Here's one of my prized pieces. We'll it's actually my aunts. I was finally able to convince her to let me lock it up in the safe instead of being her edc and laying on her night stand. Of course I had to buy her a taurus 85 ul 38 special to replace it so she would have something to carry or keep close by. This Walther PP is a late war time production and a bring back not an import. My aunt carried it for last 45 50 years. From my research it was made before American troops took over the factory and they was making them as quick as they could and thus leaving off alot of the common makers marks. Hardly any of the Walther markings are on the slide but does have ac code and other german/nazi markings. It doesn't get shot alot but I still run a few rounds through the old girl from time to time. It has aged to have nice brown patina. And has factory magazine.

My newest MilSurp

A mutt 1936 Luger. It is a VOPO, East German rework police gun. Mismatched and force matched.

Belgian Browning, Nazi issue brought back from WW2 by my father

Love seeing stuff floating around that our forefathers brought home. Don’t see it much anymore. Crazy to think that a browning gun was captured from a nazi

New to me 1944 Inland Div. M1 carbine. I can only assume that it was re-arsenal’d for Korea. No import marks what so ever. I added a pouch and sling from worldwarsupply. I’ve never owned a carbine and could instantly see why these guns were loved by the joes that carried them. Such a light and handy little rifle.

 

[Justin Norris]

Very ballistically similar to the 357 mag, and a heck of a lot more wieldy than the Garand

Nice carbine!

My father told me everyone wanted to acquire a carbine and a Jeep once they got out of the service at the end of the war, him included. My mother had other ideas and he had to wait for me to get both in the family!

Beautiful carbine

One of the most fun guns i've ever owned. I wish I still had one, and ammo for it.

WOW, that's purdy

WOW, that's purdy

It runs like a champ, too. Unfortunately, it'll wreck your ammo budget real quick!

 

[Gardner]

No doubt

Dropping some pics from the National Infantry Museum at Ft Benning. Definitely worth a visit.
It's outside the gate so no jumping through hoops to go see it.

I prefer the higher sights on the Commonwealth and Israeli rifles. Very nice rifle. FWIW the USGI sling is backwards.

 

[East of Here]

The Swiss K31 is ridiculously accurate with GP11 ammo. And with that straight pull action, they are also fun to shoot.

Peculiar stock coloration, what is the story there?

 

[rufrdr]

Took my K31 to Woodys today until the rain chased me home. The Swiss Products clamp on muzzle brake tames the 7.5 round to feel like a .223!

That looks like a good investment. That 7.5 is a bit of a thumper. I only put about 20 rounds through mine, and still felt it a little the next day.

Tightened the groups up a bit too. Pierre St. Marie makes good K31 stuff. Mine also has his clamp on mount and left hand bolt adapter.

Jra said every now and then a really nice stock comes through the kits he buys
