Any pics of your SVT-40? It's a beautiful rifle and with the price of surplus 7.62x54r it's on my shortlist of future purchases - unfortunately for me they're quickly rising in value stateside - $800 and up. bunni 00:06, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Collection

That's quite an extensive list of weapons you own. I didn't think Canadians were allowed to privately own guns? Orca1 9904 00:05, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

No, they can but I think their laws are very strict-76.31.5.208 21:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)

I bet it's a pain to get ammo though-S&Wshooter 00:32, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Not at all. I go to the store, I flash my firearms permit, and I pay. Although if you mean getting ammo for all my weird old guns, then yeah, that's a pain, but I usually manage. - Nyles

Sorry if you don't like the Caliber listing on the image descriptor

We've strayed a bit from that, but that WAS the site standard in the beginning, to list the weapon and then the caliber at the end of the sentence. MoviePropMaster2008 03:20, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Death Hunt

This movie is right up your alley. Canadian Mounties in a manhunt in the Yukon in the early twenties. Lots of older firearms along with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson. How can you go wrong? If ever a page screamed for Nyles that's the one. Right now it's pretty sparse. Just FYI. --Jcordell 13:36, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Snider-Enfield artillery carbine

Thanks for the fix. I thought that maybe the model in the film was shorter but I just chalked it up to an optical illusion. I guessing since The Ghost and the Darkness was filmed in South Africa that the movie armorer was South African. Bet you can find some great old British firearms down there. Thanks again. Like you I have a fondness for movies set in the past using older firearms. Especially more unusual firearms. --Jcordell 21:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I've noticed we like the same movies. And by the way, I got a copy of Death Hunt - a project for my first week overseas.

I'm looking forward to it. Hey you stay safe over there partner. --Jcordell 00:22, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
