Thanks gents, it's sure nice, kind of undecided on what I might do with it.

Being a collector of anything it isn't often that you try to aquire the worst of what you are collecting, but this might be the exception to the rule. about 2 years ago I had the opportunity to acquire what one firearms expert calls "The Worst Sniper Rifle ever made". Now being as I collec...

My dad procured this rifle in 1968 for the princely sum of $16.75 along with 30 rounds of Kynoch 577/450 ammo. He spent the morning cleaning it up and that afternoon we took it down to the range and tried it out. Needless to say we got everyone's attention when the 1st round went down range and he s...

My Great Uncle, Andrew Miller served on the Alabama from its commissioning in 42 til its decommissio...

No import marks, (though none of my Hungarians do) and it seems to be thought that most made there way here from Canada. These Hungarians just seem to hold a special allure for me.
