Next bolt action rifle

 

[Scorch]

Sure looks like a Portuguese Verguiero rifle. The cocking piece is a little different, though.

 

[Ozzieman]

I had to go look at a Portuguese Verguiero rifle, they do look similar but this one has the magazine extending out the bottom and what you noticed.
But no its not a Portuguese Verguiero rifle

 

[Scorch]

OK, found it. Danish Madsen 1947

Ozzie: "One of these days I am going to go through all of these and count up how many you have gotten right Scorch, I am impressed with your knowledge"


Scorch: "OK, found it. Danish Madsen 1947"


Umm...I think Ozzie & Scorch have the same book.

Crap. Day late and dollar short.

I THINK the Madsden holds the title of the last bolt action rifle adopted as standard for any military.

I THINK the Madsden holds the title of the last bolt action rifle adopted as standard for any military.

I wouldn't doubt that at all, since it was brought out around 1950, and the USA and Russia started giving all their WW2 surplus semiauto rifles to whoever raised their hand right about that same time.

 

[Ozzieman]

OK, found it.

YES you did.
And Mike it IS the last bolt action.
You guys do know that there is more to life than GUNS!!!

The Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle M47 (or the Madsen Lightweight Military Rifle Model 1947;[1] commonly abbreviated as M47) is a bolt-action rifle chambered for all military cartridges. The M47 was the last bolt action designed with a goal in mind, but the surplus of standard small arms and the rapid increase of semi-automatic rifles after World War II led to the total failure of the M47. The M47 was available for sale in 1951, shipping to many countries who could not afford semi-automatic rifles for their militaries.[2]

Lets see how you guys do with this one.

I am shocked, 20,000 hits

I just noticed that the number of Views has hit, I don’t believe it and I am shocked, 20,000 hits. (Actually 19,993 as I write this)
I started this for fun back on Sept 7 last year and never expected it to run like this. And its all of the members that I thank for using this thread.
It all started with my finding a black powder tester that fascinated me.
To celebrate, I am going to attach a couple of more powder testers.
Enjoy
