Nightcrawler

Okay guys, humor me. I'm leaving for Qatar in two days. :D

Let's see pictures of your WWII-era arms, or close replicas. Genuine or reproduction WWII-style M1911A1s, Mausers, Springfields, Garands, Carbines, Lugers, Walther P-38s, you name it!

I'd really like to see: Genuine or reproduction Ppsh-41s, Thompsons, BARs, Brens, Stens, etc.

And how about some M1917 and Webley revolvers?

Thanks guys. :cool:

Swingset....DUDE! Details! Is that a genuine Bren or a parts gun? Is it a semiauto lookalike? (A guy on the FAL Files built a semiauto L4 7.62mm Bren.)

Did I mention I admire Browning's work?

Remember, at times it's entirely appropriate to use a sledge hammer to swat a fly.

Garands were issued, certainly.

Why just have a Bren Gun when you can have a Universal Carrier and Boyes AT Rifle to go with it...

If you're going to have a Universal Carrier, you should also have a 6 pounder to tow behind it...

Top is a VZ.24, middle is a 1935 Turk M38(oddly enough not my namesake),and the bottom is a French Mas36 which i know saw, or at least parts of saw combat in WW2.

Finnish Winter War rifles.
From the top:
M27
M28 Tikka
M28 SIG
M28/30

These rifles would have been in some pretty heated battles. Finns were often outnumbered by the Soviets by huge margins. These rifles and good shooting evened things up!
