Weapons and Ammo Collection

[BodhiEtheridge]

Hello all, I have a long weekend so I was looking through these items and thought I’d share. It’s nothing crazy but it’s what I’ve got. It’s quite diverse so I’ll say what every thing is in each image. As I said I’ve got a long weekend so I may do another thread on head gear if I have the time.

As always please click images for better quality.

Regards,
Bodhi

Remembers me when I began collecting. I was 16.
Happy to see a new generation of collectors.

If you can believe it I’ve been collecting for nearly nine years now, it’s crazy to think I’ve already been collecting my whole life.

Best of luck in your collecting endeavors,
Bodhi E.

Nice and diverse.

I don't often see an MP38/44. Is it a deact? $50 was a great buy.

[BodhiEtheridge]

Yes it is a deact but it is poorly done, it also looks like it was painted or coated in a black substance. And doesn’t have the original magazine it looks like an older Uzi magazine to me.

Still for $50 it will display very well.

Just looked around the web a bit. Not sure how long you had it. If recent purchase, probably one of the IMA examples. Similar mag. Theirs are made from parts with an mocked up aluminum receiver.

Nice collection!! I’m sure You will add to it over the next few decades lol

[BodhiEtheridge]

Ah, it does indeed look like that would explain the magazine problem. I am still a little confused as to why mine is painted black but if it’s an IMA example I still saved $200.

Cheers,
Bodhi
