Walther 1944 Gewehr 43 (G43) Sniper
Today I’m displaying my original 1944 Walther G43 Sniper with original Zielfernrohr 4 scope and mount. Serial all matching on receiver, bolt carrier, bolt, firing pin housing, locking flap, stock, and gas system, along with Waffenamt proof marks on all major components. Original cleaning rod, mag, WW2 K98/G/K43 sling with buckle proofed D&C a less common maker, manufactured by Dransfeld & Co, Menden/Sauerland. Frog is marked 1938 FKW.
Swedish M96 vs Swiss 1911
I’m looking for a full size surplus rifle with moderate recoil and good accuracy. If anyone has any recommendations besides the M96 or Swiss 1911 I wanna hear them but between those two which would you pick and why?
You got some love for a classic?
Another gun out of my collection. An original vz61 scorpion. Sadly she is castrated, but at least it's not one of those new ones from csa. Funny shooter, but indoors sometimes "a bit hot" (if you know what I mean).
Hunters lodge m44
Picked up a m44 from Hunters Lodge for a quick restoration project. Received my order promptly at the 2 month mark. Received a surprisingly nice 1948 izvesh.the toe of the stock missing. Ended up swapping a m44 stock from a m38 i had laying around and got a correct stock for it. Overall really happy with how it turned out.
My New Addition
I put Norinco 213A in layaway today! The first one I've ever seen.
7.62 vs 9mm
Now that I have the set, will need to take to the range and compare the 7.62 Tok M57 to my 9mm M70A. I've heard the 7.62 is more expensive and harder to come by, but the snap, report and muzzle blast make it a hoot to shoot!
Another Star 30M
I took the plunge with Centerfire after holding off for a while. No regrets. I would grade it as VG+. This is the 'good' condition with two matching magazines. If you're on the fence like I was, don't hesitate, especially if you have a thing for all steel construction.
Note: the photo is of the pistol untouched as I received it.
Value of these rifles?
I have a number of WW2 rifles I inherited. However money is tight right now and I am debating on selling a few of these. The 2 hunting rifles im keeping.
From top to bottom there is a all parts matching (except the bayonet) arisaka with the mum.
Swiss K31 all parts matching including matching bayonet.
Carl gustaf with all parts matching except the bayonet.
Mosin negant with non matching parts and a reproduction scope. I think its a sniper clone.
Skipping the sporter carl gustaf calvary carbine (keeping it)
All parts matching mauser of some sort. I think its a Czech VZ24
All parts matching lee enfield no 4 mk 1 with a reproduction scope.
Keeping the browning 2 speed.
My CMP field grade 1911 (converted to A1)
I'm thinking of tracking down a period correct slide, and grip safety. Where is a good place to find those?
$605 Kar98a
1915 Erfurt Kar98a. Almost fully matching, only the extractor doesn't match, it's an 87 instead of 82. The auction on GunBroker was poorly named, I think that's the only reason I got it so cheap. Pictured with a 1915 Erfurt S84/98 II bayonet with flashguard.
My 1954 Izhevsk SKS
Found this at a gunshow marked "Russia SKS". Saw the Dust cover and price tag and I immediately took it home. Now my 54 Tula finnaly has a sister from the other factory to play with.👍🏻
Weird lebel carbine at local cabelas
Never seen one before so I’m assuming it’s someone’s homemade project. But I could be wrong do you guys know anything?
1895 Finn Capture M91 Sestroryesk Mosin
Picked this guy up for tree fiddy today. Mixmaster of parts, but it has an intact crest and is very early production. Still in original M91 configuration as best I can tell. I'm not super smart on Mosins, so educate me if there's anything noteworthy that I'm missing here! Bore may or may not clean up well, but there's still decent rifling visible. Not going to be a shooter anyways, that's what the wartime Izhevsks are for.
This past weekend's pick up. 1971 matching Yugo Sks and a 1943 US lend lease Savage Stevens no 4 mk 1* sporter.
I'm looking for a complete stock set for the Enfield but I paid $600 for these two. I'm very pleased with the price. I kind of like the look of the sporter, but want to get a complete stock for it, doesnt have to be a Savage Stevens stock but not finding many complete sets.
My New Addition
Today I put a Norinco 213A on layaway, to join my Norinco model 54-1.
I have become fond of the TT-33 type pistols.
Star 70B has arrived.
Im actually quite surprised that it hasnt been completely butchered.
Time to hold onto it for a year or so till the knowledge to build them is aquired. Then ill have it shipped out somewhere to be built. Should be cool.
