First part of my WWII collection

[olchevy]

A Remington 1903A3 original barrel, reciever and stock, made in February of 1943.


I typed out a big long story line as I was excited, then my computer froze. So I'll keep it short and sweet.

I was going to get a Garand today, my gut told me to get this first since these are becoming harder to find and more expensive so I did. Got it today, checked it out, shot it, loved it. This will be my new "daytime" hunting rifle.

Not sure if bolt and other parts are original. I will have to do my research on them.

Planning on getting next (rifle wise)
M1 Garand
Mosin Nagant
M1 Carbine
German K98
Lee Enfield
Am I missing any not super expensive ones?

Nice score. Still need to add one to my collection.

 

[Horsehat]

Nice

 

[Flammenwerfer]

You could also add Italian Carcano rifles and Japanese Arisaka rifles to your non-expensive list.

 

[TheGman]

Looks great I need to add one of these as well.

Nice score these are great shooters and real accurate.
Love the two I have.
and as stated above also add these to your short list Italian Carcano rifle and Japanese Arisaka both of these are fine rifles and also a French MAS.

Guess who is out on the hunt already? Time to let ol Ace get out and live again.

 

[Hayata]

Nice score!

Although not used in WWII the Swiss K31 is a nice rifle.

 

[Paynefree]

I want one of these so bad. every time I see one for sale I am broke.. Like Will was saying the Carcano is cool and so is an Arisaka. Also on my list of rifles to snag at some point is the French MAS.

Thats a nice looking rifle, one of my favorite shooters. Finding a good one that hasnt been modified is getting tougher as time goes by. Good choice!
