How about some No.5 glamour shots before Claven2 unleashes the red hoards

Believe it or not, I don't just have Mosins

Sadly, I didn;t have time last night. Will try for tonight. In the meantime, here's a few teasers already loaded into my photobucket account.

Claven, does the cleaning rod on your SVT contact your flash hider as well? I thought mine was bent but it looks like yours does it too.

 

[Claven2]

yes, it does touch if the rod is rotated around. Like most rods, mine's not perfectly straight, the head is slightly askew. It's just there to hold the rod in the handle though

And PS: that old birch Parkay floor was in my old pad. I moved last April, the pics were taken just before that The new house is mostly done in traditional straight oak hardwood, but most pics from that house are in the carpeted basement or the reloading/gun storage vault/room.

Tristanium, is that jungle carbine third from the bottom the original wood? That is a joke it's so gorgeous.

Tell me that's not original. If it is, I must have it.

The finish looks a bit too glossy. Maybe some varnish or lacquer on it?

Nice collection, I see that the bottom two are cocked, rounds loaded? Expecting trouble?

I fancy a Jungle Carbine now. How do they shoot compared with a No 4 ?

"Wandering zeroes" according to British Soldiers.

But they just said that because they didn't want bolt actions when everyone else was getting semi autos.
