The Mosin by which all others are measured (and most come up well short) is the Finnish M39. Guy in my club has one, gives Mausers and Enfields a real run for their money, accuracy-wise...and for a mosin that's saying something heh Wish I had one, but alas if you can find them here (which is rarely) the asking price is generally around 2 grand or more. Pardon me while I drool lol

It is a stunner, isn't it!
The Finns not only used Arctic birch (instead of the common russkie variety) but this timber reacts in the classic "Finn tiger-stripe or burl" variegated patterning which is revealed after the traditional pine tar treatment. Where the Russians just whacked on a coat of shellac when rearsenaled for storage.
Both types of birch are resistant to warping and cracking in extreme cold, an issue the Germans came across with their softer-grained walnut Mausers. And 1942 was a pretty cold year lol

Bought this to celebrate the 226th birth date of the 2nd Amendment. Got it in a 45 Colt to match my Ruger Vaquero.

Have become a full AK convert. Top a WASR 10 by Century Arms. These guns had a bad rep a few years ago but they are now getting great reviews. This gun is well put together and straight. Wood is done by Century and has excellent wood to metal fit. All rivets are done right and mag open cut is just right, works great with surplus steel mags very little wobble. Has double hook trigger by Century and is really nice. Bottom is a Polish gun done by Atlantic Firearms. Internal machining is very well done and has chrome plated bolt, carrier and gas piston. Has Tapco G2 trigger. The WASR is capable of around 2.5" groups at 100 yards with open sights, the Polish gun just hair better with Brown Bear steel case ammo. Both guns accept and will work perfectly with the mags I have Magpul, steel surplus and Tapco. Both guns came from Atlantic Firearms and highly recommend them. They do a QC check on the guns they ship. They have a large number of FFLs they work with and avoided the need to send FFL. I just had to find my FFL from their list and pay with credit card and they shipped the gun. Didnt have to leave the house until the gun arrived at my FFL :) I refinish the wood on both guns with Minwax gunstock stain and polyurethane. The WASR's stock was a straight grain and blond and turned orange, the Polish gun had a well done laminate stock and took on a nice red hue.

I do have some long-guns, but they seem a bit older than most of what's shown here, here are some of the Danish/Norwegian military ones. The first picture covers 1640-1735: This picture covers the navy from 1812-1849 on the left side, the army from 1740-1849 on the right side: This picture covers the navy from 1849-1884 on the right side and the army from 1855-1891 on the left side: And a few Civilian, all designed and made by Hans Larsen, Drammen, Norway:

Well, that was no mayor problem. I had the house and most of the collection when I met her 20 odd years ago. She had a choice "all" - or nothing. In the evenings we very often sit in each our room. She watches TV and knits in the room on the following picture, I sit in our almost weapon-free living room. As long as it is hanging on a wall, it is ok. What annoys her, is all the junk under coaches & sideboards and behind doors.

Usually I am shooting my muzzleloaders original or ones I made. However it is nice to have a shoot a modern rifle. Here is my C.Z. carbine in .30-06. The target is a off hand group at 50 yards. ( click on the photo to enlarge ) Andy
