Passing the time

Between only going to work and home and not doing much else I decided to make a post that will hopefully help pass a little time. I was looking for something to do the other day and decided to do a little photo shoot. I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who has helped me out on a few questions I’ve had. This forum is great and I really appreciate all the information I’ve been learning as a newer member of this group. So feel free to post your own pics on here so I can pass a little time checking them out.
First pic is of my little collection. Second is of the two I got through the trader section on here.

Like the depot rework rifle with the blank receiver. Very nice collection.

Thank you. That was my first mauser that sent me down the rabbit hole lol. It has some matching numbers but not all and a non number matching stock. I learned a lot about it from everyone on here. I’m very happy with it.
 
Cool thread and nice rifles! I just got a WW2 USGI blanket and wanted to test how pics come out on it. Ham suggests this is a good pic backdrop so let's see.

Here are my 4 favorite rifles and a P38. The dots are all matching, byf is floorplate/sight/hood mm and the dou is bolt/handguard/bandspring/hood mm. But the wood on these is great, and nothing gets the blood flowing like sharp bolt cutouts and deep recoil lugs!

Very nice. I love a good group shot.

Thanks Nathan.

Here's a shot using same backdrop of a mostly original Mauser stock I scored this week (smells like firewood so it might have some old polish on it, not sanded though)...Now really seems like a buyer's market!

Very nice! Does the BYF have a walnut stock? The blanket definitely makes a good back drop for sure.

No JB, sorry for the confusion. The byf sits in its original laminate stock, and I got a separate Mauser walnut stock because it looks good and could make nice trade bait later on. Extra stock is also from early 1943 like the byf, but a bit earlier. And thank you! You could probably tell but those were cell phone pics :laugh:

Hey no problem I got it now lol. I am still trying to train my eye to tell the difference between a walnut and a laminate by pictures. Certain pics I can tell easily others not so much but hey I’m trying.
