New acquisitions for May 2007

[kingson]

Here are the 2 guns that I have picked up so far this month. First one is a Finish Mosin Nagant M91 with bayonet and sheath. It has a barrel date of 1941. I haven't taken it apart to see the tang date. The second one is a Swedish Mauser, a Carl Gustafs M96 made in 1907, with a bayonet.

The finn looks gorgeous. Love the wood grain.

Commercial M1 carbine - Plainfield model. Picked up on Tuesday night, which actually makes it the first acquisition this month.

Just came back from a range trip, so she's still a little dirty. But she's a fun girl, and a JERSEY girl, too! (Yeah, I'm from Jersey - and no, I won't tell you what exit!)

Nice grab Ross, hope to get a chance to see it at the spring shoot.

 

[JuergenG]

Even if I had the $$, I don't have the time to keep up with you!! You're gun buying machine!!

oh yeah, nice score!

Thanks !
1 1/2 out of the 4 this month weren't planned for.
I grabbed them, because they came in pretty cheap.
OTOH, I was after the Heym for over 6 months.

I'm not much of a shotgun person, but that one I like.

Does the stock come off real easy (no tools required)?

A new N

Running a little behind with taking the pictures, but here is one that I recently picked up. I've been busy shooting it, instead of shooting it with a camera.

I waited today like a school-kid for the BBT to deliver these beauties. 1929 and 1940 mfr Tula Nagant 1895 revolvers.

I was always told that my Grandfather was an officer in the Czar's Army before escaping Russia sometime in the early 191xs. If so, I guess he may have carried a sidearm like these!

My Wife's reaction to this purchase was very different than the past. She agreed that this was quite a good deal and she really wants to see them!

I suspect that the holsters/lanyards are repro with modern day materials.

 

[BONZCNC]

Nice!! I've always put off buying one of these with my C&R orders, I think you changed my mind

Bonz...

Blood Hound, they are Ahrends Retro Target stocks, with the round butt to square conversion, my hands never fit the ones that came with it (Ahrends combat boot grips). I also have the same stocks on a model 19 but of course for a K frame. Very repeatable grip. With the rubber Hogues that came with it also, I have to fight to keep my hands high on the backstrap.

[JonJ]

jon what kind? stag???

No. I it's from J&T Distributing/Doublestar. Looks like very good quality and they're nice people to deal with. A family operation out of Kentucky.

 

[SFWriter]

What are they SFW?

The top gun is a 686 4" with cocobolo presentation grips. The lower one is a 629 4" with basic checkered walnut grips. In both cases they fit my hand better than the Hogue rubber they came with.
