WW II Weapons

[mgentry]

I collect and restore WW II weapons, mainly M1 Garands and M1 Carbines. I have over ten M1 Garands and over five carbines. They are fun and challenging to find, purchase and restore.

 

[moodster]

What kind of money to restore a Garand?
I have made in 42

Saw one of this on display at the Champlin Fighter Museum down in Mesa, AZ back in the 90's..interesting concept about able to shoot around corners but not very practicable as I guess after a hundred rounds or so the barrel exploded from all of the stress and trapped gas. It's called a Krummlauf and were attached to the Stg44 and a MG42...very interesting but very stupid.

Wow. I wonder what engineer came up with that genius idea. Love the Stg44 though

Probably that paper hanging little corporal with the moustache and funny ears..no wonder they lost the damn war.

It's hard to take anyone serious when they're wearing bunny ears...

 

[Sgt. Rock]

Came across this photo..leave it to those damn Russkies using man's best friend for anti-tank duty. Needless to say it was a one-way trip.

The doggy trick didn't work out too well for the Soviets. The dogs were trained using Russian tanks. And when they were actually tried in real combat, most of them turned around an ran back under their own armor.

You will notice that the picture must be of training, since the tank is a T-34

And the Stg44 Krummlauf was originally designed for turret-less tank destoyers (JagPanzers, StuGs, etc.) to engage infantry on their flanks.

Ranks right up there with bat-bombs, and pigeon guided bombs :thumbsdown:

Took this one in not long ago. Beretta 934, 9-corto/.380, made in facist Italy in 1942.

That would be a dream job

You are saying right because i am also a collector of these weapons.Some people also purchase these weapons for decorations if these are not genuine but replica.

Came across a photo of a SS soldier with a American M-1 carbine..circa late '44. I think that long term problem for the Germans with captured stuff like this would be scrounging for correct ammo on the battlefield but still hadn't seen this photo before.

 

[Jo6pak]

Cool pic.
I figure the guy had a bolt action Kar98 and figured the lil' semi auto carbine was a bit better. He may have been scrounging for 8mm ammo by that state in the war anyway.

I've seen a lot of picks from the eastern front of Wermacht soldiers using Soviet weapons and vice-versa. Even German markings painted on T-34 tanks
