Yes I do they are pretty cool guns mine is a 1943 so it was made during the height of world war 2. Got a pretty good deal on it Classic Firearms out of North Carolina is running a grade B version for $99 dollars. only issues with them is that the stocks have some dings and scratches on them.

55 gr Hornady v-max behind the shoulder just flattered this yote! never even kicked! It was awesome!! I used to shoot remington varmets but they are a hornady v-max that rem loads and cost $2 or 3 more a box so switched to Hornady. I practice with 55gr hornady soft points because they are cheaper and the ballistics are identical.

No worries I was just curious what they looked like. Think I saw some at Cabelas last couple times I was there. Do you know how old it is?

yeah theres some pretty cool old military rifles from other countries. The Swiss straight pull bolt guns (caliber 7.5x55) are pretty cool and so is a Steyr M95 (caliber 8x56R). I have a C&R license and like looking into these older guns.

heres a pic of one of the models for the Swiss guns

I applied for my C&R license in early January so hopefully I will have it in the next few weeks! I see deals on old guns here and there but its not worth the ffl fee and the hassle alot of times. Saw a wall hanger pistol at cabelas for $30 but would have cost over $50 to get it without a C&R. What the heck. lol
