Sooo true, Nirvana. It's a whole different discussion and probably one worthy of a dedicated thread in the collecting forum below, but it reminds me of documentaries or TV series in which the museum...

So much derp there now. The Military Mauser, Italian Weapons and Mannlicher, et al. forum still attract talent, but the French one is about to slip into the abyss. Agree on kelt being the...

That's a post-war, communist Yugoslavian stock, not original to the rifle and not related to Slovakian production.

Mother of All That Is Holy, do tell... :biggrin1:

Outstanding! :thumbsup:

You're correct, there's next to no info on these, or the Type II's for that matter. That one is in nice shape, certainly better than alot of the standard configuration...

Good question, I wish I could answer that definitively for you. It seems like things became less 'standard' and more variable in terms of support kit like slings the later in the war it was. Given...

Very cool, and in the Great White North, no less! :thumbsup:

Definitely an odd-ball (the late Model 91/28) as the Carcanos go, made even more interesting by the depot stamp, which are only rarely...

Nice!
I love the Hungarian rifles. The 43M's are great rifles and well built. Here's one of mine:

What's your import mark say?

That's a beauty kampfy, great pick-up!

...who can't be bothered to carry a gun for a living.

No worries! It didn't come off that way at all.

Mike,
Have you had it out of the stock yet? Just wondering what the receiver/barrel markings are like.

Ha! The Krieghoff conversions are legit, but the double cross-bolt conversions are a dime a dozen.

Nice M41, Mike! :thumbsup:

Even though some non-essential things (full stamping, for example) were omitted later, the overall build quality for these remained very high all the way to the end. ...

Very cool rifle, Mike! I agree, I really like that sling swivel modification. It reminds me of some of the ones done on Vz.24 rifles. Congrats on a cool pick-up!
Best,
Pat

Very nice M.95 long rifle. It's nice to find one still chambered in 8X50R :thumbsup:

Anytime, I'm glad I could help in a small way.
I asked about the bolt closing as modified magazine followers are frequently overlooked or not recognized as German alterations in rifles like that.

Repeating myself, but nice snag! It looks good. Love the nice Petar II stamp on the stock, it's in great shape. Does the bolt close on an empty magazine?

Very cool rifle and a great pickup. Congrats!

It happens to ALOT of people at some point, don't beat yourself up over it. Hopefully you didn't pay alot for it.

Let's drive on. Things like this are why we come to this site. There are...

Fake stamps. The WaA63 stamps appear to have been struck over pitting, in fact.

Exactly. Not to split hairs, but I think the SS Divisions resting there (9th and 10th) had E&E'd from northern France earlier in 1944. Very cool photo, and one that shows that the 2nd-3rd lines of...

Very interesting! Not surprisingly, Beutewaffen were still being used for non-combat assigned units.

Great score! Beutewaffen or not, that one is really nice.

Nice ones Mike, congrats on finding the carbine bayonet especially. :thumbsup:
