Yeah...Browning was a genius, no question about it.
Speaking of classic weapons systems, my Uncle was a custom rifle based on a Mauser. I think he’s only fired it ~50 times. What a piece. It was made by a friend of his who was a former MLB player. It’s worth beacoup bucks.
I’ll take a pic and email it to you.
Nice!!!
Love Mausers. Got a WWII vint Kar98k that I’m restoring.
Nice!
I’d like to get an Enfield, but both the price of the rifle and the ammo are silly.
Got a few of them.
A couple No. 4 MkI’s and a No. 5 Carbine.
Awesome bolt guns.
It is a violent flick. But the violence fits the story, it’s not “over the top”, at least to me it’s not. It was a violent story set in a violent time.
Enfield: I’ve been looking off and on - the quality is blah and the prices are high. I kick myself for not buying a couple of the .308 models ~20 years ago when they were released for cheap. Those prices are really silly now. Plus .303 ammo is high $; the cheap days of the surplus stuff are gone.
