Filling my ridiculous gun quota...

[Nyles]

Lots of places, usually private sales with other collectors but also from a few specialist dealers. The Nagant and T-26 I got off gunbroker.com and the Jo.Lo.Ar. from Down East Trading, which operates in the US as JoeSalter.com.

Well, my Jo.Lo.Ar. arrived today and I am SHOCKED at home natural a pointer it is and how well it fits the hand. The bore is pretty pitted, but there's lots of rifling, so I may get some light 9mm Largo loads cooked up and actually try shooting the thing. The shop I bought it from even found an extra grip screw to replace the missing one at no cost - as always I'm very satisfied with Joe Salter, anyone looking for collectible guns should check them out. More pics to come.

Sweet. Tell us how it shoots when you get around to firing it

Barrel tipped up for loading, palanca down for cocking.


Slide fully to the rear via the palanca. Because it was designed for one-handed cocking there's no provision for a slide hold-open, even in the mag.

Well, after the most drawn-out and problematic gun purchase I've ever done, I've finally received the US Krag M1898 that I bought while in Afghanistan. It's in very nice shape, and has the M1901 rear sight upgrade (as most do). I'm pretty excited to actually take it to the range if the weather ever improves.
