Ahhh. Very nice regardless. Apparantly there's a certain technique to firing it and you can get a better rate of fire than the Gerry semis we were up against in North Africa.

I had no idea you were old enough to be a veteran of that campaign.
Congratulations.

Wow!
Not even two days and y'all behaved! Sort of. I will too. Didn't so much when I was in, but older and wiser now.  However. A couple weeks ago at the range, I did see some hot chick firing her boy friend's M4. Sexy sight. If I had a digital camera and had it with me, I would have taken some shots and posted them RL. Always fun to mess with the rules. Plus it was coldish that day.

Uh.....nice lavender grips and mag bumpers.
Do they match your pumps and purse?

Very original. It reminds me of this insane rifle I saw at a gun show that had a blue receiver similar to that while the rest was stainless save for the stock, which was bizarre in itself. Hardly tactical but goreous. More porn please.

I don't know about faster than the semi's, but as for firing technique I've heard about one alternative. May or may not be what you're thinking of.
For a right handed shooter: Trigger finger is relocated to the bolt, and the middle finger becomes the trigger finger. This way, the bolt is ready for manipulation immediately after the trigger is squeezed. It is a bit awkward at first, but works well with practice. (doesn't everything?)

Give it a shot
I'll try this.
It worked. The new baby is on the bottom. Bonus points for getting second from the top.

New baby is an '03 Springfield, looks like the second from the top is a Mosin Nagant.

The Germans had no significant numbers of semi-auto rifles in North Africa. After the G41s failed in testing, the G43 was the next German semi, and it was not issued to the Afrika Corps. German troops used primarily the bolt-action K98 rifle.
Just wanted to set the record straight.

The top one is the Moisin Nagant. They both have side mounted bayonets. The Moisin Nagant's is more spike like while the second one is a blade.
Hint: it fires the Spitzgeschoss version of the 8x57J (modified from the standard 8x57J)

Nice, I have a blued one. it was my Great G-fathers in my safe.
TR thank you. that 73 was a boat anchor when I picked it up. it started life out as a long rifle but was Carbine-ize via hack saw. Only part I had to replace was the magazine tube, it was cut to short. Also it had custom checking,
Here is a little in to the work picture.
