the last engineer Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I had looked at that Dougy, very similar but i think the front strap is different, and the rivetin the stock is missing martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Arisaka type 99 ?? Japan The magazine is situated way too far back to be the rifle in question i think fella. Any clue to the calibre at all?Not a 6.5mm by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Its a Gewehr 43 mate, German semi automitic rifle from the Second World War Not doubting you fella,but i think its more like the Swedish Ljungmann AG42 semi auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykie Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Not doubting you fella,but i think its more like the Swedish Ljungmann AG42 semi auto. Just google imaged the gun you mentioned, and your right, it is very similar to the photo. Maybe it is a Ljungmann AG42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the last engineer Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 it does too,,,,,,,, my poor head, i am told it has a brass disk in the stock also, i do not know the calibre, the action has been taken and stored away from the rifle as there were children around, the old fella died and this is all we have to go on.
