    Is that an HK in 7.62? I got to shoot one once, very fine rifle.

    CSP is what you make it.

    A picture of your gun is worth 1,000 words. A crappy picture is only worth 100.

      A fine rifle, learnable with time.

        I have a HK91 (SR9). I prefer its iron sights for some reason. The hole in the rear sight with the globe front sight and a round bullseye makes it easy to line everything up. The only thing I found to take some practice was putting the bolt back together after cleaning. It's a very well made, quality firearm.

              G3/91 has VERY positive extraction and ejection, and the return to battery is authoritative as well. Beats the cases to hell without the ejection port buffer. The fluted chamber is great for reliability and cooling, but it's also tough on the cases as well.

                  Gunner, that marvelous Schildkroete is on the endangered species list. Where did you find such a rare beast? BK

                    Look again

                    That rifle belongs to Tony-in-NH. I enquired. It is indeed a rare bird and the going cost reflects that! Beautiful rifle.

                      Hi Chaz,

                      dont know from where he is coming from. But he likes marching in step and whistles marching music. Maybe you know what kind of Schildkroete it is.
                      Seems you had a time in Germany?

                        Four steps for activation of German Reserve Military Forces:

                        1. Meet at Biergarten.

                        2. Consume 2 liters beer.

                        3. Start singing military tunes, followed by old version of Deutschland Ueber Alles.

                        4. Invade France.
                        Enfield, everything else is just a rifle. Unless it's a Garand.

                          Liam, those are beautiful rifles but I was talking about the tortoise (Schildkroete) with that interesting shell...see Gunner's avatar! Yes, I traveled quite a lot in (West) Germany back in the days when my command of the language was better. I haven't been to Bayern in 24 years and must return.

                            Hal,

                            Good points but i miss the 5th: Eat huge amounts of Weißwurst!!! I suppose that you´re an German Army Resevist, if so than i hope to see you at our next meeting at the Biergarten.

                            Chaz,

                            I think it is the time to come back to Bayern in two months the weather will be really fine and the Biergarten is open too.
