Gents, I've had this Long Lee a good few years now and when I bought it it came complete with a .297/230 Morris aiming tube conversion. That was definitely a added bonus. tongueout
Re: Show Us Your Surps!
Swedish 8X58R M67/89, we had two at the range yesterday. Both originally built 1871 and both converted to "smallbore" in 1892. Niiiiice. tongueout

And it has a local connection to me as the original purveyor was W.R. Pape.
It's a good range!

Re: Show Us Your Surps!
I've not really looked into the history behind it. It's all electropencilled but still has its original nazi eagle markings. From the little I've read I would be lead to believe it's Czech but I don't know anything for certainfroggy wrote:Nice toys
Is your K98 an Israeli job or a Czech refurbed ?

Very nice collection , the Saiga just needs threading for a slant muzzle brake a la AKM.
The Mauser looks too clean for an Israeli job, if it was there would usually be a Star of David stamped on the receiver

Re: Show Us Your Surps!
True. I take it is still in 7.92 ?
It does look very clean with beautifull wood
Who made it ?
Beside that trigger guard are the other numbers matching ?
