My Leica meets BYF 43, 44, Garand, and Enfield
Decided to play with my Leica C-Lux 3 today...
First up is my Grandfather's bring-back, a byf 43 Kar 98k. His squad came across a crate full of unissued Mausers, and they divided them up. This is the one he came home with. I do not know what happened to the original stock. The only stock I ever saw on it was a walnut stock which he sporterized (like so many others did) and then used as his hunting rifle. That stock fell apart the first time I shot it after inheriting it. The stock on it now is correct for a byf 43, and so it appears as he would have found it. Metal is all-matching.  Up next is a byf 44 which my wife's grandfather owned. I cleaned it up as described in this thread. Still waiting for father in law to find the floorplate / follower assembly.  My H&R Service grade M1 Garand from the CMP. Muzzle and throat wear measured at 1.  And my hunting rifle, a 1913 SMLE I bought from Century. Was all-matching, but stock was beat up so I've replaced it (still have original set). Dead-on at 75 yards, which is all I need for where I hunt (on step-dad's property in Missouri).  -Jason

Nice photos you have of your wood pile.
All kidding aside, it's a very nice collection of some of the best rifles of the last 100 years. Hang on to them and keep them safe, (from rust and sticky fingers). Dave

Those are some handsome weapons.
Certainly better than the beater Mauser I have. (I ain't complaining, because I got it for free).
