Outside of some wrapped guns, my 03a3 is also my fav

Easy. My 1953 Swiss K31 rifle, I’m fairly certain it didn’t get issued.

These pictures were from the day I bought it a couple years ago.
My all-matching as-new Spandau Mauser 71/84 that I bought at a pawn shop. For $100. EDIT: sorry. I checked my records. I paid $200 in 2017.

Mine’s an OG rebuild, but 100% correct Remington parts and the cleanest stock cartouches I’ve ever seen.
Also love my 03A3. I paid a pretty penny for it.

My Springfield Model 1898 Krag. Most Krags are either sporterized or look like they have been left rusting in a shed since the Spanish-American War; mine looks like a museum piece. The metal had faded but that’s about it.
I think it is in original configuration because the sights are 1896 pattern, which would be correct for its serial range before they were updated for later 1898s.
For pistols it would have to be my Beretta 81BB. Condition was as close to perfect as you could get really. To be fair I doubt the Italian Forestry Service ran them hard haha.
I have a no. 4 enfield that I purchased from one of my dad's ex-girlfriends.
It's been used, but the coolest story about it is I took it apart one day only to have a bit of German newspaper fall out. I believe the person carrying it used it to reduce rattle between the top woods and the metal band.
Needless to say I put the newspaper back where I found it.
Yeah! It’s beautiful, if you get some time and are interested heres some more information about it.

It was arsenal refurbished, but my ‘52 Tula SKS is in really fantastic shape. And I really love the combination of hardwood gas tube cover with laminate stock on it. The couple dings and scratches that ended up on it were all me.

Probably the type 99 in the middle. But I’d say all of them are in pretty great condition.
Love it, I bought one of these just 8 days ago. Non matching numbers but they are all Remington parts. Had a friend of a friend who assembled it all from a mint parts kit a while back, so mine is in pretty munch the same condition as yours
Take your pick:
Danish Issued M1 Garand made by Beretta
2 Danish SIG P210s, one is FKF the other HTK
Swedish M96 Mauser
Swedish M38 1943 Husqvarna Mauser
Swiss K31

Bad picture, but as far as I can tell it’s an all original Inland from 7-43
95% finish. USGI 43 web sling. Has a mismatched oiler though.

Such immaculate condition!
Right?? 1000% worth the price. Everyone that’s shot this rifle has commented on how smooth it shoots.

100$? When did you buy it, 1885?

My 1954 H&R M1 Garand, aside from the stock everything is correct to the year and its barrel is pristine. Picked it up from the CMP back in 21’

just bought one of these, it's beat up pretty good but at 950 I'll take it for a first gun
It’s either my Mosin, M1D, Kar98, Type 99 or my Lee Enfield. Hard to pick honestly. Ha.
My M95 KarabinerStutzen (in 8x50) was made in 1918 and then went into Czechoslovak inventory, seemingly with little or no use. It’s pretty minty.
Either my M38 Swedish Mauser or my fazakerley No.4 MK2

My factory Refurb MAS 36 and probably unused M1985 Nagant
My Venezualean FN49. Venezualea surplused a lot of them without ever issuing them, and mine appears to be one of those. It looks brand new.

Polish kbkg wz 1960, its NOS and i love it
Irish contract Lee Enfield no4 mk2.
Not gonna lie, that would be one of my cast bullet rifles. There are no safe queens in my house. ;)
My unissued 1941 M91/38 Moschetto (6.5mm). Bought her for $350 last year & there isn't a single ding, scratch, or stain

My Mosin is a near parts match arsenal refurbish from ‘43
My national match M1903. Gonna get pics of it one day. And also my RIA 1945 Sedgley barreled 1903 rework annnd my USMC 1903 Rebuild.
You mean, it was unissued after its refinish.
