Anything you want pistol rifle shotgun "other",relic or new,western,war,military,Hollywood,Olympics,Competition, Presidents,Rebels whatever.I have been looking at WW2 lately and came up with the idea.Really want to see what you guys can come up with.:cool:

Here is one website with a few WW2 photos to help some of you but there are plenty of sites where you should be able to find something.

To start here is my M38 Mosin Nagant along with a photo of one slung over a Russian soldier waving a red flag at a building off the central square in Stalingrad, Russia, Jan-Feb 1943

OK, I think I can do this.

My 1938 Registered Magnum shipped to and used by the Utah Highway Patrol.

Old newspaper photo of UHP troopers presenting arms for inspection. My gun may actually be one of those in the photo.

Everyone always forgets about Junction City. Gotta give the herd some love. Cool pics, I hope to put some up later today.
 
Its kinda surreal, you never know what deep and possibly dark history your old milsurps may have been a part of-- Here is my Yugoslavian M72 RPK, complete with serbian carvings (not too visable in theis pic)

Bosnian solider Senad Medanovic cries as he stands before his old family house. In this village he claims to have seen his friends and family massacred by Serbian forces and thrown in a mass grave

I have a photo of my Grandmother shooting her (now my) Winchester 1906 .22 taken before WWII.

I've been meaning to find that photo again and take a pic of the gun in it's current condition. Still shoots, just looks a bit used.

I'll post it after I find the pic.
 
Martini Enfield brought back from Afghanistan, perhaps used in the battles for the Khyber Pass.

I like girls of this caliber. By "caliber," of course, I refer to both the size of their gun barrels and the high quality of their characters... Two meanings... caliber... it's a homonym... Forget it.
