Rifle No. 5 Mk I “Jungle carbine”

1947 M47C (BSA Shirley)

Beautiful factory refurbished rifle, strangely missing receiver markings.

Anyone know if there will be more sks / french tickler imports anytime soon?

These Yugos are packing man

Found this on the government auction website lol.

All the brass you could ever want. No idea if it’s reloadable or not, but I got a chuckle out of approximately 43k lbs of brass, what it would be like to shoot that much of it lol.

1941 Kar98. All matching except for the bolt (unique story, I know). The bolt looks like a G29/40 from 1940. Everything else appears to be original.

Kriegsmarine “N” on the butt plate so I’m assuming this is a beechwood with a (formerly) laminated finish.

I managed to get the gun, a case, about 40 rounds from the late 40’s/early 50’s, a box of 100 8mm bullets, 2 sets of reloading dies, and a similar year, but non-matching bayonet for 2 grand.

What’re your thoughts? Think I did okay? Either way I’m pumped as this gun completes my WWII bolt action hunt, and now my wallet can rest for a bit.

New gun wall set-up. Hold-up displays makes some nice Canadian-compliant hangers that finally allow me to display my SPR & handguns.

4.7x33 DM11 Caseless for the Hk G11.

Just got my first gun and it was a Chinese SKS paid 850. Did I get ripped off?

Picked up this Springfield M1 Garand Tipo 2 recently and I’m honestly blown away by the condition and overall feel of this rifle. Always wanted a Garand and this one immediately felt right after looking at several.

From what I’ve been able to gather so far:
7.62 NATO configuration
Italian/FAT markings
original cocoon storage packaging
very clean bore and strong rifling
beautiful aged walnut stock
appears to have been preserved more than abused
Serial is in the 166xxx range.
Still learning more about the Tipo 2 history and markings.
Would love to hear from anyone else with a Tipo 2 or Italian-marked Garand. What serial range is yours in and how original is it?
Also curious would you guys preserve it as-is or shoot it regularly?

My post, waste lands minute-man load out. 1954 Tula, and a Smith & Wesson Victory Revolver as back up.

I personally believe the worlds gone to shit, because the average man doesnt own a bottle of boiled linseed oil anymore..

Since there's an exemption in the OIC that allows natives to hunt with their prohibited firearms, would I be allowed to take said firearm to the range to "sight it in" for hunting in the fall?

*Title is Le Joké, calm your titties*

Just got the rifle grenade launcher, fits on K98 pattern rifles (just need to removed the front sight hood) as seen here mounted to my 1944 DOU K98k

Very snug fit, would love to try it but I dont have dummy rounds or chalk rounds, it fits 22mm NATO pattern grenades so I might try 3d printing some but those will no doubt get destroyed either by pressure or impact. Should be a fun toy!

All matching numbers in original condition, couldn’t miss it since I never seen a k31 in such perfect condition. Figure I would share this piece!

Howdy Folks!

The Texan is back with yet another gun appreciation post, and today, how about another once available firearm in Canada before it was prohibited.

This time, we got ourselves a classic from the Sicario Films, Metal Gear, and of course The Walking Dead, the one and only!

Mark 23

One of the most comically large handguns that was ever put into military service, and it’s so big that you could literally have it stretch like more than half of your leg if you have the added silencer to it.

Anyways, enough yapping! Enjoy!

I was considering PPU PSP, but it seems to be sold out just about everywhere so S&B is my second choice.

Just purchased a K31 from GNG surplus. For those who have purchased from them, what was the wait time for them to process and ship your rifle? Sent them payment and pal info already.

Thanks

I have finally finished the process of refinishing my No.5 Mk 1 and pictures just don’t do the finish justice. Tried to give a couple angles to showcase the sheen and gorgeous grain. And before they say I hurt the value, I really don’t care. IMO this lil guy is the best Lee Enfield out there, a true joy to shoot and scoot around with in the bush.

I recently picked up a 1945 Long Branch No 4 Mk 1*. the rifle itself was in desperate need of a deep clean, came installed with a civilian butt pad, needed an extractor, a new magazine, and had bent front sight protectors. after some fantastic work by my local gunsmith here she is!

My great uncle came ashore Nan Green sector, Juno Beach on June 6 1944 with the Regina Rifles. The weapon he carried was a long branch just like this.

Here's to many years of enjoying shooting this rifle!
