Military surplus toys

[flatwins]

Seems like many of us enjoy several types of firearms, myself included.  I've been interested in firearm history since my youth and enjoy shooting the tools of yesteryear.  One of my favorites guns in a replica of a 1836 Colt Paterson. Those are so old school it has to be disassembled to load.  But EVERY revolver made (even today) owes its existence to the Paterson.

Anyhow...  I have a HUGE soft spot for Swedish Mausers.  I feel that they may just be the finest military Mauser ever made in a caliber (6.5x55) that is fantastic.

Here's the current stash. 1903 M94 on the top, 1942 M38 in the middle, 1899 M96 on the bottom.

For awhile I've been wanting an FSR M96.  The FSR rifles were civilian shooting club rifles and were modified M96s with diopter sights.  Fellas, those rifles can shoot!  I've got one headed my way and can't wait to get it out to see what it can do.

I've got M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, Mosin Nagants, etc. as well.

Let's see some toys!

Nice rifles here is mine, it's a long one. Without having it in front of me I don't have the model number handy.

OK I checked ...it is a 1905 Carl Gustov all matching numbers.
