If I ever reach "money is no object" and find myself with an extra 3-4K, I'll be posting pics of my pair of historic battle rifles ... a 1903 and Garand, each original with matching numbers, naturally

Of course, THAT day is a looooooong way off. Between my ongoing rehab expenses (shoulder not drugs - lol), home improvements and the IVF we've just begun the only thing I can afford right now is a penny for your thoughts.

If the IVF works, I suppose I'll be able to buy something new after college!

If it is a girl, forget "after college", you'll have to wait until after the wedding!! Ask me how I know.

Well, like something like these.


The second one last year.


Both of my "babies."


Sorry, don't mean to brag.

The humility around here is ... humbling

That's a fantastic collection, John!

Matt,

how about a Mosin? it's cheap, it's a WW2 battle rifle, it's Bolt action and ammo is cheap. lots of fun for not much money.

these guys have some cool accessories http://brassstacker.com/mosin-nagant/

I love it!!

My dad also had 2 1903A3 Springfield rifles in his collection but to this day I have not been able to locate them. I think his brother-in-law got them many years ago but has since passed. I asked my cousin, his daughter about them but she has no idea.

The Mosin Nagant is a pretty neat rifle as is the Steyr M95 rifle. I picked up these fairly cheap with my C&R license, less than $100.00 each if I remember correctly.

Steyr M95.


Mosin Nagant.
