    I admire your taste. Do you have all models of the M1917; Eddystone, Remington & Winchester? I have them all plus some of the P14's that were in .303. Don't overlook the various Enfield Mk I & Mk 4 models; they are quite the old thundersticks in their own right. The swedish mauser is one that I don't have; I do have quite a few of the various other mausers. The BRNO 98/29 Persian has the smoothest action I have ever seen. Keep up the good work.

    I am more of a collector that occasionally hunts, but I shot my last deer with a 8mm Mauser if that helps. I have had several Mausers in the past but I am into Lee Enfields right now and the P-14 and M1917.

    I'm more collector than hunter. Faves? The m38 Swedish & the M1 Carbine. On the most wanted list? The new FN fs2000 & a Ohio ord SLR1918 ( semi auto 1918BAR).

    Sure do! I like my SKS, Mosin and Mauser for the hunt. AK's and Enfield's work well too! They are inexpensive and deadly accurate!
