The Big 3

[Nevada Hudson]

Ok, we took some pictures. Now how do we post them here?

[funnybookz]

Nice. That'll be a nice (and pretty hefty) collection!

[Nevada Hudson]

Found out it is a 91/24 and bubba got to it. Can't figure out how to post the pictures here, even with help. Those sites are too complicated for me. Can always e- mail them to someone here, then they can post them on here. If there is a way to post them from Facebook on here, that would work, but don't want all my "friends" on Facebook knowing what I have.

yep, definitely a bubba job. if you like it it might be worth restoring, but it won't be easy to get some of the parts. watch the auction sites for stocks and metal pieces. numrich has the handguard available but that's about it. or you can always sell it to some other schmuck like me who's crazy enough to try and restore these things. bummer about 91/24s is that they were made by cutting down '91 long rifles, and therefore removing the fastest section of the gain-twist rifled barrel. most of these are horribly inaccurate because the rifling is too slow to stabilize bullets. still look neat though. good luck whatever you decide.

That rifle is in definite need of some TLC. But that can turn into a real fun project if you want to invest the time.

Will sell for what I paid for it, as it's beyond my capacity to restore it.
Will never buy anything again from Silver State Arms, as he said the stock was original like that. Yeah, right!

Good call on the WWII collecting. I will stick with

Garand
M1 Carbine
Mosin Nagant
K98 Mauser
1903A3

Deliberately avoiding Enfields, Carcanos, etc. because I don't want any more calibers to deal with.

C'mon... you know you want to...

[Enfield47]

Do you think Bobby will have one or two Enfields by the end of the year?

[Dan_Eastvale]

Do you think Bobby will have one or two Enfields by the end of the year?

Yes, if Classic has a deal on them.... Everyone will

We will see a feeding frenzy like what happened after last year's sino soviet sks deals

Without question a WW2 collection must have an Enfield. By far the best bolt action battle rifle.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. For being a 60+ year old rifle, the action on the thing is butter smooooooooooth

[Paulie Lugnuts]

WWII collecting isn't just about rifles. You need some of these too.
