I won this rifle not too long ago on Gunbroker. It was more expensive than I had a originally hoped, but once I got it in my hands, I don't see myself ever letting it go. In the listing, the pictures were just okay, but not great. Not a ton of detail, but enough to see this was definitely something ...

Here's my first of five M/24s I currently own (one more is in transit). This is a straight barreled SIG with the very rare Nylands-Södra (NSD) barrel marking. This was actually just dumb luck that I obtained a NSD marked M/24 as it came from an auction house with multiple rifles listed in the same l...

Wow that's a reboot? Great Job. Only the second a Civil Guard district marked 91/24 bayonet I have seen. I own the other one. Yours is in nicer condition. Is there a maker mark on the scabbard? What manufacturer made the bayonet. I'm believe the story that the Finns sharpened the rattails to a poin...

Since I haven't posted most of this on here, I figured I'd share the new Finnish collection. I'll post a couple pics of each and put a link to the rest of the pics. After selling it all last year after my wife passed, I must say I am thrilled to get back into the hobby and I'm looking forward to the...

Haven't posted on here in a while, just wanted to share one of my newest acquisitions. This was actually an item I had on layaway since April, so I've had to drool over pictures until it finally arrived. Aside from the chipped tang, the stock is absolutely gorgeous, I tried to do it justice with my ...

Glad to be back on the forums again, I've posted here and there but been mostly quiet over the last few months. For those of you that don't know, my wife (27) passed away in June of last year. It has been a very tough road. I ended up liquidating about 99% of my Finnish collection to help pay bills,...

I present to you my two most recent KLP district additions to the collection, my second KLP district M28/30 and a KLP marked Böhler-Stahl M24. The M28/30 came along with the help of a friend and the M24 from the trader on Gunboards. Both are from the Etelä-Kymenlaakson CG district. Been busy moving ...

Its a beauty Walt! Congrats on a fine Finn! ;)

Thanks gents!

This is one of those Finns that I've wanted since I got into collecting, wasn't sure I'd ever find one. Anyways, a little bit about the rifle, here is the translation of the ledger provided by Martti/Mangrove of Gunboards (original ledger at bottom of post): S/N 21212. Walnut stock. Rifle was inspec...

We never did get any snow from that big storm here where I live in Ohio, but we did have some a week or so before. Just enough for a special addition snow scene, lol. http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/CE_1941_K98/Updated%20M28/2016-01-13_16.42.45.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367...

Won this one on gunbroker a little over a week ago. Just picked it up this afternoon. Made for a nice Black Friday, without any of the crazy shoppers. ;) Hope you enjoy the pictures! Also hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/CE_1941_K98/SA%201943%20Tu...

Awesome! Love the look of that one! ;)

Picked this one up today from my FFL, another Facebook find. Quite the oddity, IMO. This one was originally posted as a poor photo of a NEW marked barrel shank, and the left side showing somewhat of an odd number marking. I asked for better pics and sure enough it was an "o" prefix serial ...

Here they are! Two lovely M91 Dragoons joined the collection yesterday! This was an interesting story, to say the least - especially with the P-26 Dragoon. That one started out as a random, early-morning Facebook check. The post the guy made was almost quite literally, "Hey guys, I have this mo...

Thanks, if you think yours is close... ;-) (not mine) http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/CE_1941_K98/image-8.jpg I've got a Liege proof B that's about 70 numbers from yours. Mine is fully blued without any plum coloring! Mine doesn't appear to be refurbished, how about yours? I'm curious why ...

This sucker is speckled all over. As another collector out it, she's got the measles. ;-) Very odd indeed. Here are a few pics I took after work... http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/CE_1941_K98/20150407_194451_HDR2.jpg http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd367/CE_1941_K98/20150407_194315_HDR...

Nabbed this one from another forum, couldn't let it go for the price. I've seen many plum finishes but can't say I've seen a speckled plum finish like this, any thoughts? Its a solid plum finish except for the barrel shank and near the muzzle. I'm normally partial to the battle scarred examples, and...

Thanks! It certainly wasn't a fast or cheap endeavor, but it was worth it to me. I can't say I've seen another PL marked Remington out there, let alone a 1918. :) Nice save :thumbsup: For the right price I would have tried to get it also. Don't see PL marked Remingtons everyday. Pure happenstance ho...

Unfortunately I never received pictures of the rifle all together from the previous owner before the work as it is seen now was done by me. As the first three pictures show, along with my explanation, the rifle had the stock cut nearly in half near the splice and inletted for some kind of scope moun...
