      If you like Russian Sniper rifles

      Lucky is best!

      I attended the Wanenmacher Arms Show in Tulsa this past weekend. I had a lengthy list of items most of which I never hoped to see and even hoped less to afford. In the second aisle I found this fantasy item! Yes, it is a Russian Berdan II bayonet which I had previously pretty much...

      FN49 Egyptian sniper rifle

      Here is a sniper rifle that you may never have seen before. All original FN49 Egyptian contract sniper rifle. I have owned another FN49 Egyptian rifle, one with the cheap replacement stock. It was a very fine shooting weapon. I had plans to shoot this one until I researched myself into...

      Enfield No 4 mk 1 (T) update and range report

      Here is the promised range report with a couple of upgrades to my NO 4 (T). I found a proper WW1 dated sling on Ebay and I decided to cobble up a period correct leather scope cover ( as near as I could determine from the all-knowing web). The sling is 1918 made by Westboro Trunk & Bag...

      Keltec RFB report

      Here is my summary, filled with great insight and thoughtful conclusion about my recently acquired Keltic RFB carbine. RifleForward(ejecting)Bullpup is totally ambidextrous in design and generally a success in that regard. It is in 7.62x51 nato chambering, so quite a bit of bang for your...

      Franco/Prussian shoot-off 2017

      This is my M1862 Dreyse Zundnadelgewehr. I promised awhile back to shoot this and my French M1866 Chassepot at the same time. Shot on a clear sunny day at 100 yds. with a 62 cal. (.610") lead ball and 60 gn of Pyrodex. You can see that the target only has 7 marks, the other three were flying...

      Dreyse M1862 needle rifle musings and other stuff

      Here are items which I cobbled up for my M1862 Dreyse needle rifle. I first had to create some paper cartridges to fire in it. I also didn’t want to use the original needle so I had to create needles for this use. A military rifle without a sling is like a day without sunshine so I had to...

      Dreyse Needle rifle cartridge update

      I couple of weeks ago I posted pics of my Dreyse M1862 Zundnadelgewehr. Some asked for more specifics on making the cartridges for this old bolt gun. So here is that. These are the mandrels that I made from 5/8" steel bar to create the papier Mache sabot for the 62mm lead ball the I used...

      M1862 Dreyse Needle rifle

      Here are pics of the latest addition to the long gun collection. I had to do some work to get the bolt action acceptable. The wood, barrel, and receiver all match but the bolt is from another gun. I made up some cartridges (paper) using 60 grains of Pyrodex and a 62 caliber lead...

      Mosin Nagant PEM sniper

      Here are pictures of my 1939 (Tula) Mosin Nagant 91/30 PEM sniper build. The rifle appears to be an ex-sniper. It has the Tula markings on the receiver and is a high-wall round receiver. I was able to get it at auction because it had two major flaws. One, the bolt was not well done and...

      M40A1 build

      Here are pictures of my M40A1 sniper build. Started with Rem700 SS mil spec barreled 24” rifle. Painted with Duracoat (grey/green) park color added the McMillan USMC M40 stock and the Redfield M40 tribute scope and this is what you get. Not as righteous as one of the GA or TBA builds but...

      XM21 (M1A) sniper build update

      Last week I posted images of my M14 sniper build. I decided to make it appear even more like the real item by adding the connector bar to the selector switch that I had already put on it. The fake switch and real connector bar are both from Fulton Armory. It did require quite a bit of...

      Cool gun...cooler story

      This is my XM21 build on a 1980 dated SAI M1A rifle. The scope is a Leatherwood scope put together by Iron Sight Inc. in Tulsa, OK from NOS Leatherwood parts. The M14 walnut stock came from the internet. Now here is the cool part. I purchased this rifle at auction only to discover that it...

      Offered here for your teutonic titillation is the latest addition to my german collection. It is in a kreigsmodell stock that has been duffle cut. The scope is an unmarked Kahles 4x60 (slightly foggy) and the rings are marked to each other but do not match the rifle. The stock is...

      Axis porn

      Here are a couple of items that I added recently to my collection. The first is a DUV 1943 G41 which is all matching and original and overall in pretty good shape. The second is a sweet WWII era Czech (Romanian contract) VZ24 sniper. Metal has been professionally re-blued and the...
