Remington 1903. 30-06 above.
Adjustable ring sight at the rear.
Maybe a WW2 war barrel with shorter aftermarket stock put on later on. IDK.
It says Remington, but from what I understand all the war rifles were Springfields.
And I've read that Springfield Arms of today is not associated (in any way whatsoever) with the original Civil War-WW2 company.

Winchester Model 61 .22LR pump below.
Some internet pics have the scope further forward.

I had a Remington made 1903A3 that was built in 42 and rebarreled in 44
I got it with that barrel as good as new..I think it must have gone to arsenal and never used a second run during WW2

I used it for mostly 600 yds shooting in UK, and once shot it to 900 yds (past the elevation range with holdover), prone, sling, no support and was in the black for 10 shots with 4 V bulls..

At 600 yds laying next to a friend shooting scoped 6.5 mm AI rifle.. He'de be shooting Vbull after Vbull.. and I would just circle around his shots with iron sights and just my sling..

It had a great trigger and clearly the WW2 barrels were very good

That's not the sling i used , had a 1907 newly made by Moore Leather in UK, made to be period correct
That's the only rifle i regret selling

go ahead .....

1860 Colt Army made in 1863. This was my grandfather's. My cousin gave it to me last deer season, I needed to replace a couple screws, a spring, the nipples and fit a trigger.

It shoots pretty nicely. :D

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition..I am getting ready for Armageddon time. #PTR32#

Just now?
 

I have one of the PTR32 rifles that I bought probably 5 or 6 years ago, right when they hit the market (I think). After shooting it for a while, I decided that I liked it well enough to get rid of my AR15! Great sights, excellent action (roller lock like the STG44), uses cheap AK47 mags and uses probably the cheapest ammo on the market. What's not to like? Plus, they are made in the good ole US of A in South Carolina! I keep the rifle and a couple of loaded 30 rd mags "just in case". Of late, I have been thinking about the 60 rd drum mags that are on the market. Can't decide if I want one of them or 10 more regular mags! Anyway, you done good, Tabs. Hope you enjoy your rifle as much as I have mine.

PS, If you disassemble the bolt for cleaning, you will need a large pair of channel lock pliers to re-set the rollers. The spring that holds them in the locked position is quite strong!

Sorry, no picture but what is a Browning BAR 0.308 rifle? ...


Lee

It's modern day Browning cashing in a bit on the legacy and reputation of one of the most famous battle implements of all time - the Browning Automatic Rifle. It was designed by John Moses Browning towards the end of WWI as a full automatic capable heavy rifle / light machine gun in .30-'06 caliber. It was kind of the precursor to the Squad Automatic Rifle, and was used as such through the Korean War. It's a big, heavy piece of equipment that earned a sterling reputation.

The modern BAR is a semi-automatic hunting rifle, and widely acknowledged as one of the best of its kind ever made. It's kind of odd that Browning chose to assign it such a revered name, since it really needs no such cheesy marketing. It stands quite well on its own.

I have a hunting BAR I use for jumpy white tail. I enjoy shooting it and since it came from a family member after he passed I will never sell it.

Thank you, Jeff, for your response! Very helpful, as are all your posts. You as well, 911boost! ...

Just ordered a new toy, a Crossman BMPWX. For those of you that don't know what a BMPWX is, it is a CO2 powered AR15 lookalike BB gun. What makes this BB gun special, you ask? Well, it can be fired in semi auto mode or full auto mode! Firing rate is approximately 1400 rounds (well, after all, a BB is round!) per minute! And, it comes with a red dot sight! All the squirrels in my yard are just going to love this baby! Oh, yeah, I bought one for my (37 year old) son for Christmas also! Let the BBs fly!

Forgot the picture!
 

Star Wars/steam punk inspired Blaster type thing in 22lr (yes, real AR parts other than bolt group and barrel)

Still pondering on a muzzle device (that A2 is just on for the pic). Don't think I'll add a hand guard. In the tradition of storm troopers not being able to hit shiat there are no sights on it - but if I hold it just right I can align the rail and be fairly dead on at 25 yards, and keep it in a 4" group. Will probably end up with some rail adapters that take low profile Glock sights.

Regarding the Crossman BMPWX - How long does the CO2 charge last on full auto? Is that just a regular CO2 capsule?

Anyone care to guess what this spoon is?
(Hint: it isn’t a Browning Hi-Power - those don’t have a safety / decocker. )

Cz

Or Česká zbrojovka as they say.

Say what !
 

I think I would get cramps in my tongue if I tried to say that!

My son is getting one of those for Christmas! And when I say my son I really mean me.:D

I don't think CZ offered any slide mounted decockers - at least, when I was looking for one. Got a 75bd w/ frame mounted decocker.

My TA-90 - a Italian 75 clone - had a slide mounted decocker like that.

I know there were a few others at the time - Springfield and IMI/Jerico - that offered decocker instead of safety, but I think only the Tanfoglio were slide mounted.

That also leaves the possibility of a S&W.... I know they did a split design deal with CZ that produced the P40 and I forget teh S&W model number....

Ralphie would be jealous but I think this is what he really wants

Nope - it isn’t a CZ. But you are on the right track, geographically speaking... ;)

It is a Hungarian made FÈG P9R.
P = Pisztoly = pistol
9 = 9mm Parabellum
R = Rendőr = Police.

It was a government issue sidearm for the Police.

A bit of history: FEG - Fegyver- és Gépgyártó Részvénytársaság - Firearms and machinery Corp. produced an exact duplicate of the Browning High-power without their permission. Upon getting the cease and desist order from Browning, FEG made some modifications to the action (double & single action), added a safety / decocker, and continued to produce the spoon with no further lawsuit threats from Browning.

A bit of personal history: my father was a professor at a Hungarian boarding school during the height of the communist regime. He was also studying to be a man of the cloth. Before each meal, my father would stop and pray with his students. He was advised not to continue that practice. He refused, and was arrested not once, but twice. Upon his second release, he was stripped of his teaching certificate and forced to work at FEG, producing firearms for the Hungarian and Russian soldiers and police.

But that didn’t stop my father. He completed his theology degree and became an ordained minister, and continued preaching into his late 90’s. He passed his 100th birthday this past March 9th, and left the shackles of this earth less than a month later. Even this past February, he was still giving short prayers before meals for the residents in his nursing home a couple of miles from me. He didn’t let the communists win....

(Yes - I miss him dearly...)

Here’s another gratuitous pic of the spoon:

I have a Sig 220 in 45 ACP and a Sig 320 compact in 9mm. I really like both of them! I've had the 220 for over 35 years and would not even think of getting rid of it!

That’s a cool story Z.

Shocking, I got a holster for Christmas!!!

This will be the next rifle that I will buy

Posted earlier in another thread.

I remember when these were the gun to own back in the "naughties". Still a great pistol IMO.

Nice holster... Good hand stitching like that is becoming rare. Machine stitching has become the norm but it lacks character IMO.

What I don't get is that they actually turned those in.
in Belgium everybody had a garden gun, suddenly they made the law such that it required a permit... and the next day nobody had a garden gun.

They hadn't been destroyed, turned in, gotten registered, they simply "vanished".
I hear they are very good for roof insulation and what not.

If you see documentaries bout gold hunters or whatever in Australia, they all seem very rough around the edges.
Dashcam vids out of Oz seem to back that up.
But clearly they are eager to comply to draconian measures , and simply turn everything in upon simple request? odd.

Stijn

There was a what I would describe as a "Generous Buy Back" as part of the law changes and a lot of people took advantage of that.
And just quietly I have it on good authority that not all of the guns were handed in.

I handed mine in because I didn't want to jump through the Gumbits hoops to keep them LEGALLY.

Here's a link to my state's guns laws if you're interested - Excellent reading if you're ever having issue sleeping... :rolleyes:
You'll note that sling shots (home made and commercial) are now illegal to posses in South Australia. This is a recent addition.

note, we never got any buy backs, just hand em over and we'll destroy em for you.
Interstingly enough a lot of cops suddenly had large collections of historical arms. :rolleyes:

the local rozzers in charge of permits even got caught for it.. and they are still the local rozzers in charge of the permits to this day.
