Well Space is limited so mine is small

1939 No1 MkIII BSA

1941 No4 MkI Longbranch

1916 P-14 Remington

1941 Finnish M-39 Sako

Savage Model 19 NRA Match Rifle (circa 1925)

M-1917 Restoration Project in the works

I have a Mannlicher stocked carbine built on a mix Master 98 action

and a 22 Marlin bolt action fitted with peep sights.

The next C&R after the rebuild with be either a No5 MkI or a No4 MkII unless I get really daring and get a MAS 36

That is an excellent collection !! I hope to one day add a P-14 and a M-1917. You have any pictures of that P-14 and would be nice to see some before and after pictures of the M-1917.
