The southern shoulder of "The Bulge"

[Djay3]

You will not believe this WW2 small arms collection! A goodly number are Battle of the Bulge pickups stored in farm houses since the war. The first Garand photo is certainly not such but please continue on pilgrim.

Quote by the OP who lives in Luxembourg... "I got the gun with the sight and launcher attached. It was well oiled and wrapped in an old coat, standing in a closet in a farms attic where the farmers grand father had put it in December 1945.”

Here is the link ... (hopefully corrected) ... if not monkey lizard found the correct link below.

Law allows him to shoot the semi autos; his country's laws allow him to keep the fully automatic weapons in an unneutered condition but he is not allowed to fire them.

Warning: The thread is 6 pages long! His first photo post was Nov 2nd, 2012 and his last photo post in the thread was posted today! Edited September 30, 2015 by Djay3

Me too. I'll google this later and see if I can find it.

I'm so jealous.

[peejman]

Wow.  $2500 Euros ($2800 USD) for a fully functional M2.  Just wow.

That is the correct link "monkeylizard! Thanks! I think I've now got it corrected in my first post.

My keyboard gets covered in drool when scanning his collection! Edited September 29, 2015 by Djay3

Jeez the guy has some good looking firearms. Wish I had some of them!

. Yep, to own a weapon directly tied to the Bulge ... major goosebumps!

When he acquires one from a local farmhouse or such, I hope he records any "back story" the family may know about the relative who first acquired the firearm and the circumstances.

Luxembourg may be the country to escape to. You can own, but can't shoot...unless the zombies are attacking?

I spend quite a bit of time in Belgium and Luxembourg.  I guess I need to start looking a little closer at things.  Heck, even if I found something, the cost to get it to the US (if you even could) would be ridiculous.

Yep. Somewhere in the thread, I recall the OP saying he couldn't legally sell/ship to the U.S. (Not to mention the U.S. hurdles)
