      Added an M44 to the collection

      Had to wait on the sling to come in from Liberty Tree and the ammo pouch from eBay before I could get a picture. Best I can determine they are correct to the time period. Nothing special but I didn’t have one - that is reason enough isn’t it? When the SVT ammo pouch comes in from the Ukraine...

      Who makes/sells a MD legal M16A1 clone?

      Looking to add an early Vietnam, standard issue, M16A1 clone to my MilSurp collection and I’m looking for recommendations on who makes a decent clone that is Maryland legal. Zero interest in putting one together myself - looking for an off the shelf clone. Thanks in advance.

      Knife Sharpening Guy At Huntingtown TSC every other Sunday

      Just as a heads up, there is a knife sharpening guy that is at the Huntingtown TSC every other Sunday. Next date is 29 Oct. He does an exceptional job at a very fair price. I have no ties with the business, just a very satisfied customer that’s glad he is available to us locally.

      Any SVT-40 experts / knowledgable folks here? I have questions....

      Looking at an arsenal refurbished Tula 1942 SVT-40. I have done a lot of reading but have only become more confused on a couple things. 1. It is a post-war arsenal overhaul yet it has the earlier 6 slot muzzle brake . According my research, Factory No.314 (Tula) started production of 2-port...

      Eastern Front -1943

      The Eastern Front, 1943. The 1944 Russian holster for the TT-33 finally came in from the Ukraine so I dug out the Eastern Front guys for a group photo. Still looking for the right SVT-40, PPK and P.08. Those will have to wait until next fishing season. All firearms pictured are 1941-1943...

      1941 Tula Tokarev TT-33

      Been looking for awhile and finally came across one that checked most of the boxes. 1. I wanted a 1939-1944, ideally a 1941, the year the Germans invaded Russia in Operation Barbarossa. This one is a 1941 Tula model. 2. Not refinished - this one is not. Not much of the finish is left but it has...

      Swiss K-31 troop tag?

      I finally got around to taking the butt plate off my 1943 K-31. Is this what they mean when folks talk about “troop tags”? Two separate pieces of writing under there. One appears to be on almost regular paper and the other is a little heavier material. Both handwritten. I didn’t mess with them...

      Filled the French / German hole in the collection: MAB-D

      Yesterday I posted a pic of my WWII handgun collection and mentioned I was in the market for a few I was missing, specifically a French MAB-D. After a little advice and encouragement from so_mustangs, I decided to make an offer on a MAB-D rig I had been watching. It's about an 80% condition...

      Fulton Armory overhaul of my Feb 1943 CMP Rack Special is complete

      Back in January I dropped off a Feb 1943 CMP Rack Special at Fulton Armory for a complete overhaul. This afternoon they called and said it was done....I plan to pick it up Monday - pics to follow. Here is a screen cap of what they did. Two years ago, I had them build me a Winchester M1...

      Pair of pre-surrender French MAS-36's

      Both Pre-Capitulation Top one is a early June 1940, all matching but bayonet is unserialized. Bottom one is a December 1939 with mismatched bolt but rifle and bolt are both “H” series. Of all the MilSurp rifles, the French MAS is one of my favorites. I have no idea why. It's ugly and has that...

      Bought Another Pre-Occupation MAS-36

      I have a Dec 1939 MAS-36 (H-block serial number) but the stock is missing the month/year cartouche although the stock serial number matches but the bolt is also mis-matched . I wasn't really looking for a more "correct" one but I came across an all matching, June 1940 model - made right before...

      1917 Eddystone Model of M1917

      Had no intention of buying another gun but then..... I stumbled across this on a CMP Forum. I made the fella an offer and I now it's headed my way from PA. It's been re-arsenaled / parkerized and the stock has been sanded but it retains a faint re-arsenal cartouche and it's original October...

      Colt Army Model 1917 .45 ACP DA Revolver

      There has been an exceptional Colt Model 1917 listed online for quite awhile that I thought was way overpriced. It has been listed and re-listed over and over for months without a price reduction. Last night I went fishing and made the guy an offer more inline with what I thought was reality...

      1943 Swiss K31

      Got back from Florida later than expected but finally got to go pick up my K31 and thought I’d share some pics. Based on the serial number it was manufactured at W-F in 1943. All numbers matching with an excellent bore. It came with brass muzzle cap, sling, bayonet and the scabbard. The...
