Finally got a Swiss K1911 that I have always wanted, pics do not do justice to the quality of these fine rifles.
Its really a K1896 that was re barreled to the 7.5x55 round and they also added the wrist swell.
I hope to find a K31, for a decent price, one of these days also.

Go away Wooley
This thread is a place for mature and responsible gun enthusiasts to get together and calmly and rationally... admire ScottyB's enormous and ever-expanding collection of cool/rare/expensive firearms.
The straight pull design of the Swiss rifles has always interested me.
And if I did know, why would I advertise it when folks are in a banning mood.Quote:

I don't think I have posted any dis here in a while. My questions are honest from a lifetime gun owner. Lighten up Francis. Or don't.Quote:

Hmmmm. Problem gun? When well maintained the SKS was in my experience rock solid.Quote:

Anyone here play with a BAR? What's that like?
Ohio Ordnance Works makes semi versions. I've always wanted to try one. Maybe if I win the lottery someday and we are still allowed to own anything more than a pea shooter I will get that chance.Quote:

Some of the Yugo guns got used hard in the Balkan wars and there was a lot of bfpu.
Just got my new Savage LWH 6.5 CM out this afternoon. One shot to get on pape at 100, little adjustment on the scope and sub MOA after that. Another 20 rounds and the only time I had a flier was definitely on me. I think this is going to be a great little muley rifle.
I'm sorry that you feel the need to feel sorry. No need really. To be honest, I am trying hard as hard as I could NOT let my troll out and to and still be able to join this conversation. I've been trolling trolls in polyass to draw their fire and I'm hardened. They toss some sick shit and needed to be banned. I do have an interest in WWII infantry arms as I'm into the history of what it was like to be on the ground. And after standing in line at Mickey D's behind a guy with two tactical pistols strapped on his thighs and an attitude, I do have an interest where some control might be headed and this thread is a window for me. My pop once told me to only be afraid if someone if they can shoot you and so far that's been working. I trolled Jan Morgan on FB once. That was a hoot and dumb.Quote:

We all think people like that are dumbasses. Promise. The people on here who carry you'd never know unless they told you. We all want to have our firearms hidden.Quote:

Garands are sweet, you should own one or more. Along with an M1 carbine and a M1903 or one of its variations.
The CMP should be getting the rifles from the Philippines soon and if they are rebuilt well should be good shooters and a bit of history you can hold/shoot.
M1 - Rifle 10lbs. 43.5"L MV 2800 ft/sec
M1 Carbine 5.5lbs 36"L MV 1900ft/sec
No wrong or right answer I guess with the obvious weight advantage of the carbine but discount the weight.
Which would you choose to live with and carry all day, everyday, to fight with someone trying to kill you?
How 'bout one of these instead?
Attachment 213330
That was another choice. Good way to clear a room in city fighting or make way in a trench.
I think there really is no right answer to this question because it all depends on where you are fighting.Quote:

Not ok to call the senator names. I completely disagree with her stance on guns, however, it is not ok to call her names. Especially in this thread. Take it somewhere else.Quote:

A store up the road has a Remington 700 5R , SS, .223, 20" threaded barrel for sale at a discounted price (the sucker sat on the shelf for a while with no interest in it, probably because it's .223). Thinking of driving back and buying it. Even at "fire sale" it's still a pricey rifle.
