Everything I own gets used. But I try to avoid abuse. Some rifles came to me in sad shape. Others were new or I rebuilt them and they mostly remsain pretty. I can post a couple favorites.
Took delivery on this recently. Only had a chance to shoot it once. There will be more. This was made in 1949. I bought it 6-7 years ago in unused since leaving the factory condition. I have shot it a few times. Built this about 20 years ago and have shot it a number of times. Still looks pretty good. Thread started with some SKSs so I'll add mine. Had it about 30 years. |

My Late date Finn M39 (sneak) dated 1968 wasn't supposed to be a safe queen but that's what it has become as of now I haven't shot it yet. Heck my Sako M39 hasn't been shot either. Below is a pic of that pretty "sneak" the day I got it. I really need to go let her stretch her legs. I have a Type 53, and a No 5. MK1 that has become safe queens too. I really need to do better.

I got a French MAS36 that has never been fired since built or Arsenal refinished . I paid $60 to BIG5 in ~ 2002. It does have one scratch where a retreating soldier threw it down. My friend painted his, with help from his wife.

I'll play. This is my 8mm Spandau Gew98. It's really only a safe Queen because of price and availability of ammo. I don't own a firearm that I cannot or do not shoot.

Not a safe queen, as I've gotten an elk, mule deer and 450 lb feral hog with it, but she is pretty.

Thanks Rich! Not quite as shiny and sparkly as those beautiful SKS's. My 1918 Mauser was sporterized at some point, the stock has a lot of blemishes, bit it is, I believe, the original. I can make out where wood filler was used in the cleaning rod holes and what not. Alotta of character on this grizzled old gun.

The Garand is more of a Princess. Still royalty, but a little younger, a little sexier. Gets the groping a little more. Wouldn't be there without the Queen.
Not a fat wallet, but literally luck of the draw gifted me with the Garand. |
