Would you call this Bubba'd?

Rifles like this were quite common in the partisan warfare during and after World War II. Yes, it may be bubba'd, but it may also be a piece of history.

The Latvian Museum of Occupation has a similarly cut down Ross MKIII rifle (Ross rifles were sent to Latvia in 1919) that was modified as a partisan weapon after World War II when many Latvians, Estonians, and Lithuanians chose to struggle agaisnt their communist oppressors by taking to the woods and fighting a geurilla war.

The Latvian Museum of Occupation, however, calls it a "Ross-Enfield."

Picture from the museum shows a modified P-14:

I guess I never looked at the pic close enough! The flush magazine should make it a give-away.

It makes the "ross-enfield" designation all the more perplexing!

There were both Rosses and "Enfield" (P14s) sent to Latvia in 1919.

Probably just named them all "Ross Enfield" as they were all 303 British.

OUT THE RATS!

But i dont know whats funnier, the pic or knowing that someome would "feed his own fellow gun enthusiest to the wolves". Its kinda pathetic really, even sad.
Atleast post the PM's ya got threatening action, even if you keep the names out of it, jsut copy with quotes around it. Would make for good humer.
Maybe ill post a pic like that to see if i get any bites,

I visited the Toronto Police Museum many years ago (don't even know if it still exists/open to the public). Among the various displays were guns taken from criminals. A very surprising number of MP-38/40s (obviously vet "bring backs"), and about a dozen enfields that had been cut down the same way as the rifle in this thread.

that deserves way more than a game misconduct. more like a 5 game suspension during the finals.

C'mon what's the harm in pasting the contents of their silly messages drache?, just without the usernames, it would be entertaining if anything.
