q-tip Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 VietNam era M21 sniper rifle with Leatherwood ranging scope. You sure be sure that you're on the right end of this machine. M6 bayonet in foreground. The bolt-7.62 and the 50 cal. rifles have taken over the heavy personal work, but I believe these haven't been completely removed from service. They have continued service and even had a few redesigns. Even the m14 is still in service. Tanker I love me an m1a but I like my G3 just a little bit better......cause its German and so am I! 1 Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah I think it was in Seattle, $3k with like 6 mags, but those are cheap. Not a bad price currently. http://www.armslist.com/posts/3551415/washington-rifles-for-sale-trade--heckler---koch-91-preban Quote Link to comment
a.d._510_n_ok Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 a few shots of my Mauser 1918 Erfurt Kar98az. It's not import stamped and is all matching except for the lower band, stacking hook and a Third Reich era replacement stock. It is a small ring Mauser 98 but still chambered in 8mm Mauser. fitted with a dust cover that may or may not be a repro. these covers were designed to keep the muck and mud that was so common in trench warfare from entering the weapon. they cycle with the bolt and are removable. this is a Nazi era property mark on the butt stock indicating use by the German national railways. a group shot of all my WW1 rifles. the first five are variants of Gew88s. they are German weapons but not a Mauser design. in fact, the primary designer of the weapon, Ludwig Loewe and Paul Mauser were bitter rivals. So bitter in fact that Loewe had Kaiser Wilhelm II ban Mauser from the testing of the rifle. In retaliation, Mauser spread rumours that Loewe (a German Jew) had intentionally designed the weapon to blow up in the faces of German soldier which caused the weapon to be nicknamed juden gewehr or "Jew gun". I have put many rounds through my 88s without issue. the sixth weapon is a Mauser 1918 Oberndorf Gew 98 with an import stamp and an Ottoman property mark on the receiver. It set me back $90 in 2001. They are not so cheap anymore. this pic just illustrates the diversity of the Imperial German weapons. the top weapon is the front of the Kar98az showing it's stacking hook. when you were not in combat, you and a few buddies could stand the weapons on their butts, connect the hooks and the weapons would stand alone in sort of a tee-pee frame fashion. the middle weapon is Gew88/S which means it can use the modern Spitzergeschloss (pointed bullet) as well as the round nose bullet it was originally designed for. the metal clip surrounding the cartridges indicate this weapon still utilizes Mannlicher "packet loading". Clip & rounds are both pushed into the receiver. when the last round is cycled out of the weapon the clip drops out of the bottom. If you do not have clips to go with the ammo on an 88/S then you have a single shot weapon and that sucks in combat. in 1905 and 1914, many of these were converted to conventional Mauser style loading thus eliminating the need for the clips. the ejection ports on 88/05s and 88/14s were then covered by the arsenals with removable spring steel plates. 88/S and 88/05 models are very common to this day but 88/14 models are quite rare. the bottom weapon is my 1918 Gew98 with the Lange Vizier sight. all of these are in 8mm Mauser. 1 Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Whitney Wolverine 22cal. Nickle plated and black finish models. Built for less than five years beginning in 1956. The brainchild of innovative engineer, Robert Hilberg from ideas developed while applying weight saving armarments to aircraft during WWII. Years ahead of the competition employing an investment cast aluminum body shell. Try to imagine just how mind boggling this was in 1956 !! Hilberg's fertile mind produced other innovative arms concepts that were years if not decades ahead of their time. Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 How do you guys feel about the Beretta M92 and its variants? I am considering purchasing one. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Not a bad pistol at all, proven platform in service for a lot of years made by a few different manufacturers. I however prefer a good ol 1911. 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 How do you guys feel about the Beretta M92 and its variants? I am considering purchasing one. I've owned 4 of the Taurus versions (PT92, PT99 and PT101). Loved every one. Just a little on the beefy side for most... Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Being all steel they are not on the light side that is for sure. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Being all steel they are not on the light side that is for sure. They are not all steel... which is to say that not all of them are all steel. Can't say for sure that they all are, but mine is an aluminium frame with a stainless slide, I call it my Pimp Gun. I had to buy it because the serial number is my initials, my younger-older brother's birthday, my older-older brother's birthday... and a "seven" which I haven't been able to make significant. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lucky number seven? And you at correct not all variants are all steel but the original Berettas were steel frame and slide. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 and a "seven" which I haven't been able to make significant. Really? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Really? "Seven" is shichi in Japanese, which is usually avoided since it is reminiscent of "shi" which means "death". Same reason for avoiding "4" which is the homophone for SHI "death." The workaround is to use the "Chinese" or kid's numbers as in "Yotsu or Yon" for 4 and "Nana" for 7. Thus April is "Yongatsu" and July is "Nanagatsu." Not Shigatsu or Shichigatsu. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Really? Oh yeah... I've got one of those too, don't I? Quote Link to comment

I got tired of a) explaining it to gaijin and 2) paying the ridiculous amount of money Texas charges for personalized plates now. I know I'm technically... ok, totally gaijin myself, so flame away!
