Is That All?
Guys and Gals:
OK -- so where are the guns?
Five, six, rifles only? A couple of pistolitas? Lord Have Mercy.
I know most of you own just a few more than a couple.

What type of pistol would you like to see? Shotguns? Drillings? deactivated nasties?

You know I don't mind the record being set straight
I was told it by an ex army fellow so I assumed (yep, there's the problem) it would be correct. If I find him he'll be buying.

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?)

That could be it. Interesting way to shoot, though.

Small Trees?
The Arisaka series of rifles are based on a Mauser action but they did have one unique feature. A two piece stock. Must be because of small trees in Japan or using every bit of the big ones.
If you look close at the top one you can see a fine line at the same place where the lower one is missing.
Pete
Addition: OK, I did a little looking. Both have the Chrysanthenum stamp on the upper reciever. Both have a clear "Type" stamp followed by the same looking "8" stamp ie ")(" and what looks like a "3" stamp (three lines). The beater has the Nagoya Arsenal stamp on the side with the seriel number and the good one has the Koishikawa (1870-1935) or Kokura (1936--) Arsenal stamp with the seriel number.
That's about as far as I can go. Need an expert here Boss.

Very nice!
How do you like the STI VIP? Is it reliable? Any problems with mags?

That is not a VIP. That is a SVI aluminum frame with caspian slide and a lot more goodies. I built that gun about 4 years before STI came out with their model. Light, accurate and effecient.

Yes, they sure do get addicting. One reason I can go to three gun shows in a row, when broke, just to look at all the nice toys. Nice firearms.

You are digging a deep hole with Ms. FS, calling her ugly may require an apology or rendering of services. A few weeks as an assistant shipping associate may work, but if she invites you into the basement, run for your life.
There is no hammer on a P7, squeezing the grip (cocking lever) pulls the firing pin (actually, seems more like a striker to me) into a cocked position.
Good luck.

Anyone with a line on a decent 03A3, particularly with a C stock, drop me a PM if you would.

Our shows near me are over (Oregon) for now, there seem to have been plenty of 03's and 03A3s, at least more than normal. IF I go to another one, I will try to grab the card of the seller for you. Saw a real nice rebarreled 03, maybe a total 10 03s and 03A3s.

Thanks HOLLiS. I have some gaps in my collection. An 03A3 with a C stock is what I want.
I also need a Trapdoor Springfield, a Krag, and a P17.

Thanks, Sir!
Have promised to FS first reply on the part about her, in different thread. She did not rack her shotgun, though. It was not the smoothest joke uttered...
