I added another Navy gun to my collection and this one was local. Not cheap but worth buying since KM rifles do not come along very often. This one is North sea region marked as are most of the Mauser Berlin rifles that were issued to the Kriegsmarine. Whats interesting is that all of the...

Figured I would show this image that I got from Jon a few years back. Picture header: Example of material and working time savings through the transition from machining to formed parts in the manufacture of the German infantry rifle. Translated text from back of image: 2247d/VDI-Lelirschau...

In a collection I looked at yesterday. GI painted adler is interesting.

Interesting East German build of a thick side wall bcd45. Image was sent to me from Jon and was in the Lockhoven archive.

I wanted to get this up for discussion as I am assuming will be controversial. Not making any calls on this one for now. This is the same rifle thats in the Senich book. Also these are cell phone pics so excuse the quality. And of course the stock has been cleaned and bleached - typical old...
