The Entire Collection
Figured I'd start a new threat rather than clutter up the old one. A few people asked earlier about a picture of my rifle collection - that is way too difficult, so here's 15 pictures of everything I have on hand right now.

I like how you categorized them by where there from. Very nice collection, impressive indeed.
You should try for more US WWII weaponry, like a Springfield M1903 of some type, or maybe a Johnson rifle. But that's just me. Hope you never have an unexpected liquidation sale though. Lots of guys I know end up selling their big collections of vintage guns to pay of debt or something. So knock on hard wood.

Shame on you for putting the 1911 at the bottom of the picture!

The wood on most of those rifles look to be in pretty bad condition. Probably from old age.

They're service rifles. Even with chips and wearing, with gloss like that those stocks are in great shape.

It's just that the wood is so dark.
