Attemptng a what is it contest again

Post by Niner » Wed Feb 28, 2007 3:45 pm

Tried this a couple of weeks ago with nobody entering the contest. This one should be easier. I'll leave it up a couple of weeks. Whoever enters and gets the most correctly indentified wins. The prize is a milsurp after hour pin and iron on patch.

All of these muzzles can be identified from some post or other at this site. The hardest to indentify maybe NO. 5. Hint... it is a version of Mauser.

The pictures are numbered 1 through 10 and posted in two posts. Look for part two to follow. Email me your answers. Just click on my profile to do so.

What is it part two

Post by Niner » Wed Feb 28, 2007 3:59 pm

The last five questions.

First person with all right answers wins. If no such person, first person with the most right answers when I end the contest March 15th. If it should go to the end and nobody has them all correct the first person to have sent in the most correct answers wins.

This should be easy.

This is why I don't play -

1) A rifle I can't identify

2) another rifle I can't identify

3) yet another rifle I can't identify

4) and another rifle I can't identify

5) and another bloody rifle I can't identify

6) and a further rifle I can't identify

7) yet one more rifle I can't identify

8) believe it or not I know this one - either a 2A or 2A1

9) back to the rifles I can't identify

10) and a No5

Surely someone can better that ? :bigsmile:
