Kasey has a Portuguese Kropatschek Carbine for sale. These are really neat rifles.

They were made by Steyr and were tube fed. The Portuguese really liked them. I ran into 2 examples of them when I was in DR Congo. I guess they had crossed the border from Angola. One was really rough but the other was still being used to shoot animals for market.



And another very cool gun for sale:

These were very well made guns and highly regarded back before WW2. The 280 Ross cartridge was very powerful for its time right up there close to the 7mm Mag.
