Small arms and edged weapons

[coolhandluke]

After seeing Burt and Jan's photos from the SOS thread, I've discovered that there's likely several other members that also have interest in surplus small arms and edged weapons.

As long as it is accordance with forum rules (I didn't find any information stating otherwise), I'd love to see what other members have in their collections. Please feel free redact or obscure any serial numbers that you would not want to be openly shared on the web. This naturally goes without saying, but please don't share anything that isn't legal to own in your particular city, state, or country of residence.

Hope , it is ok, to post non-military issued edges?

Man o man, that M1 Garand is sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Due to UK gun laws without a fire arms certificate I’m limited to air rifles up to a certain velocity. This is my only gun, a German made Weihrauch HW 95K in 177 calibre.

Thanks Grant. IIRC, that rifle has been in the collection longer than anything else. It's a CMP service grade rifle that I picked up from a former range master at a now closed local gun range. I traded the Rock Island M-1903 match rifle below for it.

I added a couple more rifles that I found pics of in the original post. I drastically downsized my collection to just my favorite pieces after I had kids. I had a decent number of Russian and Finnish Mosin Nagant rifles and a few Lee Enfields (No 4 MK I and MK II, No 5 Jungle Carbine) at one point as well. I should have never parted with the unissued '55 Fazakerley No 4 MKII and VKT M-39 below.

Repro 91/30 Izhevsk PU (can't recall the year)

1942 Finnish VKT M-39

1939 Russian Izhevsk 91/30 ( Finnish Winter War Capture)

Wow! That was the grail souvenir for a lot of GI's during the war! Is it fun to shoot?

Do Norway firearm laws allow you to possess a handgun? Or is it decommissioned?

Nice. I bought a Ruger Wrangler SAA and it's fun to shoot even though it's .22. I'd like to get a Ruger .45 but that's not possible now with the bans in Canada. Hopefully the laws will be reversed when the government changes. I want to shoot my M-4 again.

Italians make good repros of historic pistols for some reason.
