Thank you.......they go nicely with the old warhorse N.E.W I picked up a few months back

Mine has to be my newly acquired all matching 1917 Remington with German ersatz bayonet adapter......

As well as the Remington I also picked this up at the weekend, from the same gentleman as the Remington........ She's a 1941 Izhevsk 91/30, captured by the Finns in the Continuation War judging by the small "41" stamp on the barrel shank and SA marked. Fitted with a very nice pot belly sto...

I thought I'd share an interesting Mosin I picked up at the weekend. It is an all matching 1917 Remington M91 was shipped to Russia, captured by the Germans early in its career and fitted with an ersatz bayonet adapter and ended up sending it to Finland as war aid to the White Finns during the Finni...

Ah, I see......

My 7.62x5r Tigr has a Russian market spec barrel and that also puts a ring around the neck of fired cases, also had a couple of Saiga's that did the same.

What is the anti criminal marking he refers to?

Very nice, that stock is beautiful. Thank you......I feel lucky that it has its original stock and handguard and that they are in nice condition, although they were very dirty there's no major dents or scratches apart from a very small crack at the rear of the handguard but it's nothing major.The M...

Haven't logged in for awhile but thought I'd share my recently acquired New England Westinghouse. It was found in a dark corner of a deceased dealers workshop where it had sat for God knows how long covered in grease and grime and very much unloved.The cleaning rod was missing, and the only bolt ass...

I didn't say it "was" legit, but that it "appears" to be legit....there is a difference. It reminds me of Billy Crystal (Magic Max) in Princess Bride. "I didn't say he was dead, I said he was mostly dead". :chuckles: Takes more then a few marks "ONLY". And ye...

I was merely pointing out that the OP's alpha prefix is on the list of prefixes used for '44 Izhevsk PU's.Would someone fake an alpha prefix?, I doubt it. I didn't say it "was" legit, but that it "appears" to be legit....there is a difference. And the "ГИС" mark isn't a...

No problem mate

The alpha prefix, ФЛ, is one of the known alpha prefixes used on '44-dated Izhevsk PU snipers so it would appear to be legit.The rifle itself was was refurb'd at the 2nd GRAU Arsenal in Kiev (crossed square refurb stamp on barrel shank).The serial number on the bolt body appears the be in a differen...

How did you determine that Century got it out of Albania?. I guess I find it a little odd that the scope s/n is "x'd" out on the barrel but it still has a scope. But, I'm not an expert on the snipers either. But, my thoughts are that if "x'd" out scope number, the gun was retire...

Thanks mate :thumbsup: You'll be pleased to hear there are indeed a lot of serious shooters and reloaders over here, more than people would imagine.It is quite surprising that the average British person hasn't a clue how many of use actually own fiearms and shoot regularly, most don't have a clue we...

I've been reloading 7.62x39 for a while now, as milsurp was getting scarce and more expensive over here, and have used 123gr bullets from PPU, Sellier & Bellot and Lapua and they measure between .310" to .311" with some variance with some getting close to .312" I found that using...

Very nice collection you have there.....

There are still a fair few Fultons Regulated Enfields being shot around the UK every weekend, a couple of members of my local club regularly shoot their examples which are very similar with diopter target sights fitted.
