In the early years of the war, it was not uncommon for the SS to be issued with VZ24's, G24's, ZB26, etc. There are many pictures of SS troops with the above mentioned Czech made weapons.

Sorry for the confusion, the bayonet is not mine, it belongs to the State of Texas and they are planning on displaying it on the ship at a later date. I am a long-time supporter of the USS Texas, the...
The USS Texas was launched in 1912, could it be possible this bayonet was part of the original armory of 1903 rifles and accessories?

Recently workers on the USS Texas found this bayonet and scabbard "hidden" behind a sheet metal panel. The bayonet was made in 1908:
It is a 1905 model bayonet for the 1903 Rifle, The scabbard is...
Not all the M2 parts:
I picked up a "Blue Sky Imports" Korean import Inland 1944 dated M1 Carbine in the early 90's, it had a round bolt, M2 stock, Inland M2 housing, Inland M2 Slide, even a M2...

Since my last Photo ID thread was answered so quickly, here's another one:
My wife got me these two pictures some years back at a garage sale. Both are real photos in a simple binder. Supposedly...
Thanks, I guess that confirms it, mystery solved, I wonder how a real photo of her ended up at a yard sale?
Thanks again for the help.
Since this photo is from a movie, and not a real watime...
Thanks for the replies, faster than I thought, I should have posted this long ago.
I posted this on Facebook, and one other forum tonight.
Someone suggested the actress was Märta Torén, and...
This picture has had me baffled for a while,
My wife got me this framed picture some years back at a yard sale. It's a real photograph, someone punched holes in it for a 3 ring binder at one time,...
Air Force yes,
My dad went to school for 8 months to work on a certain plane, plane not in theatre when he arrived, handed a M16 and field gear, spent his tour on the wire. He had never shot a M16...
Was going through photos today, and thought I would scan and share these:

Are us talking about a U.S. Legal L1A1? Or UK issue?
The L1A1's in govt service had everything needed for full-auto, except for the semi only selector.
The reason they can't import complete L1A1's is because even though they are semi-auto only, they still have the safety sear/auto sear installed and could easily be converted to a machine gun by...
Pictures came from the Battleship Texas Facebook Page, they started posting a bunch of D-Day pics from the Texas on June 6. Page is updated by Texas Parks and Wildlife.
L1A1 I assembled from a very good condition parts kit in the 90's, receiver is a C.A.I. model made in Canada, I removed the carry handle and added a ARMS receiver cover scope mount. I also have a...
These pictures were taken on board the USS Texas on June 6, 1944 near Omaha Beach. The wounded U.S. Soldiers are Rangers. Two of the pictures show German POW's being brought aboard. The last picture...
Good Luck.
I remember here in the States, I used to see all kinds of Military Mauser stocks and take-off barrels at the big gun shows in the late 1980's / early 1990's. I wish I had picked up more...
I agree with the above,
great gun for someone wanting a 8mm mauser style military rifle to shoot without the high price or the possibility of harming the value of an original 98k.
I saw my...
There was a guy here in the U.S. who ran for political office, who was a member of the U.S. SS Re-enactment group Wiking
His name was Richard Iott

Somewhere I saw adapters on the net for 32 S&W short & long, 32 ACP, 7.62 x 25, etc
Seems like it would be fairly easy to get the 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev ammo.......
I've owned both Browning Hi Powers and a CZ 52.
The CZ appeals to me as it is the only roller locked handgun ever made. I had some East German SMG 7.62x25 ammo years back that shot great out of...
That sure looks like a Polish made M44. I had one new in the grease made in 1956, the Polish M44's were made up until 1962. Supposedly Russia stopped production in 1948, moved the machinery to Poland...
