Here's a pic of the Russian wall. At the bottom, due to wallspace constraints, my Swedes reside. But, they aren't in this pic, so, no problem! What you see here is several flavors of russian smoke-pole. At top, a Berdan II (designed by american Hiram Berdan, of Berdan's Sharpshooters in the Civil War), a single-shot bolt action, made by Stevens in Maastricht. I recently scored a bayonet for this fella, but haven't taken a picture yet. Next under are some Mosin-Nagants. Two M91s, top dated 1893, second one dated 1920. The first is purely Imperial marked. The second is Soviet-marked,... The Armorer http://www.thedonovan.com Here's a pic of the Russian wall. At the bottom, due to wallspace constraints, my Swedes reside.

At top, a Berdan II (designed by american Hiram Berdan, of Berdan's Sharpshooters in the Civil War), a single-shot bolt action, made by Stevens in Maastricht. I recently scored a bayonet for this fella, but haven't taken a picture yet. Next under are some Mosin-Nagants. Two M91s, top dated 1893, second one dated 1920. The first is purely Imperial marked. The second is Soviet-marked, but still has a hex receiver (vice round) and the arshin sight. Both have older, ring-lock bayonets. Next is a M91-30, pure Soviet. Fourth is a M91-30 Sniper. Next under is the soviet "M1 Garand", an SVT-40, semi-auto in a full-auto stock, with a semi-auto muzzle break. Next under him is an SVT-40 carbine, with SVT-40 bayonet. This gun is SA marked, and may be either a gun repaired to carbine length, or a gun made after the war for the collectors market. Hard to say - but it isn't import-marked. It is probably not a built-from-the-ground-up carbine. Beneath that carbine is a Chinese copy of the M44 carbine, this one being a papered vet bring-back from Korea.

Have fun, gotta run!

Mauser guy's, I have some ORGINIAL 1917 Amberg Mauser 98 rifle parts that I want to sell to anyone who needs them. The list is as follows: 1. The stock. Damaged, but still in one piece. 2. The wooden fore grip with the bayonet lug. 3. The small wooden piece that goes over the barrel where it connects with the breach. 4. The sling with one oval ring for the front and the push pin for the rear. 5. The "straight" bolt. 6. The barrel. It too is damaged (slightly bent) but may be fixed. Need a professional for that, but I guess you guy's know of someone. All the serial numbers are the same. Those numbers are #8790. I have no idea of what these items cost, but since I had the gun "Sporterized" (please don't hate me) I really don't have a use for them. I would like to see them get a good home. I found the old parts in my cellar recently and have talked with some other Mauser people who don't know of a fair price either. Can you help me out? Get back to me when you can. They'll be here and so will I. Later... J.J.Bilenki Jr. (USN. RET.) picnicpappy@comcast.net 2004-02-10T17:05:35Z 2004-02-10T17:05:35Z
