Couldn't keep count and don't know them all. But, that picture is cool as hell!:cool:
 
Awesome! What's the one right above the galil? And the very top one in the wood stock?
 
Terrific Marty, really liked your last one and this is just as jam packed - well done
Will probably have to be lenient with the precise service designations/nomenclature on some of these, but here goes:

* FN model 30-11 w/ 4x28
* Accuracy international AX 338.
* Knights armament SR-25 Mk11
* Remington XM2010
* Accuracy international PM (L96a1 in British service) however haven't seen the skeletonised folding butt stock in models that early - w/ Schmidt Bender PM 6x42 "Greenie"
* Springfield 1903 w/ Winchester A5 (is it interwar period usmc?)
* L42a1 w/ L1a1 3.5x
* TRG 42 (guessing by the action length?)
* Remington Mk13 .300win mag AICS
* M3 infra-red
* Parker Hale M85 (factory "Jungle" pattern stock) w/ the S&B greenie bdc scope as per the L96
* Badger M2013 on a whiskey chassis
* is it a model of these DTA bullpup rifles? really not sure on this.
* Tokarev SVT-40
* Heckler & Koch PSG-1
* ZFK-55 (think it was the 55 that had the tip-off mount?)
* IMI Galil
* K98k w/ ZF-fortysomething? telescope
* M1-C (no clue what that scope is)
* M21 w/ AR Tel II sight
* M14 (or whatever their designation was in IDF service?)
* Winchester Model 70 (pre-64) Target, w/ Unertl combination target scope (could just be an optical illusion due to taper of the barrel but the bore line and line of sight seem divergent?)

I'll probably have a lot more success on the older rifles though, difficult to keep up with all these new developments

Again thanks for your efforts - great picture, you've obviously some got nice toys to play with.

Btw: I'm actually looking for a S&B greenie scope and an RSAF enfield 7.62 No4 mag for a build of my own, if you happen to hear of any that are spare.

M1C = M1952 with Kollmorgen 4xD scope.

I swear if you stare at it long enough, a 3D picture pops out!
 
Traded my Galil for a like new K1500 Chevy PU with 8K on it. Still not sure it was such a deal.

Is that a PRC 10 in the lower corner?

Damn, that's a great picture. I can stare at it for days.
 
Marty,
I love the picture! Have you posted any other like it? If so I would love a thread with then all together. I have the calendar you put together back in 2008 and really love it. I keep it hung up and rotating pictures. You really should come out with a new calendar mine is getting kinda ratty from being used the last 6 years!
 
Dumb question, but why would you pile the stuff up like that, one thing on top of another, other than to create a monument to conspicuous consumption?
 
Jbell, here you go

These are pics we used on 2 of our catalog covers, when we first started we just laid them out in orthogonal fashion Perfectly lined up, it was uninspired and we could not get 20 rifles on the page.
Then I got the Pile-O-Guns idea, we spent about an hour setting it up, and it looked pretty cool. And as far as a monument to conspicuous consumption, its America baby, yeah! ;)

Here is the list of rifles in the first Pic


FN 30-11
Accuracy International PSR (Precision Sniper Rifle)
Knights Armament Mk 11 Mod O
Remington XM2010

P-H M85
DSR-1

Marty, thank you so much for the pictures. They are so cool!! Have you shot all of these rifles? Which one is your favorite and why? I don't think I could choose, but I have always wanted a M85 for some reason...
 
The PSR, M110 and the Galatz are new unfired, I have other 338 AI's and have shot them, the Galatz is just another 308 Galil and no big deal, kicks like a mule.

I have shot plenty of Army 110's, I like my LMT 308 better.

I have a soft spot for the M1/M14 pattern rifles as I shot them for years in Service rifle before switching to the mouse gun.

The M85 I think, holds interest for a lot of us because it was the first "kind of modern looking" Sniper rifle most of us on this side of the world saw back in the 80's.
I have to say I am unimpressed by it, its just another loose Mauser, nice trigger though, accuracy is about 1 MOA so average.

One of the things I have had to come to terms with is that you hear "Wow, that gun shoots great", or "It's a sweet shooter!" When I take these out and shoot them, there is always
a loud noise followed by sharp pain in my shoulder and the smell of something burning. They are NEVER any different!..... Ok I have over simplified it BUT, I have never said
WOW that was the most impressive thing I have ever shot! and I have fired over 100+ different Snipers and probably another 100 different sporting rifles.

Where you do see big differences is in automated weapons, recoil impulse signatures, muzzle rise, action speed, there are really differences there.
 
Thank you for the reply. I guess I was just expecting more out of the PH, but then again I have never had any solid stats to base that on. However that is a very impressive collection of fine rifles that some of them are getting hard to find.

You traded that rifle for a Chevrolet? You got taken.
