Show Your Bolt Actions

[transitsc]

Started collecting the old milsurp bolts again. Very infectious hobby. So far have 5 and I hope I stop there (but no promises). 4 came from fellow CGNers.

Top to bottom:

1909 M96 Swede Mauser
1941 M38 Swede Mauser
1950's?? M48 BO Yugo Mauser
1953 No4 Mk2 Lee Enfield
1954 No4 Mk2 Lee Enfield

Let's see some of yours.

Here's my 1943 Tula Mosin Nagant 91/30. When she gets wet she gets a weird blue/green discoloration on the magazine. Ah well, still shoots great.

 

[TheIndifferent1]

23 bolt actions. Just ignore the SVT-40 at the top middle (no magazine in it)

I'll get better pictures of them all this summer when I'm at home.

Wow... so uhhh... how much of that do you plan on selling?

Only a few. Once I clean them and decide which are going to go, they'll show up in the EE. Probably mid-summer by the time the CFC gets all the registration certs to me

K98ACTION,
I don't want to derail the thread, but I'd really like to know how you treated the RC stock to make it so purdy.

And in the interest of avoiding a derail, here's a bit of bolt action eye candy, a couple that often gbet overlooked:
1946 MAS36 (never fired, only dropped once ):

1940 91/30 Carcano Short Rifle (only a few hundred in serial number from Lee Harvey Oswald's):

 

[Spencer]

My latest toy with newly fitted scope mount and bent bolt handle. The accuracy of this little thing has really surprised me.

 

[TheIndifferent1]

K98ACTION,

1940 91/30 Carcano Short Rifle (only a few hundred in serial number from Lee Harvey Oswald's):

What serial number is that? I should check mine.

 

[Skippy]

According to the Warren Commission Report, Oswald's carcano was C2766, manufactured at the Terni arsenal in 1940.

Yes, you should. But check with the admin on here first to ensure there is enough bandwidth to accomodate the pics of all your stuff...
