I finally figured out what I'm going to do with my Mauser. I'm keeping it!

Motorcycle people put little motorbikes in glass houses, car people put little cars in glass houses, but only gun people can make it COOL !

Nicely done Rod. I hope that was a LaCorona action.

Naw, it's an HVA. I'm Danish. We have been instilled from birth to hate the Swedes ! It's what we do when we aren't raping, pillaging and burning. LOL

Very nice; I have an 03 Springfield like that.

I was gonna sell the fool thing Tom. But I had it sitting on my desk at work and I kept playing with it all the time. I figure the thing has cost me about $5,000 in lost labor from drinking coffee and petting it. I had to take it home so I can pay rent! LOL

I stained the stand before taking it home which looks a whole hell of a lot better. One thing is for sure. My cell phone takes shitty pictures compared to my D810.

I am sure it is worth 5K; especially the glass case. Mine has no case, sadly.

The case wasn't that bad Tom. About $60 USD at Micheal's. It's a football display case. I see if you get one on line they have them on sale for $40 USD. The BASTARDS!

A bloke I know was so incensed when the pistol-licence price was doubling that, when the local dealer showed no interest in buying his Ruger cap-and-ball revolver, he sawed it end to end and put one side on a piece of mulga wood. Thus 'destroyed', it now lives on his wall, sans a licence.

I like your idea better.

I've seen that before, when you paralyzed all the folks on Mauser Central.

It looks a heck of a lot better now.

Really a great display, Rod!

They closed Mauser Central right after I posted pictures of it there.

I guess you can only push a bunch of Mauser fanatics, just so far before they crack!
I've been watching behind my back and checking the underside of my vehicle for car bombs for months now. he he

NA HA. You just posted that thinking that I might sign up again. Then they can get my ISP and hunt me down and kill-the-hell-outta-me. Well I'm on to your shenanigans Bobster ! lol

One of my favorites is the 1930s version of the M98 --single shot in 22LR !! An excellent trainer ,after all it trained me to shoot and it still functional as a varmint medicine ! Anyone still make one like that ?

There are days , when you have too much time
