i cant get them out of the safe, they are packed in too tight

Ian, now THAT'S a wall display!

Someone remind me to clean out the safe and line them up when I get home at 5:10 today? lol

Here are a few from another collection that sadly isn't my own...

A few less-than-common Enfields...


How about some British SMGs?


Not enough firepower? Perhaps you need some belt-feds.


To put the collection in some perspective, this particular rack was squeezed into a little corner; it's guns not able to be fitted into the display. Nothing interesting here, right?

WOW now when my wife tells me I already have to many guns I can just show her those pics.

Nice "protell" sticker on your K31. Do you know "Protell"?

Of course! It came with the rifle too!

I for one would like to see that pic jpwillys, note that as nice as gratuitous gun pics are, they are not his (IAN, your father is a lucky lucky man). Doesn't matter if you only have a single rifle, if you are proud of it, post away.

Nook, how does that K31 shoot, I was looking at them a while back, but couldn't find a decent source for the ammo, and was a little leary of the straight pull action, decent mausers locally are getting to be quite expensive, hence the search for a nice SMLE, but I have never fired a K31, and have heard good things, just looking for a fun 100-200yd bolt battle rifle that won't break the bank. (I reload and just about all the 7.5 ammo I can find is very expensive or berdan primed, and often both)

It shoots wonderfully. My first 10 shots were within 2" at 100M. Im sure I can get that down with some simple tuning and practice. Ammo is easy now, Wolf distributes it now, I got 6 boxes off the shelf at cabela's. While wolf is not the match quality stuff as GP11, it is a good source of perfectly reloadable brass. Add in the fact it can use any number of .308 bullets, reloaders should be thrilled. There's absolutely nothing to be wary of on the bolt. It just turns it a little differently than we are used to, It's smooth solid and dependable.

My rapidly disappearing collection of Mosin Nagants.

My disappeared Enfield & Mil Surp collection

It's not much, but here it is:


To which was recently added this:


Not shown: a Sig Revolution Carry Stainless 1911. It has a rifled barrel. Does it qualify?

I've posted it before. Nothing special, but I've since sold the Steyr M95 and added 2 more R/C K98s and another Gew98.

Ian, give your father a hug for me.

Let me clarify - my father has a wall full of Arisakas, but the other photos came from the home of a different gentleman who was kind enough to show me around his collection (and the photos I posted only scrape the surface of what he has ).
