OK so here are some from tonight.
Going to start with WWI, think they qualify as being retro!
First up a Steyr M95 with bayo. Not sure on the date of the Steyr yet, still doing research.

Styer again with a 1923 Bolo Mauser.

Next a 1925 Mosin-Nagant 91/30

This is the Mosin with the bayo because I thought it was funny that the whole thing was taller the she is

A 1908 dated Spring 1903, with Bismarck sneaking into the pic

Again the 1903 but with a 1918 dated 1911.

Sorry the flash washed out some of the pics, but didn't feel like editing the photos to adjust them tonight.
Calling me sir is like putting an elevator in a outhouse, it just don't belong.

OK moving on to WWII with some of the Axis weapons.
Leading out a German K98 from 1941. She was asking what/who the rifles were from as we took the pictures, she heard German and got the weird look on her face

A French MAS 36/51dated from 1936.

Italian Carcano 91/28 Dated 1932 with original sling.

Italian Carcano M38 Fucile Corto Dated 1940.

Japanese Arisaka Type 99 Nagoya Arsenal Dated 1939. This is the pride of the Axis collection. It has the original sling, mono pod, dust cover, intact airplane sights, intact Mum, all matching numbers and I have the original G.I. bring back tag in the safe

All the ladies are very attractive. I'm not sorry that we all don't date supermodels like everyone in Arfcom GD. All I can say is some people have no class.

We don't need those types here. Not in our retro home. However, and I say this with the utmost respect fellas....so please don't take offense but it comes with the territory in a thread like this. By no means am I saying stop...however just be prepared for more meatwads. Unfortunately. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long.


Nice pics fellas!! Good to see the girls and the families enjoying the shooting sports.
A man fires a rifle for many years and goes to war. Afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, believing he's finished with the rifle. No matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

Thanks Tex , –– its rifle deer season now and i haven't been on the boards in a while .

I'm glad i missed out on any "mud slingin" going on saying something bad about another man's wife or girlfriend is akin to kicking his dog

My wife is not much of an enthusiast, but she does tend to put up with me pretty well ––- as long as the bills are paid , she usually does not care how many "discreet packages" i bring home. I am going to go NFA and work on procuring a silencer for an AR ––- her biggest issue is muzzle blast.
I don't need her to turn into Foxy Brown or anything when it comes to firearms, but i would like her to be able to competently handle a few items from my collection if she ever needed to

Here is a pic of my L1A1.

She said, "Thanks. It really did hurt my teeth."

Not vintage cigs, and she doesn't actually smoke.
