What is very puzzling to me is the placement of the front sling slot. It is much lower down on the stock than a typical carbine. Even if it were a cut down 91 stock , the position is wrong. I am going to retract my bubba statement from earlier as I dont think he would go to the trouble of trying to...

I am leaning towards Bubba . The front sight looks to be from a Remington US model of 1917 rifle. At the very least it is an interesting conversion.

Excellent Thread and pics.. Many thanks for posting. NETNSHAWN and I are making a trip to the south store this week . It will mean an 8 hour drive , hotel room, and the cost of the rifle. As of now I am like a kid on Christmas Eve... Now that I have seen this I might have to plan a trip for next ye...

Pics would help, but if it matched except the mag and it functioned correctly, then I guess $800 isnt out of line. So long as it truly is Kriegsmarine marked. Here is a link to an auction that ended about a month ago, A fine example , with a fine price tag to boot.. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction...

Well it arrived a few days ago and I am thrilled . I have not had a chance to start cleaning it yet but hope to in the next few days. I will take pics, before and after, and post them up for all to see. This one is so nice , and I have the fever so badly, that I have planned a trip in a few weeks t...

Blue Sky imported ones have a not so good reputation, and it's not unusal to see them priced around $600. This is true, but I would add this . Blue Sky imports are typically 100% USGI parts. They take a hit in value due to their LARGE import mark and the potential to have a worn bore, but can be a ...

My brother in law , and fellow RMNF member NETNSHAWN , made a trip to the south store today and very graciously procured an M1 for me . Here are the teaser pics he sent to me. 42 dated Springfield with a 44 barrel. If I recall correctly , it has a muzzle of 2 and a throat of 3.5 I will most assured...

Took the bottom one in the pics to the show with me yesterday. A few folks showed interest, but more often than not,they didnt know what it is . I did run across one seller that had an original round for it . He told me it wasnt for sale as he would likely not be able to find another. I guess I sho...

I swore I would not get involved in collecting military handguns. Then I bought the Nagant , then a Victory revolver. Suffice it to say I am weak. These are my two latest. Bought them together. The Enfield is certainly a keeper but the jury is out on the other. It really is a bit outside of my coll...
