RangerClay Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... I have a garand that was made in '44. I shoot a clip through it every year on Memorial Day. Boy I love the "ting" the en bloc makes when it pops out. Ranger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MizzouHunter6 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... Yeah , that does seem like a good deal. They seem very very rare around here anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lilcrackshot Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... None now but I hope to own some Mauser's someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MizzouHunter6 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... An old Springfield '03 Sniper Rifle would be a nice one to own too. I have never seen one for sale around here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyderpancake Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... I have an Uncle who is a huge military rifle buff. He has one of the new Springfields with the Match barrel. Now he wants one of the National Match editions, but that runs close to $2k. I have shot his, it is very well-made and accurate. I have a 1939 Mosin Nagant 91/30 that is in extremely good shape. I have shot 5-shot groups under 1 1/2" with it at 100 yards with open sights. My two brothers have Mosin's too.I also have a 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser that i deer hunt with that is incredibly accurate. And i just got an 03-A3 Spingfield that was rechambered from 30-06 to .308 Norma Magnum. And we have 3 British Enfield .303s. I love old war guns. They have a lot of history, and with a little bit of work, most of them will flat-out shoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MizzouHunter6 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... Yep...those old mosin nagants are cool old rifles too! There is this little old town near Branson , MO where an old guy has just loads and loads of old British and Russian WWII stuff. I bet you I spent a couple hours just in there browsing through his old stuff. I love the history in them , especially when you hold one in your hands.

Guest WVHunter129 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Re: Old WWII rifles/guns... Well I have a original 303 British rifle and my son has a 98K 8mm (8x57) Mauser. These are some really nice guns to hunt with, but are heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
