Photos of my US Navy Bolt Rifles

[cowtownscout]

I collect US Military Long Arms and currently have about 100 pieces of history in my care. They span from Flintlocks of the French & Indian War and Revolutionary War all the way to what is currently in service. They include the appropriate slings and bayonets with scabbards for most. Several are Navy black powder bolt action rifles and I was not sure which forum to post them however in the thread on W/L I asked and was told “Go for it!” So hope you enjoy the photos about 10 per arm showing both sides and ending with the open action. They all have Navy inspection markings. I tried to take photos of the martial markings on each but could not get them in focus. (This is my third thread started on Culver’s, one was a Remington Model 10-A in the Military Shotguns Forum and the other was photos of my sniper rifles in the sniper forum) Guess now I will have to work on some photos of the Krags, and Trapdoors in my care and post them. Just posted photos of my bayonets and scabbards over in knife and bayonet forum.
