So who's getting a CMP 1911?

How much are they gonna be and how old or what generation?

I'll give you $300 for it, that's a $44 profit right in your pocket!

Jeeez Craig…Hammering me?...and we've fished together :confused: How about $325?

There was a Creedmoor match at the club today. Interesting group, shooting high caliber pistols at 200 meters laying down holding the gun against their leg. The guy with this 45-70 hit 10 rams in a row at 200 meters.

You can see they have a sense of humor (even if they can't spell).

High Praise..............
 

Thanks, Jeff, after seeing some of the great guns that you own, I will take that as high praise indeed! Sometimes I wonder what my taste in firearms would have been if I had lived a hundred plus years ago? Maybe 50 or 60 years from now someone will proudly display my former Sig 220, saying what great condition it is in for something 100 years old!

So where do I get a holster like this for a Single Six in .22LR that isn't terribly expensive?

I have a Hunter holster, with a 25rd belt for my Single Six. They make different holsters for different length barrels.

Thanks, the Hunter 1100 looks just like that one.

So I am at mom and dad's last night and ask dad what holster is in the picture so he brings it up and it is a Hunter 1100 series.

Dad got the holster, belt and nickel 5.5" Double Nine for $25 back in the late 60s.

Still in good shape after all those years.

Mismatched numbers on the 98K. Bet there are no import marks on the 1916 98 GEW, probably not even rebuild markings and likely to be all numbers matching. the 1916 GEW's are the most likely to be in the best original condition and matching numbered of all the 98 GEW's. After WW1 many of the GEWs were reworked during the Weimar period, and many went to Spain during the Spanish civil war of the 1930's (and are marked on the stock). With the reworks and field repairs during WW1 and WW2 it isn't easy to find matching numbered GEW's or 98K's. .

The Mauser 71/84's are in the best overall condition because for the most part there were never issued as black powder cartridges became suddenly obsolete with the advent of smokeless powder which allowed for smaller caliber high velocity cartridges. As such they were stored away and during the 1960's were imported into the USA in virtually new condition where you could buy them for about $30.

Personally I think that if I were to collect military Mausers I would have...a 71/84, a 1896 Swede Sniper, a 1916 98 GEW, A 98 GEW Kar AZ, a Serviceman's Tgt 98 GEW and a 1934 Mauser Banner 98K...all would have to be matching of course...and I would have to think about a 71 Kar and a 98 33/40 mountain Kar.

Then if I wanted a commercial Mauser I would go for a cased Rigby 98 Sporter. The one that I would dream about having would be the one in the photo on the cover of the 2000 Standard Catalog Of Firearms...Starting around 1903 Rigby acquired the exclusive rights to commercial 98 actions.

Some one who likes High Standards

Probably true, I wouldn't mind a Woodsman but prefer the Ruger in that style, especially an older Mk II.

The Gew is all matching and duffle cut and no import marks.

But that Erma is my prize - even though not a matching bolt, and as most were separated at capture that is no big deal to me.
What is VERY cool is that it is a Posnan depot rebuild and to quote some very reliable sources - no doubt a combat carried rifle which is rarer than most people think.

Incidentally I was researching unit disks on Gews and there was a picture of a rifle with a but-stock carved by the soldier that brung it back - some guy Tabs owned it.

Husky 1640 30-06, 1954.

Gave it to the kid that works for me for 5 years service above and beyond.
- VERY tough to let this one go. Such a beauty. But he deserved it, and now he and his girl can hunt together.

That rifle is gorgeous, hopefully he takes many a animal with it to put on the table. :)

pulled these out to take to the range the other day.

If any of us are stuck in California and you want a semi automatic rifle with a detachable magazine get on it! there's a ban waiting for a liberal governor to sign.

OK, no pic yet but a question. I am looking for a holster for a full size 1911 that is comfy for a 5'11" frame. I have a generic OWB for when I mow so I can swap the .2 barrel in and shoot the stupid rodents that get into the garden and such. Looking for a IWB for concealment for those times I would want to carry it. I am not too overweight.

Now I have a pic from out getting it "broken in".

Hard to beat the beauty of a Kimber 1911.

It was also hard to keep it to myself. The kids and dad went out ad they all shot it as well. It is a blast with the .22 conversion on it as well. I finally had to tell our youngest to let others have a turn.

For break in Wally World had WWB for $72 for a box of 200 rounds. They only had one box left.

One of our friends had this happen. Marines and their equipment.
