All guns are matching non import except the belt feds which do not have their matching barrels or bolts. The ZF41 scope is not matching to the rifle either.

These represent quite a few of the recognized variations of the War 2 and post war design. Once again, all matching except the 'cigarette' guns.
Again, the Vets that come to the shows really enjoy seeing them and I get a real kick out of talking to them.
These were collected to honor my father who was 101.
Putting finishing touches on my Colt 20s thru 70s display for this coming March and will get pics then.
ignition, I really don't know how to describe posting the pics in like I have just done. All I do is to keep clicking 'copy' and 'paste until it works.
This post took me an hour to get right!!!
