As a German I am very happy that our guns are still being appreciated somewhere

@ChronicallyChronic That a Type 38 Arisaka?

From top to bottom: Mosin 7.62x54R 1935 Izzy arsenal, Type 38 Arisaka 6.5 Jap 1934 Tokyo arsenal, M1895 Chilean Mauser 7mm Mauser and M95 Mannlicher carbine 8x56R

Nice looking collection 👍

I have a kar98 but I wish I had a stg44 that's for sure

Thanks. The M95 is FEG buitl in Budapest

If you can find a "real" STG 44, be prepared to spend upwards of $30000

Yeah

You should add an Enfield to your collection.

One of my buddies is a licensed manufacturer. Has a real StG 44. It's neat.

Never did really care for Enfields. Would like to add a Gras, a rolling block Springfield and a Chasspot

Crazy thing speaking of german engineering my department wants to sell all of our mp5's for sig mcx's which is absolutely stupid in my opinion

Rolling block? Is that like a trapdoor?

I don't know. People are calling the MPX "MP5 killer."

Well I'm trying my hardest to keep mine

The rolling block is the Model 1871 Springfield, you cock the hammer then roll the breech block to the real to pop in the round. The trapdoor pops up and forward.

So the trapdoor is newer. Right?

Yeah, that's the 1873 model

Looks expensive. My dad had a .45-70 Springfield...but don't recall the model. That was 50 years ago.

I only have one Springfield...a 1903.

YOu can find 1873's $700 - $800....the rolling blocks are crazy expensive, only 10000 were made and the french ended up with then to fight off the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War.

So probably not many rolling blocks left in the states? Is that right?

Remington made a hell of a lot more of them

Remington made something like 80000 - 90000. The springfield made ones are the really rare ones. If you want to shoot them you need to find 50-70 Government in black powder.

not an everyday round anymore

Expensive shooting no doubt. Messy clean up afterwards also. Havnt had a black powder firearm for about 40 yes now. Sold my Colt Navy.

Oooo. Sold your Colt Navy. That hurts!

Yeah...regretted it ever since. 1851 .

Dude, that criminal!

Hello all! Just showed up in the discord. Saw this thread/channel so here they are! This is my “fud gun” collection. I tend not to post pics of my modern ones for obvious reasons. I’d be happy to answer any question on these.

Idk if you guys would prefer this as some FB groups do but Not For Sale

They weren't worth that much back then.

@Wazup Oh I like

Your rifles are gorgous

I am definitely drooling here! I need a klennex!!

Thank you @ChronicallyChronic

Ah, there's a Lee-Enfield. And a P17.

Colt AR-15A2 made in 1983 with original sling

I dont have a 98...missed my chance back in 1970 when they were $19.95

I only have a few milsurps. This one's my favorite. Finnish M39, 1970.
