Get yourself a Brownells catalog,,,You will be in 1911 heaven...
Funny you should mention that, I was just on the Brownell's web-site last night and ordered the newest 1911 Catalog.
Was lokoing to get and Ed Brown and a Wilson Combat catalog also, but it looks like they are strictly on-line now. I think Brownells carries most of their stuff anyhow.
You see the WH Tompson,M1a,Garand(1956),03,BYF44(85%match #),G43( matching #.),FN49 (Argentine Navy),VZ24 and the STG44(replica.22) and the my baby Inland 44.The Apienne BM59 should hopefully be in my hands in about 6wks.I also replaced the flash suppressor on the Scout,got 240rds Austrian .308 and another 400 cases of .308 ready to go.I am about to close in on 9K in ammo in various calipers with about 6k in .308.

Well I walked away from the BM59 for the time being thinking more along the lines of an investment.I think it will pan out in the long run.The 1909 Argentine Mauser is coveted as one of the premiere Mauser's coming out of SA.The rifle was marked quite high but reasonable for it's condition and got it for $600 less then the asking price.I bought it at the local GS but it had originated from an auction.
Argentine 7.65X53mm w/29.5" bbl.,blue/ bright finish,walnut stock.This an excellent example of a pre-war Mauser contract rifle manufactured for Argentina.These are marked on top of the receiver ring with the large Argentina Crest and the left side of the receiver is marked "MAUSER MODELO/ ARGENTINO 1909" and the receiver side wall is marked "DEUTSCHE WAFFEN UND/MUNTIONSFABRIKEN,BERLIN".The right side of the chamber is marked with the serial number and a proof mark.The tangent rear sight graduates to 2000 meters and the top of the slide has a small "anchor"proof which may indicate that it belonged to the Argentine Navy.It has a bright polished receiver,bolt and forend/bayonet lug with the remaining parts blue.Mounted with a full one piece nicely figured walnut pistol grip stock and handguard stamped with the matching serial number on the right side at the receiver ,oval proof on the right rear and a shield with "AG"in the center of the grip.Complete with a correct cleaning rod numbered to the rifle.Complete with a muzzle/front sight cover number to the rifle.All visible numbers match.
CONDITION:Excellent with 97% blue finish remaining on the barrel.There is an area behind the front barrel band that is thinning and there is some pin prick type pitting on the forward portion.The bayonet lug/forend has a smooth brown patina.The remaining blue finish parts retain 98% original finish with a few minor scratches on the floor plate.The receiver and bolt handle are beginning to turn gray in areas.The bore is clean/bright.The stock is excellent with a few minor dings/scratches.The markings are crisp and clear.The action is excellent.
From the auction slip.

Very nice!

Kevin, fantastic condition. I'd say you got a real buy there
Thanks Guys
Mike I saw one up for sale @ $1595 was maybe 70-75% of this one and I recognized the seller and he is always alittle on the high side meaning maybe it was a $1300-1400 rifle really.I p/u this one for $1195 and it's @ 95%+ rating so I am already ahead of the game.I buy 40rds for this one shoot 5rds and a closet Queen it becomes much like the other three matching number rifles I have.The quest continues for more but time to start saving again spent 2K plus on rifles this year time to quit.

Boy do I hear you! After the .17 Golden Boy, PTR-91 7.62, and .22 pellet rifle (for plinking squirrels) plus ammo for all the guns my budget is also shot. But that FN 5.7 won't stop calling me

Impressive state, inmaculate condition, probably never used, the army bought 210.000 of that model in 1909-1914, more rifles than soldiers !

Oh, what the heck. I'll bite.
Guns what I own:
• S&W Model 36-1 revolver, .38 Special, which is like a Chief's Special but with a 3" instead of 2" barrel and a square-butt grip
• Ruger LCP pistol, .380 ACP
• Kahr CW9 pistol, 9x19mm
• Beretta Model 71 Jaguar pistol, .22LR
• Uberti Model 1866 Yellowboy carbine, .38 Special
• Ruger 10/22 rifle, .22LR
• Mossberg Model 341 rifle, .22LR, bolt-action with a box magazine and a 24" barrel
• Izhevsk Vintovka Mosina three-line rifle Model 91/30, 7.62x54R, made in 1943, ran hard and put away wet before refurbishment at a Ukrainian arsenal
• Ithaca Model 49, .22LR, tilting-block single shot kinda like a Martini action but with an external hammer and dressed up to look like a miniature Winchester Model 94 - this was my first gun, given to me when I was 14
• Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer Police Special, 12ga x 2.75", the old police model with an improved-cylinder choke, 20" barrel, 7-round magazine, and rifle sights
• Zhong Zhou Machine Works (by way of Century) JW-2000 shotgun, 12ga x 3" side-by-side with dog-ear hammers, and I'm not one to automatically dismiss Chinese engineering out-of-hand but man is this thing a piece of junk
And that's not counting the two percussion rifles (.45 and .50 caliber), two rifled flintlock pistols (.44 and .45 caliber), two Colt-pattern percussion revolvers (a real Colt .36 and a Uberti .44), the two pre-1899 top-break pocket revolvers (one Iver Johnson, one H&R, both .32 cal), and the Orion 12ga "distress signaling device".
Guns what have graced my presence but have sadly long since parted ways:
• NORINCO Type 56 (Chinese SKS), 7.62x39mm, military surplus, built 1977 - this was my first centerfire rifle
• ROF Fazakerley Enfield Number 4 Mk.I, .303 British, bubba'd (not by me) with an L42A1 style stock
• ROF Fazakerley Enfield Number 4 Mk.II, .303 British, again bubba'd (again not by me) with an L42A1 style stock - I know this type of modification is frowned upon but I actually bought both these rifles specifically because they had been modded, as I prefer the handling qualities of the shorter forend
• Gewehrfabrik Erfurt Model 98A small-ring Mauser (at least I think that's what it was), 6.5x57mm (no that is not a typo), a military model converted by the factory into a hunting rifle with light-weight profile barrel and double set trigger, and at some point thereafter fitted with a Weaver K4 60B scope; the rifle came with sizing/loading dies since 6.5x57mm is strictly a roll-your-own-ammo deal, made from 7x57mm Spanish Mauser brass
• Waffenfabrik Bern K31 carbine, 7.5x55mm Swiss
• H&K Model HK770 rifle, .308 Winchester, a semiauto hunting rifle based on their standard roller-delayed blowback system but with two-piece billet receiver, single-piece walnut stock, and 3-round detachable magazine; without a doubt the most unnecessarily complicated and dirtiest-running rifle I've ever used let alone owned
• a custom M4 carbine type thing assembled by myself, 5.56x45mm NATO; S&W lower receiver, Magpul MOE carbine stock on a mil-spec 6-position DSA tube, H3 recoil buffer, Bravo Company complete upper with 16" SOCOM-profile barrel, MOE handguards, a standard Colt military-issue A4 detachable carry handle, and generally used with 20-round magazines (both 2nd-gen PMAGs and late-70s Colt USGI) because I liked the way the rifle handled better with them as opposed to 30-rounders
• Remington Model 870 Tactical Magnum, 12ga x 3", a non-standard market-test model that predated the Remington 870 Tactical series; OD green finish, 20" cylinder-bore barrel, 7-round magazine via extension, Knoxx pistol-grip stock
• Izhevsk Baikal IZh-43 Bountyhunter II, 12ga x 2.75", hammerless side-by-side with 28.5" fixed-choke barrels, double triggers, and no recoil pad; simultaneously lighting off two 1oz slugs from that thing was fun, as in the kind of fun that leaves you black and blue and occasionally bleeding. And no, I'm not being sarcastic when I say it was fun.
That's all I can remember off the top of my head. I might have forgotten a few.

Yeah, dents the crap out of the brass and launches it into low Earth orbit. All mechanically-delayed blowback guns are like that. It's one of the reasons I'm not overly fond of them, but it's kind of fun to watch.

the HK 91 ( and probably the 93 ) does the same thing...but for that you can ( or used to be able to ) buy a rubber buffer that snapped onto the ejection port that kept that from happening.

Took a First Shots Class at my local indoor gun range.
First Time shooting a gun. Smith Wesson M&P .22 Compact.
I need to get some shooting therapy in here shortly. Might head out to the range next weekend. Shoot the Beretta, XD45 and the Mauser.
Hopefully have the new AR-15 here in a few weeks.

Bobby, I have a HK 91 and never thought it had a particularly harsh ejection. I don't reload so never paid much attention to the brass
