    Boycott Publix Supermarkets

    Little David Hogg is at it again a mile from my home and has staged a “DIE IN” at the market in Coral Springs Florida. This has caused Publix to withdraw support from Adam Putnam( a pro NRA candidate). I have written corporate to inform them of my intentions to shop elsewhere. I suggest others...

    My Larue 6.5 ultimate upper project

    I have posted a dozen pictures of my vintage German sniper rifles on another thread. Those are just for collecting. This is one of my shooters. A LaRue Ultimate upper/ lower kit I built this past December. It’s all LaRue save the buttstock and sundry bits that make it southpaw friendly...

    ZF41

    HK91 sharpshooter

    Here is the famous HK91 in sharpshooter trim along with many modular accessories. This weapon system is the end result of the Nazi assault weapon program. I have included pictures of my MP43 Sturmgewher to show the lineage. At the end of WW2 several German engineers set off for Spain and...

    FG42 sharpshooter

    This is a recently produced (SMG guns Texas) semi automatic version of the WW2 German paratrooper rifle. This weapon was amazing for a number of reasons. It fired from a closed bolt on semiautomatic and an open bolt on full auto. It is shorter than an AR15 carbine and fires the full powered 7.92...

    Swedish Sniper AGA44

    Here is the M96 Swedish sniper rifle in its final form. The experience of war led the Swedes to produce a scope similar to the Russian model of the period . It was simple to produce and robust. These scopes are also uncommon in the States.

    Swedish Sniper AGA42

    Here is the M96 Swedish sniper fitted with the first of 2 indigenous scopes, the AGA42. This scope was complex to produce but effective. It was later superseded by the AGA44. The 6.5 round has been around for much longer than most young shooters realize. The Creedmoor is just the latest...

    M42b Swedish sniper

    Here is an example of the Swedish M42b sniper using the same German Ajack scope as found on the SS/SSR and improved Swedish short side rail mount. Due to the demands of war, German scope exports were stopped and this left the Swedes in need of scopes. They produced 2 indigenous models that...

    Argentine Sniper

    Here is a nice Argentine sniper in 7.65 Mauser. These rifles were produced by Deutches Waffen und Munitions of Berlin for the Argentine government and used a special Carl Zeiss scope produced at Nedinsco. The scopes are scarce and they are mounted with an early low turret German mount. Very...

    Early Waffen Heer Double Claw

    This is an example of an early double claw German sniper rifle most likely converted in a depot when the invasion of Russia began and the German military was hard pressed to keep up with the demand. The scope dates to the late1930’s as does the rifle( 1937)

    German High turret sniper

    Here is an example of a midwar High turret sniper rifle in 7.92 Mauser. The mounts were screwed and soldered to the rifle and scope. The scope was removed after rotating a locking lever and swinging it almost 90 degrees. It was a very substantial mounting system. The scope is a 4x Ajack.

    Gew 98 Sniper WW1

    This is a scarce Gew98 sniper rifle from WW1, also in 8mm Mauser . Most of these rifles were destroyed after the war or reused and consumed in WW2. They are difficult to find in any condition . I have only seen a dozen or so for sale in the last 40 years. Note the metal finishing of the screw...

    Late war German LSR

    Another of many.... I am new to this forum and have collected German Mausers for nearly 40 years. This is a BCD 4 code rifle . Produced at Buchenwald, the “long side rail” was purpose built as a sniper. The receivers are like no other K98 made during the war. The receiver is oversized with a...

    SS/SSR

    This is a very rare matching Waffen SS short side rail sniper converted in 1937. All early SS rifles were converted WW1 Gew 98’s made to K98k specifications. Original maker roll marks were “scrubbed” from the receiver. It is one of only a handful of matching rigs known. Equipt with Ajack 4 x...
