Too many polymer wonders. Let's go back in time to 1943. Beautiful Canadian Long Branch No.4 Mk 1* - original, fully matching, 'NZ' marked, with acceptable bayonet with Canadian ZL&T (Zephyr Loom & Textile) frog and ZL&T '42 dated sling. Mark VII ball '54 dated in bandolier below. Almost mint.

The Long Branch maple wood is by far the most aesthetically pleasing of the Lee-Enfield woods in my opinion. This is a fine specimen.
"Peekaboo"...
A very good friend of mine put me onto this and I picked it up earlier this evening, the rifle and the bayonet - what am I?

Close - it's a m/1938. Specifically a 1942 Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag 6.5x55mm "Swedish Mauser" in VGC along with frog, scabbard and bayonet. Ryan is pleased:Quote:

Very nice Ryan, for sure one of the better ones I've seen :)

It's too pretty, he needs drag it down the road tied to his tow bar to give it that 'used' look. :P

How much clearance at the objective
0.75mm or thereabouts - couldn't be better.

Very cool @tonyd
Indeed! I've always had an affinity for Lee-Enfield No 1 Mk3s, the flat nose reminds of the Commando comics I used to read as a kid.Quote:

* 1942 Husqvarna "Swedish Mauser"
* 1942 (ROF Maltby) Lee-Enfield No 4 Mk2
Next on the list:
* Mosin Nagant 1891/30
* Type 38 Arisaka
* M1 Garand
* MAS-36
* M1891 Carcano
I think I know of a carcano that could be had..... Wouldn't be near the top of my own list though. A MAS or an arisaka I'd have in a heart beat. Garands are a wee bit expensive for me to consider, and Mosins don't really do it for me (had a nice one, sold it on pretty quick).
Interesting you only have one semi on the list.
I would add: (stuff I have actually seen in NZ, rather than just dreaming of)
M1 carbine (a nice one)
De Lisle (yeah yeah would have to be a copy I guess)
G-41 or 43
Ljungman
SVT40
StG44
A few varieties of Sten.
Reminds me, I need to get my C sorted asap
Need French MAS 36...and leads appreciated.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...281cda4e7e.jpg

Nice collection:cool:
Like the presentation - what hooks did you use to display the helmets? Also, what are the documents that you have framed?Quote:

some way cool stuff:cool::cool:
Not that they'd ever have needed a bayonet, much less a folding one...Quote:

I need your 1945 MAS!

Hehe. I'm sorry mate, I wish I could help you, but I have Frenchy in me so i'm sentimental about it!
You have a great collection btw - very nice! I like your T38.
Fair enough... I love the 99 with the anti-aircraft sights and monopod LOL. And even a No3 and 1907 bayonet couldn't get near it.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b4ff04638.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6e999c1db8.jpg
