: : : : : Ken.

: : : : : P.S:Michaelson,I thought you would like to know that ive added quite
: : : : : a few nice pieces to my weapon collection,a nice 1944 mosin nagant
: : : : : carbine,a 1913 mauser schnellfeurer, and a beautiful 1880's sword
: : : : : cane.(walking stick).thought you might be interested!

: : : : :

: : : : I wondered what the heck ever happened to you. Very happy to see you back. I, too, already own a Mosin Nagant 1944 carbine, and had custom rounds loaded for it with a 180 grain soft nosed bullet. VERY nice shooter, though you'll have to admit, very ugly rifle. Glad to see you're back. Regards. Michaelson

: : : I dunno i quite like the carbine.Now the 1930's version,thats a different
: : : story.I heard that standard russian squads shared one nagant between
: : : 10 men.Jeez thats tough going.Especially against highly equiped ss
: : : commandoes.I own one.1939.Its too long.Much too long.But its ww2 history
: : : so i bought it.And although i have never fired one,you know the rules
: : : over here,i would agree that they were good shooters.Many of the better
: : : ones were used as sniper rifles by American sqauds during the war apparantly.
: : : I wouldent take one into battle though!
: : : Give me an Enfield no4 any day!
: : : Cheers,
: : : Kenneth.

: : Speaking of which, a company based here in the US is taking original no.4's and recreating the original jungle carbines of WWII in .303, as well as an Australian verison that came out in .308, and offering them on the market for prices from $189 to about $249. They are all made from original Lee Enfield no. 4 parts, but all have new stocks and are completely reconditioned. They therefore are not consider collectors weapons, but shooters. email me directly and I'll give you the web address so you can see what they look like. Makes one ponder.....to buy or not to buy...Regards. Michaelson
