Greetings!
Having sold off a few things recently to fund other projects, I am nevertheless acquired a few neat new pieces. I am at a point in my collecting that I know somewhat what I like and what I am looking for, so the buys are more calculated and less random. 8mm Mausers, Uncommon Mosins, Swiss rifles, and SKS's are the focal point for my shooter collectors. (Notwithstanding American C&R's, which are much more expensive to shoot regularly).
So here are the new additions, most of which will be shooters and desert companions!
Super clean Yugo capture K98, mostly scrubbed, a few chickens here and there
1920 Izhevsk M91 Hex (Incorrect laminated stock, I think, but in great shape)
(Bad pics sorry) Super nice M39 SK.Y Finn Mosin paired with a nice M27 Finn.
Both acquired together. Both bores were somewhat neglected but I spent the better part of a day cleaning them up and they are returning to a nice shine with some elbow grease. Otherwise both are cosmetically near perfect.
(More bad pics) Cool, matching Persian 98/29. Not a mint gun, but one that looks to have been used. Wood is a bit dinged and there is some left over paint from some sort of unit identifier, otherwise typically shiny bore and smooth as glass action.
Finally, a very cool item that was acquired from a fellow Calguns member. Reposted for your viewing pleasure. This one may never be shot because I don't want to fool with the weird bolt disassembly. 1904/39 Portuguese "Verguiero" Mauser. Possibly one of the most elegant Mausers I have had the pleasure to own, just silky smooth and lovely from top to bottom.
