I was there this year, last year, and the year before, it's a great event just wish it hadn't rained this year. Note: Even if it rains they still have the event, the only time they'll cancel the event if it's a Hurricane coming through.

@joepistol I think if it was German Export Scopes, more than likely it would have been Zeiss, Zeiss has been around in Germany since the early 1900s before WW1, also even though their website erases what they did after 1936, most of us who collect WW2 Era Rifles know that Zeiss made really good...

Yup I know all the online surplus stores for parts.

Nah I use new production ammo or surplus ammo whatever I can find.

I should elaborate on this website, as it goes into the history of the M1 Garand, it also documents the part number of every part in the M1 Garand, documentation on Serial Numbers and Production Dates, including Manufacturers. I used it to replace the bolt on my M1 Garand to a Period Specific...

Yes, Krupp made guns, once upon a time, but they made them for Germany as Krupp was a German Company, and mainly they were artillery pieces. My Uncle has a few Husqvarna rifles that I think he said he bought at Sears many years ago. This website has some insight on Swedish Pre-War and Post-War...

I'm just going by what I know about European Arms and Sweden is a bit of an odd ball by having only a few firearms manufacturers before WW2 Started so most Pre-WW2 Commercial/Civilian Rifles would have been manufactured by Husqvarna as they were the largest manufacturer that sold Commercially.

I shoot all my guns, I own no safe queens only workhorses. The builds aren't done yet, so they're not in shootable condition. I'm in the process of converting a Federal Arms FA91 to a G3 Style PTR 91 GIR Receiver and in the process of trying to build a CETME.

@joepistol Isn't the Swedish Model 1941 just a variation of the Swedish 1896 Mauser in 6.5x55mm? As far as I know even if it was Pre-WW2 most non-military Rifles in Sweden would have been Husqvarna manufactured, and yes they used to make everything in Sweden, similar to how General Electric used...

I've got more, but I'm working on building an HK G3/91 and a CETME at the moment.

Another good website for the M1 Garand. USRIFLECAL30M1.com

My L1A1 FAL: Note: If you recognize the Work Bench then you know who my Gunsmith is ;)

Sorry for double posting but I just got an update from The CMP that they have some 7.62 NATO Garands available for $950 and $1600. Link: https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1-garand/#7.62NATOM1Garand Note: Be aware that these are rated for standard 7.62x51mm NATO and not Commercial .308. My...

Things are going fine, I'm not retired, but I do have 30 acres and a backyard Range, unfortunately I need a Forestry Mulcher to carve out my Range from 100 yards to 300 yards.

My M1 Carbine that's been unbubba'd (Manfactured Jan of 1943 Standard Products): My CMP M1 Garand (Manfactured Jan of 1944 SA): My Type 53 Mosin M44: My Bubba'd Krag: (Note: It's at my Gunsmith getting unbubba'd, previous owner "tried" to turn it into a Carbine.) My Cavalry Carcano: (Yes...
