WWII Rifles

[Luke]

When my great grandfather died 4 years ago, He left me his M1 Garand, and I have to say, Its a awesome rifle. It packs some kick, but I think it hurts the target more then you.

Well, it is a .30-06 round that it fires and has no recoil buffer mechanism built in. So, yea, it does pack some kick.:biggrin:

You think? All guns do, except Japan's weapons in WWII.

*** Update ***

Just got the bayonet for it in the mail today. Here are a couple of pictures of it.

Here's the bayonet itself. (Quarter shown for size comparison)



Bayonet shown attached to the rifle. This stands nearly 4'10" tall!

Is the bayonet real or just a copy?

Those is awesome. I would love to have some nice old WWII guns but I think ill stay with my Savage's and Mossberg's. Do you take them out shooting or are they for show only?

I'll take some pics later of my dad's guns. Whew, those are guns that pack a kick!

Wow man....really awesome guns

You lucky, I'd also like to have some

It is a real bayonet that was manufactured the same year, 1937, as the Mauser.

The bayonet that I have for my M1 Carbine .30 Cal is a reproduction, though.

I have not taken the Mauser out yet but I am going shooting this Saturday and will fire it for the first time then.

As for the M1 Carbine .30 Cal, I have taken it out a couple of times and am practicing with it to compete in the "Service Rifle" category for the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Some nice rifles you've got there. Any pistols to go with them?

I currently have one. My Ruger P89DC 9mm that I've had since 1994.

Pics of me with my K98 in action and a close up shot of the Waffen cartouche on the stock.

I would post pics of my families guns, but we have a big gun vault full and a pretty big gun cabinet full too. It would be to many pics.

British Enfield .303

This is a 1943 British Enfield .303 bolt-action rifle. I just picked this one up yesterday.

And for those of us that remember playing Day of Defeat v3.1 (pre-Steam), this is the rifle that is used by the British rifleman on the original dod_flash map.
