Nice Garand! (although the pic is tiny for me)
I've got plenty of Osprey books for reading, a few war films (winter war and fortress of war), hop bucking for the stg and airsoft international and airsoft action magazines.
I had a late present....
and my fave so far a 1915 sword bayonet thats been in my family for a very long time and my uncle wanted me to have.
I got the impression this was my great grandfathers who fought against the turks in wwi as we were chatting about this before he gave it to me.

Nice sword bayonet! Book: Heinz Guderian, Panzer Leader

SVT40 wood handguard, metal upper handguard, rear sight assembly, barrel band and muzzle assembly. Unfortunately the foresight post is missing as i didn't realise it wasn't included but the muzzle threads straight onto an M14 outer barrel which is handy. Best get cracking if I want it ready for Feb.
