New guy

Post by morgand »

New guy here just saying hello. Being an ex serviceman I am interested in history and in particular historical firearms. The picture below are of three of my girls from WWII, which would have all been on different sides of the fence. German k98, Finnish M39 and Russian 91/30. The later is what I guess is a refurb ( close up of new markings, all other serial numbers match ).

Nice rifles ! Can't tell about the sniper, what you can see looks good. That M-39 looks like it's trying to be a VKT.
