View attachment 357185 Ok here's an odd one for you all. An Italian Bodeo dated 1918

Ok after several months of trying to find a left side plate and grip panel, I threw in the towel and made them myself, this is the result, I also was able to order a box of 50 rounds for it. So as soon as the ammo arrives I'm going to take this WW 1 vet out and shoot her a few times.

My Third Cousin hunted with a Colt Lighting in .45-85-285. The test of the Family used Winchester Model 94s in .30-30. A .30-30 would rattle all the way from Chamber to Muzzle! If course, he was the one who forgot his Ammunition in Town and was the ONLY one who even saw a Deer!

My first and only gun. Maybe I should trade it for something more practical. Or a few things more practical. Lol. Civil war 1863 sharps carbine converted to 50/70 in 1866 to fight in the Indian wars.

Y'know, here in yUK I could actually buy and own a rifle like that without ANY documentation of any kind - it's an obsolete calibre, y'see.

However, that there is a genuwine piece of real American history, and seeing as how you live in a country where you can have as many of any kind of gun that you care to pay for, there is no way on earth that I'd part with that for for something more 'practical'. I say 'practical' there, but I bet that nobody shot with that is around to complain that it didn't work.

You are probably right. But part of me is considering turning one gun into 5. Bet there is someone who would love this enough to fully arm me. Lol.

I have a Mossberg Model 46 M (B) with the Manlicher stock and diopter sight. Made '48-'52 as I understand. I really dig the looks of Manlicher stocked guns . Those things are heavy too.

No idea. Have never owned one, have been issued but I always found a replacement as my job allowed that.

The M-16 was "Stacked" using the Sling since no "Stacking Swivel" was included in the design.

Well another post made me realize I should show off this one. Got it from cmp about a month ago. Service grade H&R in new cmp stock with a new old stock barrel it appears 0 and 1 readings on tag! Tore it down slight surface rust which sounds normal right now with the Philippine guns. No heavy pitting or other damage I could find. Cleaned lubes and went shooting. It shoots like it was new! It's in a gi stock now well I oil up the cmp stock it was dry like you wouldn't believe!
