I finally spotted two Enfields in your superb collection!
Without that discovery, the only medication to stop my spiral into despair would have been a shot of Mountain Dew.

At least you guys understand how to put photos into computers. You'll probably never see my collection.

The P38 and Kar 98K came in since I first posted in this thread.

MilsurpShooter,
Am I mistaken, or are those photos taken at Blue Mountain Sportman's Center in Montrose? If so we should get together and shoot.

Here's a pic from the range this last week; my February 1918 RSAF-Enfield SMLE MkIII* and my 1923 Czech-Turkish ZB Vz.98/22.

HaHa, thanks Ignition Override, I just bought a VZ-52 rifle to add to the collection, just waiting for it to arrive at my FFL dealer

Yep, I used to be a regular there every weekend and holiday. Seriously cut back on my shooting time until all this NY gun law and ammo scare stuff has calmed down a bit.

That is an awesome G-43, congrats on that one !

HK, Nice collection also !

Dentite, you are right, that is one Sweet Krag !! nice caliber too !

 

[Dentite]

I have previously only bought original configuration military rifles but I couldn't turn down this sporterized Norwegian Krag in 6.5x55 for $250.

Shot it for the first time a couple weeks back and it was sweet. Mild handloads for this one.

Nice collection guys!

I would need a wide angle lens for all my milsurps. 12 Mosin Nagants, 1 Winchester 95 in 7.62X54R, 4 Mausers, 3 Steyr M95's, 1 SKS, 1 TT-33, one Japanese Arisaka, 2 M1 Garands, 1 M1985 Nagant pistol, 3 Swiss, and them is just the ones I remember off the top of my head. One of my better investments was the C&R license, which means they get shipped right to me and no transfer guy (or fee) needed

The sad thing is, I don't need a wide angle lens for ALL my guns. MY brother has a C&R so I get the benefits of it.

I rescued this Remington made 1903 that had been sporterized. I put a new stock on her and found a 1950 Weaver K3 scope to bring her back to more how she should look. I think she looks much better now.

 

[MJ]

Nice photos!

Thanks for sharing.

The surplus bug has bitten me pretty bad...

I need to take more pictures. Here's my 1915 New England Westinghouse Mosin Nagant. All numbers match, and has all American parts - some of the bolt parts are Remington. The NEW is kept company by a 91/30, M39, and the newest one, a Yugo M48 Mauser.

 

[TIMC]

Rescued another Bubba, man these are fun projects! Both are Remington 1903's that had been sporterized, they look much better now.

 

[lhartman89]

Here is my 1933 hex Tula M91/30. Nothing special and is all numbers matching after it was re-arsenal finished. I refinished the stock in red mahogany as I didn't like the old shellac finish. I just got a sling for it along with 30 stripper clips and one of the "recoil" pads. I really bought the pad to increase the LOP and it is a lot better now. I also cut a coil and a half off the firing pin spring to make it easier to cycle the bolt. It made a difference as I took the whole thing apart and cleaned it and then lubed it hoping that would fix it and it didn't. So after I lightened the spring, no more problems racking the bolt.
