lovely collection IvanK! Couple of questions for ya:

1) Which version is the T?
2) Is that a genuine Jungle Carabine? Man I never tried one but always wanted to, bet it kicks like a mule!
3) What k98 is that? I have a BCD 42 and the Byf 43 (with ZF-41 rail).

The T is a No4MK1T all matching numbers, and came in the original wooden crate. Shoots like a dream. Though I am very sparing with this one perhaps only 10 rounds a year through this Gem.

The Jungle Carbine No5 rifle is indeed a genuine one. They are getting a little scarce nowadays but still available. Kicks like a mule and true to the history shoots like crap ... but you have to have one.

The KAR98 was made in 1944 with German Waffenamts markings etc but also a "Preduzece 44" re build. So its German origin but Yougo refurb.

What? Even the ozzies can have guns? Britiain is so lame...

I wanted to get a black powder baker rifle but even that comes under a fire arms certificate... Smooth bore just wouldn't be the same, also I cant find anyone selling a baker with a rifled barrel... I'd love a enfield or a K98... You lucky gits. So much jealousy...

Thanks to everyone for the info.

I ended up getting the Arsenal 7.62x39. I know it's a bit expensive for what it is but, I have the disposable income and I don't have the time to do the build myself so it was a no brainer. The WASRs had massively varied reviews for quality so I stayed away from those. I considered a Bulgarian AK but figured why not go with a real Russian model since I can?

I spread the word around work and six of us ended up getting one. Picked up a few 30 round mags for $14 each at the gun show and I just ordered 1000 rounds of ammo (only $235!!!!) so I'm good to go for the next few years!

I hope to get it sighted in this weekend.

Thanks again to everyone who pitched in.

Post up a range report!
Thing about AK's is they replicate in your gun safe, I started with one, now I'm up to 5. Even build my AR's to fire x39. An insidious addiction!

You can have a military rifle if you have somewhere to shoot it...

Have you tried Henry Kranks in Pudsey? I'm sure I saw a rifled Baker in the catalogue. Othrwise, Gary at Derbyshire Arms will get you one.
