A mid war CZ27.

[Sarge]

Another classic: SMITH & WESSON MODEL 1917.
This one is an example of the 1937 Brazilian Contract. Some of these S&W fought in Italy Campaign with the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (Força Expedicionária BRasileira - F.E.B.) and remained in service until the 1970s.

Be VERY Carefull shooting that ammo!!! It is NOT loaded reliably! I blew up a Thompson barrel shooting that. 1 bullet didn't come out of the bbl and I put 4 more right behind it. Had to buy a new bbl. I have about 900 rds of that ammo and I will not shoot it! It may be OK in a 45 pistol with the shorter bbl, but I'll never shoot anymore in my M1A1 Thompson.

Here is my 1917 DWM Artillery and accessories.

Not a combatant rifle, but a WW2 era rifle:

Swede M41 built in 1942 off of a 1915 Carl Gustaf

Good looking rifle! All my Swedes have been tack drivers. Appears you have ideal country for long shots.Here on the South side of Lake Michigan,a 225 yard crack at a woodchuck is about as long of a shot as one gets.Know this is overkill,but this is what my son uses for reaching out and touching some of those chucks and coyotes.

Thanks! I have four swedes now, the M41, two 1900 Oberndorf made M/96s (one a carbine conversion) and a Ljungman. I love the craftsmanship involved in the rifles in those days, and 6.5x55SE is my favourite round to shoot.

Nice looking 1903 sniper your son has, they're also great rifles. I have shot my friend's in Oregon, his had the peep sight, and I liked it a lot.

[Grünherz]

Another Luger (I like them very much!)

It's a LP-08 (a.k.a. Artillery Model), made by DWM in 1917 and issued to the German Imperial Army.
Still looking for a holster and stock...

Thats quite nice! I always wanted an 08. Maybe some day.

My local pawn shop has 6 Kar 98's a mixed bag atleast 3 seem to be original stamped 41 43 and 44 haven't looked too close and they are about $500.00 a piece, I told my son who is in Iraq and he can't wait to come home (next month for 2 weeks) he will probably buy the 3 to go along with my Russian M.N plus my sweet wife just bought me a 1911 it's nice to step out on the back porch and unleash hell.

Firstly, thank you to Waleed for his time and trouble in re-sizing my original photo so it could be seen on the forum.

I thought some of the forum members might like to see a picture of some of my MG's. It was taken in 2005 and so the collection has grown a bit since then. I do still love this photo, and I hope those who have not seen it before like it as well.
Damien.

Damien,
How well have you managed on the number matching and do you have any early versions(deacts) where you can take the barrel out i.e. the MG34's?

Does anyone have any links to info on the types of stocks used on MG34's and at what period i.e. wood, plastic and plastic with metal tips, MG42's as well.

Is it also true that some MG42's had a stamped metal stocks?

Cheers,
Tom.
