    Not that they'd ever have needed a bayonet, much less a folding one...

    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

    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.

    I am always amazed at the plethora of historically significant firearms that have made their way to such a far flung and small corner of civilisation. Long may we preserve it.

    You seem to have a really nice one. Do you know which factory and series? Mine is Nagoya Series 1. My Japanese collecting even inspired me to take a trip to Japan in 2017. My Series 34 was made by Toyo Kogyo in Hiroshima, which is now the car company Mazda. If you want to know, I will be able to tell you.

    It's something else seeing this place in person. It feels astonishingly peaceful, the people are incredible, and you can feel the effect of the trauma to this day.

    Oh... and the beer is great.

    Hi yes all the details on both. I have a great book - will take a photo. Chrysanthemums intact. Went to Hiroshima in 1988 - part of school trip - and horrible to witness what occurred but understand the reasons. I can still see the steps of a bank that had the shadow of a man burnt into them...he had been instantly vapourised. Love your stuff...I haven't even seen a MAS firsthand - apart from the 1917 3006 are there any other WWII axis/allies bolt action rifles to look out for? My son has a WWII 3" mortar tube sitting in his bedroom...they flog most of my stuff except the rifles! They just put their names beside those. The jungle carbine is date 8/44 - pretty happy to have an early one.

    PS yes there beer is pretty good, and they make cracking good whiskey...although yet again none in that collection.

    If you like French stuff, how about a Berthier and Lebel? They were both used extensively in WWII. The MAS 36s are a bit challenging to find, but there are some out there. Berthiers are kind of the same deal, but I've god a good friend who's owned a few over the years.

    Lol yes its a huge beast. Weighs about 8.9kg fully equipped and is crazy long. Will need to measure its length...but I would guess maybe 140-150cm long with suppressor. I also would not want to carry it too far

    New Greystone .223 K Suppressor and Athlon Ares BTR scope mounted up on the Tikka.

    First time using the Arisaka scope level tool and it was excellent. Took about 20 seconds to get it perfectly level.

    Very happy with the new additions. The scope eye box is a bit picky at 27X but as long as your comb height is good, it's excellent.
    Glass is very nice, turrets were easy to set + use.

    Dropped a couple of goats at 310 yds with ease at 7am....

    The Greystone can is VERY quiet.
