    Went To an Estate Sale In Kempner Texas

    I've always wondered if Hitler didn't know he was building a billion dollar trinket empire.

    Can my chopped, original stock be made whole again?

    I concur. The work required to 'right' this stock is too great. I'd replace with a complete stock/band set.

    General opinion on ammo

    Agreed. No sense in shooting this ammo. This is not made anymore and a collectable. If you want to shoot use commercial/milsurp

    Feuerzangenbowle EuF find.

    Looks like a nice bring back Luftwaffe (LBA) issue rig. That glass of beer looks delicious too. Oil and a rag will keep the scabbard in shape. Everyone has their own opinion, but I'm in the don't put leather preservative on the frog. This set's nice as is

    M1918 Tankgewehr Arrived!

    That is awesome! Nice pick up that looks reasonable in condition and complete. There was a t-gewehr hanging up on the wall of the East Grand Army Navy for the first 25 years I can remember. The guy that owned the place refused to take it down "too damn heavy, I'd never get it back up there". He...

    Pistols on a Zeltbahn.....

    Love a pile of old gear. Really love a pile of old gear on a German shelter quarter. I'd put the German army camo tent in my top ten of most cool pieces of pre 45 army gear, all countries considered. Nice collection!

    MG34 and MG42 Ammunition Boxes

    Interesting read. 30 years ago, Larry Stewart would set up at the Dallas Market Hall and Great Western, and I swear he had three pallets of the tan and green camo ammo cans and the larger 'ammo can' that held the individual oil canisters. They were all 37 or 39? dated. For some reason I thought...

    M18 helmet for review

    Pre apologize for being a knowledge user, but, I've got this here M18 helmet. Basically it was a trade locally for some stuff I didn't want for something I liked and could look at on my shelf.

    Can't help but laugh at this GB G41 listing.

    That's 41m pricing for a nice 41m. Why?

    G41 (W) with bolt hold open

    If you check the G41W serial study on Espeholt's site you will see the rifle above and below 4880 are also laminate (#4863/#5276). I'm convinced this is the stock this rifle was wearing when it left Walther. How it has furniture on the forward end from another rifle I'm not sure. The only change...

    G41 (W) with bolt hold open

    This is definitely the rifle I bought from Mel Smith 15 years ago. It was originally labeled as a replaced laminate stock with no bayonet lug. The stock is original to the rifle (check the serial number data, as at least two were made with laminate stocks within close range). The bayonet lug was...

    Champagne Rune SS Fraud Exposed Video Series

    I'm sick to think Ken was implicit in this. It's not even about the $. It's about the character. I'm literally floored and disgusted right now.

    Flak crew

    It's amazing the stories of Brit and European kids who fell in love with US forces during and immediately following the war. Lots of them wound up serving for the good ole USA in the 50's and 60's. Rick Rescorla specifically comes to mind. Great pics byf!
