Yes I understand, sadly we have a Gun Grabbing POS sitting in the White House now.
Anyhow,
God save the Queen!

Ooh err......that's a nice collection 
Love the wood furniture SLR. I can remember when we were allowed to own those here in the UK prior to 1988. They can still be owned if converted to straight-pull action, but they are very expensive (around £3k) which is very expensive considering most of the conversions don't work properly, as they have very poor case extraction in straight-pull.
That No.5 looks a nice one as well...the No.5 was my late father's favourite from his Army service. He carried a No.5 for his 12 month tour of duty in Palestine in 1946/7, as did two of my uncles.
That's why I have an early '47 dated Faz No.5 in my rifle safe, along with a 1944 numbers matching No.4(T)
Here's my 5 and 4T keeping company with the K98kF1 I used to own.

Love that #4T
That SLR is what we call a mix master built off a Brit L1a1 kit with a Brazilian type 3 receiver and a Canadian stock set. That being said it's a good shooter.
Cost me 1K back in 2012, also came with 10 inch pattern mags & the bayonet
With the rest of my FN family.

That is an awesome collection of FN rifles, Model, wow!
Very nice, I have the STG58 (Steyr), which I love shooting.
Like GeeRam, I'm from the UK originally, so perhaps that is why I have a soft spot for them.
Though Bren guns are my current distraction.
GeeRam, I started in Berks. Maidenhead specifically, many years ago.
I tried to get my 14 year old daughter to like the .22 STG44, but when she tried it at Big 5 it was too big and heavy.
We went with a little bolt action instead.
Here is my MP44 in 8mm.
Love the way the light makes the pistol grip blue stand out.

Wow....original MP44
I've seen here in UK on the firing point next to me at Bisley, someone with one of the straight-pull versions of the new build SSD MP44's in 7.92x39 which was about the closest I'll ever get to a non-.22RF version. My Dad got to play with a few original's back in the late spring of 1945 in Germany just after VE Day in his RE unit, before the REME and CMP 'anti-fun police' went around hoovering up all the surrendered kit from all the units. He rather liked it, as he did the G43.
I'm between Wokingham and Bracknell, so not that far away from your old area.

I perfur a Gun with some actual military history behind it.

Beautiful Israeli set up - NICE!
Yes, the STG58 is an odd one, choosing the wire cutting muzzle attachment over a bayonet attachment makes me laugh - get wire in notch + twist + fire a round, super tactical, lol!
Wokingham and Bracknell, I have family in Binfield (and three buried at Binfield Church), so yes, very familiar - small world!
(The MP44 is original'ish - re-welded receiver and semi-only.)

I bought mine in Oct last year. I absolutely love it!!! Absolutely no problems.
I’ve bought the repro of an original strap for this rifle. (Most used the k-98 sling).
They made the stg -44 slung for a yr or so. Then said screw it. ! We got plenty of the others. Lol.
I do however abide by the not: HV ammo only. I run at least 1650 FPS.
I did adjust the rear sight. They are made to shoot low. Why????? Easy fix. 2 1/16 “ washers under the sight. And it’s dead in at flat sight.
Only bummer lol is they’re no binary triggered made for it.
. I highly recommend this weapon. It’s my main battle rifle.
Love the FNC! Use to have one. Wish I still had it.
Love that #4T

Yes, I only run CCI Mini-Mag through mine, as its only ammo I've found that is 99% reliable through it.
