Just can not keep a good man down. WW II era SVT-40s & Russian Maxims fighting still in Ukraine.
Before the war Ukraine was the the supplier of some of the last SVT-40s being exported to the surplus market. I guess that has stopped.
And yes, as a Bogo that is a DP-28 at the top of...
Was at a gun show and saw an SKS with a 20 round mag.. Never knew this was made before. There are some with Stars and some with out. From what I read seems more issues with the stared ones then the non stared ones.. But they looked neat. Would almost liked to get one but my SKS would not...
Found this on the way to other things. I like the some of the classy cool things they do like using a 4/5th scale Storch with German markings as a spotter plane, driving through giant spider webs and shooting from trucks. But man there are things that really look down right crazy like the...
Looking something else up came across a couple of cool Luftwaffe rifles
They made about 2500 Drilling rifles for Luftwaffe crews to carry in North Africa. The M-30
Came in a cool metal case no less

Found this while looking for other things. But what a beautiful gun, a Daisy BB gun that came with a removable bayonet.
Made in the 1910s and maybe up to the early 1930s. Known as the Daisy Model 40. To kool for words.

There are a slew of Chinese v Japanese WW II war movies made over the years. Many are a tad farcical but always feature a nice array of vintage firearms. Saw one of the better ones the other day a Chinese Thompson Submachine gun converted to shoot 7.62x25...
With all the distressed Caranos coming out of Ethiopia. Its neat to see what can be done with them. There are alot of guns found "in walls" and "in barns" in Yugoslavia and Balkan countries in much worster condition. It is neat to see not only the restoration of the gun but the ammunition also.
If you are looking for older type guns. This weekend they are having a show over in Crystal Rivers at the armory. Only like 125 tables but lots of walk ins lots of interesting pieces. Honestly there was some rare items at that show. Not alot of plastic guns.. Well maybe one or two.
Also some...
Have done these shoots a couple times and a good time was had by all.. The Range people are pretty darn cool and the shooters for the most part are salt of the earth.. (except one guy he is a real butt hea... oh wait that was me)
They allow non Full Auto weapons. But where as it can be...
This guy has a lot of gun shooting videos from England. Just an interesting way to buy a gun. Of course these start off in the 15k+ range.
Also some less costly guns from Rizzini..
One of the great Mausers of history is the Turkish Enfauser. A Enfield / Mauser hybrid that can shoot 8mm Mauser ammo with the Enfield action. But the rifle just gets better it was shown that it can shoot both 8mm Mauser ammo and 303 Enfield ammo interchangeably. It sounds crazy but it works...
Had the chance to stop by the Air Force Armament Museum near Fort Walton Beach.
Not only alot of wonderful Airforce aircraft (Both inside and outside the building) but some nice weapons display. Free to go in and a great way to spend a few hours.
Per agreement, J Pace, photos of my C-96. Many thanks for yours. The Leather is marked 1918. The Stock is marked with a banner Mauser stamp. Slight hairline crack in the stock.
