:DThe one in the floor with the synthetic stock is actually the oldest of the bunch. It is a Carl Gustaf Swedish mauser M96. It was made in 1901. It is a real sweet shooter.
 
what a family! you must be so proud! i am willing to send one or two of them to college if you find it necessary. :)
 
Me and momma are very proud of them:D;. I have had them for a while. There are a few of them that are looking to leave home if you know of anyone looking to take one or two of them in;) .
 
Good looking bunch. What make is that mauser, third from the right? I read a story aout them but can't remember who modified them like that. The story was that the fake gas tube not only held cleaning supplies, but was also had a psycological effect. At the time that rifle was issued some troops were getting FALs, and the 'gas tube' made the guys getting mausers feel like they weren't getting an inferior weapon. Cool rifle hang on to it.
 
Bingo!!! You are correct sir. La Corona 1954 to be exact. Chambered in .308 and accurate for a carbine. I love the feel and looks of this one.:D
 
That is an Erma Werke Iver Johnson m1-22 carbine. I put a cheap scope on it and I am still looking for a complete rear sight for it. I have been looking for 2 years and to no avail. It is very accurate and light. I purchased this rifle because it has Jacksonville , Ar. stamped into the barrel. It was made in Germany for Iver Johnson, who at the time had a weapons factory in Jacksonville. Jacksonville is about 25 miles from where I live.
 
Very cool. I especially like the flash supressor.

What caliber?

I assume this is a tube-fed bolt action?
 
When I clicked on this, I was hoping that pictures of GUNS, would show up:D

Nice collection!!
 
Spanish FR8

I've got a Spanish Mauser converted to .308 and I love it. Paid $69 for it in 1986-ish.

I've been looking fo one of those FR7 or 8s and they are mighty scarce.
 
I bought this FR-8 about 2 years from a man from Springdale, Ar. I gave him $200 for it and it is a great rifle. The one to the left of it is also a Spanish .308. It is a 1916 that was rechambered for the .308 round. I reparkerized the barrel and receiver and the bore looks like a mirror.
 
Nice collection

Nice bit of kit there big guy; :cool: I like the scope on the MOSIN-NAGANT. I have seven Mosin's, none w/ a scope. What method did you use to get a nice scope mounted on it? Did you get a gunsmith to do it, or yourself. If so; did you have to drill & tap it? What type of mounts did you use? What type of scope?? Those Mosins, (especially the M38 :fire: have a monster kick), does your scope hold center once you get it to zero? :banghead:
 
This particular scout mount setup is easy. You just remove the pin from the rear sight and replace it with a rail. Then you mount your rings and scope to the rail. Keep the original rear sight to put back on later. Ta-da, done deal.
These rifles (mosin nagants) have a boat load of recoil if you shot heavy ball ammo so I expected the rings to loosen alittle. You have to tighten the rings every so often, but so far the scope stays on zero. I mounted the muzzle break on this one to tame the recoil. It is effective, with about a 30-40% decrease in felt recoil. I kind of like a little stiff recoil. Just put a dab of thread locker on the screws, or you will have to chase it down range.:D
