Ah! A fellow 1915 PTG! Although, yours has a smaller number than mine (which is is a wee bit over 222000). I absolutely love my PTG ... it's my favorite to take to the range!
BTW, all of them are very nice!

Why not? I took my 1890 gew 88 to the range and it loved it.

“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
C. S. Lewis

Very nice.
Almost as pretty as my collection.
In al seriousness, I am jealous of the M38's. I still need to get my grubby hands on one and an American M91.

Re: Hello...here is my collection so far
I had to buy a donor stock before I take my PTG to the range. Dave, you have seen the stock on my 1916 SCW PTG. You know there is no way and hell I would risk damaging that stock with all those old field repairs with a trip to the range.racerguy00 wrote:desdem12 wrote:Why not?
