I've got a new shooting video for you all, featuring my new S&W K-38 Combat Masterpiece, made around 1951. A classic gun and my first "real" revolver -- no offense to my Nagant Revolver hehe.

Ooh, those are nice, can i ask what the mauser is worth? Also, what do you guys pay for the ammo for the Nagant revolver? i bought a box yesterday and it was 78 euro for 50.
I also recently bought an old Colt pistol, a WW1 Army issue one, super happy with it.

The Mauser is worth somewhere from $500-$600 most likely, given that it is in nearly mint condition, mainly because it sat in a drawer for 70 years after my grandfather brought it home from Europe  ;).

Nagant revolver ammo isn't that expensive here in the states. I'm able to reliably find it for around $25-$30 for a box of 50 of new factory ammo made by Prvi Partizan. It's also pretty easy to find the hotter (and corrosive) Soviet surplus stuff for about 50 cents a round.

I usually stick to shooting the less fun factory ammo out of it though, as for some reason I have a really tough time getting the surplus cases out of the gun  :-\

Ah, i see, here all i can find so far is Fiocchi made ammo, nothing else. I don't think i will do much shooting with that revolver with those prices.

Anyway, have a look at my new 1915 made Colt 1903. It has Belgian army proofmarks so its a good guess that this is from the Batch of Colts ordered by the Belgian army in 1915 to arm our officers.

I can not wait to shoot it.

Nice!! I really want a Colt 1908 (the version in .38 acp). They're sexy guns.

Well, to my knowdge they do make 8x56mmR, at least I saw a box for sale at Liberty Tree Collectors. To-day I bought myself a barreled action for a Short Magazine Lee-Enfield. The action is dated 1918 and was made by the Enfield arsenal. It almost looks new and was still greased in cosmoline. The barrel is really good, too, and while it does feature import marks, there is no sign of factory thorough repair. I have traded a 440 round can of 7,62x54mmR and a little cash for it. Now I want to order the missing parts, as soon as I can afford them, that is.

By the way, does anyone want a LSA 1918 Sht. Le. Mk. III, no import marks, with the magazine cut-off still in place? It is in good condition and to my eye has not had any parts re-placed since it's manufacture, even the extractor seems original! The only exception is the trigger guard screw, which I had re-placed since it broke, however I still have the original in a zip-lock bag.
How much are you asking, out of curiosity?

Just an amateur video.

All i forgot to say is that yes, you can take it out of safety and put the hammer against the firing pin. Just pull back the hammer, pull the trigger then then let the hammer slowly go all the way to the front, then let go of trigger.

Took out the TT-33. WW2 soviet made. First thing that surprised me... it has a huge muzzle flame! and with modern ammunition its even bigger then military surplus. Shooting 2 magazines here where i alternate between a new and old cartridge. Big flame is new, big recoil is old.

You should definitely invest in some better glasses for the shooting range  :P

When i find something decent that fits over my glasses i will. People that create safety glasses don't take into account people like me.

Mosin Nagant's rudimentary and mass-produced feel.

G43's self-breaking overpowered recoil. (also felt in FH2, I don't like this rifle in-game either, the auto-loading feature is meh compared to its insane recoil).

About bullpup rifles: I thought ejector blowing gunpowder residue to my eye was due to my dominant left eye, but right-handedness (imagine shooting a rifle that way, aiming down the sight). I need to held the trigger with my left hand. Ejector being on the right hand side of gun (designed for right handed soldiers), so it ejects spent cases and gasses right to my partially closed right eye.

The G43 recoil is identical to the M1 Garand ingame (only it pulls left instead of right).

Perhaps I think too much of the G43 as an "auto rifle" while the still treat the Garand as a traditional rifle. The in-game loading method may help to shape that perspective. I think the SVT also give me that perspective as well. This is also prevalent in other games like Sniper and Red Orchestra 2.
