Cracking rifle there Joe
WR Pape no less. I have a couple of split cane trout rods and reels made/marketed by them-one of which was owned and used by my late grandfather when he was head gamekeeper just up the road from you at Wallington hall.

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

Swedish 8X58R M67/89, we had two at the range yesterday. Both originally built 1871 and both converted to "smallbore" in 1892. Niiiiice. tongueout

Top one is mine and the bottom one belongs to forum member woodshot.

And it has a local connection to me as the original purveyor was W.R. Pape.

Is that Walburn 6c?

It's a good range!

No, it was Peatfell as I recollect.

Thought I should offer up what I have to offer

In chronological order:

Mosin Nagant M1891/30
Dated 1921
Built in Izhevsk



Mauser K98
Dated 1937



Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 1/2
Dated 1954
Built in Fazakerley



Saiga (AK)
Built in Izmash



I think there is a photo of my K31 floating about from a while back

Nice toys
Is your K98 an Israeli job or a Czech refurbed ?

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 certain

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

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 ?
