Here is my Christmas gift (a little early)... I feel like the hunting crowd will appreciate it:) An 1873 Winchester lever action, chambered for a .45 round.

Dude, that is sweet!

Gradually getting to the modern day:) I'm out of space though... thinking I'd love a Garand... and while it will NEVER happen because it is tens of thousands of dollars, I'd love a de-miled MG42... but it will never happen.

Two of my favorite WW-II movies are Inglorious Bastards and Fury, both starring Brad Pitt. Favorite I guess is Saving Private Ryan.

What are some other favorites?
If you haven’t seen Hacksaw Ridge, I highly suggest this movie. Based on a true story and probably the best military movie I’ve seen all together. I have watched it 4 times and never get enough. Just unbelievable.

Saving Private Ryan is my favorite movie. I could watch WWII movies and Zombie movies all day.

Netflix has a good selection of foreign WWII movies if you don’t mind subtitles. Probably a half dozen on Stalingrad and the fall of Berlin that I’d recommend. The Dutch have a few good ones too.

I’m not a big fan of war movies but one war movie that I’ve always liked is a war movie that was my uncle’s favorite war movie and that was Sergeant York. He used to watch it all the time whenever it was on tv and I rink he might have also had it on VHS. My favorite part was when Sergeant York was in the trenches and he started at the end of the line of enemy soldiers and picked them off one by one and when asked how he was able to kill so many enemy soldiers he used turkey hunting to explain why he was able to kills so many enemy soldiers. It’s a biographical film based on Sergeant Alvin York who was one of the most decorated American soldiers during WWI. Some of the OFC guys on the board might have seen it. It was released in 1941.

You and my son would get along great. He watches and reads everything WWII.

Beautiful gun. That kinda looks like the one on the Winchester Logo. Winchester is my rifle of choice. I'm about to buy a silencer for my Model 70. It's in the "cart" on the web page, just haven't pulled the trigger, so to speak. Damn thing will end up being about $1,300 bucks after buying the tax stamp, having the barrel threaded, etc.
