A few more from the collection mounted up.

Top is a British pattern FN FAL, on an Imbel receiver, with Aussie L1A2 bayonet. I prefer the British features on the FAL vs others. The cutouts on the Bolt carrier, and the folding charging handle. The bayonet is surprisingly tricky to find in the US and usually expensive vs bayonets of the same era.

Bottom is the Swedish m/96 on the AG42b. The rifle is in amazing condition typical of these. While I have a number of other rifles to mount this common bayonet on, this one seemed like the most fun. The bayonet is unit marked, so it was in service prior to 1915.

Mounted bayonets? How about a Swede? Or German? Both? In a rare flavor?

First is the m/1915 Naval bayonet for the m/94-14, shooting a 6.5x55 cartridges. Almost humorously long combo, with the bayonet about 1/3 the rifle length.

Second is a German 1871 Hirschfänger. Should be mounted on the Kar71, but since I don't have one.... the Mauser 71/84 will do. The rifle is an 11mm, blackpowder, metallic cartridge, tube magazine rifle. Bayonet is marked to a Jeager unit as most are since the bayonet was issued to them. The rifle to a Prussian reserve infantry unit.

Edit: I mean the Jeager 71, not Kar 71.

A fairly recent pair of additions.

Ag42b and Polish Mosin Carbine, I've had a type 56 before and this seems far superior.

The Ag42 is *chef's kiss* I didnt expect to find one, let alone local, let alone in superb shape. Have the night sights, tool kit, and already had 5 bayonets that fit it.

A really big clip.

6.5 Swede dummies for scale. 2 of the 3 projectiles are 3d printed. So comically massive. All Ww2 marked 40mm Bofors.

The most prized watch in my small collection [7005-8030][service question]

My Grandfather served in Veitnam as a medic, and was deployed late 1968 - early 1970 based on his documents. After returning, he gave this watch to his oldest son, who was 9 at the time. It was worn a lot. My dad had it tuned up in the late 80s, but hasn't been opened up since.

It wasnt until a few years ago my dad found it was the same model and range that MACV-SOG used and is monetarily valuable as well.

I'd like to have it serviced, it keep time perfectly, but I'm sure could use some love, and a new crystal. Any recommendations on the best place to send a super sentimental and collectible watch?

My Ally is coming together. On a trench theme base.

Gotta drill holes in the under mantle gun barrels, finishe up all the arms with mag mounts, and throw some resin printed troopers in the trench. Soo... halfway done?? Oh, and all the rear detail to paint on the knight.

The bike my wife encouraged me to get. Never rode as a kid. Now after 10+ years and a couple bigger bikes later, this one still puts a smile on my face.

1972 Honda CT90. Only upgrade is the KZ400 rear shocks. Got the bike with 800 miles and put 6k more on her since.

Co-manager here. Promoting myself to customer.

Put in my 2 weeks yesterday. I have more than a decade with Kroger, 6 of those as a clerk. This company isnt recognizable from where I started. All I can say to those who are still working there: good luck, may your managers not be completely incompetent and stand up for you.
