|  6 top) Steyr mfg M95 carbine, FTR cut down rifle by arsenal, 8x56R 2) French mfg Turkish Forestry Carbine, 8mm Lebel, 3 shot clips 3) Steyr built M38 carcano carbine for Austria and later shipped to some middle eastern country, unusual 8x57 4) Erfurt 98 carbine, 1914, looks FTRed, 8x57 5) Ludwig & Lowe model 1896, total mixmaster, serial # places it as pare f the Chilean army order, but it has a Boer stock? There are no visible OVS marks and the rifle is in fair shape only. I was given a written history on the rifle, but haven't gotten anything back for verification. Boer War Museum in South Africa says it may have been owned by Cornelius Frederick Nothnagel, a POW #250121 from Witpootjie SA, he was taken prisoner Oct/22/1901 and sent to India. The receiver and bbl match but nothing else does, I suspect that the stock may be real, but I wouldn't put any money on it.

|  9 AIA M10 B2 Match rifle with Shepherd 3-10 AO scope on Harris 8in bipod. From Wolverine Sports. Trigger is a little rough and needs some work, inconsistant let off but rifle is well built and easy to shoot well. Little or no felt recoil. Picatinny style rail is nice, but needed a shim under the rear pad to get enough elevation for useful scope corrections.
|  10 Target from M10 B2 Match AIA rifle, shot oct / 9 / o6. score - 47 - 2X. Not great but not bad for an unfamiliar rifle and crappy trigger let off. My fault for the losses. Target is Hunter Bench Rest for 100yds. There are six targets S for sighters and 1-5 for single shot on each for score. Targets are 4in diameter with 1/2in 10 ring and 3/32 X dot. Load was 48 grns W748 x 155 Sierra #1992 (2155) Palma Match over 250 CCI primer. The scope used is a Shepherd 3-10 AO

|  13 LS of Ishevsky 1944 dated 91/30 sniper and scope, notice 7 digit number/letters denoteing it's original sniper roots. With all the wear on tis rifle, it has a perfect bore, a plus because I bought it as a shooter. I will send in some pics of targets when hunting season is over.
|  14 Berdan II Tula mfg RS, yes the bolt is closed in that position. It has been totally refinished to save it from deteriorating after some horrendous storage conditions in a root cellar for many years.
