I know and it is open to two interpretations. My friend is trying to contact him on Twitter.
Mel Brooks wrote On page 66 of his book, All About Me!,
So were scoped K98ks shipped from the factory to the schools in cases?
In the ongoing search for a P14 with a WW 1 prismatic Warner & Swasey scope, I wrote the aassociation of Canadian Military Museums.
Here's the old link: ...
Bob Dunlap used to call them Numbnuts
Looks like someone used military parts to make a gun. Stock has been civilianized.
It does look like 30 cal. Probably a M91/30 or a MG firing that Russian caliber?
Dibs on the front swivel/barrel band.
I wonder if Ian Skennerton has blue prints for the mount. It would be worth acquiring it from him and getting a machinist to make them.
Should be on in every home.
Thank you! It's a 30-06 M1917 and not a .303 calibre P-14.
I've no intention of building one and don't have a Warner & Swasey sight. It was the epiphany that the P14 with Warner & Swasey is...
Was that the same guy who machined one at GunBoards? That stuff would take time but isn't that challenging if you have a milling machine.
That's a long time ago. The collector who had it probably crossed the Styx so it may be either be with the family or went to an auction house.
Quoted from the other thread. Anyone have any idea where this surviving rifle with W&S actually exists and its whereabouts?

This is the only other image of a Canadian using a WW I Warner & Swasey...
Concur that Regia Marina had very handsome ships. Their modernisation of their WW I dreadnoughts and their later battleships (Vittorio Veneto, etc.) were all very handsome.
Does anybody have an image of the Rifle No. 3 with the Warner & Swasey scope. These were former P14 Enfields that had surplus WW I Warner & Swasey scopes mounted on them and used by the Canadians in...

Allerberger's book has been out for a while and Voices of Russian Snipers is relatively new. Hence the lack of reviews. As it is fresh new material, I liked it better than Voices of Snipers...
LOL @ myself. I thought you underlined and didn't realize it was a link. We read the same one then. There's actually information in her diary if you know how to interpret it. I mentioned it in my...
Page 72 of Allerberger only mentions that an optics factory was supplied during the era of Weimar-Soviet cooperation. Generally the Germans went to the Soviet Union to instruct the Soviets and not...
@Surpmil - check out Voices of Russian Snipers by Drabkin. Andrey Ulanov writes a very good essay, Stalkers of the Enemy that constitutes Chapter 1. It covers early attempts to learn sniping in the...
Well shucks, I lurned somethin new today. Thanks!
No. Lt. William Putney trained the Marines' 2nd & 3rd War Dog platoon in Quantico. The first War Dog Platoon was trained by a Hollywood trainer (presumably in California). If there was a LA or MS...
Thanks. I think I figured out the 99th Div Source and have it somewhere in my library. The first one still puzzles me.
Hand engraved, and not very good either.
