Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality and for the great food that everyone provided (I did not get to enjoy @brock ratcliff pizza due to stomach issues :( ). It was great seeing all of you. The fireworks show @CJD3 was pretty colossal. I still can't get over how green it is down that way.

You've got a bait station there with wood exposed at grade and a buried corner.

That whole corner is retarded.

I've also put some weight back on, but by choice.

Happy father's day all

Mannlicher 88/90 dated 1889. Austro-Hungarian, then Italian reparation and then Ethiopian and now mine.

The carbine cleaned up nicely and the bore is actually quite good for B grade. Before After

After conservation. All original finishes were reserved. The rear sight slider is missing and the magazine follower leaf spring came broken. I can't find either part, but there are no plans to fire it. This is by far the dirtiest and most rusty gun I've worked on.

Picked up a Budapest M95 carbine, 1917 Austrian approval stamp.
