HOLLiS and TR got it.
I have some work to do this afternoon and my guns are kinda' stored by round type. I'll shuffle stuff around after supper and post WW II around 8:00PM Eastern. We'll see who can ID them all from top to bottom.
WW II might be just a tad bit harder for some.

You are the best tourism promoter that I know.
Gotta love a country that trusts and believes in its citizens that much!
As always, nice gear.

Pete, I was just following TR's lead. Originally I passed it off as a mosin nagant variant. That is a nice rifle, I don't have a cleaning rod or sling. If you see one let me know, maybe even a bayonet. Thank you.

TR, in a general sense our gun laws are reasonable, if you can call them like that.
The good thing is that guns are rooted in the culture and generally people do not view them as "evil" as they do in some other countries on this side of the pond.
On tourism, the best parts are the long cold winters, short warm summers and plenty of beautiful women.

The first, I suspect, would be intolerable were it not for the last.
Great history, especially in holding off the Red Army.
How do Finns feel about American visitors?

Yah, I do to. For wood and steel she cannot be beat IMHO. She has never failed to feed, fire, or eject in the 10 years of owned her and she is always right on at 100 yards with any ammo that I feed her. The SLR though is my second favorite with the XM being my "baby". The XM is what I use during Living History.

I though that one would take a few more minutes. Taken as a war prize it has a small brass plate on the back with the details. Somebody was right proud of it and must of hung it over a fire place for years as the wood is about as dry as dust.

RL how we doing on the PORN?

I am with TR, except the model of mannlicher through me, I have a streight pull. I was going to quess Mannlicher and leave it at that.
What country is your 98k from. I have a WWII 98K, but it has streight bolt.
I have a friends who knows a lot about Arisaka, He brought a couple over for me to look at. Sadly I have never had a interest in Japanese firearms.
