My C&R Collection (so far....)
http://imageshack.us/a/img163/4508/mycollection1.jpg (It's getting there but still prob pales in comparison to some - I've only been doing this for a few years) From left to right: 1942 MN (Izhevsk) 1942 Laminate MN (Izhevsk) 1941 Finnish M39 1943 Enfield No 4 Mk 1 Yugo 24/47 1953 Polish M44 1934 Steyr M95 (Austrian) (And yes I know I need still need slings for some of them) FYI - The ones that are in bold where purchased this year? So what C& R guns did buy/trade/get in 2012? (If you can"t see the pic - let me know) Last edited by DennisCA; December 12, 2012 at 09:50 PM. |

nice collection Dennis. a little heavy on mosin nagants for my liking but different strokes for different folks I guess. ok all of my C&Rs that I have bought have been bought since January 1st this year. in order first to last to the best of my memory.
Savage Enfield NO4 MK1* Springfield 1903 1942 Izhevsk 91/30 1944 Izhevsk 91/30(bought for sporterizing purposes) BSA Enfield NO4 MK1(parts gun bought for sporterizing) Remington 1903A4(didn't even know it was an A4 when I bought it, thought it was a bubba'd A3 and so did the seller) French MAS36(either 1944 or 45, haven't been able to get a definitive answer on the serial dating process) Arisaka type 44(traded for the 1903A4, arriving tomorrow) Arisaka type 99(traded for the 1903A4, arriving tomorrow)

Ah, yes. A rather admirable collection, indeed.
However, it does seem like there is something glaringly missing here? What is it? Ah ... revolvers. But you have to suit yourself. I sold my last long gun this year, so I have only revolvers and pistols. But who knows what the future holds. dc |

There's one pistol I would like to get;
nagant revolver I've always wanted one - so will see but being that, I'm a long-gun man. |

I'm also a long gun man but I must say that I kindof want a norwegian 1914...and that's because it's the only 1911 variant I'm aware of that uses the metric version or 45ACP.

Should have bought a Finn. They are the best of the Mosin Nagants.

4V50 Gary "Should have bought a Finn. They are the best of the Mosin Nagants" - never too late, just have to keep looking!
Yes they are - It will out-shoot anything I have in my C&R collection. (the yugo comes close though) I just don't see how those finn's carried those bad boys around; they are extremely heavy! |

Don't forget the sharp, pointy, poking things(what my daughter call bayonets) for them. Makes them look complete.

Sharp pointy things....
sgms - yup on da list, along with a few more slings...
Also reloading equipment, the 303 ammo is getting hard come by and more expensive and the steyr ammo (8X56r) is.....don't get me started on that one! |

the only sharp pointy pokey things I have for my C&Rs are the one that came with the 42 91/30 and the MAS36... I didn't even know it had one until my little brother started playing with it and revealed it's hiding place.

What did you get buy or trade for in 2012?
Nice rifles. I have a few rifles but my passion is handguns.
(In the year 2012 my true love gave to me...) 3 P38s, 2 Lugers and a Star model B (WaA D20) in a pear tree!

Very very nice Winchester 73, those pistols are great. I'll add a Nambue just for a bit of balance.
