Post pics of your WWI & WWII Rifles

Nice. I missed out on the 91TS all they have left are the cavalry carbines.

Yeah but the cavalry carbines are kinda neat too, if not a bit weird. I picked up a couple of those as well while the getting is good.

Collection is still growing (probably too fast honestly).
-Remington 1903a3: Basically brand new repro scant stock, two grove '43 barrel. Just got to remove the black paint..
-Type 38 Arisaka: Numbers matching including the dust cover with unmolested mum.
-MAS 36: bayonet included.

I agree.. You should probably sell me that Type 38 to make room for your next few purchases this week.. lol

Very nice.

Probably the nicest of my Carcanos: a 1941-dated M38 in 6.5. Not a recent import (I don't think there have been any M38's in 6.5 with any of the latest batches).

Swedish AG 42B, built in 1943. When shooting this rifle, it ejects the empty cases about 10 feet.

Thought y'all might like to see my recent custom stock project for my Garand. It was carved from a CMP stock, so don't freak out about me messing up an original one! I colored it with thinned down enamel paints and weathered it to fit the old gun, as well as mating the wood parts to fit the metal hardware more closely. The whole thing is textured using a stamp I made from an old punch to fit the fabric flag theme. Anyway, I hope you like it!

Very unique, quite a bit of detail.

At first glance... But second glance it's not terrible. It could grow on a guy. I wouldn't do it to my only Garand though.
What kind of response do you suppose you'd receive at a military classic rifle shoot?

I'm honestly not sure. To be honest, customized classic rifles are not usually my thing either, but I was looking for a project while I was stuck at home with the kung flu in January, and wanted to try something new, so what the hell, right? I still have a standard walnut one, too.

That basket weave thing goin' on there gives it sort of an antiqued look. Bright/shiny would be an abomination. The subdued look keeps it classic and classy.

My Enfield family keeps growing. This was a project I picked up from another gracious forum member .

A 1918 Peddle scheme , SSA manufactured, No1 mkIII* . The replacement wood is from Sarco.

 

[raftman]

Some Italians... I probably won't be adding more to the collection (until I score a decent deal on a 38 TS).

 

[WAW44]

And just added.. a sort of Enfield...in a "brother from another mother" kind of way....

All early Winchester parts, new CMP Criterion barrel, all parked to look like a WW2 era rebuild.

Because two are better than one . Eddystone m1917 (bottom) and Winchester m1917 (top).
