Here's a weird one for y'all: Dutch Model 1895 Mannlicher Carbine, No.3 New Model

Can anyone guess what the extra wood pieces are for?

It was to protect uniforms, right?

Correct, that is what the piece on the magazine was for. The extended handguard had another purpose as well.

Hmm. Makes it easier to draw from a scabbard? Either that or heat mirage

I'm guessing it had something to do with mounting a bayonet...that was so brilliant nobody has ever copied it.

Haha yep pretty much. Allows you to get a full grip on the bayonet without burning your hand when wrapping it around the barrel.

Oh those silly Dutch.

Well, I mean, that really makes some sense except...why would you grab it way up there and negate the reach advantage? I'm guessing the guy who wrote that requirement had never used a bayonet.

Only AR left in the heard well the heard is now just a group. LOL

It's been awhile since I've handled a AR. Had to dig for it to get it out. LWRC for the win.

A friend made me a new saddle scabbard for an old rifle....

7mm-08 is my favorite use of the 308 case.

That Particular rifle is one of the easiest to shoot well I have ever owned. It shoots well out to 800 yds and that is the farthest I have tried. Maybe after I get my house sold I will find a place to send it a bit more.

I have an ackley version of the 7mm-08 but run it around what most max loads for the standard version is. I’ve had solid luck with 162gr a max/eld and 168gr smk out to a mile.

Thinking of selling this 91/30 I bought back in 2012. It’s a 1933 Tula Hex receiver. I’ve only shot it maybe once since I bought it, and rarely take it out to look at it.

Yep, shoot the same projectile over a case full of Varget. Works astonishingly well ! I have been considering doing the Ackley to mine also. a lil more push won't hurt...

PSA.
Don’t know what I’ll put on it yet, maybe my Sig Romeo?
