New Firearms Acquisition Thread January 2023

Cool, I'm always curious because a lot of Yugo barreled kits have a sewer pipe for a bore. You got a good one. Awesome M70A build, I love it!
Passed bullet test easily wich I was surprised myself,you never know what your getting with a original barrel. And a look down the bore looked like a mirror. Trust me I've been screwed before, I once was doing a RPK build and bought a barrel (GunBroker) that in the pics passed the bullet test but when I actually had the damn thing in hand it swallowed the round up to the shoulder
 
Got this tonight at my local dealer. It's a 1969 Marlin 39A Golden Mountie, has some wear so I'll be working on it. The sling was a mother-bear to get off, probably hasn;t been off the rifle since it was made. It's in bad shape so I'll probably contact Aces and Eights to get a replacement. Also need to contact Skinner Sights for a peep.

Here's a couple of milsurps I picked up from a fellow collector earlier this month. First is a Hungarian Frommer Stop which is one of 37,000ish that were contracted by and sent to Germany during WWI.

Second is a Portuguese contract Steyr 1896 Mannlicher. From what I gather, it's one of the 4,000 'short rifles' used by the Portuguese Navy and colonial troops. It's essentially a shortened 1893 Romanian Mannlicher. It's a really interesting rifle even though I have no idea where the green paint came from....
