Those are just part of my collection. I don't get to the range as much as I would like. I have about 30 guns that I have not fired yet.

Here's my WWII collection:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Top to bottom:

Springfield Armory M1, made in June 1943

Savage No4, MK I. Has all Savage marks and no British proofs, so I'm guessing the war ended before it could ship.

MAS Mle 1936, part of the first batch made after France was liberated.

Mauser K98k, Oberndorf, 1941

Mosin Nagant 91/30, Tula, 1933

Another point adding to the mystery, all six known Columbia-marked guns have their company name HAND ENGRAVED on them, rather than roll-stamped like the others. Almost as if the ownership somehow KNEW they would not be producing enough guns to make an expensive stamp worthwhile.
Erm, I think there's a pretty obvious scenario to explain these mysteries. I know absolutely nothing about the guns, and perhaps other than a manufacturer mark, there are other ways of determining who made them. That would make this theory completely wrong.

That said... They're hand engraved and inappropriate serial numbers because... they're faked, and there are no "survivors" of whatever disaster befell the other 8994 firearms.

That's just 1+1 = 2, so I'm sure there's got to be another reason why that theory isn't considered? I'd be interested to know more details. Cool looking things, though!

Just bought a Norinco SKS that appears to have never had a round in it. Only drawback is a pinned barrel vs screw-in. Came with East German Sling. No cleaning kit. Other than that brand new.
