Enjoy. :vcool:

Gorgeous collection! :Drool1:

That's a pretty cool pic. It would make a good wallpaper.

I am not a carbine man but that is quite nice! Great photography for sure! I think I maybe have ten or so of different varieties and years. Not many M38's at all as most I find are shot to hell and counter bored to death. I don't mind a counter bore on an M91 because the muzzle velocity still stays up there with that long barrel but when you get a counter bored carbine length rifle it really suffers over 100 yards with bullet drop. You end up with trajectory versus bullet drop! Now I do like 91/59's and had quite a few of them over the years. I just like the always great triggers in them babies! Thanks for Sharing that picture! Bill :wink:

I shot my m44 quite a bit this weekend and it was great. I am looking at your pic and thinking a few more would be nice myself. Nice picture.
