Technically picked this up end of January, but since there's no February thread yet I figured I'd get things started.
C308 Sporter (HK91 clone). Dat slap.
Love the HK clones...now get some unused mags for $5 and stock up HA.
Matched 1930 Czech VZ24, 8mm, altered by the German Depot at Kassel (Kal6) by removing and plugging the wrist swivel, removing the left side swivel off the rear band, and adding a take down disc in the butt stock.

This was from Saturday's gun show.... so end of January also.
Pretty nice 24-3 with early combats.
This one really is a beauty. If you paid less than 1k, you got a good deal.

Another gap closed in the collection:
Israeli K98k in .308, receiver marked dou.45, very likely early postwar production. Receiver and bolt body match, the rest is mix-master or unnumbered and unmarked. Not a single WaA visible on the outside. West German re-proof of 1981, lacquered stock. Need to strip it for a view on the internals and to turn around the lower band. Barrel is bright and shiny, with pretty thin grooves and lands.
The bayo is a WKC (Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie.) with the sheath being an asw 44. Unfortunately it has been sharpened but the entire package was very OK in price.
It will rest next to my FN M1950 Israeli with IDF crest in 8x57mm.

Picked it up from AIM for 99.95 Shipped. I'll throw it in the BCM and give my opinion on it over the weekend.

NICE! I had one briefly built on a S/42G receiver, but returned it as it was too rusted to be of any service.

Always wanted one of these, got it this week, a nice 1956 example.
Swiss K31
Stock is all worn to hell, going to sand it down completely, re-stain and give it a good coat of polyurethane and it should be a looker.

Wow, lots of great ones already!
Here's mine- Springfield 1903 National Match. Documented, great condition. Will be shot a few times per year in CMP matches.
Edit- Also know as 'Mauser copy', LOL.

Not a gun but I did pick this up recently. I noticed this picture hanging in an antique shop and loved the frame so I bought it for cheap money. The picture is by the Chicago Portrait Company and it's of a soldier from WW1 I believe. I decided to take the picture out of the frame to fix it as it was falling out due to the nails on the back coming loose. To my surprise there was a crayon drawn picture of the soldier on the backing board for the picture. I did a little searching and found that the company was taken to court and issued a cease and desist order. I guess they were making their money off the frames. It's sad how a family loses interest in their family history and things like this end up in a house like mine where we don't even know who they are.

No. 3276.
4 F.2d 759 (1924)
CHICAGO PORTRAIT CO. v. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.
Circuit Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.
December 23, 1924.
Rehearing Denied March 2, 1925.
John T. Evans, of Chicago, Ill., for petitioner.
William A. Sweet, of Washington, D. C., for respondent.
Before ALSCHULER, EVANS, and PAGE, Circuit Judges.
PAGE, Circuit Judge.Petitioner (called company) asks that the order to cease and desist, entered against it by respondent (called Commission) in 1923, be set aside (Federal Trade Commission v. Chicago Portrait Co., Docket No. 840).The company, the largest concern of its kind in the United States, for more than 30 years has been engaged in taking orders for and making portraits of parents and other near relatives of its customers by coloring and finishing photographs enlarged from old photographs furnished by the customers. In the years 1919 to 1921, it did a business annually of from $2,500,000 to $4,000,000; the smallest business being in 1921. It had annually 250,000 to 300,000 customers, some in every state.The order covers two things only, and they are to cease and desist:"From representing to customers or prospective customers that the usual prices which it receives, or has received for its portraits, are greater than the prices at which similar portraits are offered, to such customers or prospective customers, when such is not the fact."From using any trade check or other device, in such a way as to directly or indirectly represent to customers or prospective customers that portraits offered by respondent have greater selling prices than the prices at which same are offered, when such is not the fact."

Got the Russian style red dot for my 556 ak from big blue . Still need to paint the hand guard of I'm keeping it on this gun . It gets pretty hot ......
The ar15 just mounted the Nikon p223 3-9x with the p series rings. Just need a charging handle . Been collecting parts for some time lower is from ppf first run so that will give you a idea.
Barrel is a 20" .223 wylde bull that I turned to have deep fins under the hand guard .
Ughh i will be right behind you with its bigger brother... the all black Scar 17..

Im so sick of hearing about price price price.....Im sure FN could easily make it match with a full coat of fde cerakote. The upper is anodized aluminum (looks green in actuality), the stock and lower are colored polymer, so u wont get consistent color depending who made the lower and stock.
I love the multi colors, i think it looks awesome. I don't think price should matter when it comes to color consistency, or have any relation, the love or hate for the color is purely opinion. The price reflects it's ability to be an excellent battle rifle, no more no less, color consistency is the least of my problems when im looking for a SHTF rifle, as long as it's not pink.
Oh, I want a Vortex PST 4-16x50 FFP with moa reticle.
