Here comes the tank joke: one speed forward; three speeds in reverse.I have some pristine World War II Italian rifles that may be of interest to you..
I mean absolutely pristine.
They’ve never been fired and only dropped once.

Well, that's showstopper.I have been to places where the populace is disarmed. The bumper sticker comes to mind.
"Politicians love unarmed peasants."
tell me about corrosive ammo.
Thank you! Very helpful.The chemical composition of the primers contain some salts that are hygroscopic, ie they attract/absorb moisture.
This leads to accelerated rusting in the bore and on the bolt face of a bolt action rifle. Also, the gas system in a semiautomatic.
It's easy enough to handle. Clean as soon as possible. Dump water down the bore and over the bolt, dry, then clean and lubricate as normal. Semi's are more involved to clean and I personally avoid corrosive ammo in semiauto weapons.
Delay cleaning corrosive salts at your own risk.
Those Chinese Tok's are nice. As long as you clean when finished, you'll have no problem.

Yeah. Most people fire the GP11 when they can find it and then buy the PPU for the decent boxer brass.
Thank you, Salted. I'm glad I could share a more interesting facet with you.
In addition to my admiration of the "old world" craftsmanship of the bolt action era, I am also a combat veteran.

Wow, Up here those Swedish Mausers and in a degree The German made ones are not that rare, and I have a reason to believe that they go for approximately half the price asked in the U.SThe German and Swede Mausers are so in demand that they are usually more than I care to spend, like all the American stuff.
I managed to snag Yugo and Turk Mausers in 8mm, though. Still nothing in 6.5. I don't feel compelled to own 6.5 but have been eyeballing 7mm quite often.
My best Mauser is an FN made for Colombian military in 30-06 and re-calibered in 7.62 NATO while in service to Israel.

With Switzerland being neutral in WWI, was this intended as a military rifle or a hunting piece? The length makes it somewhat ungainly, but its accuracy is a virtue.
Jaytex, you need to see the light and grab a Lee-Enfield. Rugged, holds 10 rounds and has a super smooth action. My brother gave me a #4 MkII and it must have a match grade barrel because it is wicked accurate. Only drawback is ammo, .303 rounds aren’t cheap.
Do you want the King of England coming in here, pushing you around? Huh? Well? DO YOU?When the gun crew on the forum get going it seems more about the doodads than the substance of their daily carry, which in in my mind is an obscenity given that there's no need for a lethal weapon given the safety of the daily environment. Seems more an
excuse to strut about like a turkey than anything else.
Speaking of goofy calibers...They seem cool but never wanted to venture into more goofy calibers. I’ve got quite a few already.
