built in may '55? (58610xx). its a greek return from the cmp, covered in cosmoline. mw close to 1 (dont have a gauge but it shows as much as my other M1 with a mw of 0) might go to range tomorrow.

 

[desporterizer]

Thats a nice looking garand. I thought all the greeks were beat to hell?

 

[Mobius1]

there are dents and some chips but for being one of the lasts service grades i'm very happy with the wood.

Original German k98 manuals

Not sure if I showed these yet, had them for a few weeks now. Original wartime German manuals for the K98 rifle. My buddy picked me up two of them, in pretty decent condition considering age. Nice accessory.

 

[Gibbs505]

I hope your german is good!

Top left is the October addition, along with some leather. DC marked and pristine bore, 95% original blue, original ramrod, blah blah. Very happy with it. Never thought I would see the day I own a black powder anything, but it's Canadian and fills a spot.
1861 dated, London Armory, and BSA conversion.

Close ups later. Canadian marked to go with the rest of the wall. Everything up there is either Canadian made and/or Canadian marked.. Except the Sten, so if anybody out there knows of a 12.3 Long Branch Sten for sale or trade with a great Brit sten, puleeezzzz let me know.

How did you order from tickbite supply considering they don't ship to Canada???

 

[koldt]

OK, here are the aforementioned close up shots of the 1867 Birmingham Small Arms Co., conversion of the Snider Enfield as made at the London Armories in 1861.

I don't think the barrel/receiver has ever been taken out of the stock, and I'll keep it that way.

I tried to get a shot of the bore, but haven't figured out the manual focus yet. The bore is mirror bright.

Anybody know where I can find an original nipple protector with chain?

I can hardly wait to chop the stock and fit it for a Magpul M93 and RAS.
