M-1 rifles have what appears to be an extra sling swivel on the forearm. It's actually called a stacking swivel. It was designed to allow stacking the rifles in a tripod. I took a few pics today since the weather was nice. I'm sure there is a reference in a military training manual somewhere as to how to properly hook three rifles together but since I never had the honor of serving in the military I may have these hooked incorrectly.

They may want to use it for the intro in the next Bond movie.The launcher barrel still has a nice bore with crisp rifling. I think I am gonna need a bigger bore brush...
At least he did not cut barrel down to 16" and put an AR stockNot exactly milsurp anymore but a Czech made DOU stamp k98k. Previous owner drilled and tapped for scope mounts right on one of the roll marks. View attachment 52458

Nice! I see you are a fellow Lee-Enfield enthusiast!One of these or an LEC or both?
Here is some German in action for you...Giving the thread a bump with some Mil-surp displays from military history events. Always cool seeing the other collections laid out.

Not mine but discovered on municipal property of a city I worked for by one of my crews. It is a very rare WW1 German 105mm howitzer. I got it recovered and stabilized so it didn't deteriorate any further and put it in storage pending final disposition. It had an interesting history as to how it came to be dumped in weeds behind a park maintenance building!
