G'day bladeracer,
What year is your Longbranch? Does it have the Mk1 Action Body, (bolt release spring at rear)? Have never seen a stacking swivel on a No4 before either, Cheers.

[Supaduke]

Cool pistol
Cool rifles

I put the same US ARMY stock on my father-in-law's 510, plus ten-round mag to make it a repeater

[wrenchman]

Just a $60 Chinese Bushnell. I was trying to get it to shoot so I epoxied a dovetail onto the reciever. I also tried AR15 sights on it. Ended up putting the barreled action in a vice and it still wouldn't group.
I'm going to try some jacketed .224 bullets next, but I think I'm going to have to chase up a cheap 10/22 barrel for it. If I can get it to shoot I will be putting peep sights on it.

Greener GP.
all in 12ga like real guns.

Mate...that's impressive! What more can you tell us about that "Greener GP", looks like a converted Martini Henry.

[duncan61]

I had a greener in 12ga .The 450/577 Was in their same set up aka Zulu war movie

[Gun-nut]

Greener made a whole bunch of martini actions from the little .310 cadet rifles right up to harpoon guns .
The GP's like mine where made for cheap farm guns but higher grade trap models where made as well. The were used by the US coast guard at one stage too, which is why i included it here.
They also made a 12-14ga with a special necked down case for prison guards and colonial use, idea being if they got snatched or turned against their colonial masters normal shotsells wouldnt fit quickly rendering them useless.

Mate that's awesome, thanks for the run down on the history. I might have to pick one up myself one day.

[Title_II]

This is all I got that's mil.

[Title_II]

Oops! I forgot, I got a 1919A4 but no pic. It's a semi, though.

[Gun-nut]

Mate that m16 is absolutely beautiful! Is it authentic? (As in full-auto) because the selector switch seems to indicate that it is. Either way she's a beaut.

[Title_II]

Thanks. Yeah, it's the real deal. Easy way to tell is by the sear pin over the selector.

[Supaduke]

Very nice! Worth quite a few dollars a genuine M16. Nice investment.

[No1Mk3]

MkIII Greener Police Cartridge, showing groove allowing 3 prong striker to fire, which would not work on conventional ammo.

[Supaduke]

Any more info on how the three prong striker works? Very interesting bit of history.

[Supaduke]

And in some good news, I finally picked up my Finn and Russian. Haven't had time to get a proper look at them yet. Initial inspection seems to be excellent. I will get them cleaned up and take a few photos. The M39 really is quite a beautiful rifle. Got some nice character in the stock and the metal work and rifling is mint.

[No1Mk3]

G'day Supaduke,
To reduce criminal misuse of the gun, it was fitted with a firing pin in the form of a trident with all 2 outside tines the same length and the center firing pin slightly shorter or sometimes the same length. Upon contact with the flat base of a conventional shell base the firing pin would be prevented from striking the primer. The diameter and depth of the groove allowed the striker to hit the primer. It was a good idea, but so easy to overcome. Will you be increasing your Vodka intake, by the way? You should get a lot of joy from your Ukko Pekka!

[Supaduke]

Thanks no.1 , very interesting.

Here's the new toys. I will do another thread with a few more photos

M39 and 91/30

Thought I'd post something different. I could post a pic of couple of Mosins... But everyone knows what they look like. I am pretty happy i managed to track down actual Mosin clips with factory stamps, because I am OCD like that.

[Supaduke]

Nice one. I bought some Chinese ones that are ******. From the few I've tried, they don't work. Thankfully they only cost me about $6 for 10. Very tight in the clip slot and refuse to feed rounds.

Whoah

Nice handgun.

[Wm.Traynor]

Whoah

Nice handgun.

Yep Like the old rifle too

[No1Mk3]

Smith and Wesson Model 1917 in 45ACP. This particular revolver was part of a 1937 contract for Brazil, where they were known as Modelo 1937 and served with them until the early '70's, including with the Brazilian Expeditionary Forces in Italy during WW2.

[Title_II]

You mates have good taste in milsurp handguns. Here we are flooded with top break garbage and of course endless piles of Nagants covered in cos. How did you end up with all our guns?

Although I do have to admit when we were kids we grabbed a couple of those top breaks and a couple boxes of ammo and had a bit of fun down by the creek!
