Qute ZB :) I know where there's a mint one with all the goodies for sale - sadly I'm not grandfathered :(
 
Ok, here's mine...

Budapest 1918 M95 Short Rifle - rechambered to 8x56r in 1932 by Austria, given to Bulgaria in 1939 once the Austrian Army had been absorbed into the Wehrmacht and rearmed with German weapons

I'd like one of these. My Opa was born in Budapest in the Austrian Empire days, ended up in the Austrian army as a captain and likely fielded this rifle in his junior days before the war and the German rearmament.

He was a company commander on the eastern front.
 
Sorry for the poor pictures, my new house isn't great for gun photography.

wow fernleaf, what a mosin collection!

That sako '42 M39; is that a some sort of a duffle cut on the forestock? Or a repair? Did they do duffle cuts on the other side of the pond? Or need to?

I believe that and the finger lock cut were done believing that helps the stock survive harsh weather and climate change better.

like the MG 3 or MG 43, whatever you call it, the black one with changeable barrel on the left. carried one on small unit exchange in 1992 in Norway, B-Coy 1 PPCLI to Harstad. belive the ones we used were rechambered german guns, to 7.62 NATO. accurate as all ****, smooth as glass to fire, super fast rate of fire, and not too heavy, lighter than a C6 by a lot. getting a bit nostalgic now..
