I will get mine out tomorrow and take some decent photos. The Bowie is faux.

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

I did find a nice M38 1942 Swede Husqvarna for 695.00 plus 20.00 for a background ck. As I’m not a ax murderer, illegal alien, legal alien or a politician I passed.

I spent some time last night cleaning the bore, will continue cleaning it tonight. Whereas the 6.5 Swedish Mauser I picked up last month was grouping into an inch with my cas...
