That's a nice start Dubar. I have most of those mentioned and in duplicate for some. The Swedish K31 straight pull back is a super one.
Mine even came with the previous owners address etc. in the butt plate. Look into a C&R. It's worth it. Not quite the buys of 20 30 yrs ago though.

Very nice.

Now, you need to get ahold of the "scaled accurate" collection of the Mosin 91/30, M38, the pistol and the Springfield 1903A1 models in 22LR, from Keystone Arms that they have come out with. They are a bit pricey though.

Thanks! I only wish my Carcano and Arisaka looked that good.
I was out on the 100yd range this past Wednesday shooting my Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine and Pietta PPSH-41/22 when I guy came up with his 1903. He rolled out his mat, loaded up and proceeded to pepper the target in a prone position. Out of maybe 50rnds he had 1 "flyer" that was no more than 4" out of the black. Pretty impressive stuff.

My Arisaka Type 38 shoots fine, but every time I pull the trigger I see $$$ going down range, plus ammo is hard to come by or was last time I looked:

That's a very rare and valuable bird indeed! 6.5x55mm or 8x63mm?

Our daughter likes Japanese weapons of all sorts, so a number of years ago, I bought her a Type 99 (1941 Nagoya manufacture), complete with the Mum/anti-aircraft sights/monopod thingy. Metal and wood was in very good shape....no import marks. I bought it off of an older guy I knew well, from his private collection. She loves the thing, and we have shot some Norma 7.7x58mm through it, then I gave it a good cleaning. She keeps it in her gun safe, well lubed. It really is a great rifle, except for the short LOP. Man, those Japanese soldiers must have been small!
