Assembly complete on about half of the lot.

These have been received from the manufacturer and are in the process of assembly.

An M60 barrel bag works well and the two side pockets hold the butt and some 20/30 round mags.

Now accepting pre-production orders for newly manufactured sleeves to protect your ammo. These are thicker than the original (.070 vs .060 wall thickness) and smaller (1 1/8" vs 1 3/16") ID. In addition there is an insert that keeps the round from sliding out the front (not in the original tubes) as well as an additional one that supports the end cap. This also gives the front end of the tube support so it will not deform. These will hold up under multiple handlings and protect your valuable ammo. Orders before June 15 are 2.00 each and 2.50 post 6/15. Price does not include shipping. PM me for details.

I bought Dolf Goldsmith's L/39 Lahti last year. This is my 4th and last. My only regret was selling them. It came with 130 rounds of ammo the coffin and accessories sans the spare parts kit (looking for one of them) In addition, I have also accumulated 105 rounds of brass that is now being reloaded. The recoil does not bother me. The 4 newbies that shot it didn't think the recoil was that detrimental. They all hunt with these big ass African magnum cartridges ie; 416 Rigby, 338 Lapua, some Kynoch Nitro Express this or that etc. that (to me) kick a lot worse than a Lahti. As far as transport, we have trucks in Texas. I did transport one, uncovered, in the back of an El Camino through downtown Memphis once. No tailgaters. I'm with johnsomlmg41, the coffin will be used as mine too.

Just ordered Gordon's books and looking forward to going through them. What about #2487, is it listed in the book?

I'm looking for the front sight for a Reising Model 65/H&R 65/H&R Leatherneck. It's not available from Numrich, Sarco, Sherwood/Northridge, or Bob's Gun Shop. Waiting to hear back from Jack First. Any thoughts on where to look? Thanks. Very similar to this.

Not mine, look like they were in great shape when destroyed. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=507749781 I don't know how to post the photos direct to here but someone should

Try the Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg, TX

Any updates on the status of these barrels? Thanks

I've seen a caption to this photo. It was taken in the Phillipines sometime after December 7, 1941.

Barrels are looking good. I'm ready for one.
