I'm a big fan of milsurp rifles. I have a few and really enjoy the history and character. I thought I would start a thread for milsurp fans to show their wares. I would like to keep it to military rifles in unsporterized original configuration. Tell us anything interesting about them. What it likes to shoot and how well. I really enjoy seeing what others have. I will start with one of my favourites.

I picked this up about a year ago. The bore, action and parkerising are mint. It's only a 2 groove barrel but it will group about 2-3 inches at 100m. The wood has a few dings but no cracks or splits.
Shoots nicely with a 174gr fmj bullet , pushed along by a mild load of 38gr 2208.
Has the war production 600m-300m flip style aperture sight.
Made in America for the British circa 1942.
I have more but I thought I would get the ball rolling.
