Not deactivated (and one is not technically WW2), but I also got a Springfield M1A air rifle (for a bit of fun) and a miniature scale, all metal, Sten MkII. It’s an excellent little thing, like a...

Father Christmas got me a Thompson M1 this year.

It’s got a hand guard brace, which was introduced late in the war to prevent splitting.

Unfortunately I’m moving house soon so there’s no group...

A days overtime, a 10% summer sale, and I obtained another Italian gun!
A 1941 dated Carcano M91 Calvary carbine

I’ve got a magazine for the M37. Unfortunately the rounds aren’t original Italian WW2, but it looks the part.

My understanding is that it is current law, however, it is full of loopholes. It would require a test case to in order for certain points to be clarified, but given that the punishment is a level 1...

Not a problem, don’t worry I did not read your query that way, l just know that for some people investment overrides passion when it comes to collecting. If it wasn’t for my wife being strict I’d...

About two thirds / three quarters (I.e the older spec) can’t be sold unless they are further deactivated to EU specification.. I think it’s about £100+ per gun to do that. I never bought them as an...

I think that’s all of them! There’s a bit more room to fit in one or two more, I’ll have to see what Father Christmas brings me next year. Unfortunately I couldn’t fit in the M37 tripod

Well, Father Christmas got me an Italian M37 HMG! Probably would have come in handy mounted to his sleigh whilst flying over some parts of the world at the moment.

It’s a beast of a gun and...

I’ve shown this one elsewhere but thought I’d add it to this thread as technically it’s deactivated. A relic SMLE. I made a trench sign to mount it on

I got another gun! And it’s not even Christmas or my birthday.
A US Springfield .30-06 1903 A3. Being new spec the bolt moves and kind of replicates being cocked but it won’t dry fire. I need...

Many thanks for the reply. A few of these have come on the market in the UK so I assume that they are from the same source, most likely Eastern Europe / Russia. I was aware of the sling but not the...

I think I need a bigger floor or to grow taller, the other option is no more guns and I don’t think that’s an option

I also got a holster for my flare gun. It’s dated 1943

I got an Italian Beretta M.38/44 for Christmas. It came with a sling, spare mags some tools and a leather bandolier

I must get around to doing another group shot

And I also got a vz.27, a Czechoslovakian pistol made whilst under the occupation of the Germans. It is stamped with the Waffenamt.

I got a couple of guns for a Christmas. First up is a Molins No.2 Mk.5 signal pistol. It is marked M601 which is a war time (WW2) British manufactures code for I.L. Berridge & Co of Leicester. ...

The Carcano is a bit of a mystery as it has a Mauser stock. It was deactivated in 1997 and the certificate states 'S/R, rifle, Beretta'. The last 8 photos on post #1 show the gun in detail and the...

Unfortunately it hasn’t grown since the last photos, although I hope to get some more when funds allow. They’re not really displayed. I have a couple on mannequins and the rest are propped up...

I also got a No.69 grenade to go with my No.5 and No.36

No gun this Christmas, but I did get a spare barrel for my Canadian mk2 Inglis made Bren along with a Canadian made spare barrel bag

I got my sling (a nice battered 1943 dated one) so I thought it was time for another group shot.

Duly noted, many thanks

I can't believe it's been two years since my last gun:shok_yikes:

A long time coming but I received a 1942 dated SMLE from Father Christmas. It's a little bit battered and bruised but I'm not too...

You say 'proper', I say expensive!
